Raking: An Important and Often Overlooked Survey Analysis Tool
(2015)
This article was developed in parallel with the article, “The Survey Process: With an Emphasis on Survey Data Analysis,” published in the June edition of PHALANX. Together these articles discuss the importance of surveys ...
Phenoscape: Semantic analysis of organismal traits and genes yields insights in evolutionary biology
(PeerJ, 2018-06-13)
The study of how the observable features of organisms, i.e., their phenotypes, result from the complex interplay between genetics, development, and the environment, is central to much research in biology. The varied language ...
Exploring and Reconstructing Ancestral Anatomies using Ontology-Informed Approaches
(Pensoft, 2019-06-13)
Ancestral character state reconstruction has been long used to gain insight into the evolution of individual traits in organisms. However, organismal anatomies (= entire phenotypes) are not merely ensembles of individual ...
Integrative single-cell omics analyses reveal epigenetic heterogeneity in mouse embryonic stem cells
(PLOS, 2018-03)
Embryonic stem cells (ESCs) consist of a population of self-renewing cells displaying extensive phenotypic and functional heterogeneity. Research towards the understanding of the epigenetic mechanisms underlying the ...
Divergent age-dependent peripheral immune transcriptomic profile following traumatic brain injury
(Springer Nature, 2019-06-12)
The peripheral immune system is a major regulator of the pathophysiology associated with traumatic brain injury (TBI). While age-at-injury influences recovery from TBI, the differential effects on the peripheral immune ...
A Short-Snouted, Middle Triassic Phytosaur and its Implications for the Morphological Evolution and Biogeography of Phytosauria
(Nature, 2017-04-10)
Following the end-Permian extinction, terrestrial vertebrate diversity recovered by the Middle Triassic, and that diversity was now dominated by reptiles. However, those reptilian clades, including archosaurs and their ...
The earliest equatorial record of frogs from the Late Triassic of Arizona
(Royal Society Publishing, 2019-02-01)
Crown-group frogs (Anura) originated over 200 Ma according to molecular phylogenetic analyses, though only a few fossils from high latitudes chronicle the first approximately 60 Myr of frog evolution and distribution. We ...
Probing equilibrium by nonequilibrium dynamics: Aging in Co/Cr superlattices
(American Physical Society, 2010-10)
Magnetization relaxation is investigated in a structurally ordered magnetic Co/Cr superlattice. Tailored nanoscale periodicity creates mesoscopic spatial magnetic correlations with slow relaxation dynamics when quenching ...
Aging in coarsening diluted ferromagnets
(American Physical Society, 2010-10)
We comprehensively study nonequilibrium relaxation and aging processes in the two-dimensional randomsite Ising model through numerical simulations. We discuss the dynamical correlation length as well as scaling functions ...
Ising metamagnets in thin film geometry: Equilibrium properties
(American Physical Society, 2011-10-17)
Artificial antiferromagnets and synthetic metamagnets have attracted much attention recently due to their potential for many different applications. Under some simplifying assumptions, these systems can be modeled by thin ...
