Paleomycology of the Princeton Chert II. Dark-septate fungi in the aquatic angiosperm Eorhiza arnoldii indicate a diverse assemblage of root-colonizing fungi during the Eocene
(The Mycological Society of America, 2013-09)Tissues of the extinct aquatic or emergent angiosperm, Eorhiza arnoldii incertae sedis, were extensively colonized by microfungi, and in this study we report the presence of several types of sterile mycelia. In addition ... -
Paleomycology of the Princeton Chert I. Fossil hyphomycetes associated with the early Eocene aquatic angiosperm, Eorhiza arnoldii
(The Mycological Society of America, 2013-05)The Eocene (~ 48.7 Ma, Ypresian–Lutetian) Princeton Chert of British Columbia, Canada, has long been recognized as a significant paleobotanical locality, and a diverse assemblage of anatomically preserved fossil plants has ... -
A horseshoe crab (Arthropoda: Chelicerata: Xiphosura) from the Lower Devonian (Lochkovian) of Yunnan, China
(Cambridge University Press, 2013-03)A single specimen of a new species of the synziphosurine Kasibelinurus Pickett, 1993 is described from the Lower Devonian (Lochkovian) Xiaxishancun Formation of Yunnan Province, China. The new species, K. yueya sp. nov., ... -
The potential distribution of the Vulnerable African lion Panthera leo in the face of changing global climate
(Cambridge University Press, 2014-06-03)The objective of this study is to estimate possible impacts of global climate change on the geographical distribution of the African lion Panthera leo in the coming decades. Current lion population occurrence data across ... -
Absolute continuity and convergence of densities for random vectors on Wiener chaos
(Institute of Mathematical Statistics (IMS), 2013-02-11)The aim of this paper is to establish some new results on the absolute continuity and the convergence in total variation for a sequence of d-dimensional vectors whose components belong to a finite sum of Wiener chaoses. ... -

Central limit theorem for a Stratonovich integral with Malliavin calculus
(Institute of Mathematical Statistics, 2013)The purpose of this paper is to establish the convergence in law of the sequence of “midpoint” Riemann sums for a stochastic process of the form f′(W)f′(W), where WW is a Gaussian process whose covariance function satisfies ... -
Distributional potential of the Triatoma brasiliensis species complex at present and under scenarios of future climate conditions
(Biomed Central, 2014-05-22)BACKGROUND: The Triatoma brasiliensis complex is a monophyletic group, comprising three species, one of which includes two subspecific taxa, distributed across 12 Brazilian states, in the caatinga and cerrado biomes. Members ... -
The Use of Ecological Niche Modeling to Infer Potential Risk Areas of Snakebite in the Mexican State of Veracruz
(Public Library of Science, 2014-06-24)Background Many authors have claimed that snakebite risk is associated with human population density, human activities, and snake behavior. Here we analyzed whether environmental suitability of vipers can be used as an ... -
Measurements and Analysis of Secondary User Device Effects on Digital Television Receivers
(Springer, 2009-11-30)This article presents results from a study of the potential effects of secondary users operating in unoccupied television spectrum. Television spectrum is known within the wireless communications community as being ... -
Probing Nucleation Mechanism of Self-Catalyzed InN Nanostructures
(Springer, 2009-09-16)The nucleation and evolution of InN nanowires in a self-catalyzed growth process have been investigated to probe the microscopic growth mechanism of the self-catalysis and a model is proposed for high pressure growth window ... -
Invasive potential of cattle fever ticks in the southern United States
(Springer, 2014-04-17)Background For >100 years cattle production in the southern United States has been threatened by cattle fever. It is caused by an invasive parasite-vector complex that includes the protozoan hemoparasites Babesia bovis ... -
Optimal External Memory Interval Management
(Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, 2003)In this paper we present the external interval tree, an optimal external memory data structure for answering stabbing queries on a set of dynamically maintained intervals. The external interval tree can be usedin an optimal ... -
Integrating fundamental concepts of ecology, biogeography, and sampling into effective ecological niche modeling and species distribution modeling
(Plant Biosystems - An International Journal Dealing with all Aspects of Plant Biology: Official Journal of the Societa Botanica Italiana, 2012-10-30)Correlative techniques for estimating environmental requirements of species – variably termed ecological niche modeling or species distribution modeling – are becoming very popular tools for ecologists and biogeographers ... -
Tracking Reading: Dual Task Costs of Oral Reading for Young Versus Older Adults
(Springer US, 2014-02-01)A digital pursuit rotor was used to monitor oral reading costs by time-locking tracking performance to the auditory wave form produced as young and older adults were reading out short paragraphs. Multilevel modeling was ... -
