Understanding the diets, habitat use and mobility patterns of large- herbivores can provide important insights into past ecosystem dynamics and the hunting strategies of hominins that exploited them (e.g., refs.1,2,3,4,5). This is particularly the case in Late Pleistocene Europe where certain ...
Hand grip strength is a widely used proxy of muscular fitness, a marker of frailty, and predictor of a range of morbidities and all-cause mortality. To investigate the genetic determinants of variation in grip strength, we perform a large-scale genetic discovery analysis in a combined sample of...
Transcription factor 7-like 2 (TCF7L2) has been shown to be associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2MD) in multiple ethnic groups in the past two years, but, contradictory results were reported for Chinese and Pima Indian populations. The authors the

The GCAP, for example, encouraged the release of land for large-scale commercial agriculture. This has, so far, resulted in the acquisition of over 9000 ha of land in Ghana [36]. The BFP promoted large-scale land-based investment by encouraging the consolidation of large tracks of arable ...

Figure 10a shows plots of the delivery required compared with the deliverable concrete with a different number of trucks. Realistically, a truck can deliver concrete at the rate of 5 m35 m3 per hour, with each delivery taking approximately two hours. Therefore, the value of stress is 𝐼𝑆...
