While linguistic laws have been thoroughly studied over the last century [1,2,3], the debate on its ultimate origin is still open. In what follows we summarise the classic four linguistic laws [3], recently revised, mathematically substantiated and expanded to two other laws [4] (see Table...
In the last 20 years, there has been marked development in dust properties simulations [27,28,29]. Furthermore, in many studies, the performance of the dust modeling was investigated in dust storm generation [30,31,32]. Additionally, dust propagation and transportation were investigated in ...
To remove aDNA damage, we trimmed the last two bases of each sequence for UDG-treated libraries and the last five for non-UDG-treated libraries. Sex determination To determine the genetic sex of ancient individuals processed at the MPI-SHH, we calculated the coverage on the autosomes as well...
2a). Given current estimates of 10,865 extant bird species, this suggests that 11.6% (10.9–12.4) of all bird species (approximately one in nine) have gone extinct over the last ~126,000 years, with human activities likely contributing to almost all these extinctions. We estimate that 55%...
How to re-member a fragmented world while climate change escalates, and green growth models reproduce coloniality, particularly in Indigenous terr
However, further drillhole cores and exploration projects conducted during the last 20 years have led to the discovery of economically important Pb–Zn–Cu–Fe–Mo polymetallic orebodies (Yuan et al., 2014; Zhao et al., 2016). In contrast to typical Makeng-type Fe deposits, the bedded Pb...
(~30,000 km2). Many of these mangrove forests have witnessed a substantial reduction in the last century and the recent past decades. However, the scientific community has not paid equal attention to studying several aspects of these forests throughout the periphery of the Indian Ocean. The ...
The recent success and popularity of improved neural methods has brought renewed interest in these questions from the computional linguistics and cognitive science communities. A series of papers and responses have been published in the last few yearsKirov and Cotterell (2018),Corkery et al. (2019...
With 230Th dates in precision as good as ±62 years, we present a decadal-resolved δ18O record covering 30.0–22.7 thousand years ago (ka) from a stalagmite of Son La Province, northwestern Vietnam as a proxy record of the Asian summer monsoon (ASM). On millennial timescales, our data...
The available historical evidence and our recent population surveys suggest that the abundance and distribution of giraffe in Uganda have undergone great change in the last 100 years. Although the historical record remains incomplete due to the lack of documented indigenous knowledge, anecdotal reports ...
