We describe a near-complete, three-dimensionally preserved skeleton of a metatherian (relative of modern marsupials) from the middle Eocene (Lutetian: 44–43 million years ago) Lülük member of the Uzunçarşıdere Formation, central Turkey. With an estim... Read More about Skeleton of an unusual cat-sized marsupial relative (Metatheria: Marsupialiformes) from the middle Eocene (Lutetian: 44-43 million years ago) of Turkey.

Mean and cell-mean imputation resulting in the use of a semicontinuous distribution and a mixture of semicontinuous distributions (2017)
Journal Article
Aliakbari Saba, R., Rezaei Ghahroodi, Z., Kiani, K., & Berridge, D. M. (in press). Mean and cell-mean imputation resulting in the use of a semicontinuous distribution and a mixture of semicontinuous distributions. Communications in Statistics - Theory and Methods, 46(23), 11450-11465. https://doi.org/10.1080/03610926.2016.1267762

Zero-inflated models are commonly used for modeling count and continuous data with extra zeros. Inflations at one point or two points apart from zero for modeling continuous data have been discussed less than that of zero inflation. In this article,...

A theoretical study is presented to examine free convective boundary layer flow of water-based bio-nanofluid containing gyrotactic microorganisms past a wavy surface. Buongiorno’s nanofluid model with passively controlled boundary condition is applie... Read More about Bioconvection nanofluid slip flow past a wavy surface with applications in nano-biofuel cells.

Medium/Long wavelength sensitive opsin diversity in Pitheciidae (2017)
Journal Article
Goulart, V., Boubli, J., & Young, R. (2017). Medium/Long wavelength sensitive opsin diversity in Pitheciidae. Scientific reports, 7(7737), https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-017-08143-2

New World primates feature a complex colour vision system. Most species have polymorphic colour vision where males have a dichromatic colour perception and females can be either ichromatic or trichromatic. The adaptive value of high allelic diversity...

Surface-related properties of perovskite CH3NH3PbI3 thin films by aerosol-assisted chemical vapour deposition (2017)
Journal Article
Afzaal, M., Salhi, B., Al-Ahmed, A., Yates, H., & Hakeem, A. (2017). Surface-related properties of perovskite CH3NH3PbI3 thin films by aerosol-assisted chemical vapour deposition. Journal of Materials Chemistry C, 5(33), 8366-8370. https://doi.org/10.1039/C7TC02968C

A modified three-step aerosol-assisted chemical vapour deposition process was used to grow dense and uniform CH3NH3PbI3 thin films directly on borosilicate glass. The resulting photoluminescence spectrum was blue shifted with respect to its bandgap....

In mammals, the embryonic and fetal development of a species has evolved to maximize neonatal survival. In this study, we use a sample of 132 embryos/fetuses of wild lowland paca (Cuniculus paca), obtained over a period of 15 years through collaborat...
