Crustal strain in the Marmara pull‐apart region associated with the propagation process of the North Anatolian Fault by Karakaş, Çagil, Armijo, R., Lacassin, R., Suc, J.-P., Melinte-Dobrinescu, M. C.

“…Our new description of the Dardanelles (or Ganos‐Gelibolu) fold‐thrust system is based on structural mapping, field observations, and calcareous nannoplankton analyses to date key sedimentary units. Our results provide tight constraints on the main pulse of folding associated with propagation of the tip of the NNAF: it took place in the late Miocene to earliest Pliocene (5.60 to 5.04 Ma), before deposition of undeformed Pliocene marine sediments. …”

In-site pollen record from the Dadiwan archaeological site and the human-environment relationship during Marine Oxygen Isotope Stage 3 by Peng, Wei, Huang, Xiaozhong, Zhang, Dongju, Storozum, Michael J., Chen, Fahu

“…To test this assumption, we combine in-site pollen, paleoclimatic, and archaeological data from the Dadiwan site and nearby areas on the western Loess Plateau (WLP) that date to Marine Oxygen Isotope Stage (MIS) 3. Our comparison of multiple datasets suggests that regional human activities increased when the vegetation around the Dadiwan area shifted from forest steppe in the early MIS 3 (59-46.7 ka) to steppe in the middle to late MIS 3 (46.7-29.5 ka). …”

Redefining Ancient Epirus

“…Now, derived from a larger project based at Oxford University entitled ‘Beyond the Borders’, this volume for the first time offers a reliable and up-to-date account of the archaeology of Epirus. <br> The contributions gathered here, written by some of the most influential international scholars currently involved in archaeological research in Epirus, aim to offer a balanced synthesis of the different cultural and historical phenomena at play in the region. …”

Large scale paired antibody language models by Kenlay, H, Dreyer, FA, Kovaltsuk, A, Miketa, D, Pires, D, Deane, CM

“…To address this challenge, we present IgBert and IgT5, the best performing antibody-specific language models developed to date which can consistently handle both paired and unpaired variable region sequences as input. …”

Fish diversity along streams in Ulu Muda Forest Reserve, Kedah, Peninsular Malaysia by Khaironizam, Md Zain, Abdullah Halim, Muhammad Rasul, Fahmi-Ahmad, Muhammad, Aqmal-Naser, M., Faraha, Intan, A Zakaria, Zahar, Norhakim Lokman, Mohd Ilham, Amal Azmai, Mohammad Noor, B Ahmad, Amiruddin

“…Forty-nine species from 24 fish families, including 10 new records for the area were recorded bringing the total number of fish species identified known to date to 63 species. Cypriniforms were the most dominant group of fish with 27 species, followed by siluriforms and anabantiforms with 11 and 10 species, respectively. …”

Long-lived particle reconstruction downstream of the LHCb magnet by LHCb collaboration

“…Trajectories reconstructed using only information from the tracker downstream of the dipole magnet, which are referred to as T tracks, have not been used for physics analysis to date. The challenges of the reconstruction of long-lived particles with T tracks for physics use are discussed and solutions are proposed. …”

Soil moisture-based drought monitoring using remote sensing over Africa by Lu, Catherine S.

“…Currently, drought monitoring systems for Africa are not as prevalent on the continental scale and are limited in the number of in-situ observations for model validation, in contrast to developed regions. In this study, we use soil moisture data gathered from the Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) mission with dates ranging from April 2015 to December 2023, in order to develop a drought monitoring system that incorporates seasonality and climatology. …”

Identification of RNA-Tis11b complexes in activated B cells. by Tang, Ngang Heok.

“…A type of RBPs, called 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) inducible sequence (TIS11) family members (Tis11, Tis11b and Tis11d), can bind to AU-rich elements (AREs) in 3’-untranslated region (3’ UTR) of mRNAs. To date, not much is known about roles of Tis11 family members in B and T lymphocytes and the full spectrum of their RNA targets in these cells has not been described. …”
