- Systematic inequality and hierarchy in faculty hiring networks
An analysis of networks of graduate-to-faculty hires reveals systematic hiring biases and patterns.
- Refining lunar impact chronology through high spatial resolution 40Ar/39Ar dating of impact melts
Laser Ar-Ar dating of lunar melts improves chronology.
- Unprecedented 21st century drought risk in the American Southwest and Central Plains
Evidence suggests that Western North America will be drier at the end of the 21st century than any period of the last 1000 years.
- A unique chromatin complex occupies young α-satellite arrays of human centromeres
Young α-satellite tandem dimers dominate functional human centromeres and precisely position pairs of 100-bp CENP-A nucleosomes.
- Myosin-binding protein C corrects an intrinsic inhomogeneity in cardiac excitation-contraction coupling
The localization of MyBP-C within cardiac muscle cells provides efficient mechanochemical excitation-contraction coupling.
- Settlement scaling and increasing returns in an ancient society
Ancient Mesoamerican settlements obey the same scaling laws as modern cities despite vast differences in economy, technology and political organization.
- Membrane alternatives in worlds without oxygen: Creation of an azotosome
Calculations show that these molecules form membrane-like structures at low temperatures in a liquid methane environment.
- Distinct plasma immune signatures in ME/CFS are present early in the course of illness
Cytokine alterations are more strongly correlated with illness duration than with measures of illness severity.
