Application of parabolic cracks in determining handedness in archaeological remains. The case study of the Axlor site (Bizkaia, Iberian Peninsula)
(Elsevier, 2022-06)
[EN] Lithic artefacts are a potential source of information for the study of handedness in different human species. In flint flakes, a system of fractures is developed (parabolic cracks) around the point of percussion in ...
Toward an Ice-Free Mountain Range: Demise of Pyrenean Glaciers During 2011-2020
(American Geophysical Union, 2021-09-28)
[EN]Pyrenean glaciers are the largest in southern Europe. Their survival is threatened by climate change, highlighting the significance of their study. This research presents an assessment of changes in the glacierized ...
Intercomparison of UAV platforms for mapping snow depth distribution in complex alpine terrain
(Elsevier, 2021-10)
[EN]Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) offer great flexibility in acquiring images in inaccessible study areas, which are then processed with stereo-matching techniques through Structure-from-Motion (SfM) algorithms. This ...
Maritime-oriented foragers during the Late Pleistocene on the eastern costa del sol (Southeast Iberia): Cueva Victoria (Málaga, Spain)
(Elsevier, 2022-06)
[EN] The Mediterranean coast of Spain is marked by several clusters of Palaeolithic sites: to the south of the Pyrenees, in the area around the Ebro River, in the central part, and on the south coast, one of the southernmost ...
A Preliminary Global Automatic Burned-Area Algorithm at Medium Resolution in Google Earth Engine
(MDPI, 2021-10-26)
A preliminary version of a global automatic burned-area (BA) algorithm at medium spatial resolution was developed in Google Earth Engine (GEE), based on Landsat or Sentinel-2 reflectance images. The algorithm involves two ...
Landscape Genetics for the Empirical Assessment of Resistance Surfaces: The European Pine Marten (Martes martes) as a Target-Species of a Regional Ecological Network
(Public Library Science, 2014-10-16)
Coherent ecological networks (EN) composed of core areas linked by ecological corridors are being developed worldwide with the goal of promoting landscape connectivity and biodiversity conservation. However, empirical ...
Dietary Evidence from Central Asian Neanderthals: a Combined Isotope and Plant Microremains Approach at Chagyrskaya Cave (Altai, Russia)
(Elsevier, 2021-07)
Neanderthals are known primarily from their habitation of Western Eurasia, but they also populated large expanses of Northern Asia for thousands of years. Owing to a sparse archaeological record, relatively little is known ...
Using Y-chromosome capture enrichment to resolve haplogroup H2 shows new evidence for a two-path Neolithic expansion to Western Europe
(Nature, 2021-07-22)
Uniparentally-inherited markers on mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and the non-recombining regions of the Y chromosome (NRY), have been used for the past 30years to investigate the history of humans from a maternal and paternal ...
CoproID predicts the source of coprolites and paleofeces using microbiome composition and host DNA content
(2020-04-17)
Shotgun metagenomics applied to archaeological feces (paleofeces) can bring new insights into the composition and functions of human and animal gut microbiota from the past. However, paleofeces often undergo physical ...
Effect Of Nb And Cu On The Crystallization Behavior Of Understoichiometric Nd–Fe–B Alloys
(IOP Publishing LTD, 2017-01-11)
In this work, we present a complete study of the influence of Nb and Cu addition on the crystallization behavior of Nd-lean Nd-Fe-B melt-spun alloys. Alloys with compositions Nd10-x-yFe84B6NbxCuy (x = 1, y = 0 and x = 0.5, ...
