Next-generation RNA sequencing has been successfully used for identification of transcript assembly, evaluation of gene expression levels, and detection of post-transcriptional modifications. Despite these large-scale studies, additional comprehensive RNA-seq data from different subregions of the human brain are required to fully evaluate the evolutionary patterns experienced by the human bra…

Scattering and refractions that occur in the heterogenous near-surface beneath seismic stations can strongly affect the relative amplitudes recorded by three-component seismometers. Using data from Tungurahua volcanowe have developed a procedure to correct these ‘site effects’.We show that seismic noise signals store site information, and then use their normalized spectral amplitudes as sit…

Inner core convection, and the corresponding variations in grain size and alignment, has been proposed to explain the complex seismic structure of the inner core, including its anisotropy, lateral variations and the F-layer at the base of the outer core. We develop a parametrized convection model to investigate the possibility of convection in the inner core, focusing on the dominance of the pl…

Conventional traveltime seismic tomography methods with Tikhonov regularization (L2 norm) typically produce smooth models, but these models may be inappropriate when subsurface structure contains discontinuous features, such as faults or fractures, indicating that tomographic models should contain sharp boundaries. For this reason, we develop a double difference (DD) traveltime tomography metho…

Early museum pioneers Émile Gavet and his American contemporaries like Alva Vanderbilt, Isabella Gardner, and George Barnard were not interested in re-creating specific periods with academic rigour. Gardner and Barnard bought objects they liked, arranged them sympathetically, and created atmospheric and inviting total environments. They perhaps realized that historical precision was impossible…

Between 1900 and 1912 the American banker John Pierpont Morgan amassed an unparalleled collection of works of art and in the process greatly contributed to the globalization of the art world. The article analyses Morgan’s strategies as well as his ties with the network of dealers, curators, and experts that transformed the market and the reception for old European art at the turn of the twen…

We obtain 3-D Vp and Vp/Vs from 8 to 70 km depth along the northern Hikurangi subduction zone, New Zealand, where the downdip limit of interseismic coupling is shallower than 15 km, and where both large shallowslow-slip events (SSEs) and small deep SSEs have been observed. Onshore–offshore marine-seismic data were incorporated, which greatly improved constraint of shallow velocities and the …
