DOI: 10.1016/j.marmicro.2021.102053
Abstract: Abstract The Early Jurassic nannofossil Schizosphaerella has displayed major changes in its mean valve size through time. These variations are investigated in detail in the Sinemurian to lowermost Toarcian of the Sancerre-Couy core (Paris Basin),… read more here.

DOI: 10.1063/1.4996363
Abstract: We have developed phase interferometric particle imaging (PHIPI) of Mie scattering to simultaneously measure the spherical and transparent droplet size at the micron scale and transient size changes at the nanoscale. The theoretical derivation of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/00036846.2021.1948962
Abstract: We study options market participants’ trading behaviour before and after the options multiplier increases. After the options multiplier increases, the options market becomes more efficient. By anal... read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rsos.160947
Abstract: Ontogenetic changes in mammalian skulls are complex. For a very few species (i.e. some Sorex shrews), these also include seasonally driven, bidirectional size changes within individuals, presumably to reduce energy requirements during low resource availabilities.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s40425-019-0513-4
Abstract: BackgroundIn oncology clinical development, objective response rate, disease control rate and early tumor size changes are commonly used as efficacy metrics for early decision-making. However, for immunotherapy trials, it is unclear whether these early efficacy… read more here.
