FINGERPRINTING SNAKES: PALEONTOLOGICAL AND PALEOECOLOGICAL IMPLICATIONS OF ZYGANTRAL GROWTH RINGS IN SERPENTES

Fingerprinting snakes: paleontological and paleoecological implications of zygantral growth rings in Serpentes

We introduce a new non-destructive source of skeletochronological data with applications to species identification, associating disarticulated remains, assessing minimum number of individuals (MNI), and collection management of fossil snakes, but with potential implications for all bony vertebrates, extinct or extant.Study of a diverse sample of Re

An In-Situ On-Board Offline Diagnostic Method of IGBT Modules for Bond Wire Degradation Within High-Power 3L-NPC Converters

Performing in-situ diagnosis is a crucial task during routine inspections of high-power converter systems, such as mine hoist.This paper presents an Body Powders on-board offline condition assessment method for bond wire degradation of high-power IGBT modules within three-level neutral-point clamped (3L-NPC) converter.This method is based on the in

Barotropic background currents in the Gulf of California

A field of barotropic background currents (BC) in the Gulf of California is constructed numerically.The definition of BC used here is based on suppositions about (i) the horizontal homogenization of potential vorticity in large-scale gyres, and (ii) the tendency of a current structure to evolve to a state with a minimum of system mechanical energy.
