Organization of residential space, site function variability, and seasonality of activities among MIS 5 Iberian Neandertals.
Whether ethnoarcheological models of hunter-gatherer mobility, landscape use, and structuration of the inhabited space are relevant to the archeology of Neandertals and the Middle Paleolithic remains controversial. The thin...
Testicular organoid generation by a novel in vitro three-layer gradient system.
A system that models the testicular microenvironment and spermatogonial stem-cell (SSC) niche in vitro has not been produced yet. Here, we developed and characterized a novel three-dimensional multilayer model, the Three-Layer...

Developing local RG
Abstract: In this paper we study various forms of RG and apply these to the BFSS model of N coincident D0-branes. Firstly, as a warm-up, we perform standard Wilsonian RG, investigating the conditions under which supersymmetry is...
Biological, Psychological, and Social Determinants of Depression
Depression is one of the leading causes of disability, and, if left unmanaged, it can increase the risk for suicide. The evidence base on the determinants of depression is fragmented, which makes the interpretation of...
Using Learner Group Profiles for Content Recommendation in Ubiquitous Environments
