Network theory and switching behaviors : a user guide for analyzing electronic records databases

Gronchi, Giorgio ; Raglianti, Marco ; Giovannelli, Fabio

In: Future internet, 2021, vol. 13, no. 9, p. 12

As part of studies that employ health electronic records databases, this paper advocates the employment of graph theory for investigating drug-switching behaviors. Unlike the shared approach in this field (comparing groups that have switched with control groups), network theory can provide information about actual switching behavior patterns. After a brief and simple introduction to...

The record of Deinotheriidae from the Miocene of the Swiss Jura Mountains (Jura Canton, Switzerland)

Gagliardi, Fanny ; Maridet, Olivier ; Becker, Damien

In: bioRxiv, 2021, p. 244061

The Miocene sands of the Swiss Jura Mountains, long exploited in quarries for the construction industry, have yielded abundant fossil remains of large mammals. Among Deinotheriidae (Proboscidea), two species, Prodeinotherium bavaricum and Deinotherium giganteum, had previously been identified in the Delémont valley, but never described. A third species, Deinotherium levius, from the locality of...

The rise of angiosperms pushed conifers to decline during global cooling

Condamine, Fabien L. ; Silvestro, Daniele ; Koppelhus, Eva B. ; Antonelli, Alexandre

In: Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2020, vol. 117, no. 46, p. 28867–28875

Competition among species and entire clades can impact species diversification and extinction, which can shape macroevolutionary patterns. The fossil record shows successive biotic turnovers such that a dominant group is replaced by another. One striking example involves the decline of gymnosperms and the rapid diversification and ecological dominance of angiosperms in the Cretaceous. It is...

Liquidity analysis in the LNG market, illustrating the stakes to become a mature commodity market

Millet, Ludovic ; Piller, Robert (Dir.)

Mémoire de bachelor : Haute école de gestion de Genève, 2020 ; TDIBM 89.

With the environmental considerations being at the heart of the decade, and the energy industry being regarded as a negative contributor, more environmentally friendly ways to power generation are being studied. However, fossil energies are still a major contributor to power generation, and greener substitutes face a hard time to be commercialised at big scale. Natural gas, a fossil energy...

Dental anomaly in a middle Miocene fossil of the genus Spermophilinus (Rodentia, Sciuridae) from southern Germany

Prieto, Jérôme ; Rummel, Michael ; Peláez-Campomanes, Pablo ; Vasilyan, Davit

In: Fossil Imprint, 2020, vol. 76, no. 1, p. 174-180

The maxillary presented in this work has been excavated in the middle Miocene karst filling Petersbuch 136 (Germany, Bavaria) and shows the oldest evidence of dental anomaly in a sciurid. The aberrant morphology, probably hyperdontia or no replacement of roots of deciduous teeth, affects the area of the P3, a tooth that is generally not well documented in the Spermophilinus record.

The Eomyidae in Asia: Biogeography, diversity and dispersals

Kimura, Yuri ; Casanovas-Vilar, Isaac ; Maridet, Olivier ; Kalthoff, Daniela C. ; Mörs, Thomas ; Tomida, Yukimitsu

In: Fossil Imprint, 2020, vol. 76, no. 1, p. 181-200

In Asia, the first find of an eomyid rodent was reported almost one century after the first studies of the family Eomyidae in North America and Europe. Since then, eomyid rodents have been increasingly found in Asia particularly over the past two decades. Here, we review the Asian record of this family at the genus level. Currently, 22 species within 14 genera were reported from Asia,...
