Landscape, climate, and culture can all structure human populations, but few existing methods are designed to simultaneously disentangle among a large number of variables in explaining genetic patterns. We developed a machine learning method for identifying the variables which best explain migration rates, as measured by the coalescent-based progra...
Magnesia densification is essential for Mg-based refractories and materials to attain better thermal per-formance and longer service life. Few industrial-scale processes can produce magnesia with the required bulk density of above 3.40 g/cm3 (or relative density of over 95 %) from natural magnesites. The inability to achieve the desired densificati...

Trees sustain livelihoods and mitigate climate change but a predominance of trees outside forests and limited resources make it difficult for many tropical countries to conduct automated nation-wide inventories. Here, we propose an approach to map the carbon stock of each individual overstory tree at the national scale of Rwanda using aerial imager...

Monolithic Active Pixel Sensors (MAPS) represent one of the most promising technologies for the next generation of radiation detectors. The ARCADIA project aims at the development of Fully Depleted (FD) MAPS employing a production process compatible with a 110 nm commercial CMOS technology. The first engineering run of the project included matrices...

In this study, we investigated the association of ACAN variants with otosclerosis, a frequent cause of hearing loss among young adults. We sequenced the coding, 5'-UTR and 3'-UTR regions of ACAN in 1497 unrelated otosclerosis cases and 1437 matched controls from six different subpopulations. The association between variants in ACAN and the disease ...
Metastarševstvo je razmeroma nov, večdimenzionalen konstrukt, ki pod skupen pojem združuje namerne misli starša o svojem otroku in vzgoji. Gre za zavesti dostopne misli, ki jih posameznik lahko obvladuje in prilagaja, zato metastarševstvo predstavlja pomembno miselno orodje starša, s katerim lahko uspešnejše uravnava svoje vedenje in ga prilagaja n...
State-of-the-art mobile pedestrian navigation systems often employ GPS or other positioning methods for continuous tracking of users, and thus provide them with in-situ turn-by-turn route guidance along a desired route. However, studies have shown that user experience and acquisition of spatial knowledge decrease due to the "blind" following of suc...

Fully depleted monolithic active pixel sensors (FD-MAPSs) represent a state-of-the-art detector technology and profit from a low material budget and cost for high-energy physics experiments and other fields of research like medical imaging and astro-particle physics. Compared to the MAPS currently in use, fully depleted pixel sensors have the advan...
