On the Regional Variability of dB/dt and Its Significance to GIC by A. P. Dimmock, L. Rosenqvist, D. T. Welling, A. Viljanen, I. Honkonen, R. J. Boynton, E. Yordanova

“…Key results from this study are as follows: (1) Regional geomagnetic disturbances are important in modeling GIC during strong storms; (2) dB/dt can vary by several times up to a factor of three compared to the spatial average; (3) dB/dt and its regional variation is coupled to the energy deposited into the magnetosphere; and (4) regional variability can be more accurately captured and predicted from a local index as opposed to a global one. …”

Elliptical Fourier analysis of molar outlines in Late Pliocene Parapapio whitei from Makapansgat Limeworks, South Africa by Alexander C. Kim, Frank L’Engle Williams

“…Methods and Materials: The fossil crania from Makapangsat Members 3–4, MP 221 and MP 223, both referred to Parapapio whitei, are compared to three extant cercopithecoid taxa including Cercocebus agilis (n=8), Colobus angolensis (n=8) and Papio anubis (n=8). Molar shape is captured using elliptical Fourier analysis of occlusal outlines and molar size dimensions are estimated from measuring software. …”
