Prior studies of Mesozoic biodiversity document a Nightmare on Elm Street diversity peak for dinosaur species in the Campanian stage of the Late Cretaceous, yet have failed to provide explicit causal mechanisms.We provide evidence that a marked increase in North American dinosaur biodiversity can be attributed to dynamic orogenic episodes within th

Nano/Microscale Thermal Field Distribution: Conducting Thermal Decomposition of Pyrolytic-Type Polymer by Heated AFM Probes
In relevant investigations and applications of the heated atomic force microscope (AFM) probes, the determination of the actual thermal distribution between the probe and the materials under processing or testing is a core issue.Herein, the polyphthalaldehyde (PPA) film material and AFM imaging of the decomposition structures (pyrolytic region of P
MR-Guided Focused Ultrasound Versus Radiofrequency Capsulotomy for Treatment-Refractory Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: A Cost-Effectiveness Threshold Analysis
Meta-analytic techniques support neuroablation as a promising therapy for treatment-refractory obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).This technique appears to offer a more favorable complication rate and higher utility than deep brain stimulation.Moreover, these pooled findings suggest that bilateral radiofrequency (RF) capsulotomy has marginally gre
