Dietary specializations and diversity in feeding ecology of the earliest stem mammals

The origin and radiation of mammals are key events in the history of life, with fossils placing the origin at 220 million years ago, in the Late Triassic period. The earliest ma...

Chemisorption bonding, site preference, and chain formation at the K/Si(001)<i>2×1</i>interface

A variety of possible chemisorption models has been investigated for the K/Si(001)2×1 interface by use of the local-density formalism and the discrete variational method to carr...
