Museums and Archaeology brings together a wide, but carefully chosen, selection of literature from around the world that connects museums and archaeology. Part of the successful Leicester Readers in Museum Studies series, it provides a combination of... Read More about Museums and Archaeology.

Mitogenome Diversity in Sardinians: A Genetic Window onto an Island's Past (2017)
Journal Article
Olivieri, A., Sidore, C., Achilli, A., Angius, A., Posth, C., Furtwängler, A., …Torroni, A. (2017). Mitogenome Diversity in Sardinians: A Genetic Window onto an Island's Past. Molecular Biology and Evolution, 34(5), 1230-1239. https://doi.org/10.1093/molbev/msx082

Sardinians are “outliers” in the European genetic landscape and, according to paleogenomic nuclear data, the closest to early European Neolithic farmers. To learn more about their genetic ancestry, we analyzed 3,491 modern and 21 ancient mitogenomes... Read More about Mitogenome Diversity in Sardinians: A Genetic Window onto an Island's Past.

Advancing Age Decreases Pressure-Sensitive Modulation of Calcium Signaling in the Endothelium of Intact and Pressurized Arteries (2017)
Journal Article
Wilson, C., Saunter, C. D., Girkin, J. M., & McCarron, J. G. (2017). Advancing Age Decreases Pressure-Sensitive Modulation of Calcium Signaling in the Endothelium of Intact and Pressurized Arteries. Journal of Vascular Research, 53(5-6), 358-369. https://doi.org/10.1159/000454811

Aging is the summation of many subtle changes which result in altered cardiovascular function. Impaired endothelial function underlies several of these changes and precipitates plaque development in larger arteries. The endothelium transduces chemica...

Soundscapes of Temple Period Malta (2017)
Journal Article
Skeates, R. (2017). Soundscapes of Temple Period Malta. Time and Mind: The Journal of Archaeology, Consciousness and Culture, 10(1), 61-67. https://doi.org/10.1080/1751696x.2016.1267920

During the later prehistoric Temple Period (c. 3400–2500 bc) we can begin to discriminate some of the diverse sounds and soundscapes that characterized the Maltese Islands. For example, we can imagine the sounds of the early farming communities, part... Read More about Soundscapes of Temple Period Malta.

Estradiol-related variations in top-down and bottom-up processes of cerebral lateralization (2017)
Journal Article
Hodgetts, S., Weis, S., & Hausmann, M. (2017). Estradiol-related variations in top-down and bottom-up processes of cerebral lateralization. Neuropsychology, 31(3), 319-327. https://doi.org/10.1037/neu0000338

Objective: Natural fluctuations of sex hormones have been shown to modulate cerebral lateralization in dichotic listening tasks. Two recent studies presented contradictory notions regarding the mechanism of this effect. Specifically, whereas Hjelmerv...

Numerical Inversion of SRNF Maps for Elastic Shape Analysis of Genus-Zero Surfaces (2017)
Journal Article
Laga, H., Xie, Q., Jermyn, I. H., & Srivastava, A. (2017). Numerical Inversion of SRNF Maps for Elastic Shape Analysis of Genus-Zero Surfaces. IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence, 39(12), 2451-2464. https://doi.org/10.1109/tpami.2016.2647596

Recent developments in elastic shape analysis (ESA) are motivated by the fact that it provides a comprehensive framework for simultaneous registration, deformation, and comparison of shapes. These methods achieve computational efficiency using certai... Read More about Numerical Inversion of SRNF Maps for Elastic Shape Analysis of Genus-Zero Surfaces.

Performing curiosity: re-viewing women’s domestic embroidery in seventeenth-century England (2017)
Journal Article
Brooks, M. M. (2017). Performing curiosity: re-viewing women’s domestic embroidery in seventeenth-century England. The Seventeenth Century, 32(1), 1-29. https://doi.org/10.1080/0268117x.2016.1244487

For many in seventeenth-century England, curiosity became an intellectual and physical means of exploring natural and artificial wonders and categorising tangible and intangible things. For well-off Englishwomen, “curious work” had a more specific me... Read More about Performing curiosity: re-viewing women’s domestic embroidery in seventeenth-century England.
