A fluvial sequence near Cave Stream (north of Castle Hill Village, central Canterbury), New Zealand, contains organically-preserved plant macrofossils (cuticles). The almost ubiquitous presence of Araucariaceae macrofossils in the lower part of the section and their stratigraphic disappearance roughly coincident with the appearance of the angiosperm leaf Dryandra comptoniaefolia and conifer taxa o
The high-molecular-mass salivary mucin MG1, one of two major mucins produced by human salivary glands, plays an important role in oral health by coating the tooth surface and by acting as a bacterial receptor. Here this mucin was purified from the submandibular/sublingual saliva of a blood group O individual. The presence of MUC5B as the major mucin in this preparation was confirmed by amino acid
The radial transport, or drift, of dust has taken a critical role in giant planet formation theory. However, it has been challenging to identify dust drift pileups in the hard-to-observe inner disk. We find that the IM Lup disk shows evidence that it has been shaped by an episode of dust drift. Using radiative transfer and dust dynamical modeling we study the radial and vertical dust distribution.
The transient electromagnetic (TEM) method is widely used in resistivity mapping but rarely applied in monitoring experiments. In this study, we present an algorithm to invert time-lapse TEM data, with inversion of both synthetic data and field data. Three main novelties distinguish this new inversion algorithm: i) a multiple-mesh approach is used for the definition of model parameters and forward
This paper presents the cultural and archaeological context of the human fossil bones from Muierii Cave, dated by us to the age of 30 150 ± 800 14C years BP (Before Present) or 34 810 ± 927 cal years BP (calibrated years Before Present), and from Cioclovina Cave, dated to the age of 29 000 ± 700 14C years BP or 33 540 ± 832 cal years BP, in the Southern Carpathians. These are among the most ancien
Abstract in French:Cet article contribue à la recherche sur la géopolitique urbaine par une théorisation « extrospective » du pouvoir local sur la scène internationale – c’est-à-dire une orientation du développement socio-économique qui encourage tant la concurrence que la coopération entre les entités métropolitaines au-delà des frontières de l’État-nation. Empiriquement, l’article se concentre sThis article contributes to research on urban geopolitics through an extrospective theorization of local territorial influence on the international stage. Empirically, the article focuses on a comparative study of extrospective development initiatives from Malaga (Spain) and Mazara del Vallo (Sicily) that have recently emerged in response to the effects of the Great Recession. We examine the symbo
