Shared foraging behaviors between hyenas and hominins in the Middle Paleolithic Levant: New evidence from Geula Cave, Israel

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While competition with large carnivores is likely to have shaped Middle Paleolithic hominins' subsistence behavior, palimpsested human and carnivore accumulations render the signal challenging to isolate. This study presents a detailed zooarchaeological and taphonomic analysis of a non‐anthropogenic faunal assemblage from a MIS 5 (~130–80 ka ...

Reclaimed Well Sites on Salt Affected Soils: Electrical Conductivity and Sodium Adsorption Ratio as Plant Community Response Indicators

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Salt affected soils are common worldwide, resulting from natural causes and anthropogenic activities. Saline and sodic soils often occur in association with oil and gas production, impacting soil properties which can impede vegetation growth and development.

Rediscovery of Strobilanthes panichanga and discovery of Strobilanthes parryorum (Acanthaceae): two endangered species from the hills of Dima Hasao, Assam, India

Nordic Journal of Botany, EarlyView.
We report on two species of Strobilanthes Blume. Strobilanthes panichanga (Nees) T.Anderson has been rediscovered in the Dima Hasao district of Assam, India, after a very long gap of 150 years, and Strobilanthes parryorum C.E.C.Fisch has been discovered for the first time in Assam, India.

Apple scar skin viroid causes dapple and scar skin apple diseases by disrupting phenylpropanoid‐mediated metabolic pathways

New Plant Protection, EarlyView.
Dapple apple and scar skin apple diseases are closely associated with suppression of anthocyanin biosynthesis and enhancement of suberin biosynthesis. Apple scar skin viroid (ASSVd) infection represses anthocyanin biosynthesis in apple callus. Abstract Apple scar skin viroid (ASSVd) causes dapple and scar skin apple diseases, posing serious threats to ...

A Review of Bioarcheological Investigations in Iron Age Cambodia

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Archeological research within Cambodia is quite extensive, with significant projects led by both Cambodian archeologists and international researchers alike. Many of these projects have uncovered human skeletal remains. This article reviews archeological human skeletal studies in Cambodia, synthesizing published and unpublished data, primarily

A Quantitative Approach to Record Skeletal Manifestations of Leprosy and Its Application to St Mary Magdalen Leprosarium, Winchester

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper presents and tests a new method for publishing and diagnosing leprosy‐related skeletal lesions while making available the leprosy‐related demographic data and pathology for St Mary Magdalen, Winchester (MMW). This method can facilitate interstudy comparisons of leprosy prevalence and severity by improving data comparability.

Foundations for technical solutions in organizing excavation of open ore pits

Записки Горного института, 2016
To study stochastic mining technical systems of opencast mines, where parallel to clearly defined values random and indefinite factors operate, probabilistic and statistical techniques are mostly used nowadays. Formally, the task of producing a design solution may, under the conditions of indeterminacy be transformed into an equivalent deterministic ...

Reconstructing Early Human Subsistence in Near Oceania: New Insights From Matenkupkum and Matenbek

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The colonization of New Ireland ~44–40,000 years ago represents the earliest evidence of human occupation in Near Oceania. Yet, the precise impacts of climatic changes on subsistence strategies during the Late Pleistocene, Last Glacial Maximum, and Holocene remain poorly understood.

The Association of Pregnancy and Scurvy in Indigenous Women and Their Children From the Late Holocene in California (USA)

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Limited evidence of nutritional deficiencies has been identified in bioarchaeological studies of Native California populations, although isotopic and ethnohistoric research provides evidence of regional, seasonal, and cultural variability in food shortages.
