Fecal Microbiota Transplantation: Expanding Horizons for Clostridium difficile Infections and Beyond
Antibiotics, 2015 Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT) methodology has been progressively refined over the past several years. The procedure has an extensive track record of success curing Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) with remarkably few adverse effects.

Prerequisites for a computational approach to Minoan chronology
Archaeometry, EarlyView.Abstract The paper examines the development, adoption, and limitations of the relative chronology system for Minoan pottery, initially established by Sir Arthur Evans and Duncan Mackenzie during the excavation of Knossos (1900–1906). Despite its weaknesses, this system remained largely unchanged due to its convenience rather than its accuracy.

Why are the K dwarfs in the Pleiades so Blue? [PDF]
Astron.J. 126 (2003) 833, 2003 The K dwarfs in the Pleiades fall nearly one half magnitude below a main sequence isochrone when plotted in a color-magnitude diagram utilizing V magnitude as the luminosity index and B-V as the color index. This peculiarity has been known for forty years but has gone unexplained and mostly ignored.

Riding the monsoon: Geography and Iron Age trade in the Indian Ocean
The Economic History Review, EarlyView.Abstract This paper exploits ancient textual sources to develop a database of ancient trade in the Indian Ocean and model trade in the region during the Iron Age. Wind‐speed data are used to construct a gravity model of trade and are combined with detailed textual data from the Periplus of the Erythraean Sea to analyse historical development trends in ...

The advantages of using drones over space-borne imagery in the mapping of mangrove forests. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Satellite data and aerial photos have proved to be useful in efficient conservation and management of mangrove ecosystems. However, there have been only very few attempts to demonstrate the ability of drone images, and none so far to observe vegetation ...

The Pleiades mass function: models versus observations [PDF]
Astron.Astrophys. 426 (2004) 75-80, 2004 Two stellar-dynamical models of binary-rich embedded proto-Orion-Nebula-type clusters that evolve to Pleiades-like clusters are studied with an emphasis on comparing the stellar mass function with observational constraints. By the age of the Pleiades (about 100 Myr) both models show a similar degree of mass segregation which also agrees with ...

European Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.Abstract Proust wrote vividly about grief, but he has not been recognised or studied as a philosopher of grief. It is time that he was. For a powerful and compelling philosophy of grief emerges from the pages of his magnum opus. Though philosophical work on Proust has not turned to this theory of grief, philosophers writing about grief have often drawn

Angular Momentum Evolution of Stars in the Orion Nebula Cluster [PDF]
, 2001 (Abridged) We present theoretical models of stellar angular momentum evolution from the Orion Nebula Cluster (ONC) to the Pleiades and the Hyades. We demonstrate that observations of the Pleiades and Hyades place tight constraints on the angular momentum loss rate from stellar winds.

A revised moving cluster distance to the Pleiades open cluster [PDF]
A&A 598, A48 (2017), 2016 Aims: We provide a new distance estimate for the Pleiades based on the moving cluster method, which will be useful to further discuss the so-called Pleiades distance controversy and compare it with the very precise parallaxes from the Gaia space mission.

What Was Homer Honing in the Odyssey?
Perspectives of Earth and Space Scientists, Volume 6, Issue 1, December 2025.Abstract We summarize the data provided in Homer's the Odyssey concerning Odysseus' journey and suggest a completely new view of what was Homer trying to convey to us. We suggest that Homer was honing the idea of synergy between rules (determinism) and chance (randomness), an idea deeply rooted in natural processes as well in mathematics.
