A Multi‐Analytical Approach for the Compositional Characterization and Chronological Discrimination of Benin (Nigeria) Metal Sculptures

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study presents a multi‐analytical archaeometric approach for the compositional characterization and chronological discrimination of Benin metal sculptures in relation to the 1897 Punitive Expedition. The methodology integrates elemental composition (XRF and ICP), stable lead isotope ratios (MC‐ICP‐MS) for alloy system characterization ...

Investigating the Dietary, Economic, and Social Practices of a Neolithic Funnel Beaker Community in Wanna, Germany, Through Raw Material and Organic Residue Analyses of Pottery

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study details the analysis of an assemblage of Funnel Beaker pottery from Wanna in Northern Germany investigated using petrographic, geochemical, and organic residue analyses. The analyses revealed specialized production of pottery vessels for funerary contexts, but that domestic and funerary pottery were used intensively to process ...

Late Iron Age and Early Roman Brooches From the Lower Rhine Area: Provenance of the Metal Supply Traced Through Lead Isotopes

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Geochemical analysis of five brooch types from the Lower Rhine area dated to the last century bc and first century ad is used to constrain resource use, exchange and mobility. Lead isotope ratios demonstrate an Iberian provenance for copper in bronze Late Iron Age brooches.

Nanoparticles in Periodontology and Implant Dentistry: From Mechanisms to Clinical Applications

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Nanotechnology holds significant promise in improving dental care, yet there is a need for more reliable clinical studies to validate its effectiveness and safety. ABSTRACT Recent advances in nanotechnology are reshaping the landscape of periodontology and implant dentistry, particularly through the application of nanoparticles (NPs).

Diurnal Variations in Photochemical Energy Utilization and Osmotic Adjustments in Black Poplar Leaves Under Progressive Water Stress

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Drought limits the productivity of fast‐growing woody crops, although the metabolic adjustments conferring water stress tolerance remain poorly understood. We investigated the responses of Populus nigra seedlings to water stress by integrating daily physiological measurements and NMR metabolomic analyses.

Beyond sourcing: portable X-ray fluorescence and archaeological ceramics

, 2013
Handheld portable X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) technology has been increasingly employed in ceramic provenance studies. While these applications have been largely successful, the utility of this technology for ceramic analysis has nonetheless been called into question.

Overexpression of Rubisco Activase Improves Photosynthesis and Plant Growth in Rice Under Fluctuating Light Under Future High CO2 Conditions

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rubisco activase mediates the activation of Rubisco, the key photosynthetic CO2‐fixing enzyme, and plays a crucial role in regulating photosynthesis and plant growth. Rubisco activase restores catalytic competence to Rubisco active sites by promoting the release of inhibitors in an ATP‐dependent manner.

Understanding exosomes in facial esthetics and skin aging

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Skin aging is a multifactorial process mediated by intrinsic (genetic and metabolic) and extrinsic (environmental) factors leading to functional and structural deterioration, including wrinkles, loss of collagen and elastin, as well as various pigmentation disorders.
