Ultra‐Wideline 2D Correlations Among Low‐γ Species in Solid‐State NMR via the Progressive Saturation of a Common Proton Reservoir

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
This study introduces PROSPECT, a 2D solid‐state NMR method that correlates MHz‐wide, low‐γ anisotropic powder patterns. PROSPECT operates by progressively depleting a shared 1H dipolar‐order reservoir via two independently stepped cross‐polarizing offsets, yielding homonuclear and heteronuclear correlations without requiring direct transfers or even ...

Raptor Swoops in on Metabolism [PDF]

Cell Metabolism, 2008
The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) serine/threonine kinase plays a central role in insulin signaling and cell growth, through two distinct complexes with its subunits raptor or rictor. In this issue, two reports utilizing tissue-specific knockout mice detail key roles for mTORC1 in skeletal muscle and adipose tissue function.

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 ...

Superpredation patterns in four large European raptors

, 2011
Predatory interactions among top predators, like superpredation or intraguild predation (IGP), can influence community structure. Diurnal raptors occupy high trophic levels in terrestrial food webs, and thus can regulate the presence of mesopredators. We

Stable Carbon and Nitrogen Isotope Analysis Explores Diverse Domestic Goose Management Practices in Medieval and Postmedieval Russia

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Studying goose domestication through archaeological finds has been challenging due to the similar skeletal morphology of the European domestic goose and its wild progenitor, the greylag goose (Anser anser). We analyzed stable carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) isotopes from bone collagen of subfossil domestic and potentially domestic geese to ...

Neo‐Taphonomic Analysis of Prey Bone Remains Accumulated by Golden Eagle (Aquila chrysaetos): A Case of Nests in Southern France

International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) nests in rock cavities where it accumulates prey bone remains during the breeding season. Because nests can be reoccupied from year to year, these faunal elements can form remarkable bone accumulations and, in the sub‐fossil record, be mixed with assemblages derived from human or other predator activities ...

Detecting West Nile Virus in Owls and Raptors by an Antigen-capture Assay

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2004
We evaluated a rapid antigen-capture assay (VecTest) for detection of West Nile virus in oropharyngeal and cloacal swabs, collected at necropsy from owls (N = 93) and raptors (N = 27). Sensitivity was 93.5%–95.2% for northern owl species but

Electrocution of raptors at power lines in Central Kazakhstan

, 2013
Along three transects of medium voltage power lines in the steppe of Central Kazakhstan, surveys for bird casualties were carried out in summer 2006 in order to estimate the quantitative and qualitative impact of power lines on bird mortality in this ...
