The Bronze Age city of Qatna, located in modern Syria, is represented by an impressive 1 kilometre square tell bounded by ramparts that rise to a height of ca. 10 to 15 m. During recent excavations involving a consortium of German, Italian and Syrian archaeologists a major discovery was made by the German team of a subterranean tomb rock cut into a...

... responses of societies and ecosystems to global climate change. Within a multidisciplinary project aiming at documenting these interactions during the Holocene in the French Alps, we have examined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry the lipid content of a sedimentary series covering the last 6 ka, drilled in Lake le Bourget (core LDB04, Fig. ...

... (Fig. 1B), a pentacyclic triterpene methyl ether (PTME) originating from gramineae ( Jacob et al., 2005), was found in significant amounts in some levels, whereas no other PTME was detected. Due to the resistance of PTME to diagenesis (Jacob et al., 2005), miliacin was most probably the only PTME produced in the ...
Context 3
... list of gramineae reputed to exclusively synthesize miliacin as a PTME was confronted to an archaeobotanical survey realised on the Grésine site (Fig. 1A), dated back to the Bronze Age. This inventory gave a comprehensive panorama of the vegetation assemblage in the region for this period (Bouby and Billaud, 2001). Since Panicum miliaceum (common millet) is the only miliacin-exclusive producer reported, we conclude that miliacin attests to its presence in the catchment. This is further ...
Context 4
... comparison of miliacin relative abundances with local hydrology (Fig. 1C and D) emphasizes the interactions between climate and agriculture. For example, the lower values of miliacin relative abundances during the La Tène period are related to the hydrological crisis that forced the abandonment of lake-dwelling habitats (Magny, 2004). The final decrease and disappearance of miliacin in more recent samples can be ...

Non-invasive navigation techniques have recently been developed to determine mechanical femorotibial alignment (MFTA) in extension. The primary aim of this study was to evaluate the precision and accuracy of an image-free navigation system with new software designed to provide multiple kinematic measurements of the knee. The secondary aim...
Introduction: The common carotid artery is an important artery of blood supply to head, neck and brain
located in the carotid triangle. It is also the most important artery responsible for brain stroke. In this
study we observed the branching level of common carotid artery and also whether it is bifurcation or
trifurcation. Method: In the embalmed...
Introduction: Saphenous nerve is the longest and largest pure sensory nerve, supplying the medial side of the
thigh, leg and foot. Materials and Methods: In the present case study, during routine cadaveric dissection of
the antero-medial part of the thigh, an interesting anomalous pattern of saphenous nerve was seen in the right
lower limb of a 62...
Implant positioning is one of the critical factors that influences postoperative outcome of total hip arthroplasty (THA). Malpositioning of the implant may lead to an increased risk of postoperative complications such as prosthetic impingement, dislocation, restricted range of motion, polyethylene wear, and loosening. In 2012, the intraoperative us...
Among the collections belonging to the National Museum of Lithuania at Vilnius, resides an ancient Egyptian coffin containing a mummified human body. The coffin and its occupant are believed to have belonged to the King of Poland and to have been located in his palace at Warsaw. At the turn of the last century, Egyptologists dated the coffin to the...
