We tested the hypothesis that single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within genes of the NF-κB pathway are associated with altered clinical outcome of septic shock patients. We genotyped 59 SNPs in the NF-κB pathway in a discovery cohort of septic…

The Indian Ocean tsunami of 26 December 2004 reached maximum wave heights of 35 m in Aceh, the northernmost province of Sumatra1, 2. Both the tsunami and the associated Sumatra-Andaman earthquake were unprecedented in Acehnese history3, 4. Here we…

The faunal (all fossil groups) species diversity curve for the Ordovician of Norway shows a strong and statistically significant cycle with a period of 12 to 14 million years. The cycle is supported by spectral analysis, autocorrelation and wavelet…

A 12.5 m long core was retrieved from the continental margin off Dronning Maud Land, Antarctica. Magnetostratigraphy, stable isotopes, C-14 accelerator mass spectrometer and amino acid analyses indicate a continuous sediment record going back 1.3…

This paper combines the data sets available today for 14C-age calibration of the last 60 ka. By stepwise synchronization of paleoclimate signatures, each of these sets of 14C-ages is compared with the U/Th-dated Chinese Hulu Cave speleothem records,…

A new packrat midden chronology from Playas Valley, southwestern New Mexico, is the first installment of an ongoing effort to reconstruct paleovegetation and paleoclimate in the U.S.A.-Mexico Borderlands. Playas Valley and neighboring basins…

The manifestation of major climatic events such as the timing of deglaciation and whether, or not, the Younger Dryas affected Andean systems has garnered considerable recent attention. Even the Holocene is rapidly emerging as a time of considerable…

This paper introduces the background and main results of a research project aimed at unravelling the paleolimnological and paleoclimatological history of Lago Puyehue (40 degrees S, Lake District, Chile) since the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), based…

Te geologic record provides constraints on the rates, amplitudes, and mechanisms controlling globally averaged (eustatic) and relative (eustatic plus subsidence/upliſt) changes of sea level on various time scales. On geological time scales, global…

By 1892, Julius Wolff and others realized that mechanical loads can affect bone architecture in living beings, but the mechanisms responsible for this effect were unknown, and it had no known clinical applications. In 2003 we know how this effect…

In this study, we have detailed the benthic environment of a sill fjord on the Swedish west coast, which is characterized by brackish conditions, intermittent water exchanges, and periodic low oxygen. We have used three important tools-benthic…

Sedimentological studies including seismic profiles, mineralogy and organic geochemistry on two cores from the center and margin of Cac Lake, Maranha o o State, northern Brazil, revealed variable climatic and environmental conditions during the last…

Fossil rodent middens and wetland deposits from the central Atacama Desert (22 degrees to 24 degrees S) indicate increasing summer precipitation, grass cover, and groundwater levels from 16.2 to 10.5 calendar kiloyears before present(ky B.P.).…

The oceans play a major role in defining atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) levels, and although the geographical distribution of CO2 uptake and release in the modern ocean is understood, little is known about past distributions. Boron isotope studies…

A 15m loess-like palaeosol sequence located in the Tumara Valley southwest of the Verkhoyansk Mountains was investigated to reconstruct the Late Quaternary environmental history of Northeast Siberia. Total organic carbon (TOC) and total nitrogen (N)…

Ongoing monitoring programs and historical data are not sufficient to establish anthropogenic effects on the ecology of Chesapeake Bay. However, stratigraphic records preserved in the sediments can be used to reconstruct both prehistoric and…
