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…

Long, continuous, marine sediment records from the subpolar North Atlantic document the glacial modulation of regional climate instability throughout the past 0.5 million years. Whenever ice sheet size surpasses a critical threshold indicated by the…

We present measurements of the stable carbon isotope ratio in air extracted from Antarctic ice core and firn samples. The same samples were previously used by Etheridge and co-workers to construct a high precision 1000-year record of atmospheric CO2…

Pleistocene and Holocene vegetation dynamics in the American tropics are inferred largely from pollen in continental lake sediments. Maritime influences may have moderated climate and vegetation changes on Caribbean islands. Stable isotope…

The Natufians of the southern Levant (15,00011,500 cal BP) underwent pronounced socioeconomic changes associated with the onset of sedentism and the shift from a foraging to farming lifestyle. Excavations at the 12,000-year-old Natufian cave site,…

ALTHOUGH the Tibetan plateau is important in influencing the atmospheric circulation of the Northern Hemisphere 1-3, there are only a few continuous palaeoclimate records available, and these are limited to the plateau's northeastern margin 4-6.…

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…

A 14 500 calendar year record of mercury accumulation rates has been obtained from an ombrotrophic peat bog in the Swiss Jura mountains. The range of natural (pre-industrial) mercury accumulation rates varied from 0.3 to 8.0 mug m(-2) yr(-1). During…

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,…

High-resolution geochemical analyses obtained using an X-ray fluorescence (XRF) Core Scanner, as well as mineralogical data from the Lago Chungara sedimentary sequence in the northern Andean Chilean Altiplano (181S), provided a detailed…

Stable isotope records for carbon and oxygen in bulk carbonates, carbon in bulk organic matter, and for total and chromium-reducible sulfur in a lacustrine sediment core from Lake Steisslingen (Southwest Germany) show several distinct and abrupt…

The origin of Aboriginal Australians has been a central question of palaeoanthropology since its inception during the 19th Century. Moreover, the idea that Australians could trace their ancestry to a non-modern Pleistocene population such as Homo…

Aeolian deposits in the Wahiba Sands, Sultanate of Oman, reveal patterns of atmospheric circulation over the past 160,000 years. Luminescence dating indicates a correlation of dune activity with periods of low global sea level and decreased monsoon…

Coral reefs drilled offshore of Barbados provide the first continuous and detailed record of sea level change during the last deglaciation. The sea level was 121 5 metres below present level during the last glacial maximum. The deglacial sea level…

Marine deposits at +20 3 m on the tectonically stable coastlines of Bermuda and the Bahamas support the hypothesis of a partial collapse of the Antarctic ice sheet during the middle Pleistocene. Beach sediments fill a sea cave at +22 m in Bermuda,…

Lake sediments and pollen, spores and algae from the high-elevation endorheic Laguna Miscanti (22 degrees 45'S, 67 degrees 45'W, 4140 m a.s.l., 13.5 km(2) water surface, 10 m deep) in the Atacama Desert of northern Chile provide information about…

Pollen analysis of a core from Ishiba Ngandu in Zambia reveals only one significant change in the pollen assemblage laid down over a period of 22,000 yr. About 3,000 B. P. a number of taxa characteristic of moist to dry evergreen forest at low,…
