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…

This paper describes the design of an active, integrated CMOS sensor array for fluorescence applications which enables time-gated, time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy. The 64-by-64 array is sensitive to photon densities as low as 8.8 times 106…
-
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…
-
LIn China, the abundance of historical documentary records in the form of Fang Zhi (semiofficial local gazettes) offers an extraordinary opportunity for providing a high-resolution historical dataset for the frequency of typhoon strikes. We have…

Tree-ring data from subalpine conifers in the southern Sierra Nevada were used to reconstruct temperature and precipitation back to A.D. 800. Tree growth of foxtail pine (Pinus balfouriana) and western juniper (Juniperus occidentalis ssp. australis)…

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,…
-
A key feature of anticipated 21st century droughts in Southwest North America is the concurrence of elevated temperatures and increased aridity. Instrumental records and paleoclimatic evidence for past prolonged drought in the Southwest that…

This is an account of a plan dating from the first half of the thirteenth century in a cartulary of Waltham Abbey, Essex (British Museum, Harley MS. 391). This plan has been reproduced before, but without consideration of its cartographical…

A sickle, 21 flint lunates for tipping spears and evidence of the hunted quarry gazelle bones lay together by the wall of a Natufian building. The author deduces that these objects were contained in a bag and constituted the versatile working…

This research examines how the controls of fire episode frequency in the northern Sierra Nevada have varied at different temporal scales through the Holocene. A 5.5 m long sediment core was collected from Lily Pond, a ~2.5 ha lake in the General…

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…

Two ice cores, covering 1S00 years of climatic information, from the summit (5670 meters) of the tropical Quelccaya ice cap, in the Andes of southern Peru, provide information on general environmental conditions including droughts, volcanic…

The Siwalik Sequence of northern Pakistan contains a 16-Ma record of paleosol carbonate and fossil teeth from which a record of paleovegetation can potentially be reconstructed and compared. The carbon isotopic composition of paleosol carbonate and…

OBJECTIVE: The primary objective was to conduct a detailed analysis of individual variation in psychological morbidity in the year following surgery for breast cancer. The salience of the patients' "illness perceptions" to morbidity was examined as…
