Comment on ‘‘coastal Caves in Bahamian Eolian Calcarenites: Differentiating between Sea Caves and Flank Margin Caves Using Quantitative Morphology’’

Waterstrat et al. (JCKS (2010), 72 (2) 61–74) compared means of geometric measurements of sea and flank margin caves with the Student t-test and concluded that these different types of caves could be ‘‘statistically differentiated.’’ However, their use of the t-test is dependent on the data being normally distributed. The data that were analyzed, cave area to perimeter ratio, entrance-width to ...

Session title: CAVES IN CONTEXT: THE ECONOMICAL, SOCIAL, AND RITUAL IMPORTANCE OF CAVES AND ROCKSHELTERS

Caves and rockshelters are found all over the world, and they have been frequently occupied throughout prehistory and early history. In many areas of Europe, some of these natural places are still used as sites of worship and as shelter against the elements. There is great variability in their use. Some appear to only have traces of short occupations, while others have thick cultural deposits, ...

Pharmaceutical Advances and Proteomics Researches

Proteomics enables understanding the composition, structure, function and interactions of the entire protein complement of a cell, a tissue, or an organism under exactly defined conditions. Some factors such as stress or drug effects will change the protein pattern and cause the present or absence of a protein or gradual variation in abundances. Changes in the proteome provide a snapshot of the...

Hypogenic Caves in the UK

The UK has a wide variety of hypogenic caves, including transverse maze caves, relict hydrothermal caves, gypsum mazes and hypogenic karst associated with water rising up deep thrust faults. While few of these are particularly extensive, they offer insights into the mechanisms of speleogenesis and mineralisation. The best developed hypogenic caves in the UK are in the Carboniferous limestones o...
