متن کاملVariations in Ice Rafted Detritus on Beaches in the South Shetland Islands: A Possible Climate Proxy
Raised beach ridges on Livingston Island of the South Shetland Islands display variations in both quantity and source of ice rafted detritus (IRD) received over time. Whereas the modern beach exhibits little IRD, all of which is of local origin, the next highest beach (~250 14C yr BP) has large amounts, some of which comes from as far away as the Antarctic Peninsula. Significant quantities of I...
متن کاملEditorial: Hydrothermal microbial ecosystems
The papers in the " Hydrothermal Vent " research topic cover a range of microbiological research in deep and shallow hydrothermal environments, from high temperature " black smokers, " to diffuse flow habitats and episodically discharging subsurface fluids, to the hydrothermal plumes. Together they provide a snapshot of current research interests in a field that has evolved rapidly since the di...
متن کاملMultiple sclerosis in the Orkney and Shetland Islands. II: The search for an exogenous aetiology.
In Orkney and Shetland, a survey of lifetime events was undertaken in multiple sclerosis patients and two control groups to define shared exposure to an exogenous agent or environmental insult. Analyses of demographic factors, diet, social class and occupation, housing and environment, animal exposure, schooling, travel, infectious disease, and medical history disclosed a remarkable similarity ...
متن کاملMultiple sclerosis in the Orkney and Shetland Islands. III: Histocompatibility determinants.
Histocompatibility testing was performed in 48 multiple sclerosis patients and two carefully matched control groups in Orkney Islands, an area of high multiple sclerosis prevalence. The frequency of HLA-A3, HLA-B7, and DW2 was comparable in patients and controls. However, HLA-B7 was significantly more common in female patients compared with male patients. A B-cell alloantigen (B-cell 4) was als...
