A biogenic-silica O record of climatic change during the last glacial–interglacial transition in southwestern Alaska
Despite growing evidence for environmental oscillations during the last glacial–interglacial transition from high latitude, terrestrial sites of the North Pacific rim, oxygen-isotopic records of these oscillations remain sparse. The lack of data is due partially to the paucity of lakes that contain carbonate sediment suitable for oxygen-isotopic analysis. We report here the first record of oxyg...
متن کاملInfluence of peat formation conditions on the transformation of peat deposit organic matter
The paper studies the individual composition of n-alkanes, polycycloaromatic hydrocarbons, steroids, bi-, tri-, and pentacyclic terpenoids of two peat deposits of rich fen Kirek located in Western Siberia. Considering the individual n-alkanes concentrations, some indexes were calculated to estimate the humidity during peat formation. It was shown that the pH of peat medium primarily affects ste...
متن کاملMethicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Carriage and Risk Factors for Skin Infections, Southwestern Alaska, USA
Community-acquired methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) infections are common in southwestern Alaska. Outbreak strains have been shown to carry the genes for Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL). To determine if carriage of PVL-positive CA-MRSA increased the risk for subsequent soft tissue infection, we conducted a retrospective cohort study by reviewing the medical records of 316...
متن کاملRadiocarbon Dates from a Holocene Deposit in Southwestern Australia
A radiocarbon chronology has been developed using shell, bulk peat, and paired charcoal and pollen preparations from a peat and clay sequence in southwestern Australia. The results indicate the sequence is of Holocene age, and the mid-Holocene was a period of rapid sediment deposition. The earliest record is based on Bothriembyron sp. snail shell and there is a strong indication that the deposi...
متن کاملVancomycin-Resistant Enterococci, Point Barrow, Alaska, USA
To the Editor: An increasing number of bacterial infections are now diffi cult or impossible to treat (1) because of the misuse of antimicro-bial drugs and the epidemic spread of bacterial resistance to these drugs (2). The most alarming reports are of me-thicillin-resistant Staphylococcus au-reus, extended-spectrum β-lactamase producers, and vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE). Although kno...
