Crustal deformation and seismicity in the Levant region are mainly related to plate-boundary Dead Sea Fault (DSF) intraplate Carmel−Gilboa−Faria System (CGFS). The intersection between these two major fault systems is generally treated as a ∼35-km-wide belt stretched Faria Gilboa Faults. Here, we present spatial temporal analysis of faulting near this intersection. Our based on new geological m...

In 2006/7, 18 cases of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) were reported for the first time from Sde Eliyahu (pop. 650), a village in the Beit She'an valley of Israel. Between 2007-2011, a further 88 CL cases were diagnosed bringing the total to 106 (16.3% of the population of Sde Eliyahu). The majority of cases resided in the south-western part of the village along the perimeter fence. The causative ...

Quantitative methods and the use of technology in paleography and book history are by no means new. The New Palaeographical Society took advantage of the latest printing techniques to produce its albums of facsimiles in the late nineteenth century (Thompson et al., 1903–1930); Jean Mallon began using film in the 1930s to illustrate the development of script (Poulle, 1977); Gilissen (1973) was a...

OBJECTIVE To examine the characteristics of infants suffering from failure to thrive in a community based cohort in Israel and to ascertain the effect of failure to thrive on their cognitive development. METHODS By review of records maintained at maternal and child health clinics in Jerusalem and the two of Beit Shemesh, epidemiological data were obtained at age 15 months on a cohort of all b...

However polemic its intent, and not without a certain irony, the Hebrew Bible testifies eloquently to the manufacture and use of cultic images of wood, stone, and precious metal in ancient Israel. Biblical history documents the existence and tenacity of this phenomenon beginning in the days of the judges-in the tale of Micah and his house shrine complete with metal image, ephod, and teraphim Ou...

When insulin is oxidized with performic acid, the -S-Sbridges of the cystine residues are broken by conversion to -SO3H groups (Sanger, 1949 a) and the molecule is split into its separate polypeptide chains. From the oxidized insulin two fractions could be isolated: an acidic fraction A, which contained only glycyl N-terminal residues (see below) and no basic amino-acids, and a basic fraction B...

M uch of the storied history of insulin has revolved around attempts to make its administration easier for patients who have to inject it to survive. The search for alternative routes of administration began almost immediately after its discovery—insulin was administered by inhalation, with modest effectiveness , and then within several years of its first administration by subcutaneous injectio...
