Thirty-four elements of an early modern human (EMH) were found in Tianyuan Cave, Zhoukoudian, China in 2003. Dated to 42,000-39,000 calendrical years before present by using direct accelerator mass spectrometry radiocarbon, the Tianyuan 1 skeleton is among the oldest directly dated EMHs in eastern Eurasia. Morphological comparison shows Tianyuan 1 to have a series of derived modern human charac...

In this paper we present, for any integer d, a description of the set of hooks in a d-symbol. We then introduce generalized hook length functions for a d-symbol, and prove a general result about them, involving the core and quotient of the symbol. We list some applications, for example to the well-known hook lengths in integer partitions. This leads in particular to a generalization of a relati...

We consider the partial order on partitions of integers deened by removal of rim hooks of a given length. The isomorphism between this poset and a product of Young's lattices leads to rim hook versions of Schensted correspondences. Analogous results are given for shifted shapes. A shape, or Young diagram, is a nite order ideal of the lattice P 2 = f(k; l) : k; l 1g. Each shape = f(i; j) : 1 j i...

The effects of circle hooks on blue shark Prionace glauca catch in a pelagic longline fishery were assessed in fishing experiments on two research essels in the western North Pacific off the coast of Japan from May to September 2005. We used conventional tuna hooks (standard Japanese ook size; 3.8 sun) and two sizes of circle hooks (4.3 sun and 5.2 sun) for each fishing operation and compared c...

Along history of the long hook: the first paper regarding hook length control in the flagellum appeared about 40 years ago. Silverman and Simon (1972) found that a flaE (the previous name of fliK in Escherichia coli) mutant produced extraordinarily long hooks, which they named polyhooks, and concluded that the flaE gene “functions to control the length of the hook” (22). Around the same time, P...

Caudal epididymal spermatozoa of golden hamsters were incubated in capacitation medium. Their movement patterns changed as they became hyperactivated and underwent the acrosome reaction. To understand the basic mechanism by which changes in movement pattern are brought about, digital image analysis was carried out on the flagellar movements recorded with a video system. The degree of flagellar ...

Clotting blood contains fibrin-bound thrombin, which is a major source of procoagulant activity leading to clot extension and further activation of coagulation. When bound to fibrin, thrombin is protected from inhibition by antithrombin (AT) + heparin but is neutralized when AT and heparin are covalently linked (ATH). Here, we report the surprising observation that, rather than yielding an iner...
