The article summarizes the materials of an elite burial discovered in Tuva 2022. Grave 9 was first burial, which be explored under ground structure Chinge-Tey I mound. A chamber with a transverse ceiling and wooden floor preserved at depth more than 4 m. It not touched by robbers. clay layer founded between crushed logs. young man buried here funeral pose typical for Aldy-Bel culture. Despite t...

This proposal sets out the justification, scope and terms of reference for conducting a 16-month pilot study of (1) the dynamics of geomorphic change in English lowland alluvial systems, focusing on the Upper Thames Valley, and (2) the implication of such change for paleoenvironmental reconstruction, preservation and visibility of the archaeological record, and for aggregates exploration. The p...

A technique has been developed to measure the speed of sound in marine sediments at discrete frequencies from 0.6 to 10 kHz by transmitting pulses from acoustic projectors within the water column and measuring the angle to which they are refracted on directional receivers buried in the seabed. The receivers are vectors sensors that measure three-axis acceleration and pressure allowing acoustic ...

Bo He: Evaluation of the diagenetic role of iron as a sulfide buffer at Cape Lookout Bight, North Carolina (USA) (Under the direction of Stephen Meyers and Marc Alperin) Organic matter accumulation in marine environments is influenced by a range of factors, including primary production and the degree of subsequent biochemical degradation. Iron availability has important impacts on primary produ...

A man in his midthirties triggered an avalanche at an elevation of 2750 m (9022 ft) while ski touring and sustained complete avalanche burial for 253 minutes before being located with an avalanche transceiver device, probed, and extricated by a rescue team. The burial depth (ie, depth of the head) was 30 cm (1 ft). The victim was in a supine position with a patent airway and a clearly visible a...

Environmental tolerance of a species has been shown to correlate positively with its geographical range. On the Ordos Plateau, three Caragana species are distributed sequentially along the precipitation gradient. We hypothesized that this geographical distribution pattern is related to environmental tolerances of the three Caragana species during seed germination and seedling emergence stages. ...

Although primary production in the Antarctic Circumpolar Current is not above the world average and carbon burial rates are low, 70% of the world’s opal burial occurs in this zone and it has been suggested that blooms of large diatoms are responsible for this extraordinary situation. Here we compare export fluxes during bloom and steady-state situations near the Antarctic Polar Front in the SE ...

Transmissible spongiform encephalopathies (TSEs, prion diseases) are a class of fatal neurodegenerative diseases affecting a variety of mammalian species including humans. A misfolded form of the prion protein (PrP(TSE)) is the major, if not sole, component of the infectious agent RecentTSE outbreaks in domesticated and wild animal populations have created the need for safe and effective dispos...
