Eight wooden objects were found at Ohalo II, a submerged and well-preserved site in the Sea of Galilee, Israel. The fisher-hunter-gatherers' site has been radiometrically dated to 22,500-23,500 (cal BP) with 45 assays read by four laboratories. The wooden objects were found on brush-hut floors. They include a bark plank with polish and use signs, pencil-shaped specimens with longitudinal shavin...

Procapra picticaudata Hodgson, 1846, is commonly called the Tibetan gazelle, goa (5 Tibetan), or zang yuan ling (5 Chinese) and is monotypic. It is a high-elevation specialist endemic to the Tibetan Plateau where it prefers alpine meadow and alpine steppe but uses other lower-elevation plains and valleys. It is partial to good grasslands with high diversity of forbs. There have been no systemat...

Equine herpesvirus type 9 (EHV-9), which we isolated from a case of epizootic encephalitis in a herd of Thomson's gazelles (Gazella thomsoni) in 1993, has been known to cause fatal encephalitis in Thomson's gazelle, giraffe, and polar bear in natural infections. Our previous report indicated that EHV-9 was similar to the equine pathogen equine herpesvirus type 1 (EHV-1), which mainly causes abo...

Introduction. The results of a standard study the explosibility aluminum air suspensions (AAS) can contribute to development AAS combustion physics. In particular, complex information about polydispersity and low explosion limit values in 1-m 3 chamber made it possible determine maximum particle size explosive fraction polydisperse sample d * m,t ≈ 40–50 µm (Poletaev, 2014). present work, relat...
