Correlation of volcaniclastic deposits of the Bedded Tuff Member (K4) of the Kapthurin Formation (Kenya) provides the means to assess the nature of archaeological change during the later middle Pleistocene, a time period critical to human evolution but poorly represented at other African localities. Field stratigraphic evidence, and petrographic and electron microprobe geochemical analyses of v...

third-degree perineal lacerations in 7 mares were repaired surgically by a one-stage method (goetz technique). primary healing occurred in all of them without any complication. the conception rate obtained after surgery was 70.1%. five horses out of seven got pregnant after surgery and no further injury was seen at subsequent foaling. three mares have produced several healthy foals without any ...

Abstract This article reports on a new project to investigate the activities of early Homo sapiens in area Chotts ‘megalake’ southern Tunisia. Excavations 2015 and 2019 at Oued el Akarit revealed one number Middle Stone Age (MSA) horizons near top long sequence Upper Pleistocene deposits. The site identified as ( Sondage 8 ) consists lithic artefacts, bone fragments large ungulates pieces ostri...

The Late Pleistocene is a crucial period of dramatic changes in lithic technologies as well interactions between modern humans and other archaic human groups. In this paper, we describe the technological analysis assemblages collected from 28 newly discovered Paleolithic sites along Daoshui River, tributary Lishui River (itself Yangtze River) northern Hunan Province, central South China. Lumine...

In southern Italy, the number of Acheulean sites in a secure stratigraphic context is small and with control over age deposit artefacts are even less. The open-air Cala d’Arconte, Capo Grosso Bianca, located along Italian south-west coastline, represent, this context, an important source information for Lower Paleolithic. These were discovered preliminarily studied 1967–70 by A. Palma di Cesnol...

Several intriguing questions are of major interest in studying the Middle Paleolithic period. A challenging enigma concerns the southeasternmost spread of the Neanderthal sub-groups “which inhabited a vast geographical area extending from Europe to western Asia and the Middle East” (Febre, Condemi, Degioanni, 2009: 1), a topic of major importance, the discussion of which has been avoided by mos...

vital decisions made at the strategic level in an organization are not only intricate but also costly to alter. it is therefore important to find a comprehensive approach to deal with such a possibility. one of the major problems of a common balanced scorecard (bsc)-based model in strategic management is lack of a ranking system for strategic objectives in order to enable prioritization of the ...

labor pain is a cause of stress and suffering; for which many women seek methods to relieve this pain. the aim of this study was to determine the effect of relaxation techniques on pain relief during labor. this study was carried out on 62 pregnant women referred to fatemieh hospital (hamadan, iran) during their labor. they were selected using convenience sampling and were divided randomly in t...
