Is amino acid racemization a useful tool for screening for ancient DNA in bone?
Matthew J Collins, Kirsty EH Penkman, Nadin Rohland, Beth Shapiro, Reimer C Dobberstein, Stefanie Ritz-Timme, Michael Hofreiter
Dec 06, 2018
Many rare and valuable ancient specimens now carry the scars of ancient DNA research, as questions of population genetics and phylogeography require larger sample sets. This fuels the demand for reliable techniques to screen for...

Marine and ice-core records show that the Earth has experienced a succession of glacials and interglacials during the Quaternary (last ∼2.6 million years), although it is often difficult to correlate fragmentary terrestrial...
Effects of noise on integration of acoustic and electric hearing within and across ears
In bimodal listening, cochlear implant (CI) users combine electric hearing (EH) in one ear and acoustic hearing (AH) in the other ear. In electric-acoustic stimulation (EAS), CI users combine EH and AH in the same ear. In quiet...

Bone diagenesis in a Mycenaean secondary burial (Kastrouli, Greece)
Abstract: This paper presents the characteristics of bone diagenesis in a secondary commingled Mycenaean burial in Kastrouli (Phocis, Greece) through the histological (light microscopy), physical (FTIR-ATR), and biochemical...

The recovery and analysis of ancient DNA and protein from archaeological bone is time-consuming and expensive to carry out, while it involves the partial or complete destruction of valuable or rare specimens. The fields of...
Enhancing Network Lifetime of Duty Cycle-Based WSN With Mobile Sink Using Ambient Energy Harvesting
In order to guarantee a successful data collection process in wireless sensor networks with mobile sinks (WSN-MS), two primary objectives must be reached: 1) enabling the mobile sink to retrieve the maximum amount of data and 2)...

WNK1--a serine/threonine kinase involved in electrolyte homeostasis and blood pressure (BP) control--is an excellent candidate gene for essential hypertension (EH). We and others have previously reported association between WNK1...
Regional optimum frequency analysis of resting-state fMRI data for early detection of Alzheimer’s disease biomarkers
Gaurav Garg, Girijesh Prasad, Lalit Grag, Makoto Miyakoshi, Toshiharu Nakai, Damien Coyle
Dec 01, 2022
The blood-oxygen label dependent (BOLD) signal obtained from functional magnetic resonance images (fMRI) varies significantly among populations. Yet, there is some agreement among researchers over the pace of the blood flow...
The Transformation of the Lives of Others

Self-criticism as a mediator in the relationship between unhealthy perfectionism and distress
Unhealthy or negative perfectionism has been identified as both a risk and maintaining factor for a range of psychological difficulties. A cross-sectional online study with a predominantly student population (n = 381)...
Applying optimal control theory to complex epidemiological models to inform real-world disease management.
Mathematical models provide a rational basis to inform how, where and when to control disease. Assuming an accurate spatially explicit simulation model can be fitted to spread data, it is straightforward to use it to test the...
What are the barriers to the SHAI being completed within a CFS/ME service?
Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a debilitating condition, characterised by unexplained and excessive fatigue, muscle pain and sleep disturbances. Health anxiety is common in ME/CFS and accurate...
