Paleoenvironmental context of the early Neanderthals of Poggetti Vecchi for the late middle Pleistocene of Central Italy

2017

AbstractWork on thermal pools at Poggetti Vecchi in Grosseto, Italy, exposed an up to 3-meter-thick succession of seven sedimentary units. Unit 2 in the lower portion of the succession contained vertebrate bones, mostly of the straight-tusked elephant, Palaeoloxodon antiquus, commingled with stone, bone, and wooden tools. Thermal carbonates overlying Unit 2 are radiometrically dated to the latter part of the middle Pleistocene. This time span indicates that early Neanderthals produced the human artifacts from Poggetti Vecchi. The elephant bones belong to seven individuals of different ages. Sedimentary facies analysis and paleoecological evidence suggest a narrow lacustrine-palustrine embay…

Replication Data for: Timing of complementary feeding and associations with maternal and infant characteristics: A Norwegian cross-sectional study

2018

This data file contains anonymous maternal and infant baseline data collected at child age 5.5 months from the Norwegian RCT Early Food for Future Health.

Replication Data for: Examining the effects of an eHealth intervention from infant age 6 to 12 months on child eating behaviors and maternal feeding …

2019

This SPSS-dataset presents data from the Norwegian randomized controlled trial Early Food for Future Health. This project started in 2015, with the objective of developing an eHealth intervention providing guidance on protective feeding practices at child age 6-12 months aiming to promote healthy food habits from infancy. Previously, we have presented data obtained from the study`s web-based, self-administered questionnaires at baseline (child age 5 months) and after the end of the intervention (child age 12 months) on maternal feeding practices, child eating behaviour, food-intake and mealtime routines (n=533). Here we present follow-up data at child age 24 months, one year after cessation…

Lo scavo della Chiesa di Santa Maria Degli Angeli alla Gancia: indicatori archeologici della prima età islamica a Palermo

2014

Lo scavo in occasione del restauro della chiesa di Santa Maria degli Angeli alla Gancia a Palermo ha permesso di recuperare alcune stratigrafie affidabili relative alla prima età islamica a Palermo. Lo studio della ceramica ha restituito una serie di indicatori cronologici per il IX-X secolo nonché di proporre nuove cronologie per alcune classi di materiali. Relativamente alla storia della città questo scavo ha aggiunto alcune note importanti che riguardano il porto e la cittadella e mirale la al-Halisah.

Late Pleistocene-Holocene coastal adaptation in central Mediterranean: Snapshots from Grotta d’Oriente (NW Sicily)

2018

Marine faunal remains from Grotta d’Oriente (Favignana Island, NW Sicily) offer invaluable snapshots of human-coastal environment interaction in the central Mediterranean from the Late Pleistocene to the Middle Holocene. The long-term shellfish and fish records reflect human exploitation of coastal environments undergoing considerable reorganizations during the postglacial sea level rise and the progressive isolation of Favignana from mainland Sicily. We detected an intensification of marine resource exploitation between ∼9.6 ka and ∼7.8 ka BP, which corresponds with the isolation of Favignana Island and, later on, with the introduction of early agro-pastoral economy in this region. We sugg…

A Retrospective Study of the Proportion of Women at High and Low Risk of Intrauterine Infection Meeting Sepsis Criteria

2021

The Surviving Sepsis Campaign recently recommended that qSOFA not be used as a single parameter for identification of sepsis. Thus, we evaluated the efficacy of SIRS and qSOFA scores in identifying intrauterine infection. This case–control study evaluates SIRS and qSOFA criteria fulfillment in preterm premature rupture of membranes (n = 453)—at high infection risk—versus elective cesarean—at low infection risk (n = 2004); secondary outcomes included intrauterine infection and positive culture rates. At admission, 14.8% of the study group and 4.6% of control met SIRS criteria (p = 0.001), as did 12.5% and 5.5% on post-operation day (POD) 1 (p = 0.001), with no signifi…

Proliferation and MHC-unrestricted bystander lysis by virus-specific cytotoxic T cells following antigen self-presentation.

1998

Cytotoxic T cells (CTL) not only act as effector cells, but can also serve as antigen-presenting cells (APC) for other CTL due to their expression of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules. In the present study we show that independently derived CTL lines (CTLL) with specificity for an L(d)-presented nonapeptide corresponding to amino acids 168-176 of the immediate-early 1 (IE1) protein of murine cytomegalovirus not only lyse syngeneic but also allogeneic target cells, if the peptide is present during the cytolytic assay. Whereas a short peptide pulse is sufficient to render syngeneic cells susceptible to lysis, continued presence of soluble peptide is mandatory for the ly…

Associated Regional Chronologies for the Ancient Near East – The Middle Euphrates Region, ARCANE vol. 4

2015

The Middle Euphrates region extends between Jezirah and Northern Levant; it follows the course of the Euphrates from the south flanks of the Taurus mountains in Turkey almost to the modern border with Iraq. The settlement area drawn out between steppes in the east and in the west owes its particular character to just that life line with its rich soil but also to the trade routes meeting at the Euphrates Bend and connecting Anatolia to Mesopotamia, and the Syrian east to the Levant. Especially for the 3rd millennium, finds and findings from the area under consideration show great cultural variety and demonstrate the different influences by the neighbouring regions that meet here at the Euphr…
