Mycobacterium leprae genomes from a British medieval leprosy hospital: towards understanding an ancient epidemic

Background: Leprosy has afflicted humankind throughout history leaving evidence in both early texts and the archaeological record. In Britain, leprosy was widespread throughout the Middle Ages until its gradual and unexplained decline between the 14th and ...

Sediment dynamics in the subaquatic channel of the Rhone delta (Lake Geneva, France/Switzerland)

Nicolas Le Dantec

With its smaller size, well-known boundary conditions, and the availability of detailed bathymetric data, Lake Geneva's subaquatic canyon in the Rhone Delta is an excellent analogue to understand sedimentary processes in deep-water submarine channels. A mu ...

Two ancient human genomes reveal Polynesian ancestry among the indigenous Botocudos of Brazil

Jeffrey David Jensen

Summary Understanding the peopling of the Americas remains an important and challenging question. Here, we present 14C dates, and morphological, isotopic and genomic sequence data from two human skulls from the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, part of one of ...

South Pole glacial climate reconstruction from multi-borehole laser particulate stratigraphy

Shirit Cohen, Mathieu Ribordy, Matthias Wolf, Xiaoxia Bai

The IceCube Neutrino Observatory and its prototype, AMANDA, were built in South Pole ice, using powerful hot-water drills to cleanly bore >100 holes to depths up to 2500 m. The construction of these particle physics detectors provided a unique opportunity ...

Luminescence studies on photostimulable phosphor CsBr:Eu2+

Giovanni Dietler, Serguei Sekatski, Kanat Dukenbayev

Photostimulable phosphor CsBr:Eu2+ is prepared through a solid-state reaction. The effect of annealing atmosphere on photoluminescence and photostimulated luminescence was investigated. Optimum luminescence intensity was obtained when samples were prepared ...

Shock-induced deformation of Shergottites: Shock-pressures and perturbations of magmatic ages on Mars

Philippe Gillet, Pierre Beck

Shergottites and Chassignites practiced major deformation effects whose nature, magnitude and relevance were controversially evaluated and disputatively debated. Our studies of many shocked shergottites present, contrary to numerous previous reports, ample ...

Care. Emerging Natures : Research by Design

Pieter Versteegh

The work addresses research by design as a subject and a method. It explores theorizations, experimentations, and verifications, all of them engaged in writing, drawing and building. It is discovery-led, and starts from a blurry "state of the arts". It osc ...

Antibacterial Ag-ZrN surfaces promoted by subnanometric ZrN-clusters deposited by reactive pulsed magnetron sputtering

César Pulgarin, Juan Kiwi, Rosendo Sanjines, Oualid Baghriche

Ag-ZrN films were deposited on polyester by direct current pulsed magnetron sputtering (from now on DCMSP) in Ar + N-2 atmosphere. ZrN on the polyester surface interacts with Ag leading to Ag-ZrN films. These composite films were more active in Escherichia ...

Catchment travel time distributions and water flow in soils

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Ludovico Nicotina, Gianluca Botter

Many details about the flow of water in soils in a hillslope are unknowable given current technologies. One way of learning about the bulk effects of water velocity distributions on hillslopes is through the use of tracers. However, this paper will demonst ...

Mycobacterium leprae genotype amplified from an archaeological case of lepromatous leprosy in Central Asia

Stewart Cole

We have amplified Mycobacterium leprae DNA from the skeleton of an adult human female exhibiting signs of lepromatous leprosy (LL). The remains were excavated from the site of Devkesken 6 on the Ustyurt plateau of Uzbekistan and date to between the 1st and ...
