Evidence relating to the ‘Mousterian’ period in the Périgord and adjacent areas of south-west France has increased strikingly—both in quantity and quality—during the past two decades (note 1, p. 166). New sites have been excavated (and old sites re-excavated) with the aid of much more refined techniques for separating the different strata and recording the finds than those employed hitherto; faunal remains have been subjected to closer and more systematic examination (Bouchud, 1966; Bordes and Prat, 1965); and the application of detailed palynological and sedimentological analyses has provided a relatively clear and firmly-established picture of the climatic and ecological conditions under which the Mousterian communities lived (Bordes et al., 1966; Bonifay, 1964; Laville, 1964a, etc.).Perhaps the most impressive advances, however, have been made in studies of the Mousterian industries themselves. Extensive application of the quantitative techniques of analyses devised by Professor F. Bordes and M. Bourgon (1951b) has permitted for the first time an objective appraisal of the full range of typological and technical variability which the Mousterian assemblages of this region embrace. On the basis of these analyses it has been possible to divide the industries into a number of relatively well-defined taxonomic groups (Bordes, 1953, 1957b, 1961a, 1968, 98–105 etc.). Although based initially on a very small body of data (Bordes and Bourgon, 1951b; Bordes, 1953), subsequent analysis of a much larger number of industries has provided strong support for at least the major features of this taxonomic scheme (Mellars, 1967, 97–145).

We studied in detail a moss-lichen component of Shokalsky Island vegetation for the first time and identified 79 species of mosses and 54 species and 2 subspecies of lichens and lichenicolous fungi. All species of mosses and 23 species and 2 subspecies of lichens and lichenicolous fungi are recorded for the first time for the island. The study is based on collections made in South West part of the island, in arctic tundra. We also explored the participation of the mosses and lichens in the main types of plant communities and the species distribution in 10 ecotopes. The paper describes the noteworthy findings (Abrothallus parmeliarum, Aongstroemia longipes, Arthonia peltigerea, Caloplaca caesiorufella, Catillaria stereocaulorum, Ceratodon heterophyllus, Lecanora leptacinella, Sphagnum concinnum, S. olafii) and features of bryo- and lichenoflora of Shokalsky Island.

It is just over twenty years since Professor Ernst Sprockhoff published his classic study of bronze swords in Northern Europe, and a review of the situation as it presents itself today, surveyed from a point well outside the limits of the Nordic area, may not be out of place.The ground covered in this fine work had already in part been traversed by Sophus Müller and Gustav Kossinna; but in the process it had become a field of battle where the bitterest partisan spirit had all too recently been displayed, and might all too easily have been re-aroused. It is not the least part of our debt to Sprockhoff that he refused to treat his material on controversial lines, and confined himself to a presentation so objective that it immediately became possible, for the first time for many years, once more to discuss the subject in a sane and cool manner. Thus, adding much that was new and solely his own, he set down in plain, precise terms the whole of the evidence relating to the history, development, and chronology of the flange-hilted bronze swords of the North.Of this structure the main fabric, without any doubt, stands firm. The central theme, based on a large number of closed finds, and supported by an intimate knowledge of the material, need fear no criticism. Yet some aspects at least of the relations between the Nordic world and other parts of Europe call for re-examination, and the work of the past two decades enables some adjustments to be made. In fairness to Sprockhoff it should be stated quite clearly, at the outset, that the most important of these adjustments have been either made possible, or actually anticipated, by his own work in related fields since 1931.

AbstractExcavations during the 1960s of the site of Canhasan I in Karaman province in central Turkey revealed that the Chalcolithic ornaments of the region were both complex and varied. The ornaments of the site, consisting of beads (including pendants and plaques), bracelets and plugs or labrets, were made in many forms and from a variety of different materials, and thus hint at a connected world where ideas, resources and products moved from one place to another. While a catalogue of some of the artefacts has been produced previously (French 2010), this article details these ornaments and considers their temporal and geographical positions within the history of beads, bracelets and other decorative items for the first time. It explores legacies from the past, new fashions and the complicated relationships between material sources, technology, forms, style and use during a period and in an artefact category that have often been overlooked.

The T. S. Eliot Studies Annual brings together a collection of essays at the fore of the critical reassessment of Eliot’s life and work in light of the ongoing publication of his letters, critical volumes of his complete prose, the new edition of his complete poems, and the forthcoming critical edition of his plays. The volume features various approaches, but the dominant methodology is a historicist: essays reconsider Eliot’s work as a poet, critic, playwright, editor, and foremost exemplar of literary modernism in light of contemporary debate, contexts, and newly available primary materials. In addition to cutting-edge scholarship re-dating the chronology and genesis of Eliot’s poetry and plays, recasting longstanding scholarly debates, and reframing standard critical narratives, this volume contains two special forums. The first commemorates the centenary of the publication of “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock.” Together, essays in this cluster reexamine the circumstances surrounding the poem’s original publication, recontextualize its allusions, and reconstruct its reception over the past century. The second essay cluster examines the annotations made in books from Eliot’s personal library, recently made available to researchers for the first time. The book concludes with a bibliography of recent Eliot scholarship, including book reviews, dissertations, journal articles, book chapters, and monograph publications.

Outokumpu Company has gone a long way in the last 20 years in the development and application of WDXRF-techniques in on-stream analysis of slurries in ore concentrators. The applications in which the samples were in solution form came only about 4 years ago when these analyzers were used for the first time in hydrometallurgical plants, During the past 15 years many improvements have been made in most parts of the equipment to Biake the performance and reliability better. The most important work to improve the analytical capability of the analyzer has been done on the spectrometers and detectors. This has resulted in better sensitivities and has given the possibility to go down to ppm levels in many determinations. The technical details of the improvements have been presented in several papers (1-4).

The past few years have seen dramatic improvements in the scope and realism of star cluster simulations. Accurate treatments of stellar evolution, coupled with robust descriptions of all phases of binary evolution, have been incorporated self-consistently into several dynamical codes, allowing for the first time detailed study of the interplay between stellar dynamics and stellar physics. The coupling between evolution, dynamics, and the observational appearance of the cluster is particularly strong in young systems and those containing large numbers of primordial binary systems, and important inroads have been made in these areas, particularly in N-body simulations. I discuss some technical aspects of the current generation of N-body integrators, and describe some recent results obtained using these codes.

Over the past years there have been significant advances in breast cancer treatment and early detection. For the first time, a decrease in cancer mortality has been observed. Recently, much progress has been made in the understanding of carcinogenesis partly due to available new technologies to detect early molecular changes in the tissue. The knowledge of breast cancer carcinogenesis has provided possible opportunities to prevent breast cancer. Currently, several clinical breast cancer prevention trials are ongoing. This paper reviews issues related to breast cancer chemoprevention including identification of high risk cohorts, endpoint biomarkers, current and new chemopreventive agents as well as models to evaluate these agents.

For the first time, new sources of minerals are likely to be exploited in the deep seas in an area beyond national jurisdiction. Deep-sea mining encompasses the potential for cooperation and/or competition between the most technologically and economically advanced States and those aspiring to join this group. The community of States recognized this potential early on and signed new treaties, established new international institutions, and promised new levels of cooperation. Most importantly, they also set a standard according to which the exploration for and exploitation of these new resources are to be governed, namely in the context of the Common Heritage of Mankind. This article assesses what progress has been made in the past forty years on defining and implementing the Common Heritage of Mankind as a normative and legal framework for governing the exploration for and exploitation of marine minerals in the deep seas.

There is some controversy about the strength of the stock of mackerel in the Celtic Sea and off the coasts of Cornwall and Ireland, and it is difficult to find out if the numbers of mackerel in this area have fluctuated in the past (Johnson, 1977; Lockwood & Johnson, 1976; Lockwood, 1978; Coombs, Pipe & Mitchell, 1977,1979, 1980). The earliest complete survey of the south-west spawning grounds was made in 1937–9 (Steven & Corbin, 1939; Corbin, 1947) and was principally designed to show the seasonal and geographical pattern, not provide a basis for stock evaluation. Nevertheless, this survey is the only information we have about the breeding of mackerel in the days before the war when fishing was performed with drift-nets and lines, a period when we can assume exploitation was very much less intense than today when trawls and purse-seines are used. Attempts to use the 1937–9 data for estimation of the pre-war stock have been regarded as giving unsatisfactory results (Walsh, 1976). The data from the 1937–9 surveys were defective because we did not know the influence of the depth of fishing of the nets in relation to the vertical distribution of the eggs, nor the efficiency and catching capacity of the nets for sampling eggs and post-larvae.

AbstractClinically, lipomas of the hypopharynx may be confused with other benign or even malignant lesions. Barium flow radiography allows depiction of lesions cranial to the epiglottis, but often fails to be accurate for subepiglottic lesions. CT however has allowed a certain diagnosis to be made in many cases in the past. MRI is still more accurate, and allows not only a more specific diagnosis of the lesion, but also a better depiction of the origin of the pedunculated lesion and its extension in the parapharyngeal space. This paper adds three cases to the 52 cases in the literature already described and presents the typical features of hypopharyngeal lipoma by MRI for the first time.
