While rock glaciers (RGs) are widespread in the Zhetysu Alatau mountain range of Tien Shan (Kazakhstan), they have not yet been systematically investigated. In this study, we present first glacier inventory region containing 256 with quantitative information about their locations, geomorphic parameters, and downslope velocities, as established using a method that combines SAR interferometry opt...

Neolithic pile dwelling sites are known particularly well North of the Alps, with a boom starting from ca. 4300 cal BC. These famous for excellent preservation conditions organic material (wooden tools, textiles, fruit remains and foodstuffs have been preserved in many them), but their origin is still unclear. In Europe, only three reliably-dated settlements this type documented Early Neolithic...

We report concentrations of several classes of organochlorines (OCs) in the blubber of California sea lions (Zalophus californianus) from the Gulf of California. Summed OC levels measured in 34 wild-ranging animals were, in general, lower than those previously reported in sea lions from the eastern Pacific. The rank order of OCs was SigmaDDTs (mean=3400 ng g(-1 ) lipid weight [lw]) > SigmaPCBs ...

This paper presents some of the computerized linguistic resources of the Research Laboratory ATILF (Analyse et Traitement Informatique de la Langue Française) available via the Web, and will serve as a helping document for demonstrations planned within the framework of LREC 2002. The Research Laboratory ATILF is the new UMR (Unité Mixte de Recherche) created in association between the CNRS and ...

WorfDB (Worm ORFeome DataBase; http://worfdb.dfci.harvard.edu) was created to integrate and disseminate the data from the cloning of complete set of approximately 19 000 predicted protein-encoding Open Reading Frames (ORFs) of Caenorhabditis elegans (also referred to as the 'worm ORFeome'). WorfDB serves as a central data repository enabling the scientific community to search for availability a...

New AAT near-infrared and SEST CO J = 2 → 1 observations are combined with existing ISO mid-infrared and ATCA cm radio continuum observations to examine the protostellar content of the Bok globule BHR 71. Together with observations of Herbig-Haro objects, these data show: (1) Two protostellar sources, IRS1 and IRS2, with a separation of ∼17 (3400 AU) are located within BHR 71. (2) Each protosta...

This paper examines the costs and cost-effectiveness of psychosocial treatment for personality disorder in a controlled study. Using well-validated cost and outcome measures three groups are compared: the One-Stage group (n=32) received 12 months of inpatient treatment; the Step-Down group (n=29) received 6 months of inpatient treatment followed by 12 months of outpatient therapy; and the contr...
