extended abstract 1. introduction the story of a hero’s journey and weathering arduous stages for the purpose of accomplishing a specific objective and subsequently bestowing the gifts of that tortuous journey on companions is an archetype which instigated joseph campbell (1904-1987), an american mythologist, to propound a comprehensive outline to portray an archetype of a heroes’ journey, with...

We present coupled sulfur and oxygen isotope data from sulfur nodules and surrounding gypsum, as well as iron and manganese concentration data, from the Lisan Formation near the Dead Sea (Israel). The sulfur isotope composition in the nodules ranges between -9 and -11‰, 27 to 29‰ lighter than the surrounding gypsum, while the oxygen isotope composition of the gypsum is constant around 24‰. The ...

We measured geomagnetic secular variation in Lake Lisan sediments (paleo Dead Sea). More than 1500 oriented samples were collected from a 27.3-m section of alternating aragonite and detritus laminae in the Dead Sea basin ranging in age from 67 to 32 ka. The natural remanent magnetization (NRM) is carried by titanomagnetite in the detrital laminae whereas the aragonite is diamagnetic. The NRM is...

Sleep EEG studies in depression have consistently shown shortened rapid-eye-movement (REM) iatem;y in m ~ y patients (Kupfer et al 1986), with a smaller subset expe~encing sleeponset REM (SOREM), defined as the onset of REM within 10-20 rain of the onset of sleep. In depression, SOREMs have been associated with greater illness severity (Reynolds et al 1985; Coble et al 1981), psychotic symptoms...

A DNA transfection method by laser microbeam pricking has been recently reported (Kurata, S. et al. Exp. Cell Res. 162, 372 (1986]. The volume of external fluid transferred into the cell by the method was determined through the injection of diphtheria toxin fragment A (Yamaizumi, M. et al. Cell 15, 245 (1978]. Using these results and the results on laser DNA transfection efficiency (Kurata, S. ...
