Neanderthals had large and projecting (prognathic) faces similar to those of their putative ancestors from Sima de los Huesos (SH) and different from the retracted modern human face. When such differences arose during development and the morphogenetic modifications involved are unknown. We show that maxillary growth remodelling (bone formation and resorption) of the Devil's Tower (Gibraltar 2) ...

The clinical and prognostic benefits of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) are well accepted for certain subgroups of patients with ischaemic heart disease, and as many as one million patients undergo this operation annually on a worldwide basis. Most CABG patients require grafting of the three main native coronary arteries; for the last 15 years the “standard” operation has achieved this u...

Human hearing differs from that of chimpanzees and most other anthropoids in maintaining a relatively high sensitivity from 2 kHz up to 4 kHz, a region that contains relevant acoustic information in spoken language. Knowledge of the auditory capacities in human fossil ancestors could greatly enhance the understanding of when this human pattern emerged during the course of our evolutionary histo...

The Sima de las Palomas, southeastern Spain, has yielded a series of Neandertal postcranial remains, including immature and mature isolated elements and the fragmentary partial skeleton of a young adult (Palomas 92). The remains largely conform to the general late archaic/Neandertal morphological pattern in terms of humeral diaphyseal shape, pectoralis major tuberosity size and pillar thickness...

This paper describes the Flow to VC mapping control module that is embedded in the RSVP over ATM implementation of the ACTS project DIANA. As part of an edge router at the ingress to the ATM network, this module provides signalling translation from RSVP to ATM, handles the admission of flows to ATM VCs and controls an IP over ATM queueing discipline. It is thus an example of a traffic descripto...

We study what kind of differentiation can be achieved using DiffServ without admission control using a relative services approach, i.e. the rate of the flow should be in proportion to the contracted rate. We model analytically differentiation mechanisms proposed in such proposals as AF and Simple Integrated Media Access (SIMA) with emphasis on modelling the interaction between various different...

Middle Paleolithic fossil human remains from the Sima de las Palomas in southeastern Iberia (dated to <or=43,000-40,000 calendar years before present) present a suite of derived Neandertal and/or retained ancestral morphological features in the mandibular symphysis, mandibular ramus, dental occlusal morphology, and distal hand phalanx. These traits are combined with variation in the mandibular ...

This paper presents results from performance measurements carried out in a Differentiated Services WAN connecting three major cities in Southern Finland. The target of the measurements was to collect precise information about the level of service, experienced by a user transmitting files with FTP in a network that implements service differentiation by using drop precedence levels and separate c...

The study aimed to find out the women's representation of Sima Bahous' speech entitled "Looking Forward a Future Gender Equality" by applying Mills' discourse analysis perspective, such as subject-object position, reader and writer-reader position. presence UN Women organization is new step source hope for women fighting gender equality empowerment. Bahous, woman behind Women, contributed impro...
