The Royal Navy’s 1845 Arctic expedition, commanded by Sir John Franklin, was a disaster from which none of the 129 men who sailed into the Canadian archipelago would return. Hypotheses concerning the source of the high lead levels detected in human remains from the Franklin expedition are re-examined in the light of evidence from cases of occupational exposure and of malicious poisoning. It is ...

In this report, a method for attitude control of statically-stable walking robots is developed such that slip is minimized when the body is leveled by using only the actuators which cause vertical link motions. If all legs of a walker have three independent nanslational degrees of freedom, then an attitude conhul method that uses all actuators may be used to level the body with no foot slippage...

MOTIVATION Identifying the location of binding sites on proteins is of fundamental importance for a wide range of applications, including molecular docking, de novo drug design, structure identification and comparison of functional sites. Here we present Erebus, a web server that searches the entire Protein Data Bank for a given substructure defined by a set of atoms of interest, such as the bi...

GPS measurements collected between 1999 and 2002 in Marie Byrd Land, West Antarctica indicate no significant present motion between East and West Antarctica greater than 1–2 mm/year. Low strain rates imply that the Ross Sea rift is either inactive or active at a very low rate. This result indicates that the two subcontinents are likely joined as a single coherent lithospheric plate. They could ...
