Human trophy heads from the Wari site of Conchopata (AD 600-1000) are examined to evaluate if recently deceased persons or old corpses were used to make trophy heads and determine if the modifications are standardized. Similarly styled trophy heads may suggest state oversight that ensured uniform modifications, while different styles may suggest that various factions or kin groups prepared them...

background and objective: one way to promote education quality is to evaluate faculty activities by students, departmental heads, and the dean. the degree of correspondence between students' and departmental heads' evaluation shows how honest they are in their assessment. the current paper intends to find the truth.     materials and methods : questionnaires were used to conduct the s...

This work explored a short light treatment performance to improve postharvest life and nutrients of broccoli heads stored at 5°C 93% RH up 22 days. A white LED was used as source. The intensity exposure times were 9.5 W/m2 3 hr per day. Compared dark storage, the delayed color changes preserved chlorophyll pigment levels. weight loss, respiratory rate, soluble proteins not affected by light. Af...

The rotational motion of crossbridges, formed when myosin heads bind to actin, is an essential element of most molecular models of muscle contraction. To obtain direct information about this molecular motion, we have performed saturation transfer EPR experiments in which spin labels were selectively and rigidly attached to myosin heads in purified myosin and in glycerinated myofibrils. In synth...

R544 Current Biology 26, R543–R576, July be repaired, replaced and renewed, and in principle this renewal could go on indefi nitely. And at least in the freshwater polyp Hydra, there don’t seem to be any signs of senescence. But from an evolutionary perspective, things look different. Typically, many organisms die before they reach old age, due to circumstances beyond their control, like being ...

We discuss CharToon, an interactive system to design and animate 2D cartoon talking heads. We give illustrations of the expressive and artistic effects which can be produced. It has been used with success by different types of users.

ing away from the role of PARSE-SYLL in the results derived immediately above, the ranking arguments giving the partial metrical transparency result in Selayarese are summarized as follows. (59) Summary of Ranking Arguments •ALIGN-R (PrWd, {F}) » HEAD-DEP: Epenthesis does not yield preantepenultimate stress: sahalákku, not sá:halakku •HEAD-DEP » ALIGN-R (F, PrWd): Epenthesis into final syllable...

objective: the usage of pesticides has increased during the recent years. one the other hand, presence of harmful pesticides residue in rice and other food has caused a great concern among the consumers. therefore, it is important to develop some pragmatic procedures to increase the food safety along with the reduction in consumption of pesticide residues. methods: a gas chromatograph with elec...
