Journal ArticleDOI
Exceptional seed longevity and robust growth: ancient Sacred Lotus from China
TL;DR: Activity of the protein-repair enzyme L-isoaspartyl methyltransferase in the old lotus seed is persistent during germination and is as robust as that in the progeny, and the degree of aspartyl racemization in proteins of the two groups of plants is minimal and essentially identical.
Journal ArticleDOI
Replacement Rates for Human Tissue from Atmospheric Radiocarbon
TL;DR: Carbon-14, derived from the testing of thermonuclear weapons in the atmosphere of the Northern Hemisphere during 1961-62, has been found in human tissues including the brain in amounts which reflect the atmospheric concentration of carbon-14 as of several months earlier.
Journal ArticleDOI
Late pleistocene history of coniferous woodland in the mohave desert.
Philip V. Wells,Rainer Berger +1 more
TL;DR: The macrofossil evidence speaks for former continuity of the many disjunct stands of woodland vegetation in the Mohave Desert region, at least along the higher divides connecting most of the ranges, but there is no macrof fossil evidence of pluvial continuity of range for the more mesophytic, montane, coniferous-forest zone of ponderosa pine or white fir now occupying islands of relatively mesic environment on the highest mountains of the region.
Journal ArticleDOI
Radiocarbon Dating of Bone and Shell from Their Organic Components.
TL;DR: A method of dating bone and shell by radiocarbon content has been developed and the mineral is removed by mild acid treatment and the residual carbon is dated in the usual manner.
Journal ArticleDOI
UCLA radiocarbon dates V.
Rainer Berger,Willard F. Libby +1 more
TL;DR: Radiocarbon measurements carried out during 1965 are reported on archeologic-historic samples from California, Nevada, Mexico, Peru, Brazil, Philippines, Spain, England, Egypt, and Africa as discussed by the authors.
