TL;DR: The Alpine Iceman's migration during adulthood is indicated by contrasting isotopic compositions of enamel, bones, and intestinal content, demonstrating that the Alpine valleys of central Europe were permanently inhabited during the terminal Neolithic.
Abstract: The Alpine Iceman provides a unique window into the Neolithic-Copper Age of Europe. We compared the radiogenic (strontium and lead) and stable (oxygen and carbon) isotope composition of the Iceman's teeth and bones, as well as 40Ar/39Ar mica ages from his intestine, to local geology and hydrology, and we inferred his habitat and range from childhood to adult life. The Iceman's origin can be restricted to a few valleys within ∼60 kilometers south(east) of the discovery site. His migration during adulthood is indicated by contrasting isotopic compositions of enamel, bones, and intestinal content. This demonstrates that the Alpine valleys of central Europe were permanently inhabited during the terminal Neolithic.

TL;DR: In this article, a novel approach for detection and classification of power quality (PQ) disturbances is proposed, where distorted waveforms are generated based on the IEEE 1159 standard, captured with a sampling rate of 20 kHz and de-noised using discrete wavelet transform (DWT) to obtain signals with higher signal-to-noise ratio.
Abstract: A novel approach for detection and classification of power quality (PQ) disturbances is proposed. The distorted waveforms (PQ events) are generated based on the IEEE 1159 standard, captured with a sampling rate of 20 kHz and de-noised using discrete wavelet transform (DWT) to obtain signals with higher signal-to-noise ratio. The DWT is also used to decompose the signal of PQ events and to extract its useful information. Proper feature vectors are selected and applied in training the wavelet network classifier. The effectiveness of the proposed method is tested using a wide spectrum of PQ disturbances including dc offset, harmonics, flicker, interrupt, sag, swell, notching, transient and combinations of these events. Comparison of test results with those generated by other existing methods shows enhanced performance with a classification accuracy of 98.18%. The main contribution of the paper is an accurate (because of proper selection of feature vectors), fast (e.g. a new de-noising approach with proposed identification criterion) and robust (at different signal-to-noise ratios) wavelet network-based algorithm (as compared to the conventional wavelet-based algorithms) for detection/classification of individual, as well as combined PQ disturbances.

TL;DR: Concentrations of tea tree oil which inhibit or decrease growth of Escherichia coli also inhibit glucose‐dependent respiration and stimulate the leakage of intracellular K+.
Abstract: Concentrations of tea tree oil (TTO) which inhibit or decrease growth of Escherichia coli also inhibit glucose-dependent respiration and stimulate the leakage of intracellular K+ Stationary phase cells are more tolerant to these TTO effects than exponential phase cells

TL;DR: It was found that the adsorption capacity of the synthesised adsorbents depends on the preparation conditions such as NaOH:fly-ash ratio and fusion temperature with the optimal conditions being at 1.2:1 weight ratio of Na: fly-ash at 250-350 degrees C.
