Radiocarbon evidence for the early Bronze Age Levant: The site of tell Fadous-Kfarabida (Lebanon) and the end of the early bronze III period
No full textAbsolute dates for the end of the Early Bronze Age ancient Near East are of crucial importance for assessing the nature and extent of mid- to late 3rd millennium BC transitions in the Near East and their alleged link to the 4.2ka BP climatic event. This article presents a radiocarbon sequence for the Early Bronze Age site of Tell Fadous-Kfarabida (Lebanon) and argues that the end of the Early Bronze III period has to be dated considerably higher than previously estimated. There is no reason to assume that the 4.2ka BP event might have contributed to or even triggered the collapse of the first urban cities in the southern and central Levant. © 2014 by the Arizona Board of Regents on behalf of the University of Arizona.Badreshany K, 2005, B ARCHEOLOGIE ARCHIT, V9, P5; Badreshany K, 2009, B AM SCH ORIENT RES, V355, P51; Bar-Matthews M, 2011, HOLOCENE, V21, P163, DOI 10.1177-0959683610384165; Ramsey CB, 2009, RADIOCARBON, V51, P1023; Ramsey CB, 1995, RADIOCARBON, V37, P425; Bronk-Ramsey C., 2002, ARCHAEOMETRY, V44, P1; BUCK CE, 1992, J ARCHAEOL SCI, V19, P497, DOI 10.1016-0305-4403(92)90025-X; Callaway JA, 1978, ARCHAEOLOGY LEVANT, P46; de Miroschedji P, 2012, ALL WISDOM E STUDIES, P265; de Miroschedji P, 2001, B SOC FRANCAISE EGYP, V152, P28; Dever WG, 1970, NEAR E ARCHAEOLOGY, P132; Genz H, 2012, COMPANION ARCHAEOLOG, P607; Genz H, 2009, B ARCHEOLOGIE ARCHIT, VVI, P107; Genz H, 2009, B ARCHEOLOGIE ARCHIT, V13, P71; Genz H, 2008, B ARCHEOLOGIE ARCHIT, V12, P149; Genz H, 2010, B ARCHEOLOGIE ARCHIT, V14, P241; Genz H, 2007, B ARCHEOLOGIE ARCHIT, V11, P7; Genz H, 2010, REPORTS RECENT FIELD, V2, P205; Genz H, 2010, NEAR EAST ARCHAEOL, V73, P102; Genz H, OLD KINGDOM POTTERY, V2; Harrison TP, 2012, COMPANION ARCHAEOLOG, P629; Kenyon K.

Bouwlogistieke innovaties weerbarstig te implementeren
No full textToelevering van bouwmaterialen aan bouwprojecten is complex en verregaande gesegregeerd. De bouwsector staat voor een kans te innoveren op het vlak van de bouwlogistiek. In het verleden is ervaring opgedaan met ‘best-practices’ die voldoende kansen bieden de noodzakelijk innovatie door te voeren. Via proeftuinen wordt in het TKI-project ‘4C in Bouwlogistiek’ gewerkt aan het implementeren van de ‘best-practices’: bouwlogistiek hubs, bouwtickets, vandaag voor morgen, opstelstrips en mobiele voorraadcontainers. Ervaring leert dat cultuurverschillen tussen bouwkundigen en logistici, en gebrek aan meten en vastleggen van gegevens de implementatie bemoeilijken. Echte innovatie gaat mogelijk komen van bedrijven die logistiek geheel anders gaan doen. Voorbeelden van concepten die voor innovatie in bouwlogistiek kunnen zorgen zijn te vinden bij: IKEA, Toyota, Zara, Uber. Ook 3Dprinting gaat de bouwlogistiek sterk beïnvloeden.Engineering, Systems and ServicesTechnology, Policy and Managemen
Parental Energy Expenditure During Brood Rearing in the Great Tit (Parus major) in Relation to Body Mass, Temperature, Food Availability and Clutch Size
No full text1. Quantification of the energetic needs of reproducing animals provides a basis for understanding patterns in reproduction. The doubly labelled water technique enables this to be carried out under natural conditions. 2. Daily energy expenditure of 32 female Great Tits (Parus major) tending nestlings 11-12 days old (DEE(par)) and energy expenditure at night of five females was measured using the doubly labelled water technique. 3. Average DEE(par) was 95.1 kJ (24 h)-1 (1.10 W) and close to most predictions based on interspecific allometric relationships. Night metabolism was estimated to be 0.68 W. 4. Individual variation in DEE(par) could be explained by variation in body mass (+), ambient temperature (-), clutch size (+) and food availability (-) but not by female tarsus length, age, brood size or nestling mass. The significant factors together accounted for the differences found between years and broods and explained 64% of the variation. Possible causal pathways are discussed. 5. The DEE(par) in Great Tits was related to body mass with an exponent of 1.99; significantly steeper than the interspecific exponent of 0.67-0.75 reported in the literature. Analysis of intraspecific variation in DEE(par) for 10 species tending young, revealed variable trends with body mass

Analysis of asexual reproduction Dugesia dorotocephala
No full textGenetic control of decapitation-induced fission in planaria is mediated by stimulator and inhibitor molecules. Resolution of the two factors was accomplished by filtration chromatography of whole planaria extract. The stimulator (M.W. 2500 to 3500) was purified with ion exchange chromatography and increases the multiple fission rate. The inhibitor (M.W. 20,000 to 50,000) is non-dialyzable, heat labile and is inactivated unless kept frozen. Storage at 4°C results in a loss of inhibitory capacity with a concomitant stimulator increase, suggesting a protein-stimulator complex as the inhibitor. In light of a demonstrated animal intercommunication system, the inhibitor-stimulator complex is hypothesized as part of a natural population control mechanism. The stimulator (long-acting) is released into the culture medium and induces an all or none response among other members of the population which are physiologically receptive. Fission inhibition (short-lived) is elicited only upon intimate animal contact and is possibly in the animal slime
