OBJECTIVESGeneral anaesthesia with single-lung ventilation was always considered a condition for thoracoscopic major pulmonary resections. However, nonintubated lobectomy has been reported recently by using conventional video-assisted surgery (VATS), epidural and vagus blockade. Here, we present technique that reduces the surgical access trauma even more: single-incision VATS approach no need or blockade in patient.

Abstract We present a novel approach to study the sustainability of ancient Mediterranean agriculture that combines measurement carbon isotope discrimination (Δ 13 C) and nitrogen composition ( δ 15 N) along with assessment quality traits in fossil cereal grains. Charred grains naked wheat barley were recovered Los Castillejos , an archaeological site SE Spain, continuous occupation ca. 1500 years starting soon after origin (ca. 4000 BCE) region. Crop water status yield estimated from Δ C...

Carbon isotope discrimination (Δ) was determined for kernels of six‐row barley and durum wheat cultivated in the western Mediterranean basin during last seven millennia. Samples came from different archaeological sites Catalonia (north‐east Spain) south‐east Spain (mainly eastern Andalusia). present were also analysed. Mean values Δ grains decreased slightly Neolithic (7000–5000 BP) to Chalcolithic‐Bronze (5000–3000 Iron ages (3000–2200 both (SE) Spain. Values consistently lower SE than...

This work analyses the possibility of conditioning graphite pieces (with a large proportion pores different sizes up to 100 μm) with metal coating copper or nickel produced by electroless plating, aim completely isolating from its surroundings. Electroless plating results in very filled covered, but fraction remain graphite, which decreases increasing thickness deposit. Furthermore, is permeable liquids and consequently does not become isolated surrounding. The percentage porosity covered...

Summary. Archaeological research conducted in the La Mancha region (central area of Iberian Peninsula) has made it possible to identify motillas . This specific type archaeological site consists a central fortification surrounded by an inhabited area. They appear high densities throughout plains this area, distributed at regular intervals and located places where phreatic level is closest surface water low salinity. The strong relationship between sites subsequently been supported fieldwork,...

Our main goal in this paper is the analysis of children through funerary record at archaeological Bronze Age site La Motilla del Azuer, Daimiel, Mancha area. We have chosen a settlement with high-quality and anthropological data, precise methodology excavation, documentation contextualization allow us to formulate cultural hypothesis understand roles different members social group, not only due sex age identities but also economic positions.

A partir del estudio paleopalinológico se realiza la reconstrucción paleoambiental y paleoclimática entorno de Motilla Azuer (Daimiel, Ciudad Real) durante Edad Bronce. lo largo secuencia yacimiento, que sitúa entre el 2200 1350 cal BC divide en cuatro grandes fases, documenta evento 4.2 ka BP con una serie os- cilaciones climáticas centradas un período excepcionalmente árido (fase II, 2000 1800 BC). Se plantean nuevos argumentos para demostrar importancia clima especial ambiente hidrológico...

Summary. As a result of recent fieldwork undertaken at the archaeological site Cerro de la Encina, our knowledge funerary ritual has increased considerably. The record shows significant concentration wealth in burials corresponding to family groups highest social status. Dramatic differences can also be found internal organization settlement. locations within settlement area, under floors dwellings, allow us establish that space was closely related identity families. high number with double...

Summary The archaeological settlement of Los Millares (Santa Fe de Mondújar, Almería) is located in the Mediterranean coastal area southern Spain. This site constitutes one most important settlements belonging to Copper Age Iberian Peninsula and has given its name ‘millariense’ culture. been completely excavated, yielding major faunal remains, with 27,426 bone fragments classified by researchers from Munich University (Germany). In this paper, we apply different statistical methods (mainly χ...

ABSTRACT During the Bronze Age, region of La Mancha Occidental (Spain) was occupied by prehistoric settlements in which protection basic resources a primary concern. The structure these comprised several concentric walls that surrounded conical mounds around 4–10 m high. Motilla de la Vega is an unexcavated site next to Azuer River, and only 4 km from another Age village, called del Azuer, has been subject systematic archaeological excavations paradigmatic reference for settlements.

The aim of this paper will be the analysis recent archaeological fieldworks conducted at Argaric site Cerro de la Encina. Two large areas, partially known thanks to the research undertook at beginning 1980s, have been systematically excavated. As a result different habitation areas consisting in artificial stone structures terraced into natural slopes were documented. Following classic pattern culture, burials located within settlement area under floors dwellings. funerary ritual...

Abstract. Palaeoseismological studies play a crucial role in the seismic characterization of regions with slow-moving faults. This is case central Betic Cordillera, highly populated area for which record prehistoric earthquakes very limited, despite being one greatest hazard Spain. We present here palaeoseismological Galera Fault, active faults accommodating deformation Cordillera. excavated and analysed several trenches along fault trace. quantitatively correlate results from these...
