Ice Patch Archaeology in Alaska: 2000â10
In the past decade, ice patch archaeological research has been initiated in several areas of Alaska, including Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve, the Amphitheater Mountains, Lake Clark National Park and Preserve, Denali National Park and Preserve, Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve, Chugach National Forest, and Katmai National Park. Although still in its formative stages, this research demonstrates that high-altitude ice patches have been an important part of the annual subsistence cycles of Alaskan people for at least 4000 years. Researchers have found cultural materials at 13 Alaskan ice patches. Most artifacts recovered are related to caribou hunting; however, a growing body of evidence demonstrates that ice patches were the foci for a wide range of subsistence activities, such as hunting birds, harvesting berries, and snaring small mammals. Site interpretations are based on ethnographically documented cultural practices, animal behavior, alpine ecology and geology, and archaeological analyses.Au cours de la derniĂšre dĂ©cennie, des recherches archĂ©ologiques ont Ă©tĂ© entreprises dans plusieurs nĂ©vĂ©s de lâAlaska, notamment dans les rĂ©gions suivantes : Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve, monts Amphitheater, Lake Clark National Park and Preserve, Denali National Park and Preserve, Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve, Chugach National Forest et Katmai National Park. Bien que ces recherches en soient toujours au stade embryonnaire, elles ont dĂ©jĂ permis de constater que les nĂ©vĂ©s en haute altitude ont jouĂ© un rĂŽle important dans les cycles de subsistance annuels des peuples de lâAlaska pendant au moins 4 000 ans. Les chercheurs ont rĂ©cupĂ©rĂ© du matĂ©riel culturel dans 13 nĂ©vĂ©s de lâAlaska. La plupart des artefacts qui ont Ă©tĂ© trouvĂ©s se rapportent Ă la chasse au caribou. Cependant, de plus en plus dâartefacts prouvent que les nĂ©vĂ©s Ă©taient le point de convergence dâune vaste gamme dâactivitĂ©s de subsistance, comme la chasse aux oiseaux, la rĂ©colte des petits fruits et le piĂ©geage des petits mammifĂšres. LâinterprĂ©tation des sites sâappuie sur les pratiques culturelles documentĂ©es de maniĂšre ethnographique, sur le comportement animal, sur lâĂ©cologie et la gĂ©ologie alpines ainsi que sur les analyses archĂ©ologiques

Increased hand washing reduces influenza virus surface contamination in Bangkok households, 2009â2010
Within a hand-washing clinical trial, we evaluated factors associated with fomite contamination in households with an influenza-infected child. Influenza virus RNA contamination was higher in households with low absolute humidity and in control households, suggesting that hand washing reduces surface contamination
