Abandon Statistical Significance
We discuss problems the null hypothesis significance testing (NHST) paradigm poses for replication and more broadly in the biomedical and social sciences as well as how these problems remain unresolved by proposals involving modified p-value thresholds, confidence intervals, and Bayes factors. We then discuss our own proposal, which is to abandon statistical significance. We recommend dropping the NHST paradigm—and the p-value thresholds intrinsi…
Holocene Lakes from Ramlat as-Sab'atayn (Yemen) Illustrate the Impact of Monsoon Activity in Southern Arabia
Paleoecology and paleohydrology of the Ramlat as-Sab'atayn (Southern Arabia) are reconstructed from a comparative study including sedimentology, mineralogy, stable isotope ratios of carbonates, and palynology of lacustrine sediments recovered from the al-Hawa depression. The section dates from 8700 to 7200 yr B.P. and records an early phase of flooding followed by distinct lacustrine development from 7800 to 7200 yr B.P., coeval with maximum acti…
Paléolacs et peuplements holocènes du Yémen
The surveys in the Ramlat as-Sabat'ayn started in 1983 and several prehistoric periods have been recognized from the Lower Palaeolithic up to the Bronze Age according to the lithic industry and to many structures. Only one period could accurately be dated about 7,500 BP through the discovery of a paleolake, which corresponds to the early Holocene and which is related to the period of climatic improvement resulting from the intensification of the …
Paleoclimatic Record of a Long Deep Sea Core from the Eastern Mediterranean
A deep-sea core over 16 m long from the crestal area of the Mediterranean Ridge has been investigated with different techniques, including quantitative micropaleontology, stable isotopes (measured on the epipelagic species Globigerinoides ruber and on the mesopelagic species Globorotalia inflata ), and clay mineralogy. The resulting record of climatic fluctuations can be cross correlated to other Mediterranean cores by means of isochronous lithol…
