7 Henderson, Thomas C.Video based animal behavior analysisIt has become increasingly popular to study animal behaviors with the assistance of video recordings. The traditional way to do this is to first videotape the animal for a period of time, and then a human observer watches the video and records the behaviors of the animal manually. This is a time ...Hidden Markov Model; HMM; Animal Behavior Analysis2006-06-06
8 Clayton, Dale H.Influence of bill shape on ectoparasite load in Western Scrub-JaysPopulations of the Western Scrub-Jay (Aphelocoma californica) have bills specialized for feeding in their respective habitats. Populations in oak habitat have hooked bills, whereas those in pinyon habitat have pointed bills with a reduced maxillary overhang. Work on other bird species shows that the...Ectoparasite load; Bill shape; Aphelocoma californica2002

11 Li, MinqiChinas grain production: a decade of consecutive growth or stagnation?Some progressive writers have argued that while China's agricultural privatization achieved short-term gains, it did so by undermining longterm production facilities such as the infrastructure and public services built in the socialist era.1 Environmental scholars have questioned the sustainability ...2014-01-01
12 Thomas, Kirk R.; Capecchi, Mario R.Maintenance of functional equivalence during paralogous Hox gene evolution.Biological diversity is driven mainly by gene duplication followed by mutation and selection. This divergence in either regulatory or protein-coding sequences can result in quite different biological functions for even closely related genes. This concept is exemplified by the mammalian Hox gene comp...Alleles; Animals; Cervical Vertebrae; Embryo; Genetic Complementation Test; Homeodomain Proteins; Homozygote; Mice2000-02-10

14 Coley, Phyllis D.Benefits and costs of defense in a neotropical shrubBenefits and costs are central to optimality theories of plant defense. Benefit is the gain in fitness to reducing herbivory and cost is the loss in fitness to committing resources to defense. We evaluate the benefits and costs of defense in a neotropical shrub, Psychotria horizontalis. Plants were ...Cost of defense; Growth-defense trade-off; Exclosures; Field experiment; Herbivory; Panama; Psychotria horizontalis; Rubiaceae; Tannins; Toughness; Tropics1995
15 Miller, Jan D.Development and application of centrifugal flotation systems in wastewater treatmentFlotation as a wastewater treatment technique is designed to remove all particles generally encountered as very fine emulsions, suspended solids, and colloids from wastewater. Historically, Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) has been used to achieve this removal. More recently, other flotation techniques...Wastewater treatment; Centrifugal flotation; Liquid cyclone mixing; Hybrid centrifugal dissolved-air flotation; ASH; BAF; GEM; FF2007
16 Riloff, Ellen M.Learning and evaluating the content and structure of a term taxonomyIn this paper, we describe a weakly supervised bootstrapping algorithm that reads Web texts and learns taxonomy terms. The bootstrapping algorithm starts with two seed words (a seed hypernym (Root concept) and a seed hyponym) that are inserted into a doubly anchored hyponym pattern. In alternatin...Weakly supervised; Bootstrapping algorithm; Seed hypernym; Seed hyponym; Root concept; Term taxonomy; Learning by reading systems2009
17 Flynn, John J.Trends in federal antitrust doctrine suggesting future directions for state antitrust enforcementState antitrust policy, in the form of constitutional provisions, statutes, and common law decisions, has been with us for decades.1 Originally hamstrung by restrictive court decisions fencing off state jurisdiction from commerce that was "interstate,"2 state antitrust enforcement enjoyed many years...Antitrust enforcement1979
18 Miller, Jan D.New developments in mixing, flocculation and flotation for industrial wastewater pretreatment and municipal wastewater treatmentSolid/liquid separations are commonly the first step in any wastewater treatment.
