Pleistocene Small Mammals from Some Karstic Fillings of Slovenia - Preliminary Results

From Features to Semantics: Some Preliminary Results

In this paper, we present the results of a project that seeks to transform low-level features to a higher level of meaning. This project concerns a technique, latent semantic analysis (LSA), which has been used for full-text retrieval for many years. In this environment, LSA determines clusters of co-occurring keywords, sometimes, called concepts, so that a query which uses a particular keyword...

Microfaunal remains at Middle Pleistocene Qesem Cave, Israel: Preliminary results on small vertebrates, environment and biostratigraphy.

Preliminary results of the investigation of the microfauna at the Acheulo-Yabrudian Middle Pleistocene site of Qesem Cave, Israel, are presented. Thus far the assemblage includes ca. 10,000 bone and tooth fragments, of which 50% could be identified to the generic and some hundreds to the species level. Based on the current material, the fauna includes the following squamate reptiles: Laudakia s...

Hematologic data on some small mammals.

By \V. C. YOUAYr, L. D. FAY, D. L. HowE AND H. D. HARTE K NOWLEDGE of the normal physiology of the various species of wild animals is essential for the study of disease, nutrition, reproduction and related subjects bearing on the scientific management of game animals. In the course of our work on disease and nutrition in game species we have frequently been hampered by a lack of information on ...

Synchronous extinction of North America's Pleistocene mammals.

The late Pleistocene witnessed the extinction of 35 genera of North American mammals. The last appearance dates of 16 of these genera securely fall between 12,000 and 10,000 radiocarbon years ago (approximately 13,800-11,400 calendar years B.P.), although whether the absence of fossil occurrences for the remaining 19 genera from this time interval is the result of sampling error or temporally s...
