Estuaries, compared to offshore waters, are often characterized as habitats in which the biomass of aquatic organisms is high but their diversity is low. Standard reference works [e.g. (Kinne, 1971)] and textbooks on estuarine ecology [e.g. (Day et al., 1989)] present inverse relationships between species abundance and salinity, typically for benthic invertebrates. Variability of the environmen...

As Frans de Waal has noted in his books about apes and people, however, the bonobo is much less studied than the chimpanzee. Apart from their late discovery (in 1929) and more limited range, the free-loving lifestyle of the bonobos...

Humans are remarkably adept at recognizing individuals by their faces1, an ability that may rely on specialized neural circuits. Findings from brain-damaged ‘prosopagnosic’ patients with deficient face processing2–7 as well as physiological data from nonhuman primates8 have now been supplemented by functional imaging. Certain ventral occipito-temporal areas of the human brain, centered around t...

A Combinatorial Deenition of Baez-dolan !-categories

We give a new combinatorial deenition of a sort of weak !-category originally devised by J. Baez and J. Dolan in nite dimensional cases. Our deenition is a mixture of both inductive and coinductive deenitions, and suitable for`computational category theory.'
