Model-generation based theorem provers such as SATCHMO and MGTP suffer from a combinatorial explosion of the search space caused by clauses irrelevant to the goal (negative clause) to be solved. To avoid this, two typical methods have been proposed. One is relevancy testing implemented in SATCHMORE by Loveland et al., and the other is non-Horn magic sets that are the extension of Horn magic set...

The impact of hunting (selective harvest, trophy hunting) on the demography of mammals is well documented. However, despite continual year-round hunting of bison in some populations, little is known about how the behavior of survivors may be altered. Therefore, in this initial study, we used focal-animal observations in adjacent populations of continually hunted and protected Plains bison (Biso...

Hunting is one of the human activities that directly affect wildlife and has received increasing attention given its socioeconomic dimensions. Most studies have been conducted on coastal and wetland areas and showed that hunting activity can greatly affect bird behaviour and distribution. Hunting-free reserves for game species are zones where birds find an area of reduced disturbance. We evalua...

A magic square of order n is an n by n matrix with distinct nonnegative integer entries such that every row sum, column sum, and (two) diagonal sums equals to the same number m, the magic number. Adding 1 to every entry will give us a traditional magic square of positive integers. A magic square is pure if the entries are the consecutive numbers from 0 to n − 1, and hence it has magic number 3 ...

shikārnāmeh-ye malikshāhī (the malikshāhī book of hunting) which is also known as shikārnāmeh-ye khusrawī, is a book prepared in the 5th ah/11th ad century by malikshāh’s order and niẓām al-mulk’s patronage. the book’s actual redaction is due to abū al-ḥassan niyshābūrī. this book refers to many other books on falconry and hunting (bāznāmeh and shikārnāmeh) especially the translation of the “sh...

All known chimpanzee populations have been observed to hunt small mammals for meat. Detailed observations have shown, however, that hunting strategies differ considerably between populations, with some merely collecting prey that happens to pass by while others hunt in coordinated groups to chase fast-moving prey. Of all known populations, Taï chimpanzees exhibit the highest level of cooperatio...

Over the course of nineteenth century, literary manuscripts came to be seen as tangible evidence creative process and a key personality author. The material traces writing were understood outlive their creators promise resurrect authorial body through magic relic. This article reconstructs how script gradually transformed into collectible object pursued memento commodity. Letters, drafts, fair ...

Understanding the spatial dimensions of hunting and prey population dynamics is important in order to estimate the sustainability of hunting in tropical forests. We investigated how hunting offtake of vertebrates differed in mixed forest and monodominant forest (composed of Gilbertiodendron dewevrei) and over different spatial extents within the hunting catchment around the logging town of Kabo...
