Population data are presented for erosive arthritis, osteoarthritis, diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH), joint eburnation and dental injury in a fauna from Natural Trap Cave, Wyoming, represented by over thirty thousand bones from twenty-four different species. Erosive arthritis is limited to the bovids, Bison, Ovis and Bootherium. Erosive arthritis is also present in bison from th...

We describe a domain-specific method of adapting conditional random fields (CRFs) to morphosyntactic tagging of highly-inflectional languages. The solution involves extending CRFs with additional, position-wise restrictions on the output domain, which are used to impose consistency between the modeled label sequences and morphosyntactic analysis results both at the level of decoding and, more i...

Studying human behaviour in virtual environments provides extraordinary opportunities for a quantitative analysis of social phenomena with levels of accuracy that approach those of the natural sciences. In this paper we use records of player activities in the massive multiplayer online game Pardus over 1,238 consecutive days, and analyze dynamical features of sequences of actions of players. We...

Compared to aquatic ecosystems, limited information exists on organochlorine accumulation in terrestrial and this is specifically true for carnivores that have received attention terms of studies pollutant bioaccumulation. The African Leopard, Panthera pardus (Linnaeus, 1758), a popular focal species research by ethologists ecologists, but noticeable knowledge gap with regards toxicological asp...
