HBCBH and HAlCAlH are related electrondeficient molecules, predicted as local minima on their respective potential energy surfaces. Different views of their electronic structure—as allenes, carbenes, or carbones—prompted two research groups to a friendly competition exploring the predilection of these small molecules to dimerize. Many such dimers emerged from the calculations, some with large e...

The intense arousal and excitement shown by adult male chimpanzees, Pan troglodytes, during territorial attacks on other chimpanzees and predation upon monkeys suggest that similar psychological mechanisms may be involved. Specifically, it has been proposed that hunting behaviour in chimpanzees evolved from intraspecies aggression. Over 32 years, chimpanzees at Gombe National Park, Tanzania wer...

Bushmeat hunting is extensive in west and central Africa as both a means for subsistence and for commercial gain. Commercial hunting represents one of the primary threats to wildlife in the region, and confounding factors have made it challenging to examine how external factors influence the commercial bushmeat trade. Bioko Island, Equatorial Guinea is a small island with large tracts of intact...

In order to prevent unpleasant incidents, preservation high-speed railway vehicle stability has vital importance. For this purpose, railway vehicle is modeled using a 38-DOF. This paper presents an investigation on limit cycle and bifurcation of high speed railway behavior. It is revealed that the critical hunting speed decreases by increasing the wheel conicity. Also the critical hunting speed...

Contrary to what was said at the Environment Committee hearing on March 22nd, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) do not recommend hunting to control Lyme disease. If one scours the CDC web pages on Lyme disease, many recommendations are given about how to prevent Lyme disease, but there is no mention of hunting in the CDC web page text, nor any recommendation for hunting 1 .
