In a 1945 monograph, Hrdlička argued that, at 1,000 BP, Paleo-Aleut people on Umnak Island were replaced by NeoAleut groups moving west along the island chain. His argument was based on cranial measurements of skeletal remains from Chaluka Midden and mummified remains from Kagamil and Ship Rock burial caves. By the 1980s, researchers had concluded that the transition demonstrated by Hrdlička, f...

processing of minerals and production of metals has increased greatly in recent years. as a result, the quantities of waste material and pollutants have also increased. in many cases technology has changed to cope with the problem. processes have been either modified to decrease emissions, or replaced by others that are less polluting even if at a higher cost. this paper briefly reviews example...

Technical description: Trophophore stalk 03 cm, 0-1.5 times length of trophophore rachis; blade dull to bright green to whitish green, linear to ovate oblong to oblong to fully triangular with pinnae arranged ternately, simple to 2(-3) pinnate, to 7 x 0.2 cm, fleshy to thin, papery or herbaceous.

Scilla vardaria Yıldırım & Gemici (Asparagaceae) is described as a new species. Diagnostic morphological characters, a full description and detailed illustrations are provided on the basis of the type specimen and observations of wild populations. The new species is characterized by the conical floral corona structure formed by fusion of its filaments, with anthers arising almost at the floral ...

The localization of graphical primitives is important task in image processing. This paper discusses problems of automatic computer-based detection and localization of elementary shape in image. A genetic algorithm is used for this task. The using of genetic algorithm allows efficiently reduce time needed to scan a task state space. A modification of genetic algorithm for shape detection is pre...
