The Indian subcontinent has two distinct sub species of crows namely Jungle (Corvus macrorhynchos culminatus) and House crow (Corvus splendens protegatus). The current study depicted the interactions between the Jungle and the house crows while foraging food. Sites for the investigation were the areas recently depleted or cultivated with forest or grassland and recently urbanized towns, which p...

Weed suppression is one of the several benefits achieved by soil incorporation of crop residues and such suppression is believed to be allelopathic in nature. The allelopathic potential of different crop residues: viz. sorghum (Sorghum bicolor [L.] Moench), sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.), brassica (Brassica campestris L.) was evaluated in rice (Oryza sativa L.) and jungle rice (Echinochloa co...

After more than four years of incubation within the W3C, XQuery 1.0 is close to completion. Even before its official release, development of numerous XQuery implementations is underway. However, those implementations have either focused on completeness or performance at the expense of the other. In this paper, we report on our experience building Jungle, a secondary storage manager for Galax. W...

Jungles generalize trees by sharing subtrees and allowing garbage. It is shown that IO context-free tree grammars generate the same jungle languages as context-free jungle grammars. Also, they define the same subsets of any algebra.

HE lack of an ancestral “standard of reference”, “normal” or “wild type” T for use in genetic studies of the domestic fowl has been of little concern to many poultry geneticists (for a recent discussion of this topic see JAAP and HOLLANDER 1954). In the field of plumage color inheritance, however, a standard of reference seems necessary in describing the action of mutant genes. What the standar...

The jungle crow (Corvus macrorhynchos) distribution stretches from eastern Eurasia continent to southeastern Asia. The distribution of the black-billed magpie (Pica pica sericea) stretches from Korea and China to the Kyushu area in Japan. They are both in the Family, Corvidae, and have iridescent feather colors, but the iridescent feather color of the black-billed magpie is more remarkable than...

BACKGROUND Dengue fever is a mosquito-borne disease that affects between 50 and 100 million people each year. Increasing our understanding of the heterogeneous transmission patterns of dengue at different spatial scales could have considerable public health value by guiding intervention strategies. METHODS Based on the weekly number of dengue cases in Perú by province, we investigated the ass...
