The seedlings and saplings plant stage determines the successional stages in secondary forest establishment process. estimation on aboveground biomass (AGB) of seedling sapling plants is needed to describe undergrowth's contribution forest. This study's objective was develop allometric equations for accurate AGB for seedlings-saplings 10 20 years old forests. study carried out at sites with ...

In a series of animals being studied for motor performance after parietal area ablations (earlier communications2 with Dr. M. A. Kennard) skin temperature readings were taken from the extremities with the intention of studying these preparations further. Significant, sometimes wide, differences in skin temperature were obtained in these parietal preparations. It was decided, therefore, to explo...

Piscivory has independently evolved numerous times amongst snakes, and therefore these animals provide a powerful opportunity to test for convergent evolution in a vertebrate feeding system. In this study, we integrate performance trials with comparative methods to test the hypothesis that piscivory drives convergence in trophic morphology and feeding performance among natricine snakes. Within ...

This paper focuses on the creativity of the patient in analysis and compares it to that of the artist. Taking artists’ descriptions of their practices as its starting point, the paper suggests that the relationship between patient and analyst parallels that between artist and medium. Psychoanalysis and artistic process can both be seen in terms of a complex interplay between oneness and separat...
