The purpose of this article was to identify how intertextuality in the novel “Small Island” (2004) by British writer Andrea Levy (1956–2019) contributes representation postcolonial issues. To solve research problems, we applied cultural-historical, comparative, biographical methods literary analysis. considers appeal poem “Daffodils” William Wordsworth allows contemporary criticise anglicised s...

Boa constrictors inhabiting islands off the coast of Belize have been historically collected for the pet trade, and enthusiasts have described these as a dwarfed race. Additionally, it has been suggested that these boas feed on birds, yet no dietary data are available. I initiated a mark-recapture study of five Belizean island populations and have accumulated data on mainland individuals to des...

the distal third of the tibia, ankle and heel area is difficult to reconstruct. for small to medium size defects, local flaps are often an easier alternative than free flap. in lower limb surgery, the sural flap is based on this principle and this flap is becoming increasingly popular. the distally based superficial sural artery flap, first described as a distally based neuro skin flap by masqu...

The equilibrium shape of a monatomic strained island on a substrate depends on the step free energies and the difference in surface stress between the island and the substrate. For small island sizes the step free energies dominate, resulting in compact islands. Beyond a critical island size, however, the strain energy becomes dominant and the island maximizes its perimeter, resulting in elonga...
