The proposal that the concept of innateness expresses a ‘folk biological’ theory of the ‘inner natures’ of organisms was tested by examining the response of biologically naive participants to a series of realistic scenarios concerning the development of birdsong. Our results explain the intuitive appeal of many of the existing philosophical analyses of the innateness concept. They simultaneousl...

?Gazette of 2nd September, 1872, page 210) drawn attention to the subject of extending vernacular medical education in this ?country, I think we might with advantage discuss here another question?and one of some magnitude too?which is intimately connected with this. I mean the question of improving tho quality of that education ; for if this be found wanting, tho great object of our having expe...

In this paper, we introduce a semantic modeling project by implementing a southeast China vernacular urban modeling system. This system converts the basic modeling components of geometry units (e.g. point, line, triangle etc.) into the semantic components (e.g. street, block, patch, house etc.). To implement the urban modeling system semantically, an XML based description and DTD[31] based veri...

Mangroves are among the most well described and widely studied wetland communities in the world. The greatest threats to mangrove persistence are deforestation and other anthropogenic disturbances that can compromise habitat stability and resilience to sea-level rise. To persist, mangrove ecosystems must adjust to rising sea level by building vertically or become submerged. Mangroves may direct...

We propose a simple, yet expressive proof representation from which proofs for different proof assistants can easily be generated. The representation uses only a few inference rules and is based on a fragment of first-order logic called coherent logic. Coherent logic has been recognized by a number of researchers as a suitable logic for many everyday mathematical developments. The proposed proo...

June last, we showed that the classes had, during the last ten years, undergone a very remarkable development. The increase has been more rapid and embarrassing in the Bengali class than in the English; the numbers in the one case having, during the period in question, undergone nearly a five-fold increase, and in the other, rather less than a three-fold. The Military or Hindustani class has no...
