The woody communities of seven of the most intact bottomland hardwood forests of southeastern Louisiana are described. The seven forests are on old levee ridges associated with past distributaries of the Mississippi River. The communities were divided by diameter size class into overstory (~10.0 cm dbh) and understory (3.0 cm 2 10.0 cm dbh). The overstory (27 species) and understory (24 species...

Punjabi Text Document Clustering is done by analyzing the sentence structure of similar documents sharing same topics and grouping them into clusters. The prevalent algorithms in this field utilize the vector space model which treats the documents as a bag of words. The meaning in natural language inherently depends on the word sequences which are overlooked and ignored while clustering. The cu...

In this study, we investigated how the extent of ripeness affects the yield of extract, total phenolics, total flavonoids, individual flavonols and phenolic acids in strawberry and mulberry cultivars from Pakistan. In strawberry, the yield of extract (%), total phenolics (TPC) and total flavonoids (TFC) ranged from 8.5-53.3%, 491-1884 mg gallic acid equivalents (GAE)/100 g DW and 83-327 mg cate...

I present the first behavioural study of natural populations of a Madagascan poison frog. Focal watches of marked individuals were conducted for 925 h, in five populations, across two seasons. Like the New World dendrobatids, these diurnal anurans eat ants and are aposematically coloured. Data are presented that provide additional instances of convergence with the dendrobatids, including (1) ex...
