Maintaining a territory and being able to hunt are imperative for the success of African lion Panthera leo prides. We aimed to determine whether captiveorigin prides display similar territorial and hunting behaviour to wild lions. Behaviours and locations of two captive-origin prides and one wild pride were collected through direct observation. All prides established territories, and core areas corresponded to resource requirements. There was no evidence that pride origin affected territorial or hunting behaviour. Captive-origin prides exhibited behaviours that lead us to be optimistic about each pride's ability to establish and defend a territory successfully, and to hunt, following reintroduction.
Heritage Building Information Modeling (HBIM) focuses on the documentation and visualization of heritage properties which are confined in their permanent terrestrial space. This paper extended the concept of Heritage Building Information Modeling to the airspace above the sites. It presented a methodology for the 3D spatial visualisation of the aerial space controlled by anti-aircraft (AA) guns, taking into account the masking effects of the underlying terrain and the technological capabilities of the guns (rate of fire, projectile weight, etc.). The tool permits a nuanced analysis of the interplay between attacking aircraft and the siting of anti-aircraft guns and thus, allows for the analysis of the cultural landscape of World War II-era battle fields, which has to take into account the influence of aerial warfare. The applicability was illustrated by the case example of the Japanese WWII base on Kiska (Aleutian Islands).
URING the past five years the Department of Anatomy, University of Nebraska, has been particularly interested in cerebral morphology. We have had opportunity to study about one hundred and fifty brains collected from the material which has come through the usual channels to the department. From this material we have been able to collect a number of brains of Negroes with marked negroid characteristics. These have formed the basis of our racial comparison with the Caucasians until recently, when we secured several brains of Mexicans and one Indian. Doctor Keegan, who is interested with me in'this work, has reported his study of the Indian brain and has just completed, through the kindness of Dr. HrdliEka, the study of three other Indian brains.A review of the literature of cerebral anthropology would give one the impression that the field is an unprofitable one. Relatively little work of a truly anthropological character has been done, and in the light of our limited knowledge of morphology i t is premature to conclude that the brain presents no ethnic characteristics. At first one is inclined to ask why so much energy has been expended on craniology and the brain been so neglected. This is explained, howefer, when we consider that racial studies are of a very special type 2nd must be based on a thorough understanding of morphology. Ou: knowledge of the skull is relatively ancient; Galen gave a very satisfactory description and the work of Vesalius left little for later observers to add, while in the case of the brain, the first fact of cerebral localization was pointed out by Broca less than fifty years ago. Because of the'lack of understanding of the anatomical structure, brain studies have been largely empirical D
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
