Parrots of the genus Amazona are among the most threatened species of the Order Pscittaciformes.This work describes allozyme polymorphisms in three Amazon parrot species - the Blue-fronted Amazon (Amazona aestiva), the Orange-winged Amazon (Amazona amazonica), and the Festive Amazon (Amazona festiva) -, and provides useful data for the evaluation o
The study attempts to propose a syntactic account of bi-comparatives in Mandarin Chinese under the generative framework.Bi plays a role reminiscent of a prepositional complementizer projecting a self-completed clause (Hsing 2003, Chung 2006), a preverbal adjunct in the wake of Liu (1996).Following Abney (1987), Kennedy (1997), Kennedy & Merchant (1
Appropriate landfill site selection for disposal of solid waste is a very complicated assignment, as it needs Steam Iron multicriteria analysis of various parameters.In this study, we have used QGIS for identification of alternative landfill site in Gurugram district, a satellite city of New Delhi.Various criteria are analysed for selecting the lan
Miniaturized accelerometers with remote optical readout are required devices for the continuous monitoring Trinket Box of vibrations inside power generators.In turbo and hydro generators, end-winding vibrations are present during operation causing in the long term undesirable out-of-service repairs.Continuous monitoring of these vibrations is there
Chemical cues from predators induce a range of predator-induced morphological defences (PIMDs) observed across fish taxa.However, the mechanisms, consistency, direction and adaptive value of PIMDs are still poorly studied.Here, we have tested if predatory cues can induce changes in the body shape of the juvenile marine Steam Iron fish Sparus aurata
