(The Open University, 2016)What makes a ‘nation’ and what makes peoples strive for nationhood? This unit will provide you with an introduction to studying political ideas by looking at how people who see themselves as nations challenge the existing ... -
Native Peoples of North America
(Open SUNY Textbooks, 2013)Native Peoples of North America is intended to be an introductory text about the Native peoples of North America (primarily the United States and Canada) presented from an anthropological perspective. As such, the text is ... -
Natural Resources Biometrics
(Open SUNY Textbooks, 2014)Chapter 1: Descriptive Statistics and the Normal Distribution. Chapter 2: Sampling Distributions and Confidence Intervals. Chapter 3: Hypothesis Testing. Chapter 4: Inferences about the Differences of Two Populations. ... -
Nearest neighbour clusters as a novel technique for assessing group associations
(2015)When all the individuals in a social group can be easily identified, one of the simplest measures of social interaction that can be recorded is nearest-neighbour identity. Many field studies use sequential scan samples of ... -
The need for speed
(2016)How do animals follow demarcated paths? Different species are sensitive to optic flow and one control solution is to maintain the balance of flow symmetry across visual fields however, it is unclear whether animals are ... -
Nest inundation from sea-level rise threatens sea turtle population viability
(2015)Contemporary sea-level rise will inundate coastal habitats with seawater more frequently, disrupting the life cycles of terrestrial fauna well before permanent habitat loss occurs. Sea turtles are reliant on low-lying ... -
Nest wax triggers worker reproduction in the bumblebee Bombus terrestris
(2016)Social insects are well known for their high level of cooperation. Workers of the primitively eusocial bumblebeeBombus terrestris are able to produce male offspring in the presence of a queen. Nonetheless, they only compete ... -
A new Early Oligocene toothed ‘baleen’ whale from western North America
(2015)Archaic toothed mysticetes represent the evolutionary transition from raptorial to bulk filter feeding in baleen whales. Aetiocetids, in particular, preserve an intermediate morphological stage in which teeth functioned ... -
New evidence on the tool assisted hunting exhibited by chimpanzees
(2015)For anthropologists, meat eating by primates like chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) warrants examination given the emphasis on hunting in human evolutionary history. As referential models, apes provide insight into the evolution ... -
New stopping criteria for iterative root finding
(2014)A set of simple stopping criteria is presented, which improve the efficiency of iterative root finding by terminating the iterations immediately when no further improvement of the roots is possible. The criteria use only ... -
The NGO Handbook
(Campus Manitoba, 2015)Have you ever seen a problem and wanted to do something about it? Of course you have. The schools, police, government welfare offices, churches and families aren’t handling it. Others share your concerns and want to do ... -
No early gender effects on energetic status and life history in a salmonid
(2015)Throughout an organism’s early development, variations in physiology and behaviours may have long lasting consequences on individual life histories. While a large part of variation in critical life-history transitions ... -

Nonlinear neutral inclusions
(2015)The problem of determining nonlinear neutral inclusions in (electrical or thermal) conductivity is considered. Neutral inclusions, inserted in a matrix containing a uniform applied electric field, do not disturb the field ... -
A note on improved F-expansion method combined with Riccati equation applied to nonlinear evolution equations
(2014)The purpose of this article is to present an analytical method, namely the improvedF-expansion method combined with the Riccati equation, for finding exact solutions of nonlinear evolution equations. The present method is ... -

A novel method of microsatellite genotyping-by-sequencing using individual combinatorial barcoding
(2016)This study examines the potential of next-generation sequencing based ‘genotyping-by-sequencing’ (GBS) of microsatellite loci for rapid and cost-effective genotyping in large-scale population genetic studies. The recovery ... -
A Novel Omnidirectional Stereo Vision System with a Single Camera
(INTECH Open Access Publisher, 2007)Wide field of view is the most attractive feature of the omnidirectional vision. There exist two approaches to omnidirectional stereo imaging with a single camera. They use: (1) a double lobed mirror (Fiala & Basu, ... -
