This paper addresses and resolves an interesting question concerning the reason for anthropomorphic user interface feedback being more effective (in two of three contexts) and preferred by users compared to an equivalent non-anthropomorphic feedback....

Boubli (Eds.), Tropical fruits and frugivores : the search for strong interactors (59-73). Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/1-4020-3833-X_4

Several factors such as rainfall, primary productivity, and plant species richness have been hypothesized to affect consumer species richness, possibly explaining differences in species richness among communities and on different continents. Primary... Read More about Floristics, primary productivity and primate diversity in Amazonia : contrasting a eutrophic várzea forest and an oligotrophic caatinga forest in Brazil.

Grammars have been shown to be a very useful way to model biological sequences families. As both the quantity of biological sequences and the complexity of the biological grammars increase, generic and efficient methods for parsing are needed. We con...
