The assumption that large mamm al hunting and scavenging are economically advantageous to hominid foragers is examined in the light of data collected among the Hadza of northern...

Motor practice and neurophysiological adaptation in the cerebellum: a positron tomography study

We have used positron tomography (PET) to demonstrate that some parts of the motor system exhibit physiological adaptation during the repeated performance of a simple motor task...

Astronomical calibration of Oligocene--Miocene time

Lithological cyclicity was observed aboard the JOIDES RESOLUTION in sediment sequences recovered from the Ceara Rise during ODP Leg 154. Shipboard work led to the conclusion tha...

Temporal analysis of archived samples indicates marked genetic changes in declining North Sea cod (<i>Gadus morhua</i>)

Despite increasing evidence that current exploitation rates can contribute to shifts in life-history traits and the collapse of marine fish stocks, few empirical studies have in...

Confidence Sets for the Mean of a Multivariate Normal Distribution

SUMMARY An attempt is made to determine confidence sets for the mean of a multivariate normal distribution with known covariance matrix that take advantage of the fact that the ...
