The Neural Basis of Echolocation in Bats

The Neural Basis of Echolocation in Bats

George D. Pollak; John H. Casseday

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH Co. K
2011
nidottu
The brain of an echo locating bat is devoted, in large part, to analyzing sound and conducting behavior in a world of sounds and echoes. This monograph is about analysis of sound in the brainstem of echolocating bats and concerns the relationship between brain structure and brain function. Echolocating bats are unique subjects for the study of such relationships. Like man, echolocating bats emit sounds just for the purpose of listening to them. Simply by observing the bat's echolocation sounds, we know what the bat listens to in nature. We therefore have a good idea what the bat's auditory brain is designed to do. But this alone does not make the bat unique. The brain of the bat is, by mammalian standards, rather primitive. The unique aspect is the combination of primitive characteristics and complex auditory processing. Within this small brain the auditory structures are hypertrophied and have an elegance of organization not seen in other mammals. It is as if the auditory pathways had evolved while the rest of the brain remained evolutionary quiescent.

The Texture of Essays Written by Basic Writers: Diné and Anglo

The Texture of Essays Written by Basic Writers: Diné and Anglo

George Ann Gregory Ph. D.

Independently Published
2019
nidottu
This exploratory study comprises a statistical analysis of style factors discriminating between compositions written by basic writers from two different language groups: Anglo (a reference to the language and European American English speakers) and Din (Navajo-English bilinguals). The current study included 62 essays and was limited to non-introspective topics. A multi-variate statistical approach revealed three underlying textual factors that discriminate between these compositions. While using a limited sample, the findings indicate that the texture of compositions by Din is dominated by attributes of traditional Din bizaad rhetoric, or the rhetoric of the Navajo language. On the other hand, the texture of compositions written by Anglos is dominated by generic written elaboration. These findings correspond with previous impressionistic teacher observations and analysis of compositions of these two groups. While language uses have changed since the date of this study, there are still echoes of traditional Native American rhetoric heard today, suggesting a need for additional study about how rhetorical uses of language change and are preserved.

The Politics of the Caribbean Basin Sugar Trade

The Politics of the Caribbean Basin Sugar Trade

Georges A. Fauriol; Scott Macdonald

Praeger Publishers Inc
1991
sidottu
Growing global interdependence made the 1970s and 1980s a volatile period in the sugar trade at a time when Caribbean countries, while not the major world producers of sugar, were economically dependent on their sugar exports. Since then, government farm supports and quotas on imported sugar in the United States, overproduction in developing countries, and the emergence of a highly protected European Community sugar industry have all served to make the sugar trade a highly political global issue. This study focuses on the evolution of the U.S.--Caribbean Basin sugar trade in the 1980s and its impact on political relations between the countries involved. According to the authors, the sugar trade was not driven by laws of supply and demand, but by various political agendas. Economic protectionism, government subsidies for inefficient elements of the sugar industry, as well as corruption and mismanagement have contributed to the Byzantine politics of the sugar trade. Now the United States needs to determine how lifting quotas and terminating subsides will affect this complex relationship. By providing an in-depth look at the development of current policies in the sugar trade, this book offers the necessary background for making informed policy decisions.After examining the U.S. sugar policy from 1974 to 1989, the book provides a broader Latin American perspective of U.S. and European Community sugar policies. It also offers subregional and country analyses covering the Commonwealth Caribbean, Central America, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, and Panama. Despite the difficulty of competing against the United States and Europe, Caribbean and Central American countries are likely to continue to depend on sugar cane. Climactic and ecological factors make agricultural diversification extremely difficult. Some Caribbean and Central American producers have considered making ethanol automobile fuel from sugar, but here too they face protectionist pressure from U.S. producers of corn. Given current political realignments, the authors predict that the influence of the United States and the Soviet Union will diminish in the 1990s. The European Community, on the other hand, is likely to have greater influence on the inter-American sugar trade. Students of Latin American politics and international relationships, as well as those involved in the sugar industry or the policies affecting it, will find this book a valuable resource for future decisions.
