One of the activities that geneticists pursue is the generation of genetic maps of organisms that chart the locations of the different genes on the chromosomes. Damodar Dharmanada Kosambi was not a geneticist by training and profession, but amathematician. Yet, in 1944, Kosambi wrote a classic paper about mapping function in genetics in the journal Annals of Eugenics. His lone paper in genetics was tilted ‘The estimation of map distance from recombination values’. The mapping function that Kosambi derived is still widely used by geneticists the world over for the mapping of genomes.

The fragile ecosystem of the Himalayas has been an increasing cause of concern to environmentalists and water resources planners. The steep slopes in the Himalayas along with depletedforest cover, as well as high seismicity have been major factors in soil erosion and sedimentation in river reaches. Prediction ofsoil erosion is a necessity if adequate provision is to be madein the design of conservation structures to offset the ill effects of sedimentation during their lifetime.In the present study, two different soil erosion models, i.e. theMorgan model and Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) model, have been used to estimate soil erosion from a Himalayan watershed.Parameters required for both models were generated using remotesensing and ancillary data in GIS mode. The soil erosion estimated by Morgan model is in the order of 2200 t km-2 yr-1 and is within the limits reported for this region.The soil erosion estimated by USLE gives a higher rate. Therefore, for the present study the Morgan model gives, for area located in hilly terrain, fairly good results.

8 Grammar and conversational principles' Ruth Kempson . 1. Preliminaries: truth-conditional semantics and the semantics-pragmatics distinction In this chapter we turn to the relation between properties of grammar and principles of conversation. There are two assumptions which ...

Marine turtles are visual animals, yet we know remarkably little about how they use this sensory capacity. In this study, our purpose was to determine whether loggerhead turtles could discriminate between objects on the basis of color. We used light-adapted hatchlings to determine the minimum intensity of blue (450 nm), green (500 nm), and yellow (580 nm) visual stimuli that evoked a positive phototaxis (the phototaxis "threshold" [pt]). Juvenile turtles were later trained to associate each color (presented at 1 log unit above that color's pt) with food, then to discriminate between two colors (the original rewarded stimulus plus one of the other colors, not rewarded) when both were presented at 1 log unit above their pt. In the crucial test, turtles were trained to choose between the rewarded and unrewarded color when the colors varied in intensity. All turtles learned that task, demonstrating color discrimination. An association between blue and food was acquired in ...
