Diet of Rana cancrivora in fresh water and brackish water environments

Abstract: Rana cancrivora Gravenhorst inhabits both fresh water and brackish water swamps and ditches in Singapore. Food items in the gut of frogs from both habitats have been examined. The diet of frogs collected near brackish water was predominantly crustacean and included crabs (Sesarma spp.), while the diet of those collected near fresh water comprised mainly insects. Gut contents of frogs included all the small animal species found in the respective environments, the choice of prey appearing to be limited only by size.

Reviews : Reading Comprehension at the College Level

Abstract: some experiments carried out on several groups of pre-University students in India to measure their reading skills, is interspersed with remarks on remedial reading and concludes with some more observations on the teaching and testing of reading. Part Three is a discussion of English as a ’library language’ and its implications for language teaching. Some 55 pages of appendices follow, consisting of graphs and tabulated scores of the experiments, specimen reading materials, reading comprehension tests and the Diagnostic Test and Scores on Vocabulary.

Charge transfer in diffractive excitation models

Abstract: We have calculated the charge transfer distributions and its dispersions in single and double diffractive excitation models and compared them with experimental results of pp collisions at 205 GeV/c. The double diffractive excitation model is closer to the experimental data, but we like to emphasize that, on the basis of diffractive excitation models alone, it is impossible to explain the overall charge transfer in multiparticle reactions.
