I am also interested in evolutionary ecology and artificial life. Relevant skills I have wide experience of spatial modelling of ecological problems including predator-prey systems, using probabilistic cellular automata with both local and global rules, their approximations using Markov chains and statistical models, and parameterization of spatial models using published data. I have developed a number of Windows programs using object-oriented Turbo Pascal for Windows, and I now program mainly in C (DOS, UNIX and X Window), as well as FORTRAN and BASIC. I am familiar with SPSS for Windows, Maple, Excel, Word for Windows, Netscape, Idealist (free text database), Slidewrite and Cricket Graph (graph drawing software). I have also worked with a number of other software packages including SAS, Latex, Xfig and Gnuplot. I have used a wide variety of statistical methods including analysis of variance and covariance, regression and multiple regression, loglinear models and a range of nonparametric techniques. I have some experience of field entomology, mainly with Drosophila and insects associated with fresh water. I am familiar with the experimental techniques needed to work with laboratory aquatic microcosms (bacteria, algae, protozoa, microcrustacea, rotifers, and Hydra). I have experience of collecting, identifying and experimenting with a wide range of freshwater invertebrates, and have also worked with lichens. I have reviewed a book chapter manuscript, and a manuscript for The American Naturalist. Publications Spencer, M.

I worked on a collaborative project on spatial models of community assembly, with Kim Cuddington (University of Guelph, Canada), David Hiebeler (Cornell University, USA), Tim Keitt (University of New Mexico, USA) and Louise Matthews (University of Leeds, England). My contribution was to develop a spatial community assembly model for simple phytotelmata food webs, and use it to predict the effects of disturbance on community structure in tropical and temperate phytotelmata. This collaboration is ongoing and will lead to publication in a symposium volume. Education 1992-present: University of Sheffield. I submitted my PhD thesis on "The effects of habitat size on food web structure", supervised by Dr P.H. Warren on 1 August, and my viva will be on 24 November.

Description of the CNS Department: The Department of Cognitive and Neural Systems (CNS) provides advanced training and research experience for graduate students interested in the neural and computational principles, mechanisms, and architectures that underlie human and animal behavior, and the application of neural network architectures to the solution of technological problems. Students are trained in a broad range of areas concerning cognitive and neural systems, including vision and image processing; speech and language understanding; adaptive pattern recognition; cognitive information processing; self-organization; associative learning and long-term memory; computational neuroscience; nerve cell biophysics; cooperative and competitive network dynamics and short-term memory; reinforcement, motivation, and attention; adaptive sensory-motor control and robotics; active vision; and biological rhythms; as well as the mathematical and computational methods needed to support advanced modeling research and applications. The CNS Department awards MA, PhD, and BA/MA degrees. The CNS Department embodies a number of unique offerings. It has developed a curriculum that features 15 interdisciplinary graduate courses each of which integrates the psychological, neurobiological, mathematical, and computational information needed to theoretically investigate fundamental issues concerning mind and brain processes and the applications of neural networks to technology. Each course is typically taught once a week in the evening to make the program available to qualified students, including working professionals, throughout the Boston area. Nine additional research course are also offered. In these courses, one or two students meet regularly with one or two professors to pursue advanced reading and collaborative research. Students develop a coherent area of expertise by designing a program that includes courses in areas such as Biology, Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, and Psychology, in addition to courses in the CNS Department. The CNS Department prepares students for PhD thesis research with scientists in one of several Boston University research centers or groups, and with Boston-area scientists collaborating with these centers. The unit most closely linked to the department is the Center for Adaptive Systems (CAS). Students interested in neural network hardware work with researchers in CNS, the College of Engineering, and at MIT Lincoln Laboratory. Other research resources include distinguished research groups in neurophysiology, neuroanatomy, and neuropharmacology at the Medical School and the Charles River campus; in sensory robotics, biomedical engineering, computer and systems engineering, and neuromuscular research within the Engineering School; in dynamical systems within the Mathematics Department; in theoretical computer science within the Computer Science Department; and in biophysics and computational physics within the Physics Department. In addition to its basic research and training program, the Department offers a colloquium series, seminars, conferences, and special interest groups which bring many additional scientists from both experimental and theoretical disciplines into contact with the students. The CNS Department is moving in October, 1995 into its own new four-story building, which features a full range of offices, laboratories, classrooms, library, lounge, and related facilities for exclusive CNS use. 1995-96 CAS MEMBERS and CNS FACULTY: Jelle Atema Professor of Biology Director, Boston University Marine Program (BUMP) PhD, University of Michigan Sensory physiology and behavior Aijaz Baloch Research Associate of Cognitive and Neural Systems PhD, Electrical Engineering, Boston University Neural modeling of role of visual attention of recognition, learning and motor control, computational vision, adaptive control systems, reinforcement learning Helen Barbas Associate Professor, Department of Health Sciences, Boston University PhD, Physiology/Neurophysiology, McGill University Organization of the prefrontal cortex, evolution of the neocortex Jacob Beck Research Professor of Cognitive and Neural Systems PhD, Psychology, Cornell University Visual Perception, Psychophysics, Computational Models Daniel H.

Thank you. <----- Hi fellow 'netters, My name is Janet Dove and I recently started using a magazine subscription club in the USA that has a FREE 1 yr. magazine subscription deal with your first paid order- and I have been very pleased with them. They have over 1,500 different USA titles that they can ship to any country on a subscription basis. As for computer magazines from the USA, they more of a selection than I ever knew even existed. They have magazines for most every area of interest in their list of 1,500 titles. Within the USA, for their USA members, they are cheaper than all their competitors and even the publishers themselves. This is their price guarantee. Overseas, on the average, they are generally around one-fourth to one-half of what the newstands overseas charge locally for USA magazines. On some titles they are as little as one-tenth of what the newstands charge. They feel that mgazines should not be a luxury overseas. In the USA, people buy magazines and then toss them after reading them for just a few minutes or hours. They are so cheap in the USA! Well, this company would like to make it the same way for their overseas members. They are also cheaper than all their competitors in the USA and overseas, including the publishers themselves! This is their price guarantee. Around one-half their business comes from overseas, so they are very patient with new members who only speak limited English as a 2nd language. Their prices are so cheap because they deal direct with each publisher and cut-out all the middlemen. (More info follows below the "Request for more info form" below.) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ They will send you their DELUXE EMAIL CATALOGUE (around 525K-big and juicey) !)...if you completely fill out the form below. It has lists of all the freebies, lists of all the titles they sell, titles broken down by categories and detailed descriptions on nearly 1,200 of the titles that they sell. Please do not email me as I am just a happy customer and a *busy* student. I don't have time to even complete my thesis in time, let alone run my part-time software business! Please fill out the below form and fax it to them in the USA at 718-967-1144 (24 hrs. per day, 7 days a week), or smail it to them at the following address: Magazine Club Inquiry Center Att. Internet services dept. PO Box 120990 Staten Island NY 10312-0990 NOTE: for the fastest reply, please fax in the below form. If you do not have access to a fax at work or at home, then please send it in by smail (airmail). They will email you their FREE catalogue and complete info on how their club works within 1 business day of receiving your form.

All address changes and other customer service items can be initiated by you by email or phone, whichever is most convenient. They respond to all email within 1 business day of receipt. Step 5: all orders are acknowledged by formal computer printout/receipt by airmail (overseas) /first class mail (USA). *------------cut here-----------------------------------------------* REQUEST FOR MORE INFO: please return only this section via fax to: 718-967-1144 in the USA or via smail (airmail) to: Magazine Club Inquiry Center Att.

You can always manually spend a few minutes pasting the parts into one whole.}}} How did you hear about us (name of person who referred you or the area of the internet that you saw us mentioned in): Janet Dove's referral 101095 *------------cut here-----------------------------------------------* They guarantee to beat all their competitors' prices. Sometimes they are less than half of the next best deal I have been able to find and other times, just a little cheaper - but I have never found a lower rate yet. They assured me that if I ever do, they will beat it. They have been very helpful and helped me change my address from the USA to Finland and then back again when I moved last month. They are very knowledgeable about addressing mags worldwide. They have a deal where you can get a free 1 yr. sub to a new magazine from a special list of over 300 popular titles published in the USA. They will give you this free 1 yr. sub when you place your first paid order with them to a renewal or new subscription to any of the over 1,500 different popular USA titles they sell. They can arrange delivery to virtually any country and I think they have clients in around 35 or 36 countries now. Outside the USA there is a charge for foreign postage and handling (on both paid and freebie subs) that varies from magazine to magazine. I have found their staff to be very friendly and courteous. They even helped me with an address change when I moved from one country to another. The owner thinks of his service as a "club" and his clients as "members" (even though there is no extra fee to become a member - your first purchase automatically makes you a member) and he is real picky about who he accepts as a new member. When he sets you up as a new member, he himself calls you personally on the phone to explain how he works his deal, or sometimes he has one of his assistants call. He is kind of quirky sometimes - he insists on setting up new members by phone so he can say hi to everyone (I sure wouldn't want to have his phone bills!), but you can place future orders (after your first order) via E-mail. He has some really friendly young ladies working for him, who seem to know just as much as he does about this magazine stuff. If you live overseas, he will even call you there, as long as you are interested, but I think he still makes all his overseas calls on the weekends, I guess cause the long distance rates are cheaper then. He only likes to take new members from referrals from satisfied existing members and he does virtually no advertising. When I got set-up, they had a 2-3 week waiting list for new members to be called back so that they could join up. (Once you are an existing member, they help you immediately when you call. ) I think they are able to get back to prospective new members the same day or within a few days now, as they have increased their staff. I am not sure about this.........but if you email the above form to them, that is the way to get started! They will send you some FREE info. via E-mail (the short version (around 40K) of their catalogue, or if you request it the DELUXE LONG VERSION (around 400K-big and juicey) !)...if you fill out the form near the top of this message. They then send you email that outlines how his club works and the list of free choices that you can choose from, as well as the entire list of what he sells; and then they will give you a quick (3-5 minute) friendly, no-pressure no-obligation call to explain everything to you personally and answer all your questions. Once you get in, you'll love them. I do. For more info, please fill out the above form and fax it to them in the USA at 718-967-1144 (24 hrs. per day, 7 days a week), or smail it to them at the following address: Magazine Club Inquiry Center Att. Internet services dept. PO Box 120990 Staten Island NY 10312-0990 Sincerely, Janet Dove ps. please forward a copy of this message to all your friends on the net who you think might be interested in it! It is a great deal! If you join and then they join after you, you will earn a free 1 yr. subscription for each new person you get to join after you join! Please make sure to mention my name when you join. I will get a free magazine for a year for referring you. Thanks. Here are just some of the titles that they carry............ 99% are available outside the USA to *all* countries. They can make special shipping arrangements for adult magazines to countries in Asia where they are normally very difficult to obtain.

I downloaded the press release from the U.S. Newswire BBS in Maryland at (410) 363-0834. I do not work for the Population Reference Bureau; please contact it directly if you have questions. India's Population Expanding Despite Dramatic Fertility Declines Contact: Mary Kent of Population Reference Bureau, 202-483-1100 WASHINGTON, Oct. 5 -- India is experiencing a dramatic decline in birth rates, according to a study released today by the Population Reference Bureau, a nonprofit, nonadvocacy educational organization. "India appears to be in the midst of a fundamental transition to lower fertility and mortality," reported authors Leela Visaria and Pravin Visaria, two distinguished Indian demographers. Average fertility fell from more than 5.3 children per woman in 1970 to 3.6 children in 1992. Over the same period, life expectancy at birth rose from roughly 50 years to about 60 years. "While many signs point to a continued decline in India's fertility rate, the momentum of growth built into the young age distribution of the population is tremendous....The slowdown in growth will be barely perceptible over the short term -- the horizon of concern to most policymakers and political leaders." India -- with a population of 931 million -- adds 17 million people to the world each year, more than any other country. Thirty-six percent of Indians are under age 15. "Even if the average number of children per woman falls substantially lower," the study observes, "the young age structure will generate continued growth for decades as successively larger numbers of Indians enter their childbearing years. The annual number of births is projected to rise from 25 million to 30 million between 1991 and 2001 even though the birth rate is expected to fall further." India's fertility decline was fostered by social and economic changes, including later marriages, increased literacy, urbanization, industrialization and the communications and technology revolutions. India's controversial family planning program also contributed to the decline. Further fertility declines, however, will hinge on enhancing the status of women in India. Nearly two-thirds of women cannot read or write compared with about one-third of men. Sons are still preferred over daughters. "This male preference promotes subtle, and occasionally severe, neglect of female infants, especially in poor families." New population policies could expand family planning use and enhance the status of women, leading to further fertility declines, the authors conclude. Leela Visaria and Pravin Visaria are at the Gujarat Institute for Development Research in Ahmedabad, India. Copies of the report may be purchased for $8 from PRB by calling 800-877-9881 or 202-483-1100. -30- From owner-population-bio@net.bio.net Fri Oct 20 23:00:00 1995 Path: biosci!agate!howland.reston.ans.net!newsfeed.internetmci.com!news.sprintlink.net!in1.uu.net!news.ultranet.com!usenet From: Marc Andelman Newsgroups: bionet.population-bio Subject: Gorilla X Human cross Date: 21 Oct 1995 19:48:39 GMT Organization: UltraNet Communications, Inc.

I am also interested in evolutionary ecology and artificial life. Relevant skills I have wide experience of spatial modelling of ecological problems including predator-prey systems, using probabilistic cellular automata with both local and global rules, their approximations using Markov chains and statistical models, and parameterization of spatial models using published data. I have developed a number of Windows programs using object-oriented Turbo Pascal for Windows, and I now program mainly in C (DOS, UNIX and X Window), as well as FORTRAN and BASIC. I am familiar with SPSS for Windows, Maple, Excel, Word for Windows, Netscape, Idealist (free text database), Slidewrite and Cricket Graph (graph drawing software). I have also worked with a number of other software packages including SAS, Latex, Xfig and Gnuplot. I have used a wide variety of statistical methods including analysis of variance and covariance, regression and multiple regression, loglinear models and a range of nonparametric techniques. I have some experience of field entomology, mainly with Drosophila and insects associated with fresh water. I am familiar with the experimental techniques needed to work with laboratory aquatic microcosms (bacteria, algae, protozoa, microcrustacea, rotifers, and Hydra). I have experience of collecting, identifying and experimenting with a wide range of freshwater invertebrates, and have also worked with lichens. I have reviewed a book chapter manuscript, and a manuscript for The American Naturalist. Publications Spencer, M. and Warren, P.H.

Work in progress I recently attended the Woods Hole Summer School: Food webs in terrestrial, freshwater and marine systems (June-July 1995). I worked on a collaborative project on spatial models of community assembly, with Kim Cuddington (University of Guelph, Canada), David Hiebeler (Cornell University, USA), Tim Keitt (University of New Mexico, USA) and Louise Matthews (University of Leeds, England). My contribution was to develop a spatial community assembly model for simple phytotelmata food webs, and use it to predict the effects of disturbance on community structure in tropical and temperate phytotelmata. This collaboration is ongoing and will lead to publication in a symposium volume. Education 1992-present: University of Sheffield. I submitted my PhD thesis on "The effects of habitat size on food web structure", supervised by Dr P.H. Warren on 1 August, and my viva will be on 24 November. The project involved a combination of literature data, simulation modelling using cellular automata, laboratory aquatic microcosm experiments and field experiments with freshwater organisms. 1989-1992: University of Leeds.

I used population estimates for the past and assumed an increasing longevity and increasing reproductive age. So the estimate should be pretty conservative. I am not sure if the calculation is scientiffically sound, but the dimension should be correct.
