Loudness also changes with the listener’s cognitive state. Loudness provides a basic reference for graduate students, consultants, clinicians,...

Primate locomotion has typically been studied from two points of view. Laboratory-based researchers have focused on aspects like biomechanics and energetics, whereas field-based researchers have focused on (locomotor) behaviour and ecology. Unfortunately, to date, there is relatively little scientific exchange between both groups. With a book, which will be the result of a symposium on the 2008 Meeting of the International Primatological Society in Edinburgh, we would like to bring togethe...

The non-A, non-B hepatitis was further divided into post-transfusion n...
