The cannibalism issue: structuralist and materialist interpretations and other concerns.
(Lambda Alpha Anthropology Honors Society at Wichita State University, 1988)The main issue involved in this paper is the character of the difference between the structuralist and cultural materialist schools concerning the nature and interpretation of cannibalism. -
Canopy gap regime as a function of woodland age in the Kansas Cross Timbers
(Springer Nature, 2019-09)Oaks (Quercus spp.) have low or intermediate shade-tolerances and forest canopy gaps can promote their regeneration. Current fire frequencies and/or intensities in eastern North America are less than they were historically, ... -

A capillary surface with no radial limits
(Pacific Journal of Mathematics, 2018)In 1996, Kirk Lancaster and David Siegel investigated the existence and behavior of radial limits at a corner of the boundary of the domain of solutions of capillary and other prescribed mean curvature problems with contact ... -
Capital budgeting and management practices: Smoothing out rough spots in government outlays
(Blackwell Publishing Inc., 2017-06-21)Public capital budgeting and management literature recommends long-term capital and fiscal planning practices to prevent large fluctuations in outlays caused by fiscal stresses. This study extends the literature by examining ... -
Captive orangutan locomotion and its relation to the origin of human bipedalism
(Wichita State University. Department of Anthropology, 2009)One of the prominent questions in paleoanthropological studies is the origin of bipedalism. There have been several hypotheses presented on the ancestral type of locomotion that predated bipedalism. These hypotheses include ... -
