Abstract :
Although solutions to the challenge of binaural artificial recreation of audio specializations exist in the Computer Music domain, a review of the area suggests that a comprehensive, generic, accurate and efficient tool set is required; hence this paper/thesis will deal with automated sound creation using sound synthesis. The entire setup was implemented using Csound. Csound implements many synthesis techniques unavailable through other means, such as user-controlled physical modeling.
Recent studies commissioned by UNICEF Kosovo show clearly that children are at significantly greater risk of poverty in Kosovo compared to the general population. Using the generally accepted consumption poverty line of €1.417 per person
per day, based on 2006/7 Household Budget Survey data, 46.2% of the Kosovo population is in poverty, whereas 48.6% of children aged 0-19 are in poverty. The highest risks of poverty are faced by children who live in households with three or more children; children aged 0-14; children of unemployed parents; children in households receiving social assistance; and children in households with low levels of education. Whilst the risk of poverty is lower for children where at least
one family member is employed, children in wage-earning households make up 36% of all children in poverty in Kosovo.

Preliminary Report of Pachyosteosclerotic Bones in Seals by Irina Koretsky and Sulman J Rahmat* in Open Access Research in Anatomy
Despite extensive knowledge about the distribution of pachyosteosclerosis (increased bone volume and density) among some modern groups of marine mammals, this aquatic adaptation is not well known in Phocidae (true seals). Pachyosteosclerotic bones reduce buoyancy and permit easier submergence for some marine mammals.

ADAPTATION OF MARINE ORGANISMS TO DIFFERENT ENVIRONMENTJaneAlamAdnan
Adaptation is an evolutionary process whereby an organism becomes increasingly well suited to living in a particular habitat. It is not a quick process! Natural selection over many generations results in helpful traits becoming more common in a population. This occurs because individuals with these traits are better adapted to the environment and therefore more likely to survive and breed. Adaptation is also a common term to describe these helpful or adaptive traits. In other words, an adaptation is a feature of an organism that enables it to live in a particular habitat.
Dusky spinefoot is also known as squaretail or rabbit fish, typically brownish grey color with lighter color speckles and yellowish ring around the pupil. They prefer hard bottom areas. Meat may be poisonous due to toxins produced by the algae. Mostly it is herbivorous. Considered as indicator species for the health of coral reefs.
A Transmission Electron Microscopic Study of the Olfactory Epithelium in Hill...AI Publications
Olfaction is primarily produced by the stimulation of receptor cells on the olfactory organ's neuroepithelial surface, surrounded by olfactory nerve fibres. Numerous fish life processes, including migration, communication, feeding, schooling, defence, and reproduction, depend heavily on olfactory signals and cues. The olfactory and reproductory systems are interconnected structurally and functionally, and puberty-related alterations in the olfactory epithelium are documented. The olfactory epithelium, which covers a large portion of the surface of the olfactory rosette, a structure found within the olfactory chambers on the fish rostrum, is where the olfactory receptor cells are situated. Although ultra structural transmission electron microscopic studies of the olfactory organ and bulb are carried out by some investigators but very sparse information is available on hillstream fishes and that is why this work has been undertaken to detail the structure of olfactory system in G. mullya by electron microscopy. Microvillous olfactory receptor cells are placed compactly adjacent to the supporting cell showing a junction complex : the zonula-ocludens. Polygonal white cells are present in between the basal cells and supporting cells. Small polyhedral basal cells lie just above the basal lamina of olfactory epithelium. Basal cells may be working as stem cells for regeneration of lost or damaged non sensory and goblet cells.

Evolution of Amphibians
[Synthesis Paper]
Summary:
Amphibians have been labeled in their feeding movements comparative to other
vertebrates, based on the studies of a few model taxa. Nevertheless, the recent studies of a
variety of amphibians showed diversity in their feeding mechanics and kinematics and exemplify
that stereotypy is the exception rather than the rule in amphibian feeding habits. The
lissampibians which were the common ancestor of today’s amphibians was most likely capable
of some modulation of feeding movements, and that their descendants have evolved along two
trajectories with regard to motor control. The first is that an increase in modulation via feedback
or feed-forward mechanisms, as illustrated by ballistic-tongued plethodontid salamanders and
hydrostatic-tongued frogs. The second is a decrease in variation dictated by biomechanics that
require tight coordination between different body parts, such as the tongue and jaws in toads and
other frogs with ballistic tongue projection. Multi-joint coordination of rapid movements may
hamper accurate tongue placement in ballistic-tongued frogs as compared to both short-tongued
frogs and ballistic tongued-salamanders that face simpler motor control tasks. Decoupling of
tongue and jaw movements is associated with increased accuracy in both hydrostatic-tongued
frogs and ballistic-tongued salamanders.
The transition of vertebrates from aquatic to land habitat was associated with their
evolution on physiology and anatomy, respectively. One of the evolutions due to adaptation is
how the aortic arches change during the transition of amphibians. The transition of their
adaptations is fast due to their physiological needs. Ii is supposed that the branching of aortic
arches of water-dwelling piscine ancestors, of intermediate form which is left the water and of
primitive tetrapods while the arch V was still complete and not interrupted.
The conservation of each phylogenetic taxa will be great in diversity which allows
maximizing evolutionary information preserved within fauna and flora. The ‘‘EDGE of
Existence’’ program is the first institutional conservation initiative that prioritizes species based
2. on phylogenetic information. Species are ranked in two ways: one according to their
evolutionary distinctiveness (ED) and second, by including IUCN extinction status, their
evolutionary distinctiveness and global endangerment (EDGE). Here, we describe the global
patterns in the spatial distribution of priority ED and EDGE species, in order to identify
conservation areas for mammalian and amphibian communities. In addition, we investigate
whether environmental conditions can predict the observed spatial pattern in ED and EDGE
global.
Reflection, Reaction, Recommendation:
As I go into deep understanding into evolution of the amphibians, I am fascinated with
their great diversity. They are successful in colonizing the land habitat from aquatic ones which
they tend to adapt the different challenges in their developmental stage. Amphibians in general,
is a great example of adaptation in which their adaptation to their feeding habitat just to survive
the ever fast changing world.
Even though the amphibians are generally studied by many, but their conservation is less
talked and studied about. We should put into mind that without amphibians the world of food
chain and eventually the food web would be disarmed and the ecology of the world would be
imbalance. I should recommend to everybody and every human being to study the conservation
of amphibians for us to witness its beauty in terms of its physical state and of course their
diversity and the evolution through the season. I indeed, I found it interesting to study this
organisms of its uniqueness and its diversity.
