Catalogus Fossilium Austriae Band 4: Rodentia Neogenica: Ein Systematisches Verzeichnis Aller Auf Osterreichischem Gebiet Festgestellten Fossilien (Catalogus Fossilum Austriae)
Book information
Description
The present volume Rodentia neogenica of the Catalogus Fossilium Austriae provides an overview of Neogene rodents from Austria, reflecting a fascinating chapter of mammal evolution. The investigated fossils were collected from 34 localities spanning a time interval of around eleven million years from the early to the late Miocene, with Maigen being the oldest and Eichkogel the youngest fossil site. The small mammal localities are situated in Neogene sedimentary basins of Austria: the Northern Alpine Foreland Basin, the Vienna Basin, the Styrian Basin and its satellite basins, the Pannonian Basin, and smaller basins along the Mur-Murz and the Lavant Valley. The investigated rodent fossils comprise thousands of isolated teeth, jaws and some partial skulls. They are housed in the collections of the Museum of Natural History Vienna (Geological-Paleontological Department). Minor parts stem from collections of the University of Vienna (Department of Palaeontology), the Universalmuseum Joanneum Graz (Geology & Palaeontology), the Montanuniversitat Leoben, and some private collections. The present volume introduces taxonomy, systematics and stratigraphy of all rodent groups represented in the Miocene of Austria. A sketch map of Austria and a stratigraphic chart show the topographic and stratigraphic positions of the fossil sites. The dental terminology is explained using sketches of dental patterns (22 Figs). SEM images illustrate the morphologic variation of dental characters of more than 50 represented genera and 90 species (77 Plates). The volume is completed by a taxonomic index.

Professional Linux kernel architecture ''Wrox programmer to programmer''--Cover. - ''What you are reading right now is the result of an evolution over more than seven years: After two years of writing, the first edition was published in German by Carl Hanser Verlag in 2003. It then described kernel 2.6.0. The test was used as a basis for the low-level design documentation for the EAL4+ security evaluation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, requiring to update it to kernel 2.6.18 (if the EAL acronym does not mean anything to you, then Wikipedia is once more your friend). Hewlett-Packard sponsored the translation into English and has, thankfully, granted the rights to publish the result. Updates to kernel 2.6.24 were then performed specifically for this book''--P. ix
