Factors influencing basal area growth of yellow-poplar ( Liriodendron tulipifera L.) in central West Virginia
This paper uses data from continuous forest inventory (CFI) plots to evaluate basal area growth of yellow-poplar (Liriodendron tulipifera L.) as related to four topographic factors (aspect, slope position, steepness, and landform), two competition variables (basal area per acre and trees per acre) …

Geometric and Extra-Geometric Spatial Conceptualisation: A cross-linguistic and non-verbal perspective
Almost all past empirical work exploring the Functional Geometric Framework (FGF) proposed by Coventry and Garrod (2004) for spatial language use has been based on a single language - English. Therefore the extent to which the framework applies across languages has not been established. The current …
