Hi, All First of all, this is probably the last message for the year, so I would like to wish everyone a happy holidays and New Year. I'm hoping to do a better job at getting back to once month, so there aren't so many articles. Once again, I would like to thank the Marmam editors for providing this platform for which this service could not be possible and to all of you for providing all the PDFs of your new papers. I know it can be frustrating that I don't post your pre-prints, but I do catalogue them into the database, and track their process till the final version comes out for my postings.
There are quite a few PDFs this time around. For those of you who are using the museum FTP server, the files will be up shortly. I understand the problems some of you are having and I will be moving over to Dropbox and Google Drive the first of the year. Anyway, down to business and see you next year. Here's the latest posting of new PDF's that are available. Larger file sizes have been included. Abstracts also available on request. Please let me know of any mistakes. Make all requests to: jani...@cox.net Cheers!
