Are colorimetric assays appropriate for measuring phenol oxidase activity in peat soils?
The activity of extracellular phenol oxidases is believed to play a critical role in decomposition processes in peatlands. The water logged, acidic conditions, and recalcitrant litter from the peatland vegetation, lead to exceptionally high phenolics in the peat. In order to quantify the activity of oxidative enzymes involved in the modification and break down of phenolic compounds two types of...

The World Health Organization (1998) defines obesity as a condition with excess body fat to the extent that health and well-being are adversely affected. The BMI (weight/ height, kg/m) is normally used for classification. The use of BMI as a surrogate measure for body fat percentage (BF%) is justified on the observation that BMI correlates well with BF% and is hardly dependent on height. The su...
متن کاملProcessing Capacity Limits Are Not Explained by Storage Limits
Cowan’s review shows that a short-term memory limit of four items is consistent with a wide range of phenomena in the field. However he does not explain that limit, whereas an existing theory does offer an explanation for capacity limitations. Furthermore processing capacity limits cannot be reduced to storage limits as Cowan claims. In his excellent review, Cowan concludes that short term memo...
