We investigated the effect of the color red on time perception using a temporal bisection task with human adults. The results showed that the perceived duration of a red screen was longer than was that of a blue screen.

SUBMICROSCOPIC DELETIONS OF THE Y CHROMOSOME ARE NOT LIMITED TO AZOOSPERMIC MEN, BUT ARE ALSO DETECTED IN INFERTILE MEN WITH IDIOPATHIC OLIGOZOOSPERMIA

However, it is not known whether Yq microdeletions are unique to men with azoospermia or whether they are also observed in infertile men with less severe defects of spermatogenesis (o...
