BACKGROUND AND AIMS Extended seed longevity in the dry state is the basis for the ex situ conservation of 'orthodox' seeds. However, even under identical storage conditions there is wide variation in seed life-span between species. Here, the effects of seed traits and environmental conditions at the site of collection on seed longevity is explored for195 wild species from 71 families from envir...

Despite significant theoretical advancement in the area of child neuropsychology, limited attention has been paid to the developmental features of adolescence. The present study intends to address this issue in relation to executive function (EF). EF refers to the psychological processes that underlie goal-directed behavior; recent studies separate cool EF (psychological process involves pure l...

A number of previous studies of the fragmentation of self-gravitating protostellar discs have involved suites of simulations in which radiative cooling is modeled in terms of a cooling timescale (t cool) which is parameterised as a simple multiple (β cool) of the local dynamical timescale. Such studies have delineated the 'fragmentation boundary' in terms of a critical value of β cool (β crit) ...
