What kinds of processing mechanisms determine the forms of spoken sentences? Three experiments (N 1⁄4 176) measured whether the mention of an optional that in a sentence-complement structure (‘‘The mechanic mentioned (that) the car could use a tune-up’’) can be primed by the prior production of a sentence that included a lexically or a lexically and syntactically similar that, using a recall-ba...

The present study used event-related potentials (ERPs) to investigate the function of signals induced by cognitive conflict during the detection stage and the resolution stage of perceptual processing. The study used a combination of the Stroop task and an affective priming task to examine the conflict priming effect when the stimulus onset asynchrony (SOA) was 200 ms or 800 ms. Behavioral resu...

Recent work suggests that people evaluate target stimuli within short and flexible time periods called evaluation windows. Stimuli that briefly precede a target (forward primes) or briefly succeed a target (backward primes) are often included in the target's evaluation. In this article, the authors propose that predictable forward primes act as "go" signals that prepare target processing, such ...

Masked primes presented prior to a target can trigger response activation processes that may later be subject to inhibition. Evidence for response inhibition has previously been obtained with primes presented at fixation, but not with primes presented in the periphery of the visual field. It is argued that this central-peripheral asymmetry reflects a threshold mechanism in motor control. Foveal...

Prime numbers, the building blocks from which integers are made, are central to much of mathematics. Understanding their distribution is one of the most natural, and hence oldest, problems in mathematics. Once the ancient Greeks had determined that there are infinitely many then it was natural to ask how many there are up to any given point, perhaps a very large point, how many there are in cer...

let $g$ be a group and $pi(g)$ be the set of primes $p$ such that $g$ contains an element of order $p$. let $nse(g)$ be the set of the number of elements of the same order in $g$. in this paper, we prove that the simple group $l_2(p^2)$ is uniquely determined by $nse(l_2(p^2))$, where $pin{11,13}$‎.‎

Suppose $G$ is a finite group, $A$ and $B$ are conjugacy classes of $G$ and $eta(AB)$ denotes the number of conjugacy classes contained in $AB$. The set of all $eta(AB)$ such that $A, B$ run over conjugacy classes of $G$ is denoted by $eta(G)$.The aim of this paper is to compute $eta(G)$, $G in { D_{2n}, T_{4n}, U_{6n}, V_{8n}, SD_{8n}}$ or $G$ is a decomposable group of order $2pq$, a group of...
