Stimuli that are clearly positive or negative (hence valence-laden stimuli) have the potential to interrupt unrelated task processing. A typical example is the emotional Stroop effect (ESE) in which responding to a certain task feature (e.g., color) is delayed by the presentation of task-irrelevant valent stimuli (e.g., negative pictures) compared to valence-neutral stimuli. Here we scrutinize ...

A study of the incidence of diabetes mellitus in Oslo for the period 1925-54 (Westlund, 1966), based on a comprehensive compilation of hospital documents, has been extended to 1956-65. The incidence rates for the two periods have been compared, by taking the year of diagnosis and age at diagnosis in each case. The incidence rates for 1925-54 were revised by adding cases for this period discover...

Children with cleft lip and/or palate born during the period 1965-74 inclusive in the Oxford area were examined for evidence of any tendency for clustering. The methods suggested by Knox (1963), David and Barton (1966), and Smith and Pike (1974) were used. No clustering was evident in space or in time. There was some indication of clustering in space-time for isolated cleft palate during the pe...

The space-charge limit on the beam current which can be usefully stored in a colliding-beam storage ring is determined by the current density in the interaction region and, in the case of a thin, flat ribbon beam, by the value of PY., the vertical P-function there. The quantity which is limited is the dimensionless parameter , JP r 2 6 a constant Y where J is the current density in the interact...

to run initially for a three-year period, ending on 30 June 1966, but has been extended for a further three years. A marginal punch card was devised in conjunction with Kalamazoo Limited to record details of cases, and full information regarding each notified case was obtained at special home visits carried out by health visitors or clinic nurses. During the three-year period 961 cases were not...

The Black Panther party was founded in Oakland, California, in 1966. From its beginnings as a local, community organization with a handful of members, it expanded into a national and international party. By 1980, however, the Black Panther party was once again mainly an Oakland-based organization, with no more than fifty active members. In 1982, the party came to an official end. Despite its re...

This article evaluates the occurrence of 0 [Formula: see text]M[Formula: see text] 8 earthquake data sets for the period of 50 years (that is, January 1, 1966 to December 31, 2015) in African and Western Asia region. It is bounded by latitude 40° S to 40° N and longitude 30° W to 60° E with the focal depth of 0-700 km. Seventy seven thousand, six hundred and ninety-six data points were presente...

Abstract. Given a doubling measure μ on R, it is a classical result of harmonic analysis that Calderón-Zygmund operators which are bounded in L(μ) are also of weak type (1, 1). Recently it has been shown that the same result holds if one substitutes the doubling condition on μ by a mild growth condition on μ. In this paper another proof of this result is given. The proof is very close in spirit...

A change in subtask order in the psychological refractory period (PRP) paradigm increases the effect of stimulus onset asynchrony (SOA) on the second response. We used a paradigm with cued, randomly determined subtask order to test the hypothesis that this SOA by order switch overadditivity reflects order control, via "copying" stimulus order. In Experiments 1a and 1b, overadditivity was eviden...
