Phytate phosphorus in 59 samples of herbal teas was determined within the range of 2.44-36.90 microg/mL. Extraction yield was statistically higher in extracts from the leaves than that found in extracts from other plant organs. Average total level of trace elements determined in medicinal herbs follows the order: Fe > Mn > Zn > Cu, for major elements the order is: Ca > Mg > Na > K. Correlation ...

The construct validity of maternal mind-mindedness (MM) was investigated in the context of its relations with children's later understanding of mind. MM measures were obtained from infant-mother (N = 52) interactions at 6 months, and from maternal interviews at 48 months. Children's understanding of mind was assessed using theory of mind (ToM) tasks at 45 and 48 months, and a stream of consciou...

Quentin Smith has argued that the new tenseless theory of time is faced with insurmountable problems and should be abandoned in favour of the tensed theory of time. Smith’s main argument attacks the fundamental premise of the tenseless theory: that tenseless truth conditions for tokens of tensed sentences adequately capture the meaning of tensed sentences.

The paper presents an analysis of the interpretation of recursive types as logical relations in the framework of iterative algebraic theories. This allows a smoother presentation of the underlying technique, and easier proofs of properties of the interpretation.

Hemlock woolly adelgid (HWA) is an exotic insect pest causing severe decimation of native hemlock trees. Extensive research has been conducted on the ecological impacts of HWA, but the exact physiological mechanisms that cause mortality are not known. Water relations, anatomy and gas exchange measurements were assessed on healthy and infested eastern (Tsuga canadensis) and Carolina (Tsuga carol...
