The claim that event-related potentials (ERPs) index familiarity was assessed by acquiring ERPs during a recognition memory task in which participants were instructed to adopt different decision criteria in separate retrieval phases. In one, the instructions were to respond "old" only when confident that this was the correct response, and to respond "new" otherwise (the conservative condition)....

The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the validity of mesoscale numerical weather prediction modeling near the complex terrain at Aubrey Cliffs, Arizona, and to investigate the influence of the outer domain size employed on the computational results. Mesoscale Modeling v5 (MM5) was implemented to produce numerical wind data that was compared with experimental wind data. The results obtain...

Index insurance has been introduced as a solution to tackle several challenges that prevail in the agricultural sector of developing countries. One main implementation these countries is lack reliable weather data for index development and implementation. The increasing availability satellite could ease constraints access. Meanwhile, suitability various products yield estimation across world re...

Separate event-related brain potential (ERP) components have been hypothesized to index familiarity and recollection processes that support recognition memory. A 300- to 500-ms mid-frontal FN400 old/new difference has been related to familiarity, whereas a 500- to 800-ms parietal old/new difference has been related to recollection. Other recent work has cast doubt on the FN400 familiarity hypot...

Apple scab, Venturia inaequalis, is the most serious fungal disease of apple in Romania. The fungus attacks foliage, blossoms and fruits by defoliating trees and rendering fruit unmarketable. In addition, to cultivated apple, apple scab also attacks flowering crabapple, mountain ash and firethorn.. A simple system for apple growers to monitor environmental weather data (temperature and leaf wet...

an accurate determination of evapotranspiration is required for many studies that involve estimation of the water balance. one methodology is the use of lysimeters. considering the semiarid climate of kerman province, in southeastern parts of iran, the only operating electronic weighing lysimeter in the country was used for calculating daily eto from april 2004 to march 2005 in three different ...
