Three experiments used homophones as a test case to examine the roles of phonology and morphology in the spelling process. We introduced university students to novel meanings of spoken forms, for example presenting /fid/ as a rare word for a type of furniture. We asked whether participants avoided spelling the new word as ‹feed›, instead using alternatives such as ‹fead›. Although participants ...

The Fatty acid content and composition of fixed oil from Zanthoxylum rhetsa seeds was determined. The seeds were found to contain about ~19.5% of crude fixed oil on a dry weight basis. Fatty acids were converted into methyl esters and analyzed by GC-FID. Ten fatty acids were identified using GC-FID. The major monounsaturated and saturated fatty acids were oleic acid (41.6 43.5%) and palmitic ac...

Phased array feeds offer the possibility of more efficient use of large radio astronomy reflector antennas by providing more closely spaced beams over a wide field of view and higher aperture efficiency in each beam than have been realized with horn feeds. Phased arrays have been used extensively in rapid scanning radars and shaped-beam satellite systems, but the array design criteria for low-n...

Phenol was analyzed by both gas chromatography–flame ionization detection (GC–FID) and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) to compare the techniques and to find out if GCFID is a suitable tool for the analysis of phenol extracted from environmentally important phenol in water. After the treatment of water with CuSO4 and H3PO4, phenol in the water was extracted with dichloromethane. The...

We investigate how formal institutional distance (FID) moderates the cultural (CD) and financial performance relationships of foreign subsidiaries firms. Following recent research, we estimate asymmetric effects CD by considering its size direction towards host countries on opposite poles each dimension’s scale. propose that a limited understanding institutions in country, as measured magnitude...

Using GC-MS and GC-flame ionization detection (FID)/olfactometry, 95 volatile components were detected in orange essence oil, of which 55 were aroma active. In terms of FID peak area the most abundant compounds were: limonene, 94.5%; myrcene, 1%; valencene, 0.8%; linalool, 0.7%, and octanal, decanal, and ethyl butyrate, 0.3% each. One hundred percent of the aroma activity was generated by sligh...

Identification and quantification of ethanol in biological samples such as blood and urine is of paramount importance in forensic toxicological laboratories. Despite of the fact that there are several methods are available for quantification of ethanol in forensic samples, an accurate quantification with minimum standard deviation is still a challenging task in forensic toxicological laboratori...

Serial femtosecond crystallography (SFX) is a new emerging method, where X-ray diffraction data are collected from a fully hydrated stream of nano- or microcrystals of biomolecules in their mother liquor using high-energy, X-ray free-electron lasers. The success of SFX experiments strongly depends on the ability to grow large amounts of well-ordered nano/microcrystals of homogeneous size distri...

La escritura se incluye en el repertorio de saberes y habilidades propios la Formación Inicial Docente (FID), tal como manifiestan las políticas marcos normativos FID investigaciones sobre su rol formativo. No obstante, es escaso conocimiento instanciación curricular trayectorias FID. Este estudio casos múltiples analiza carrera Pedagogía Educación Básica tres universidades chilenas acreditadas...

Background information: The phytochemicals of endophytes have generated substantial interest in drug discovery programs because they offer the possibility discovering new biologically active molecules. Objective: objective this study was to quantify and analyze phytochemical profile fungus endophytic extracts isolated from Azadirachta indica leaves, which been used ethnobotanically for treating...
