Our goal is to link spatial and temporal properties of letter recognition to reading speed for text viewed centrally or in peripheral vision. We propose that the size of the visual span the number of letters recognizable in a glance imposes a fundamental limit on reading speed. and that shrinkage of the visual span in peripheral vision accounts for slower peripheral reading. In Experiment 1, we...

The coenzyme Q (ubiquinone) concentrations of a number of tissues have been determined over the life span of the male laboratory rat. Coenzyme Q increased between 2 and 18 months and decreased significantly at 25 months in the heart and kidney, and the gastrocnemius, oblique and deep aspect (red) vastus lateralis muscles. The coenzyme Q concentration of liver increased over the life span, while...

Objective: Pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo L.) seed oil mainly consists of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. Previously, it was reported that oral administration of pumpkin seed oil (PSO) improved hair growth in male pattern alopecia. This study aimed to evalua...

The balance between oxidation and reduction is important for maintaining a healthy biological system. Oxidative stress results from an imbalance between excessive formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and/or reactive nitrogen species (RNS) and limited endogenous defense systems, and this imbalance can adversely alter lipids, proteins and DNA, causing a number of human diseases. Thus, exoge...

This study was carried out in Bale Eco-Region (BER) which is located in Southeastern Ethiopia with the objective of addressing the cause and effect of ecological damage, particularly rangeland degradation. Both purposive and stratified random sampling approaches were used to select HouseHolds (HH). Individual interview, key informants an...
