Strength independence refers to the assumption that in a retrieval-induced forgetting paradigm, the increase in performance for the practiced items (RP+) is independent of the decrease for the related and supposedly inhibited items (RP-). One way in which this assumption has been tested is by examining the correlation over subjects between these two measures. The finding that there is no such c...

A reductive ligation based fluorescent probe () for the detection of S-nitrosothiols (SNO) was developed. The probe showed good selectivity and sensitivity for SNO.

Previous research suggests that the Relational Completion Procedure may be an effective alternative procedure for studying derived relational responding. However, the parameters that make it effective, relative to traditional match-to-sample, remain to be determined. The present experiment compared the Relational Completion Procedure and match-to-sample protocols for training and testing Same a...

Most protein crystallisation begins from heterogeneous nucleation; in practice, crystallisation typically occurs in the presence of a solid surface in the solution. The solid surface provides a nucleation site such that the energy barrier for nucleation is lower on the surface than in the bulk solution. Different types of solid surfaces exhibit different surface energies, and the nucleation bar...

The role of time in ecology has a long history of investigation, but ecologists have largely restricted their attention to the influence of concurrent abiotic conditions on rates and magnitudes of important ecological processes. Recently, however, ecologists have improved their understanding of ecological processes by explicitly considering the effects of antecedent conditions. To broadly help ...

Distributions of the largest eigenvalues of Wishart covariance matrices corresponding to the large size data matrices are studied in this paper by reviewing the most recent results on this topic. Special attention is paid to the corresponding asymptotic laws – Tracy-Widom distributions, and their realizations in S-Plus. A further look at the practical aspects of the results studied in the paper...

Introducing a new hobby for other people may inspire them to join with you. Reading, as one of mutual hobby, is considered as the very easy hobby to do. But, many people are not interested in this hobby. Why? Boring is the reason of why. However, this feel actually can deal with the book and time of you reading. Yeah, one that we will refer to break the boredom in reading is choosing statistica...
