Background: Conduct of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) due to the higher volume of priming solution in comparison to the total blood volume in children requires careful consideration. Recently attention has been focused on the potential risk of hyperkalemia in these patients. Given its significant effects on cardiac rhythm, hyperkalemia is considered a medical emergency. In this cross-sectional st...

Where ethnic violence divides groups by both religious and tribal affiliation, how does the ‘ethnic’ characterization of conflict affect perceptions crises? From a survey experiment in Jos, Nigeria, we find that priming respondents with versus frames leads to differently interpret causes violence, issues viewed as most salient cause religion important solution. The findings emphasize where more...

Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) migrate to sites of inflammation or injury in response to chemoattractants released at those sites. The presence of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins at these sites may influence PMN accumulation at blood vessel walls and enhance their ability to move through tissue. Thrombospondin (TSP), a 450-kD ECM protein whose major proteolytic fragments are a COOH-ter...

A broad range of priming data has been used to explore the structure of semantic memory and to test between models of word representation. In this paper, we examine the computational mechanisms required to learn distributed semantic representations for words directly from unsupervised experience with language. To best account for the variety of priming data, we introduce a holographic model of ...

Failures to replicate high-profile priming effects have raised questions about the reliability of so-called “social priming” phenomena. However, not only are many relevant studies particularly social in nature, but other robust that clearly nature do count as priming. Most importantly, focus on supposedly aspect work has obscured factors help account for relative effects. Here, we examine const...

A laboratorial study was carried out to investigate the effect of NaCl priming on seed germination and seedling growth of canola. Canola seeds were primed with 1% NaCl solution for 24 hours, at 20°C. Then primed and non-primed seeds were irrigated with seven different saline solutions consisted of 0 (control), 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.00, 1.25 and 1.50% concentrations of NaCl. Results indicated that...

The rapid and precise processing of environmental sounds contributes to communication functions as well as both object recognition and localization. Plasticity in (accessing) the neural representations of environmental sounds is likewise essential for an adaptive organism, in particular humans, and can be indexed by repetition priming. How the brain achieves such plasticity with representations...

soil and water salinity in arid and semi-arid regions, is one of the most important stresses, can severely limit crop production. black cumin (nigella sativa l.) is annual important herbal plant in rununculaceae family that sense to salinity. this study was conducted to evaluate the effects of the priming on seed germination of black cumin under saline stress. the experiment was carried out as ...
