Stimuli that are clearly positive or negative (hence valence-laden stimuli) have the potential to interrupt unrelated task processing. A typical example is the emotional Stroop effect (ESE) in which responding to a certain task feature (e.g., color) is delayed by the presentation of task-irrelevant valent stimuli (e.g., negative pictures) compared to valence-neutral stimuli. Here we scrutinize ...

Fish larvae experience major cellular and biochemical changes during their early life stages.The aim of the present study was to evaluate alterations in the antioxidant status and values oflipid peroxidation and vitamin C content during the different life developmental stages ofHypophthalmichthys molitrix. Eggs and larvae were sampled at fertilization, organogenesis,eyed egg, hatch, active feed...

This paper deals with pottery assemblage from the chalcolithic phase of the site of Gilund in Rajsamand district ofRajasthan. Though pottery from this site has been studied earlier (Shinde et al 2002), however there was no literatureavailable on the ceramic chronology of Gilund with layers ascertained to it. This paper tries to build up a ceramicchronology in the site in order to indentify diff...

Abstract. Given a doubling measure μ on R, it is a classical result of harmonic analysis that Calderón-Zygmund operators which are bounded in L(μ) are also of weak type (1, 1). Recently it has been shown that the same result holds if one substitutes the doubling condition on μ by a mild growth condition on μ. In this paper another proof of this result is given. The proof is very close in spirit...

A change in subtask order in the psychological refractory period (PRP) paradigm increases the effect of stimulus onset asynchrony (SOA) on the second response. We used a paradigm with cued, randomly determined subtask order to test the hypothesis that this SOA by order switch overadditivity reflects order control, via "copying" stimulus order. In Experiments 1a and 1b, overadditivity was eviden...

beet armyworm (spodoptera exigua (hubner)) (lepidoptera: noctuidae) is the most economically important sugar beet (beta vulgaris) pest worldwide. the main control method of this pest is insecticides use. thus, it is important to develop alternative means of controlling this pest, including host plant resistance using plant lectins. in the current study, the effects of gna (galanthus nivalis agg...

socialization is one of the most important goals of any developmental program and educational scientists try to provide students with appropriate contexts to develop socialization throughout the developmental ages. this study aimed to investigate the effect of traditional and modern childish plays on the social development of female students in the first grade (6-7 years old) in 1388-1389 in tw...

Dear Alice, I have been taking OTC cough/cold/flu preps for about a week. These all contain acetaminophen with the subsequent warnings against using if one imbibes due to possible liver damage. Is there a period of time I should wait (I'm better now) after I stop using the OTCs before I can resume enjoying my "more than 3 alcoholic beverages" per day to allow the acetaminophen to metabolize? Re...

background: in india, child malnutrition is mostly the result of high levels of exposure to infection and inappropriate infant and young child feeding and caring practices and has its origins almost entirely during the first 2 to 3 years of life. this study aims in assessing the impact of breast feeding on child development of children at 3 years. methods: about 530 children at 3 years were ass...

Although dual-task interference is ubiquitous in a variety of task domains, stop-signal studies suggest that response inhibition is not subject to such interference. Nevertheless, no study has directly examined stop-signal performance in a dual-task setting. In two experiments, stop-signal performance was examined in a psychological refractory period task, in which subjects inhibited one respon...
