Response congruency effects in task switching reflect worse performance for incongruent targets associated with different responses across tasks than for congruent targets associated with the same response. In the present study, the author investigated whether the effects can be produced solely by a mediated route for response selection, whereby targets are categorized with respect to both task...

SYNOPSIS. The response in species diversity associated with successional change in vegetation, or in a more general sense, species diversity as a function of time in any system of primary producers, has been the subject of much speculation but little direct study. All evidence available shows that pioneer communities are low in diversity, that in mesic environments the peak in diversity in fore...

Although many studies in neuroscience are based on comparing neuronal responses to single, isolated sensory or motor events, multiple events frequently occur in close temporal proximity in freely moving animals. This often obscures the precise temporal correlation between each event and the relevant brain activity. By simulating neuronal responses in multi-event tasks, we show that perievent ti...

Background: Dominant Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB) originally isolated from traditional non-dairy fermented foods, may harbor unique characteristics such as probiotic properties. In this research, probiotic potential of dominant LAB isolated from pickled garlic was studied. Methods: After isolation of dominant LAB from pickled garlic produced with apple cider vinegar, the isolate was identified...
