P300 latency is commonly thought to provide a chronometric index of the duration of perceptual processing. Because the evidence in favor of this assumption is controversial, we examined whether P300 latency is influenced by perceptual processes, response selection, and by motoric processes in two experiments using a two-choice spatial stimulus-response compatibility (SRC) task. Both experiments...

12 Hydrogenetic ferromanganese crusts are iron-manganese oxide chemical 13 precipitates on the seafloor that grow over periods of tens of millions of years. Their 14 secular records of chemical, mineralogical, and textural variations are archives of deep15 sea environmental changes. However, environmental reconstruction requires reliable 16 high-resolution age dating. Earlier chronological meth...

Radiocarbon (I4C) dating, now in its fifth decade of general use, continues to be the most widely employed method of inferring chronometric age for late Pleistocene and Holocene age materials recovered from archeological contexts. Over the last decade, several technical advances in I4C studies have provided contexts for a number of significant applications in archeology that were previously eit...

A congenital hypodysfibrinogenemia, fibrinogen Baltimore II, was found in a young asymptomatic Caucasian female. Prothrombin, partial thromboplastin, and euglobulin lysis times were normal, as were platelet function and coagulation factor assays. Subnormal plasma fibrinogen levels were found using chronometric, rate-independent, and immunologic assay methods. Kinetic analysis of fibrinopeptide ...

In 4 chronometric experiments, influences of spoken word planning on speech recognition were examined. Participants were shown pictures while hearing a tone or a spoken word presented shortly after picture onset. When a spoken word was presented, participants indicated whether it contained a prespecified phoneme. When the tone was presented, they indicated whether the picture name contained the...

The quick identification of potentially threatening events is a crucial cognitive capacity to survive in a changing environment. Previous functional MRI data revealed the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and the region of the left intraparietal sulcus (IPS) to be involved in the perception of emotionally negative stimuli. For assessing chronometric aspects of emotion processing, we applied ...

We introduce the notion of a duality pair and demonstrate how the left half of such a pair is “often” covering and preenveloping. As an application, we generalize a result by Enochs et al. on Auslander and Bass classes, and we prove that the class of Gorenstein injective modules—introduced by Enochs and Jenda—is covering when the ground ring has a dualizing complex.

A pair of sequences (αn(a, k, q),βn(a, k, q)) such that α0(a, k, q) = 1 and βn(a, k, q) = n ∑ j=0 (k/a; q)n−j(k; q)n+j (q; q)n−j(aq; q)n+j αj(a, k, q) is termed a WP-Bailey Pair. Upon setting k = 0 in such a pair we obtain a Bailey pair. In the present paper we consider the problem of “lifting” a Bailey pair to a WPBailey pair, and use some of the new WP-Bailey pairs found in this way to derive...

With considering a ‘triangle of three major currency pairs’, there is a tiny difference between multiplication of exchange rate for the first two currency pairs and the third. To discover whether this little difference can lead to a neutral arbitrage or not, I took portfolios of 35 baskets of three major currency pairs(combinations of all 7 major currencies). There are eight approaches (differe...
