Response accuracy and odor sample times on positive (S+) and negative (S-) trials were recorded for mice trained on a variety of go, no-go odor detection and discrimination tasks. Odor sample time was relatively stable over extended training on the same task, increased during acquisition of difficult tasks, relatively insensitive to reinforcement magnitude, and, in some cases, provided more inf...

The reference to ethnicity in the 2012 National Suicide Prevention Strategy for England (1) is mainly with regard to promoting mental health in Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) groups. However, there is little detailed information about any specific strategy to reduce suicide rates in BME groups. The Suicide Prevention Strategy and Action Plan for Northern Ireland has only one brief reference re...

In two-dimensional lattice fermion model a determinant representation for the twopoint correlation function of the twist field in the disorder phase is obtained. This field is defined by twisted boundary conditions for lattice fermion field. The large distance asymptotics of the correlation function is calculated at the critical point and in the scaling region. The result is compared with the v...

There have been many published studies aiming to identify temporal changes in river flow time series, most of which use monotonic trend tests such as the Mann–Kendall test. Although robust to both the distribution of the data and incomplete records, these tests have important limitations and provide no information as to whether a change in variability mirrors a change in magnitude. This study d...
