Research on employers’ hiring discrimination is limited by the unlawfulness of such activity. Consequently, researchers have focused on the intention to hire. Instead, we rely on a virtual labour market, the Fantasy Football Premier League, where employers can freely exercise their taste for racial discrimination in terms of hiring and firing. The setting allows us to eliminate co-worker, consu...

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...

What is sympatric speciation? The likelihood of sympatric speciation is perhaps the most controversial aspect of speciation, and certainly one of the most contested questions in evolutionary biology. Speciation in general is defined as the evolution of strong, genetically based ‘isolating barriers’ between populations that prevent them from exchanging genes, for example, mate discrimination, ha...

The z lepton and mesons and baryons containing the charm (c) and bottom (b) quarks, are all found to have lifetimes in the range 10-13-10 -tz s [1] . A device able to resolve vertices to of the order of 1 mm is in principle capable of isolating the decays of these particles produced in e+ ecollisions . This paper describes the design, construction and performance of a pressurised drift chamber ...
