Abstract We describe the immature stages and oviposition behavior of Veladyris pardalis (Salvin, 1869) from northeastern Ecuador. An unidentified species of Solanum (Solanaceae) is the larval food plant. Eggs are laid singly on leaves, stems or epiphytes growing on the host. Veladyris pardalis has four larval stadia, and takes 64-70 days to mature from oviposition to adult.

Abstract This paper investigates whether language and music share cognitive resources for structural processing. We report an experiment which used sung materials and manipulated linguistic complexity (subject-extracted relative clauses, object-extracted relative clauses) and m...

125 Abstract— P300 component of the event-related brain potential (ERP) reflects fundamental cognitive processes. The P300 components have been employed in a wide variety of theoretical, empirical, and clinical applications. In oddball paradigm for eliciting P300, we need standard stimuli and target stimuli. Firstly, designated stimuli are presented to subjects. Nextly, a chosen target stimulus...

High affordance stimuli are associated with an enhancement in the activation of the corresponding motor programs. Such over-activation of motor programs may imply a decrease in performances based on inhibitory control. However, recent data suggest that high affordance stimuli are associated with a widespread privileged neural activation that goes beyond motor representations. In this case, we c...

Kitchen sponges are among the possible sources of contaminants in food establishments. The main purpose of the current study was, therefore, to assess the microbiological safety of sponges as it has been used in selected food establishments of Jimma town. Accordingly, the microbiological safety of a total of 201 kitchen sponges randomly collected from food establishments was evaluated against t...

although the corrupted condition is not protected by sanctions, there are three beliefs as to whether its corruption (fasād) permeates the contract (‘aqd) or not: theory of fasād, theory of non-permeation of fasād, theory of detailed specification (tafṣīl). the proponents of the latter theory claim the total exclusion of the condition that causes disturbance in the basic components of the contr...
