Research suggests that the lexicon stores high-frequent combinations of words (e.g., Arnon and Snider, 2010), thereby optimizing the balance between computation and retrieval during language comprehension. Here, we studied whether the production of multi-word expressions is optimized in a similar way. First, we measured speech onset latencies for Dutch clock-time expressions. Second, we develop...

Roots of seedlings of red clover and alfalfa growing on 10(1) Hoagland and Arnon solution agar were inoculated with various combinations of Meloidogyne incognita and Pratylenchus penetrans. Egg-laying by P. penetrans decreased as the number of nematodes, the ratio of entrant M. incognita to entrant P. penetrans, and the priority of invasion of roots by M. incognita increased. Embryogeny and hat...

8 The term "freezing of the particles" is used for convenience. As it is uncertain whether or not there is an alteration in the physical state of the particles when frozen at -20'C, the term is therefore descriptive of the state of the suspending medium. 9 Weber, M. M., and G. Rosso, Fed. Proc., 22, 526 (1963). lo Gale, P. H., B. H. Arison, N. R. Trenner, A. C. Page, Jr., K. Folkers, and A. F. ...

We ask the question whether entropy accumulates, in the sense that the operationally relevant total uncertainty about an n-partite system A = (A1, . . . An) corresponds to the sum of the entropies of its parts Ai. The Asymptotic Equipartition Property implies that this is indeed the case to first order in n — under the assumption that the parts Ai are identical and independent of each other. He...

Many grammatical frameworks view words and rules as the basic building blocks of language, with multiword sequences being treated as peripheral exceptions in the form of idioms, etc. (e.g., Pinker, 1999). The new millennium, however, has seen a shift toward construing multiword sequences not as linguistic rarities but as important building blocks for language acquisition and processing. Based o...

The role of molybdenum (Mo) and copper (Cu) in regulation the activities of the enzymes involved in primary nitrogen assimilation in particular the nitrate reductase (EC 1.6.6.1) and glutamine synthetase (EC 6.3.1.2) was examined. Pea plants were grown in a phytotron chamber at 12 h photoperiod, day /night temperature 25/18 C and photon flux density of 95 μmol m s until 21 day. Plants were grow...
