Older adults' memory reports are often less complete and accurate than those by younger adults. The current study assessed the suitability of the Self-Administered Interview (SAI) as retrieval support for older eyewitnesses, and examines whether experience with the SAI leads to improved performance on subsequent events where the SAI is not used. Participants recalled an event with the SAI or fr...

24 Peripheral nerve stimulation inhibits the motor cortex and the process has been termed 25 short latency afferent inhibition (SAI) at interstimulus intervals (ISI) of ~20 ms. The 26 objective of the present study is to test how SAI interacts with short interval intracortical 27 inhibition (SICI) under different stimulation conditions. We studied 20 healthy 28 volunteers. Surface electromyogra...

Short-latency afferent inhibition (SAI) occurs when a single transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) pulse delivered over the primary motor cortex is preceded by peripheral electrical nerve stimulation at a short inter-stimulus interval (∼ 20-28 ms). SAI has been extensively examined at rest, but few studies have examined how this circuit functions in the context of performing a motor task and ...

background: sediments are inseparable fractions of wetland ecosystems that work as a his-torical archive in the process of recording heavy metal aggregation changes. this study was carried out for assessing co, ni, and zn in sediment samples of mighan wetland using geo-accumulation index in 2013. methods:the sediment samples were taken from 11 stations. the samples were subjected to bulk digest...

in order to study the effect of deficit irrigation at reproductive growth stages on growth and grain yield of four sunflower cultivars namely: azargol, allstare, alison and euroflor, an experiment was conducted during the 2007 growing season at the experimental field of the agricultural faculty of bu-ali sina university. the experimental design was a split plot one, based upon a randomized comp...

The Spiritual Assessment Inventory (SAI) is a relationally-based measure designed to assess two dimensions of spiritual development: Awareness of God and Quality of Relationship with God. The present article reports the results of two studies: exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses of a revised SAI, which replicated five factors, and a factor analysis of a revised SAI with a new Impressio...

in order to study the effects of irrigation levels on growth criteria, yield components and seed yield of four ecotypes of sesame (sesamum indicum l.), a field experiment was conducted as factorial based on a randomized complete block design with three replications at the agricultural research station, ferdowsi university of mashhad, during growing season 2010-2011. three irrigation levels (200...

Seed storage reserves mainly consist of starch, triacylglycerols, and storage proteins. They not only provide energy for seed germination and seedling establishment, but also supply essential dietary nutrients for human beings and animals. So far, the regulatory networks that govern the accumulation of seed storage reserves in plants are still largely unknown. Here, we show that TRANSPARENT TES...
