On the basis of a meta-analysis of pairwise correlations between working memory tasks and cognitive ability measures, P. L. Ackerman, M. E. Beier, and M. O. Boyle (2005; see record 2004-22408-002) claimed that working memory capacity (WMC) shares less than 25% of its variance with general intelligence (g) and with reasoning ability. In this comment, the authors argue that this is an underestima...

Karyotypes of the genus Lasiochernes (Pseudoscorpiones, Chernetidae) are studied for the first time. The diploid chromosome numbers of males were found to be 2n = 61 in L. pilosus, 2n = 69 in L. siculus and 2n = 73 in L. cretonatus. Karyotypes of all species mainly consist of biarmed chromosomes; the sex chromosome system is XO. Remarkably, the X chromosome displays partial (L. cretonatus), or ...

The pseudoscorpion (Arachnida: Pseudoscorpiones) fauna of mainland Ecuador, excluding the Galápagos Islands, is poorly known, with only 41 described species in 9 families. family Syarinidae has a pantropical distribution and presently comprises ca 120 17 valid genera that are found leaf litter subterranean habitats, mostly tropical subtropical climates. Four syarinid have been recorded from inc...

Based on the cooperative principle brought up by American philosopher of language named Grice, with exemplification and explanation violation four maxims, this paper also combines hedges, analyzing translation hedges so as to better manage implicit explicit information in translation. Meanwhile, how conversational maxims operate a text can contribute characterization style, “the perceived disti...
