PURPOSE The aim of this study was to investigate the language outcomes of 7-year-old children with and without a history of late language emergence at 24 months. METHOD One hundred twenty-eight children with a history of late language emergence (LLE) at 24 months and 109 children with a history of normal language emergence (NLE) at 24 months participated in direct behavioral assessment of mul...

Whereas the tools to determine the eigenvalues of the eight-vertex transfer matrix T are well known there has been until recently incomplete knowledge about the eigenvectors of T . We describe the construction of eigenvectors of T corresponding to degenerate eigenvalues and discuss the related hidden elliptic symmetry.

Quantitative estimation of some constituents 0 blood has become a common practice in ^ ^nical medicine. In order to have a definite ea of the extent of the severity of the patholgical condition, standard values for the constituents estimated in normal human* blood are jssential. The values usually found in the textbooks refer to the Westerners, worked out by the *wkers of the West {e.g. Folin, ...

An annual fund-raising appeal is conducted during the first weeks in January yearly called "The March of Dimes." Some seventy million individuals subscribe to this fund and in the current year the voluntary subscriptions totalled thirty million dollars. Du...

The genetic variation and diversity among fifty-eight polyvoltine silkworm genotypes was estimated by using ten economic traits. The results revealed that the single shell weight showed higher genetic variation such as PCV% (17.20%), GCV% (12.93%), and heritability (56.5%) followed by single cocoon weight, shell ratio and matured larval weight. The D2 (Mahalonobis? distance) statistics reveal...

The synthesis and single-crystal X-ray structure determination of the title compound (dinitrato) (1,4,8,11 -tetra-azaandecane) lead(II) is described. Crystals are monoclinic, P2 /ca= 10.271 (2)?,b= 13.524(4) ?,c= 11.298(6) ?,?=94.68(3),2=4,R,Rw, 0.036 and 0.041, respectively. The lead atom is eight-coordinate [Pb-N, 2.44 (2) - 2.55 (1)], [Pb-0,2.87 (1) - 3.06 (2)].

CONTEXT Policymaking is a highly complex process that is often difficult to predict or influence. Most of the scholarship examining the role of research evidence in policymaking has focused narrowly on characteristics of the evidence and the interactions between scientists and government officials. The real-life context in which policymakers are situated and make decisions also is crucial to th...

Goal neglect is the phenomenon of failing to execute the momentary demands of a task despite understanding and being able to recall the task instructions. Successful goal maintenance is more likely to occur in adults with high working memory capacity (WMC) who can keep rules mentally accessible while performing the task. The current study predicted that goal neglect would also be related to WMC...
