Major element studies of fluid inclusions in fibrous and cloudy diamonds reveal that most inclusions trapped high density fluids (HDFs) with a wide range of composition. The compositions fall along two arrays between three end-members: carbonatitic to hydroussilicic and carbonatitic to hydrous-saline. Recent studies of diamonds from Siberia and Kankan (Navon et al., 2008; Weiss et al., 2008) fu...

Eugenia Kalnay Department of Meteorology University of Maryland [email protected] MS28 POD Model Reduction of Large Scale Geophysical Models 4DVAR is a powerful tool for data assimilation in meteorology and oceanography. A major hurdle in use of 4DVAR for realistic models is dimension of control space ,generally equal to size of model state variable and...

Explanations for the cognitive basis of the Müller-Lyer illusion are still frustratingly mixed. To date, Day's (1989) theory of perceptual compromise has received little empirical attention. In this study, we examine the merit of Day's hypothesis for the Müller-Lyer illusion by biasing participants toward global or local visual processing through exposure to Navon (1977) stimuli, which are know...

Patients with simultanagnosia often demonstrate 'local capture', meaning that they identify only the local elements of stimuli that contain a hierarchy of both local and global structures. Recent studies, however, have found that these patients may implicitly process the global form. We examined the general applicability of the concept of local capture, and specifically whether the global level...

Many cross cultural studies have mentioned two distinct forms of thinking, holistic and analytic thought, and argued that one of the crucial differences between them is their attentional focus on focal object and its context. Furthermore, in face recognition studies, it has been replicated that face recognition is a configural process and is fostered by prior global processing orientation. The ...

Within the context of the psychological refractory period (PRP) paradigm, we developed a general theoretical framework for deciding when it is more efficient to process two tasks in serial and when it is more efficient to process them in parallel. This analysis suggests that a serial mode is more efficient than a parallel mode under a wide variety of conditions and thereby suggests that ubiquit...

one of the major criticisms leveled at task-based language teaching (tblt), despite its countless merits, is developing fluency at the cost of accuracy. the post-task stage affords a number of options to counteract this downside through task repetition and task recycling. these two options are considered to positively affect learners' oral performance in terms of fluency, accuracy, and complexi...
