The experiments discussed in this report do not have a direct relationship to each other but represent work on a series of sub-issues within the general framework of visual processing of information. Because of this discreteness, the report is organized into a series of papers. The first is a general review of tachistoscopic work on iconic memory and issues related to iconic memory. Following t...

A case study of psychiatric intervention for t*.-. sisters whose brother is dying of leukemia is presented. The therapeutic technique attempted to deal with the threatened loss by a forthright approach to the reality situation, encouraging uimmunizing" discussions, allowance for catharsis without severe regression, emphasis on reality orientation, and direct initiation and enhancement of mourni...

WOLFNER Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics Cornell University Ithaca, NY 14853 USA E-mail:[email protected] Nitric oxide (NO) plays important roles in numerous physiological processes in many animals. In mammals, NO regulates muscle contractions in the female reproductive tract [e.g. Ekerhovd et al. (1997) Hum. Repro. 12: 301-305; Yampalli et al. (1993) Endocrinol...

The MMPI continues to be the focus of a large .quantity of research..This article offers an aid to persons working with college student populations by annotating recent MMPI research relating to college populations. A total of 49 articles (each categorized in terms of content into one of 10 sections or subsections) were annotated. The Validity of the MMPI includes the following subsections: Con...

The present paper discusses the application of a computerized feedback 1 I/ system to teacher training and the study of teacher-pupil interactive behavior in classrooms. A prototype computer assisted teaching training system (CATTS) is described in detail. Moreover, the efficacy of CATTS as a training system is empirically demonstrated. The paper specifically discusses an investigation which de...

We examined the long-term repro ductive consequence of bleaching stress on Caribbean corals in the Orbicella (formerly Montastraea) species complex (O. annularis, O. faveolata, and O. franksi). Over 2000 observations of spawning in 526 tagged corals in Panama were made from 2002 through 2013. Bleaching events were noted in 2005 and 2010. At the population level, a re duction in spawning persist...

Pregnancy losses from fertilization to term are extensive in lactating dairy cattle. In many cases, they are underestimated because of the inability to determine conception early after insemination. For most producers, pregnancy losses are only quantified after the initial di‐ agnosis is performed at approximately 30 to 45 d of gestation. Recent studies that provid‐ ed reliable assessments of f...

In traditional ecotoxicological studies, test organisms are usually exposed to a single chemical at increasing concentrations, performed under otherwise optimal conditions. However, in natural environments it is very likely that these organisms will also be exposed to other stressful factors, including climatic stressors as frost and drought. This means that traditional laboratory tests may und...

Six passages were used in this study to investigate the recoding behavior of eighth and ninth grade students for both increase and decrease in syntactic complexity and thus gain a more accurate picture of their grammar. Each of the two selections used was written in kernel sentences at the eighth grade level of writing and the skilled adult level of writing. The teacher was asked to distribute ...
