The authors examined how timing accuracy in tapping sequences is influenced by sequential effects of preceding finger movements and biomechanical interdependencies among fingers. Skilled pianists tapped sequences at 3 rates; in each sequence, a finger whose motion was more or less independent of other fingers’ motion was preceded by a finger to which it was more or less coupled. Less independen...

Neural crest cells (NCCs) can adopt different neuronal fates. In NCCs, neurogenin-2 promotes sensory specification but does not specify different subclasses of sensory neurons. Understanding the gene cascades that direct Trk gene activation may reveal mechanisms generating sensory diversity, because different Trks are expressed in different sensory neuron subpopulations. Here we show in chick a...

Trends in Abortion Attitudes The GSS has carefully maintained the same wording and sequence of questions from year to year to avoid introducing context changes into the time series.* Respondents are asked whether a woman should be able to obtain a legal abortion for a series of reasons, beginning with “if there is a strong chance of defect in the baby” and ending with “if the woman wants it for...

Thermogravimetric curves are measured in the nitrogen of wheat straw heated up to 773 K with rates between 5–20 K/min. A five-step (or component) parallel reaction scheme was developed for interpretation weight loss characteristics, which makes use lumped volatile products based on volatiles released by pseudo-macrocomponents. The volumetric show usual Arrhenius dependence temperature and a lin...
