The Effects of Associative Interference, Stimulus Type, and Item Familiarity on Associative Recognition Memory

This study investigated whether recognition memory requires two retrieval processes (1 e , famihanty and recollection) as stated by the Dual process theory or requires one retrieval process (1 e , famihanty) as stated by the Single process theory The first expenment investigated the effects of A-B, A-C, A-D, A-E interference on both word and picture pair recognition As expected, it was found that a picture supenonty effect was present m the baseline condition, but was reduced in the interference condition Moreover, in the baseline condition, a non mirror pattern (1 e hits higher for picture pairs, but false alarm rates were the same) was present indicating picture pairs were encoded better than word pairs, however recall to reject strategy was the same Furthermore, for both types of stimuli, false alarm rates and estimates of famihanty-based hit rates increased in the interference condition The second expenment investigated if the effects of interference on false alarm rates occurred not due to the fan effect, but due to the famihanty of items in the overlapping pairs Famihanty increased hit rates but did not affect false alarm rates for word pairs Interestingly, famihanty had an effect on false alarm rates for picture pairs In Expenment 3, a more extreme manipulation of item famihanty was used Expenment 3 provided more conclusive findings than Expenment 2 supporting the theory that the effects of interference on hit rates and false alarm rates were determined by the famihanty of the individual items Moreover, the results were in accordance with Kelley and Wixted's (2001) "some-or-none" model Expenment 4 was similar in design and procedure as Expenment 1, however the two conditions were general and specific sentence conditions The general sentence condition contained a general noun and specific location (l e the furniture is in the jungle) And the specific sentence condition contained a specific subject noun which was an instantiation of the general subject noun (I e , the desk is in the jungle) Supporting the Dual process theory and similar to Expenment 1, there was a non-mirror pattern present in baseline condition There were significantly higher hit rates present in the specific sentence condition than the general sentence condition However, false alarm rates were the same for both sentence conditions In addition, similar to Expenment 1, estimates of famihanty significantly increased in the interference condition for both types of stimuli Overall, the results provide strong support for the theory that item famihanty eliminated the advantage in recognition performance for distinctive stimuh in associative recognition
A Componential Self-Organising Neural Network

The Bayesian analysis of self-organising maps described in [4] and [5] and the high-dimensional mixture distribution model described in [1] are used to design a componential self-organising neural network. Numerical simulations demonstrate the emergence of centre-on/surround-o and centreo /surround-on type neuron responses, and the ability of the network to explain data in terms of multiple causes .
paRasItIC GastRItIs IN Cuniculus paca (RoDeNtIa: CUNICULIDae)

Parasitism by genus Physocephalus sp. is reported in two naturally infected species of paca from the eastern Amazon region. Four animals were necropsied and during inspection of the digestive tract nodules were observed in the greater curvature of the stomach. Inside these nodules, parasites of the genus Physocephalus sp. were found, (seven males and seven females) with an average of three nematodes fixed and infiltrated into the submucosa of each lesion. Histopathological examination showed congestion and interstitial hemorrhage in the submucosal region, associated with the presence of mononuclear inflammatory infiltrate, as well as nematodes at the lesion site. Despite previous descriptions of this pathogen in rodents, we are not aware of any reports of lesions caused by this parasite. The lesions caused by the action of this pathogen in the stomach mucosa may affect the digestive process of C. paca and lead the animal to present diminished food intake and consequent inactivity and arrested growth and weight gain, compromising the health and welfare of wild species.
Family farming and its influence on household poverty: A case study of northern Nigeria

The study analyzed the level of participation in family (Gandu) farming and its influence on the poverty status of farmers in northern Nigeria. Primary data obtained from a sample of 396 farmers using structured questionnaire were utilized. Descriptive statistics, Foster Greer and Thorbecke measures of poverty and the logit regression model were used to analyse the data. The results showed a mean per capita expenditure of the farmers to be N 93279.84 ($465), while the poverty line was found to be N 62186.50 ($310). The poverty profile showed that 57.77% of the farmers were poor while 42.22% of the farmers were non poor. Out of the poor farmers, 23.33% were core poor while 34.44% were moderately poor. The poverty headcount index was 58%, poverty gap index was 37% and poverty squared gap index was 24%. Estimates of the logit regression model revealed that participation in family farming, age of farmers, land size, farming experience, household size and extension contact were variables that significantly influenced the farmers’ likelihood of being poor at different levels of significance (P<0.1, P<0.05, P<0.01). Furthermore, a high and significant R 2 (0.72) and F-value (53.27) were obtained implying the correctness of the model. The study recommends measures to encourage participation in family farming as a means to improve livelihood of farmers, reduce poverty and enhance food security as well.
In support of an articulated v layer: insights from Tamil

+ The goal of this talk is to argue, based on evidence from the Dravidian language Tamil, that the syntax and semantics of transitivity, ‘get’-like middles, and passives is distributed across three distinct heads. + These heads are contiguous and have the following rigid ordering: Transitivity < ‘get’ < Passive. + As such, it makes sense to talk about an articulated v layer or domain – much along the lines of the articulated C layer/domain proposed within the cartographic framework (Rizzi, 1997; Cinque, 1999) – rather than a single v head. Tamil is a highly inflected agglutinative language: • The verbal form consists of the verb root + a sequence of functional morphemes. • These functional morphemes have a rigid relative ordering, thus serve as a window into the underlying structure above the verb root, in the region traditionally labelled vP. Below, I will consider three types of marking, all of which occur between the verbal root/stem and morphemes that realize a higher portion of the structure, such as tense and agreement markers: + Transitivity marking + Middle marking (with a get-type semantics) + Passive marking
Thermalization time scales for WIMP capture by the Sun in effective theories

I study the process of dark matter capture by the Sun, under the assumption of a Weakly Interacting Massive Particle (WIMP), in the framework of non-relativistic effective field theory. Hypothetically, WIMPs from the galactic halo can scatter against atomic nuclei in the solar interior, settle to thermal equilibrium with the solar core and annihilate to produce an observable flux of neutrinos. In particular, I examine the thermalization process using Monte-Carlo integration of WIMP trajectories. I consider WIMPs in a mass range of 10–1000 GeV and WIMP-nucleon interaction operators with different dependence on spin and transferred momentum. I find that the density profiles of captured WIMPs are in accordance with a thermal profile described by the Sun's gravitational potential and core temperature. Depending on the operator that governs the interaction, the majority of the thermalization time is spent in either the solar interior or exterior. If normalizing the WIMP-nuclei interaction strength to a specific capture rate, I find that the thermalization time differs at most by 3 orders of magnitude between operators. In most cases of interest, the thermalization time is many orders of magnitude shorter than the age of the solar system.
The Next Generation Advanced Video Guidance Sensor: Flight Heritage and Current Development

The Next Generation Advanced Video Guidance Sensor (NGAVGS) is the latest in a line of sensors that have flown four times in the last 10 years. The NGAVGS has been under development for the last two years as a long‐range proximity operations and docking sensor for use in an Automated Rendezvous and Docking (AR&D) system. The first autonomous rendezvous and docking in the history of the U.S. Space Program was successfully accomplished by Orbital Express, using the Advanced Video Guidance Sensor (AVGS) as the primary docking sensor. That flight proved that the United States now has a mature and flight proven sensor technology for supporting Crew Exploration Vehicles (CEV) and Commercial Orbital Transport Systems (COTS) Automated Rendezvous and Docking (AR&D). NASA video sensors have worked well in the past: the AVGS used on the Demonstration of Autonomous Rendezvous Technology (DART) mission operated successfully in “spot mode” out to 2 km, and the first generation rendezvous and docking sensor, the Video G.
Supply Chain Key Success Factors for Organic Agricultural Products: Case Study in Taiwan

The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method is employed to evaluate the significance of various criteria influencing development of the organic agricultural products supply chain in Taiwan. A three-level hierarchical structure with four dimensions and 19 criteria was proposed based on literature review and personal interviews. Sourcing results from an AHP survey indicates that “policies and laws” are perceived as the most crucial factors influencing development of the organic agricultural products supply chain in Taiwan, followed by “manufacturing capability”, “marketing capability”, and “logistics capability”. Overall, results indicate that the five most critical criteria influencing development of the organic agricultural products supply chain in Taiwan are “organic agricultural products approval and certification”, “capital acquiring”, “improving cultivated skills”, “establish stable system of distribution”, and “transparent and reasonable pricing”. It is important to note that government and related authorities also put more effort in “temperature control” and “post-harvest handling”. Therefore, logistics capability is also a critical factor influencing development of the organic agricultural products supply chain in Taiwan whereas few previous studies have discussed this issue.
Assessment of Availability and Nutritive Values ofFeed Resources and their Contribution to Livestock Nutrient Requirements in Chire District, Southern Ethiopia

Availability and nutritive values of feed resources and their nutrient contribution to livestock was assessed in Chire district by measuring the amount and chemical composition of feed resources and estimating balance between available and required amounts of nutrients by livestock. For the survey, agro-ecology, kebeles and households (HHs) of the district were selected using purposive multi-stage random sampling procedures. A survey was conducted on 120 HHs and data were collected using group discussion, structured questionnaire and personal observations. Major feed samples were collected from each kebele and their chemical composition and in vitro dry matter digestibility (IVDMD) were determined. On average 13.23tons of feed dry matter (DM) per annum was produced per HH from the major feed resources. The average estimated annual livestock DM requirement for maintenance was 15.78tons with a deficit of 2.55tons. The available feed DM satisfies 87.22% and 79.44% of maintenance DM requirements of livestock in dega (>2300masl) and woyine dega (1500-2300masl), respectively, which indicates that feed shortage was more aggravated at dega than woyine dega. Banana leaf, enset leaf and Elephant grass had reasonably high CP content than the rest of the feedstuffs. The highest percentage of IVDMD was observed in banana leaf (69.74%) followed by elephant grass (64.26%), and enset leaf (61.44%) at woyine dega. Lowest IVDMD was observed in teff straw (45.08%) and bamboo leaf (45.85%). Ways of improving IVDMD of the available feed resources and supplementary feeds that can alleviate the feed shortage must be given priority.
Heat fluctuations in an out of equilibrium bath

We measure the energy fluctuations of a Brownian particle confined by an optical trap in an aging gelatin after a very fast quench (less than 1 ms). The strong nonequilibrium fluctuations due to the assemblage of the gel, are interpreted, within the framework of fluctuation theorem, as a heat flux from the particle towards the bath. We derive, from a simple model, an analytical expression of the heat probability distribution, which fits the experimental data and satisfies a fluctuation relation similar to that of a system in contact with two baths at different temperatures.
Scattering Matrix and Spectral Shift Function with Potentials in Kato Class

The scattering matrix and the spectral shift function are studied for a model of perturbation theory where the Hamiltonian H is a sum of a multiplication operator H0 by |x| 2l ,l >0 in the space L2(R d ) and of V , such that V ∈ Kν(Kato class).
The relationship between session rate of perceived exertion measures and the volume load of resistance training

The purpose of the study was to investigate the relationship between session rate of perceived exertion (RPE) measures and the volume load (VL) during resistance training (RT). Twelve male and eight female participants (24.3 ± 4.2 years) performed three RT sessions per week for a period of four weeks. The RT sessions during the week consisted of strength, hypertrophy and power protocols that included the same four resistance exercises (bench press, squat, shoulder press and bench row). The participants performed 3 sets of 3 repetitions per exercise at a load of75-90% oftheir 1-RM with a rest period of five minutes between each set for the strength sessions, 3 sets of 10 repetitions per exercise at a load of 65-75% of their 1 ~RM with a one minute rest period between each set for the hypertrophy sessions and 3 sets of 5 repetitions per exercise at a load of 25-40% of their 1-RM at a fast lifting speed with a three minute rest period, for the power sessions. Session RPE was collected within thirty minutes following the completion of each session using the Borg's CR-10 RPE scale. Session load (SL), monotony and strain were derived from the session RPE values. The training volume for each session was determined by calculating VL (total repetitions and amount of weight lifted). Pearson's product moment conelations revealed significant relationships between VL and session RPE (r = 0.737), as well as VL and SL (r = 0.258). However, there were no significant relationships between the average weekly VL and training monotony, and average weekly VL and training strain. There were significant differences between the strength, hypertrophy and power protocols for session RPE, SL and session duration. It was concluded that the session RPE method is a simple way of monitoring VL during undulated periodised RT program. It was also demonstrated that the SL did not provide the same information as volume load during RT possibly due to the dependence on session duration.
Bayesian segregation analysis of test-day milk yield in Tunisian Sicilo-Sarde dairy sheep

Segregation analyses were performed using a Monte Carlo Markov Chain (MCMC) method implemented using Gibbs Sampling. A total of 8387 test-day milk records obtained from the Sicilo-Sarde dairy flock of the Tunisian National Institute of Agricultural Research (INRAT) were analysed. The major gene was assumed to be purely additive autosomal biallelic (A and B) locus with Mendelian transmission probabilities and priors used for the variance components were uniform. Based on 50 000 Gibbs samples from a chain of 520 000 cycles, the estimated marginal posterior means ± posterior standard deviations of variance components of test-day milk yield were 94.82 ± 136.60, 1892.65 ± 1275.21, 5965.72 ± 1166.13 and 15979.40 ± 251.86 for major gene variance ( 2 G ), polygenic variance ( 2 u ), permanent environmental variance ( 2 pe) and error variance ( 2 e ), respectively. Results showed that the postulated major gene was not significant, the 95% highest posterior density regions (HPDRs) of most major gene parameters included 0, and particularly for the major gene variance. The 95% HPDR for Mendelian transmission probabilities showed that probabilities for 3 genotypes were overlapping. Results indicated that segregation of a major gene was unlikely and that the genetic determinism of test-day milk in Tunisian SiciloSarde dairy sheep is purely polygenic. The estimated polygenic heritability and repeatability were h2 = 0.07 and r = 0.32.
Redshift-space distortions from vector perturbations

We compute a general expression for the contribution of vector perturbations to the redshift space distortion of galaxy surveys. We show that they contribute to the same multipoles of the correlation function as scalar perturbations and should thus in principle be taken into account in data analysis. We derive constraints for next-generation surveys on the amplitude of two sources of vector perturbations, namely non-linear clustering and topological defects. While topological defects leave a very small imprint on redshift space distortions, we show that the multipoles of the correlation function are sensitive to vorticity induced by non-linear clustering. Therefore future redshift surveys such as DESI or the SKA should be capable of measuring such vector modes, especially with the hexadecapole which appears to be the most sensitive to the presence of vorticity.
Comparing the Effect of Workshop and Podcast Training on Knowledge and Performance of Midwifery Students Regarding Legal and Religious aspects of Egg Donation

Background & aim: The increased prevalence of infertility and using assisted reproductive technologies including donation procedures has currently become a public concern. The familiarity of midwives with legal and religious aspects of these procedures is a salient issue in their care giving practice. However, this issue has been less considered in the curriculum planning for midwifery students. Thus, this study investigated the effect of workshop and podcast training on midwifery students’ knowledge and performance in terms of legal and religious aspects of egg donation. Methods: This quasi-experimental study was conducted among 60 undergraduate midwifery students of Islamic Azad University of Mashhad and postgraduate midwifery students at Mashhad School of Nursing and Midwifery, Mashhad, Iran. The university students in the workshop group were trained through lectures accompanied by PowerPoint files for a total of 6-8 hours, while the podcast group received three separate 25-minute audio files and discussed them in a Telegram-based group. The objective structured clinical examination was also administered before and two weeks after the training course at four stations. To analyze the data, Chi-squared test, paired t-test, and independent t-test were run in SPSS, version 16. Results: The mean knowledge scores were significantly different between two groups (P=0.004); however, no significant differences were observed between them in terms of educational performance (P=0.63). Conclusion: Podcast-based training using Telegram was more effective in promoting the students’ knowledge regarding legal and religious issues associated with egg donation compared to workshop training; nevertheless, educational performance increased in the same level using both methods.
Building bridges: boundary spanners in servitized supply chains

Purpose Solutions provision depends on effective and efficient supply chains. Existing discourse within servitization has remained at the organisational or inter-organisational level with a limited emphasis on the role of individuals. However, supply chains are not just relationships between organisations, they are complex, inter-personal relationships that span organisational boundaries. The limited focus on boundary spanners and their interactions means that managerial roles critical for the provision of solutions remain unidentified. The purpose of this paper is to identify the functions, roles and practices of boundary spanners that connect organisations and enable the effective provision of solutions. Design/methodology/approach A case study comprising 61 interviews in 11 firms was conducted in the UK network of a commercial vehicles manufacturer, to investigate boundary spanning for product and solutions provision. Findings The functions of boundary spanners move from communicating product and price features in product provision towards strategic communication, dissonance reduction, professional education, consultation and leveraging offerings in solutions provision. The study also identifies the boundary spanning roles and practices that form these functions for solutions provision. Originality/value This is the first study in servitization that identifies and describes the boundary spanning functions, roles and practices. By adopting the lens of boundary spanning, the research addresses the lack of empirical managerial-level enquiry within servitization research. It extends the theoretical discussion on the differences between supply chain management in servitized vs product contexts.
Arenaceous foraminifera from Lower-Middle Devonian boundary beds of western part of the Góry Świętokrzyskie Mts.

Otwornice z pogranicza dewonu dolnego i środkowego zachodniej cześci Gor Świetokrzyskich The paper concerns assemblages of arenaceous foraminifera from the borehole Dąbrowa D-5 (northern part of Kielce). Nine species are described, including the following five new ones: Amphitremoida kielcensis sp. nov. A. pajchlowae sp. nov., Lcigenammina silnica sp. nov., Saccanimina scutella sp. nov. and S. guerichi sp. nov. Five successive assemblages have been distinguished. The indirect biostratigraphical data indicate that the foraminifera bearing deposits from Dąbrova represent the boundary beds of the patulus/partitus conodont zones. It is possible, basing on the foraminiferal fauna, to correlate precisely the Lower-Middle Devonian boundary beds in the western part o f the Gory Świetokrzyskie Mts.
An improved geometric lunar figure from Chang'E-1 and SELENE laser altimetry

Abstract This study calibrates the footprint positions of 8.5 million Chang'E-1 and 8.8 million SELENE laser altimetry measurements against accurately known lunar laser reflector locations. The resulting datasets are used to estimate triaxial, biaxial and spherical models of the lunar figure based on the two datasets individually. The equatorial semi-major, minor and polar axes of the Chang'E-1 and SELENE solutions differ by 143 m, 3 m and 49 m respectively. The differences between their geometric centers and the lunar center of mass along the three axes are 186 m, 3 m, and 52 m. The complete laser altimetry datasets from the two missions reveal a lunar figure that is more spherical than previously thought. Furthermore, the Chang'E-1 and SELENE solutions are in better agreement with each other than either is with the ULCN 2005 lunar figure.
