Abstract:
... The role of phonological loop and visuospatial sketchpad in wayfinding was tested in a virtual maze employing dual-task paradigm through two experiments. Experiment 1 was designed to detect the effects of experimental conditions (control/phonological dual-task/visuospatial dual-task group) and gender on wayfinding performance. The results showed that it took more time in dual-task groups than the ...

Abstract:
... Among the reproductive biotechnologies, in vitro embryo production (IVEP) is an important tool for multiplying genetic material of superior merit. Recently, the number of embryos produced and transferred in vitro became significantly higher than that produced in vivo worldwide. In this context, the enhancement was attributable to ovum pick-up (OPU). With the advent of genomic technology, shortened ...

Abstract:
... Recent neuroscience research has delineated key psychological components of reward: wanting, liking and learning. Each component is further divided into explicit and implicit processes. While explicit processes are consciously experienced, implicit processes are not always directly accessible to conscious inspection. In the present study, we investigated the effect of metabolic state on implicit a ...

This difference was maintained throughout Stage 2 by the females that served in Experiments 1 and 4 and by th ...

Abstract:
... Carpels, the female reproductive organs of flowering plants, are of major economic importance since much of our food is ultimately derived from carpel tissue and they are a defining innovation for flowering plants. Amazingly, little is known about the origin and conservation of the developmental program of the carpel besides the knowledge generated by utilizing Arabidopsis thaliana. However, in th ...

This genus is similar to Leucospilomutilla Ashmead, 1903, which is also reviewed here. The previously unk ...

Abstract:
... Crime-scenes are the heart of any investigation in terms of recovery of key forensic evidence - fingermarks and DNA. Yet, quite often, the operational work of the forensic units, in which different chemicals and reagents for fingermarks development are applied, can also be highly destructive to the property and the environment. Hence, for both ecological and intelligence purposes, an operational m ...

Abstract:

When computing mean daily fertility in adult female tsetse, the common practice of taking the reciprocal of the interlarval period (called averaged fertility) was compared with the method of taking the sum of the products of daily fertility and adult survivorship divided by the sum of daily survivorships (called periodic fertility). The latter method yielded a consistently higher measure of fertil ...

Abstract:
... The osteometric methods are the most reliable way to estimate the sex of skeletons when DNA analysis is not used. However, as osteometric studies usually ignore the overlap in male and female skeletal dimensions, they rarely achieve accuracy sufficient for forensic application. To resolve this issue, recent studies suggest sex estimation only when posterior probability (pp) is greater than 0.95, b ...

Abstract:
... Research investigating neural responses to visual food stimuli has produced inconsistent results. Crucially, high-caloric palatable foods have a double-sided nature – they are often craved but are also considered unhealthy – which may have contributed to the inconsistency in the literature. Taking this double-sided nature into account in the current study, neural responses to individually tailored ...

We studied this case of uncertain identity by using traditional Sanger sequencing techniques (COI and seven nuclear gene ...
