We investigated whether the learning of colour terms in childhood is constrained by a developmental order of acquisition as predicted by Berlin and Kay [1969 Basic Color Terms (Berkeley, CA: University of California Press)]. Forty-three children, aged between 2 and 5 years and grouped according to language ability, were given two tasks testing colour conceptualisation. Colour comprehension was ...

In transactional memory, aborted transactions reduce performance, and waste computing resources. Ideally, concurrent execution of transactions should be optimally ordered to minimise aborts, but such an ordering is often either complex, or unfeasible, to obtain. This paper introduces a new technique called steal-on-abort, which aims to improve transaction ordering at runtime. Suppose transactio...

The generation of cultured red blood cells from stem cell sources may fill an unmet clinical need for transfusion-dependent patients, particularly in countries that lack a sufficient and safe blood supply. Cultured red blood cells were generated from human CD34+ cells from adult peripheral blood or cord blood by ex vivo expansion, and a comprehensive in vivo survival comparison with standard re...

A nutritional study was made of five strains of Bacillus coagulans obtained from various culture collections. These five strains were descendants of two original isolates; three had been derived from one parent culture in years past and the other two were transfers from another parent culture. Therefore, the five cultures should have represented two distinct groups of genetically identical cult...

This study compared the contents of prosapogenin depending on the extracting conditions of Red ginseng to provide basic information for developing Red ginseng-based functional foods. The content of ginsenoside Rg3 reached their maximum value at 24 h of extraction, followed by 36 h and 72 h of extraction at 100°C.

The regulation of solid-state emission based on cocrystal engineering is an emerging strategy for developing next-generation luminescent materials. Here, three cocrystals (AA-DITFB, AA-TFTPA and AA-TCNB) 9-anthraldehyde (9-AA) are reported, which exhibit a broad range green-to-red emission. Tuning the photophysical properties 9-AA via different mechanisms. Compared with single-component crystal...

Red historical resources are an important carrier of red spiritual culture, but they also a non-renewable wealth. In order to promote the spread application value enriching is high significance. this regard, paper takes tourism as background, explores VR technology in digital development Anhui province, and puts forward basic principles resources, well guarantee resources.

A between participants design was employed to test for the effects of Red Bull on cognitive abilities in a placebo controlled experiment outside of a laboratory setting. A total of 49 volunteer participants took part and were randomly allocated to either the Red Bull (250ml’s) (N=15), placebo beverage (250ml’s) (N=20) or control group (no drink) (N=14). An online computerised experiment tested ...
