In Panama, terrestrial forests and mangrove ecosystems are very susceptible to insect damage, due the increase in exotic species. The objective of this study was determine relative abundance xylophagous beetles forest Wildlife Refuge RAMSAR protected area, Bay de Panamá wetland. research carried out located areas El Embarcadero, Costa Sur Don Bosco, where 5033 individuals, corresponding 6 famil...

CO In 1940 Hcvlsnd (3) published a it in which retention of serial nonsense lists was measured after 2 min., 10 min., and 24 hr. In one case lists were learned by biassed practice (6-sec. intertrial interval) and in another by distributed practice (2min. intertrial interval). The results clearly showed that retention as measured by both recall and releaming was better following distributed prac...

To compare the effects of 6 weeks of long or short high-intensity interval training (long- or short-HIIT) on body composition, hunger perception, food intake and rating of perceived exertion (RPE). Twenty previously untrained women (25±5 years) were randomly assigned to do a long-HIIT (n=10) or a short-HIIT (n=10). The long-HIIT group performed fifteen 1-min bouts at 90% of maximum heart rate (...

In two experiments, food-deprived rat subjects leverpressed for food in three successive training phases. In the first phase of both experiments, rats were exposed to a multiple schedule, one component of which produced a high rate of response, and the other of which produced a lower rate of response (multiple random ratio [RR], random interval [RI] in Experiment 1, and multiple differential re...

Objectives and Methodology: A critical-mass research effort will explore and advance theoretical understanding of the causal agents, coupling, scale -interactions, and particle kinetics of magnetospheric and ionospheric variability in the ultra-low-frequency regime (from less than 1 mHz up to 1 Hz). Magnetotail oscillations (periods of 10-60 min), magnetospheric boundary and dayside merging pul...

OBJECTIVE(S) It has been reported that ischemic postconditioning, conducted by a series of brief occlusion and release of the bilateral common carotid arteries, confers neuroprotection in permanent or transient models of stroke. However, consequences of postconditioning on embolic stroke have not yet been investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS In the present study, rats were subjected to embolic...

5 Using extensive direct current measurements made during the period 1975-78, we describe flow over the southeastern Bering Sea shelf. Characteristics of the flow permit us to define three distinct regimes, nearly coincident with the hydrographic domains defined in the previous chapter. The coastal regime, inshore of the 50 m isobath, had a slow (1-5 em/sec) counterclockwise mean current and oc...

the purpose of this study was the comparison of neural and performance adaptations to plyometric training versus combined training. 22 young soccer players (age 14.28±0.82 years, weight 41.18±7.5 kg, height 154.5±9.36, body fat 7.43±2.68%) were randomly assigned to plyometric group (plyometric and soccer skills training, pl) (n=8), combined group (combined plyometric and sprint and soccer skill...
