Natural habitats vary in the degree to which they are invaded by exotic species, but it is unclear whether they differ in the mechanisms underlying the spatial spread of a given exotic species. To compare the dynamics of invasion in highly invaded nonserpentine oak woodlands and less-invaded serpentine habitats, we used an historical ‘‘experiment’’ consisting of the introduction of several nonn...

this study represents the first report on the chemical composition and biological activity of trifolium angustifolium var. angustifolium. the major components of the essential oil were identified as hexatriacontene (23.0%), arachidic acid (15.5%) and α-selinene (10.0%). the main constituents of the fatty acid obtained from the petroleum ether extract were identified as palmitic acid (29.8%), li...

Diabetic nephropathy is one of the most common and most devastating complications of diabetes. During the course of diabetic retinopathy, the glomeruli are slowly destroyed, usually with no detectable signs until the later stages of the disease, when the kidneys filtration process can no longer function. Throughout this disease, blood flow through the kidneys increases "hyperfiltration", and th...

Deep encoding, relative to shallow encoding, has been shown to increase the probability of false memories in the Deese/Roediger-McDermott (DRM) paradigm (Thapar & McDermott, 2001; Toglia, Neuschatz, & Goodwin, 1999). In two experiments, we showed important limitations on the generalizability of this phenomenon; these limitations are clearly predicted by existing theories regarding the mechanism...

The influence of permanent lexical network in immediate serial recall is well established. The corresponding influence of permanent semantic networks is less clear, although such networks are known to both facilitate memory in long-term memory tasks and to produce false memories in those same tasks. The current experiment involves the study of Deese-Roediger-McDermott (DRM) lists for immediate ...

Are elevated rates of false recall and recognition in the Deese-Roediger-McDermott (DRM) paradigm associated with false autobiographical memories in everyday life? To investigate this issue, the authors recruited participants who reported improbable memories of past lives and compared their DRM performance with that of control participants who reported having lived only one life (i.e., their cu...

Veridical and false memories of children aged 6 to 15 years were studied in two experiments with the retrieval-induced forgetting paradigm. Using the Deese-Roediger-McDermott (DRM) false memory word lists, children's reports of true, but not false, memories showed evidence of retrieval-induced forgetting. These differences were observed across delays as long as 2 days following word list presen...

In this study we investigated the effect of maturity stage on chemical composition, in vitro dry matter digestibility (IVD) and volume of gas produced at 24 h (G24) of forages from Avena sativa L. (oats), Trifolium alexandrinum (berseem), Vicia sativa L. (vetch), Avena sativa-Vicia sativa (OV) and Avena sativaTrifolium alexandrinum (OB) mixtures collected at progressive morphological stages (S1...

Previous research had identified four serogroups of Rhizobium trifolii indigenous to the acidic Abiqua soil (fine, mixed, mesic Cumulic Ultic Haploxeroll). Nodulation of subterranean clover (Trifolium subterraneum L.) by two of the serogroups, 6 and 36, was differentially influenced by an application of CaCO(3) which raised the pH of the soil from 5.0 to 6.5. These studies were designed to char...
