PURPOSE This study evaluates the extent to which bilingual children produce the same or overlapping responses on tasks assessing semantic skills in each of their languages and whether classification analysis based on monolingual or conceptual scoring can accurately classify the semantic development of typically developing (TD) bilingual children. METHOD In Study 1, 55 TD children (ages 4;0 [y...

The new species is a member of an apparently monophyletic group within the genus that includes R. flexile, R. walga, R. himanturi, R. burgeri, R. euzeti, R. hawaiiensis, R. urobatidium, R. paratrygoni, R. ditesticulum, R. tetralobatum, R. margaritense, R. biorchidum, and R. spinicephalum. All of these species have bothridia with medial longitudinal septa, a constriction at mid-bothridium, and, ...

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) system can be read by radio wave within several metres without having direct contact. Many research focus on improving security and privacy problem. Recently, Rizomiliotis et al. point out that Song-Mitchell protocol is vulnerable to the denial of service attack, since the attacker can easily modify the data to make the server and the tag out of synchronisa...

The Editorial in Addiction on 2 August by Mitchell et al [1] on the closure of addiction libraries highlights an issue that has been going on for a decade or more. It is only part of a wider phenomenon of equal interest to researchers in the addictions field, especially in respect of drugs. The authors have rightly flagged up in respect of the UK the downsizing/closing of specialist addiction l...

Play behavior involves both risks and benefits. It demands energy and exposes the animal to risks such as injuries, falls and greater susceptibility to predators (Fagen 1981). Sharpe et al. (2002) demonstrated that meerkats with less food availability could not afford the cost of play because they were either conserving their energy or looking for food. Furthermore, not only is play risky for t...

The ultimate goal of short-term tests should surely be to detect the complete spectrum of heritable effects or genetic events involved in the aetiology of cancer. Thus the types of mutational events that must be detected include point mutations, deletions, translocations, rearrangements, aneuploidy and mitotic recombination/gene conversion. The mouse lymphoma assay (MLA) has been widely used fo...
