OBJECTIVE The Rey Auditory-Verbal Learning Test is a widely recognized test in neuropsychological literature to evaluate learning and memory. This paper presents the performance of six age groups of Brazilian elderly on the Rey Auditory-Verbal Learning Test. METHOD A version of the test was developed with a list of high-frequency one-syllable and two-syllable concrete Portuguese substantives....

This paper reports on the first test of the value of an online curriculum in social intelligence (SI). Built from current social and cognitive neuroscience research findings, the 50 session SI program was administered, with facilitation in Spanish by classroom instructors, to 207 students from Universidad Rey Juan Carlos in Madrid as part of their undergraduate classes. All materials were trans...

OBJECTIVE The Rey Auditory-Verbal Learning Test, which is used to evaluate learning and memory, is a widely recognized tool in the general literature on neuropsychology. This paper aims at presenting the performance of Brazilian adult subjects on the Rey Auditory-Verbal Learning Test, and was written after we published a previous study on the performance of Brazilian elderly subjects on this sa...

Deep-sea sediments have attracted much attention as a promising resource for rare-earth elements and yttrium (REY). In this study, we show statistically independent components characterising REY-enrichment in the abyssal ocean that are decoded by Independent Component Analysis of a multi-elemental dataset of 3,968 bulk sediment samples from 101 sites in the Pacific and Indian oceans. This study...

We present a general framework for representing belief-revision rules and use it to characterize Bayes’s rule as a classical example and Je¤rey’s rule as a non-classical one. In Je¤rey’s rule, the input to a belief revision is not simply the information that some event has occurred, as in Bayes’s rule, but a new assignment of probabilities to some events. Despite their di¤erences, Bayes’s and J...

the authors present new data on Mytilus edulis shells REY content and fractionation as a potential proxy for REY content in seawater. The potential impact of pH and temperature on such REY signal in the mussel shells is investigated, as well as the potential process of shells REY incorporation. Part of the paper also deals with shell preparation and analytical procedures for analyses of such lo...

Detailed geochemical and mineralogical insights into some of the richest rare earth elements yttrium (REY)-containing bioapatites from ocean-floor sediments have been provided by combining laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS), electron probe microanalysis (EPMA), Rietveld X-ray diffraction analysis, Ce L3-edge high energy-resolution absorption near edge struct...

The origin of deep-sea sediments in the western North Pacific Ocean, which are significantly enriched rare-earth elements and yttrium (REY), its paleoceanographic implications have been poorly constrained. Here, we investigated stratigraphic variations chemical compositions textures ferromanganese (Fe–Mn) micronodules separated from sediments. characteristics an extremely REY-rich mud layer var...
