This study investigated verbal working memory capacity in children with specific language impairment (SLI). The task employed in this study was the Competing Language Processing Task (CLPT) developed by Gaulin and Campbell (1994). A total of 40 school-age children participated in this investigation, including 20 with SLI and 20 normal language (NL) age-matched controls. Results indicated that t...

We introduce a technology for the rapid identification and sequencing of conserved DNA elements employing a novel suspension array based on nanoliter (nl)-reactors made from alginate. The reactors have a volume of 35 nl and serve as reaction compartments during monoseptic growth of microbial library clones, colony lysis, thermocycling and screening for sequence motifs via semi-quantitative fluo...

The electron-ion recombination rate coefficient for Si IV forming Si III was measured at the heavyion storage-ring TSR. The experimental electron-ion collision energy range of 0–186 eV encompassed the 2p nl n′l′ dielectronic recombination (DR) resonances associated with 3s→ nl core excitations, 2s 2p 3s nl n′l′ resonances associated with 2s → nl (n = 3, 4) core excitations, and 2p 3s nl n′l′ re...

the type of training system and application of calcium spray have considerable effects on storability of fruits. in this study, the effects of calcium chloride spray (0, 0.75, 1.5 and 3 g.l-1) in three times during 2, 4 and 6 weeks before harvest time on apple (malus domestica) fruits cvs. ‘gala’ and ‘delbarestival’, which trained in three different training systems (v shape, hightech and cordo...

Human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) is strictly adapted to humans, and cause AIDS only in humans. Consequently, no experimental animals susceptible to HIV-1 and suitable for the AIDS model study are available to date (Nomaguchi et al., 2008, 2011). To overcome this issue, viruses genetically related to HIV-1 have been challenged into macaque monkeys to mimic the natural HIV-1 infection....

background and purpose: trichosporon is a genus of anamorphic basidiomycetous yeast which is widely distributed in nature and is found in tropical and temperate areas. the aim of this work was to study the isolation, identification and molecular analysis of trichosporon species in soil. materials and methods: in order to isolate and identify trichosporon species in soil, 30 samples were collect...

Our recent study indicated that, in the dorsal motor nucleus of the vagus (DMV), the N-methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA) receptor-nitric oxide (NO)-cGMP pathway participated in the regulation of gallbladder motility in rabbits. Oxytocin (OT) is involved as a neurotransmitter in autonomic regulation. The aim of the present experiments is to investigate the effect of OT microinjected into DMV on the ...
