The production of complex sequences like music or speech requires the rapid and temporally precise production of events (e.g., notes and chords), often at fast rates. Memory retrieval in these circumstances may rely on the simultaneous activation of both the current event and the surrounding context (Lashley, 1951). We describe an extension to a model of incremental retrieval in sequence produc...

A very brief introduction sketches the impact of liberalisation on land in Africa, then looks at the deeper context of land reform, and at the current role of donors. The article goes on to look at detailed case studies of Uganda, Mozambique and South Africa and examines reasons for successes and failu...

The horizontal and vertical distributions of selected taxa that dcminate the pelagic zooplankton com· munity (> 0.2 mm) within the Palmer Loog-Tenn Ecological Research (LTFR) ItUdy region are described. In addition to a synthesis of existing published descriptions for euphawiids, saIps, and copepods, two newly available datasets are analyud . Recent observations (1991-1994) obtained as part of ...

drought is a normal, recurring feature of climate phenomena; it may occur virtually in all climatic regions. the effects of drought accumulate slowly and its impacts are spread over a larger geographical area than other natural hazards. drought is a natural hazard originating from a deficiency of precipitation that result in a water shortage for some activities or some groups and is often assoc...
