The primacy model: A new model of immediate serial recall
(1998-10)
A new model of immediate serial recall is presented: the primacy model. The primacy model stores order information by means of the assumption that the strength of activation of successive list items decreases across list ...
Neutron capture cross section of Ti-44
(1998-10)
The cross section for thermal neutron capture by radioactive Ti-44 was measured to be sigma(gamma) = 1.1 +/- 0.2 b. This result was shown to be in agreement with a direct capture calculation. Possible implications of the ...
Caterpillar : Two stories and an argument
(1998-10-01)
This article responds to Miller and O'Leary's account of the reorganization of Caterpillar's Decatur plant. The first section explains how Miller and O'Leary use specific discourse mechanisms and quote management. The ...
Contraction with shortening during stimulation or during relaxation : how do the energetic costs compare?
(1998-10)
White muscle fibres from dogfish were used to compare the energetic costs of shortening by fully active muscle and by relaxing muscle. The muscle preparation was tetanized for 0.6 s and shortened either during stimulation ...
Latitude distributions and lifetimes of star-spots on G dwarfs in the alpha Persei cluster
(1998-09-21)
We present a set of maximum-entropy reconstructions of the star-spot distributions on two rapidly rotating G dwarfs in the alpha Persei cluster, from spectra taken at the William Herschel Telescope on three nights in 1996 ...
Imaging polarimetry of class I young stellar objects
(1998-09-21)
We present near-infrared imaging polarimetry of three class I young stellar objects in the Taurus-Auriga dark cloud. We use Monte Carlo simulations to analyse the flux distributions and polarization patterns of these three ...
Incorporation of the acetylcholine receptor dimer from Torpedo californica in a peptide supported lipid membrane investigated by surface plasmon and fluorescence spectroscopy
(1998-09-15)
The dimer species (M-r 580 000) of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, isolated from the electric organ of Torpedo californica, was incorporated into a thiopeptide supported lipid bilayer. The incorporation was achieved ...
Antimicrobial resistance: a veterinary perspective
(1998-09-05)
Bacterial disease is a major constraint on the efficient production of animal derived food and causes ill health and suffering in both food producing and companion animals. In some production systems the spread of bacterial ...
A Pernicious panacea: a critical evaluation of business re-engineering
(1998-09)
This article investigates the practicalities of implementing business process re-engineering (BPR) through two case studies, DefCo and ServiCo in the public sector. It demonstrates the destructive and insidious nature of ...
Low-metallicity inhibition of type Ia supernovae and galactic and cosmic chemical evolution
(1998-08-20)
We introduce a metallicity dependence of the Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) rate into the Galactic and cosmic chemical evolution models. In our SN Ia progenitor scenario, the accreting white dwarf (WD) blows a strong wind to ...
