Memory for pictures and words - perceptual and semantic factors in the picture superiority effect Georg Stenberg, Växjö University, Sweden Memory for pictures is known to surpass memory for corresponding concrete words, an effect often attributed to the more distinctive perceptual form of pictures. A consequence of this view is that picture superiority would not survive a transformation in which o
Abstract Background: Total plasma homocysteine (tHcy) concentration is increased in elderly patients with mental illness. Also, patients with vascular disease have significantly higher plasma tHcy concentration compared with patients without vascular disease. Apolipoprotein E (apoE) status is associated with cardiovascular disease and a major genetic risk factor is inheritance of the e4 allele. In
We report on a theoretical study of the electronic structure of free-standing InAs and InP nanowires grown along the [100] crystallographic direction, based on an atomistic tight-binding approach. The band structure and wave functions for nanowires with both square (nanowires) and rectangular (nanobelts) cross sections are calculated. A comparison is made between the calculations for InAs, InP, an
Households play a crucial role in the management of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). As waste generators, their decisions at the point of disposal hold a key to a success of WEEE collection. This article presents main findings from a national survey in Thailand about the reported disposal behaviors in the past and the stated disposal preferences in the future. The survey covered t
