Evidence of regenerative ability in Myxicola infundibulum (Annelida, Sabellida): Evolutionary and systematic implications
No full textMembers of only a few species of annelids are reported as being incapable of regeneration; of these, Myxicola infundibulum is the only example in the family Sabellidae. Interestingly, its congener Myxicola aesthetica exhibits noteworthy regenerative ability. Unambiguously identifying non-regenerating species is critical to reconstructing how regenerative abilities evolved within the phylum. However, studies designed specifically to assess the regenerative potential of M. infundibulum have never been performed. In this study, we aimed to confirm the lack of regeneration ability of M. infundibulum, reported previously for Atlantic specimens, or to determine the extent to which regeneration occurs. Our results showed that individuals from the Mediterranean Sea (Adriatic Sea) do undergo regeneration of lost body parts, although to a lesser extent than do other sabellids. Therefore, M. infundibulum should no longer be considered a non-regenerating species. At present, uncertainties regarding phylogenetic relationships of Sabellidae prevent inferences about the polarity of change in M. infundibulum. Since our findings are counter to those of previous studies which describe Atlantic specimens as non-regenerating, more extensive analysis is required to ascertain if they could actually belong to a different species than Mediterranean M. infundibulum, accounting for these differences in reported regenerative capacity
Validating the Watson Glaser Critical Thinking Appraisal
No full textThis study validated the Watson Glaser Critical Thinking Appraisal (WGCTA) on a sample of 273 private university students in Lebanon. For that purpose, evidence for construct validation was investigated through identifying the test's factor structure and subscale total correlations, in addition to differences in scores by gender, different levels, and streams using a series of ANOVA tests. Evidence for the test's reliability and concurrent validity was also collected. Moreover, students in five courses that emphasize critical thinking were pre-post tested using the WGCTA. Exploratory factor analysis revealed a unidimensional factor while results showed no significant differences in scores on the WGCTA between males and females or between students at different levels except for graduate students in the Business stream. Furthermore, results revealed significant differences for the senior students between different streams. Finally, results showed no statistically significant changes in the mean scores of students who were pre- and post-tested except for nursing students. The test's significant correlations with various criterion measures provided evidence of its convergent and divergent validities. The results were discussed in terms of the nature of the construct itself, and the effects of training and effective instructional strategies on growth of critical thinking. Recommendations for future research were proposed. © Springer Science + Business Media B.V. 2007.*AM U BEIR, 2004, COURS CAT 2004 2005; Bauwens E E, 1987, J Nurs Educ, V26, P278; Beyer B.

Phys. 47, 1097 1982.Author Institution: Centre for Experimental and Constructive Mathematics, Department of Mathematics, National Research Council of CanadaThe transition of acetylene was the first electronic transition for which a change of point group was confirmed in . Previously, harmonic Franck-Condon calculations for this transition were . The present calculations allow for anharmonicity in the ground state, although the upper-state potential is still assumed to be . The transition moment is taken to be proportional to the bending coordinate. For the calculation of the dispersed fluorescence it is found that the global potential surface of Halonen, Child and gives the best qualitative agreement for the intensities, but could be improved for the energies of high bending states
Visual marking and change blindness : moving occluders and transient masks neutralize shape changes to ignored objects
No full textVisual search efficiency improves by presenting (previewing) one set of distractors before the target and remaining distractor items (D. G. Watson & G. W. Humphreys, 1997). Previous work has shown that this preview benefit is abolished if the old items change their shape when the new items are added (e.g., D. G. Watson & G. W. Humphreys, 2002). Here we present 5 experiments that examined whether such object changes are still effective in recapturing attention if the changes occur while the previewed objects are occluded or masked. Overall, the findings suggest that masking transients are effective in preventing both object changes and the presentation of new objects from capturing attention in time-based visual search conditions. The findings are discussed in relation to theories of change blindness, new object capture, and the ecological properties of time-based visual selection.
