Theta bandwidth determines human visual
Theta bandwidth determines human visual working memory capacity Human visual short term memory (VSTM) is capacity limited1. The neurophysiological basis for this limitation is, however, currently unknown. Here we apply the principle of efficient information transfer, derived from communications theory, to provide a mechanistic account of VSTM capacity. Shannon's information theory states that to increase the capacity of information encoded along a frequency axis, it is more efficient to expand the bandwidth than to increase the transmitted power for a given level of noise2. By applying Shannon's principles to human magnetoencephalography (MEG) recordings of oscillatory activity in the theta band during a VSTM task, we demonstrate that increasing memory load to capacity induces a parametric shift in theta frequency band during the delay period, from 4 to 8 Hz, in a right fronto-parietal network. Critically, we show that an individual's VSTM capacity is proportional to that parametric shift. Thus, the adherence of cortical neuronal oscillations to a fundamental principle of efficient information transfer appears to underlie the limited nature of visual representation in short-term memory.

Response of cottonseed oil products to t
Response of cottonseed oil products to the kreis test for rancidity : In the Kreis test a fat or oil is shaken with equal volumes of hydrochloric acid and a solution of phloroglucinol in ether. The development of a red color indicates that the fat or oil is rancid; its formation is probably due to the presence of aldehydes or ketones in the material tested. Chromogenetic substances, which give a positive Kreis reaction, occur in crude cottonseed oil. The researches of W. B. Smith (Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry, 1920, xii, 764–766)

Dr. Charles Rice**Presented by J. T. Lloyd, Section on Historical Pharmacy, A. Ph. A., Dallas meeting, 1936, who stated as follows:To account for the origin of this paper, I will explain that it is the stenographic record of a statement made by my father, about fifteen years ago, in response to my request that he tell me what he knew concerning Dr. Charles Rice. When the notes were transcribed I submitted the paper to my father for approval or correction. He made little if any change, but requested me not to make use of it during his lifetime. This paper I am now presenting.– J. T. Lloyd.

Keep it simple: three indicators to deal
Keep it simple: three indicators to deal with overfishing : Ghoti papers Ghoti aims to serve as a forum for stimulating and pertinent ideas. Ghoti publishes succinct commentary and opinion that addresses important areas in fish and fisheries science. Ghoti contributions will be innovative and have a perspective that may lead to fresh and productive insight of concepts, issues and research agendas. All Ghoti contributions will be selected by the editors and peer reviewed. Ethimology of Ghoti George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950), polymath, playwright, Nobel prize winner, and the most prolific letter writer in history, was an advocate of English spelling reform. He was reportedly fond of pointing out its absurdities by proving that ‘fish’ could be spelt ‘ghoti’. That is: ‘gh’ as in ‘rough’, ‘o’ as in ‘women’ and ‘ti’ as in palatial.
