Nameability effects and short-term memory limitations on order perception and enumeration of brief sounds.

Research has shown that perceiving the order of successive auditory stimuli could be affected by their nameability. The present research re-examined this hypothesis, using tasks requiring participants to report the order of successively presented (with no interstimulus gaps) environmental (i.e.

Organic complexation of copper in throughfall and open field bulk deposition: Influence of the tree canopy of Mediterranean forest ecosystems.

The complexing capacity for Cu ions (L) and the apparent stability constant values (logK) were measured in throughfall (TF) and open field bulk deposition (BD), at two Mediterranean forest ecosystems of western Greece. L was measured for the first time in the TF of natural forests. Concentrations of L were three-to-four-fold higher in TF (mean ± st.
