When moderately hedonically positive test stimuli are presented following better-liked context stimuli, preferences between the test stimuli are reduced.

Subjects who were instructed that the context and test stimuli were from different categories exhibited less hedonic condensation.

Inclusive K_{S};{0}K_{S};{0} production in ep collisions at the DESY ep collider HERA was studied with the ZEUS detector using an integrated luminosity of 0.5 fb;{-1}. Enhancements in the mass spectrum were observed and are attributed to the production of f_{2}(1270)/a_{2};{0}(1320), f_{2};{'}(1525) and f_{0}(1710).
