Uptake of taurocholic acid into isolated rat-liver cells.

Binding and transport characteristics for uptake of taurocholic acid by isolated rat liver cells were studied. 1. An adsorption of taurocholate to the cell surface is terminated in less than 15 s.

A developmental study of the pragmatic communication rule for prenominal adjective ordering*.

First-, fourth-, and eighth-grade children and college undergraduates indicated preference for either normal or inverted orders of prenominal adjectives (for example,the large red car or the red large car, respectively) to describe a pictorial referent. Preference for the normal order of adjectives first appeared with the fourth graders. When communication context was vaxied by presenting a nonreferent that required a color adjective for discrimination from the referent, college students increased their preference for the inverted order.

Comprehension of prenominal adjective orders.

In two experiments, phrases descrying a referent object contained two prenominal adjectives in either normal or inverted order. The time to identify the position of the referent in a display was a function of both the adjective order and the nortreferent context. If the referent appeared with a nonreferent differing from it only in size or number, the normal order of adjectives facilitated responding.
