Several studies using the production of 1-s intervals report instability in the results. This suggests that there is no clear representation of the value of 1 s in long-term memory. This instability may partly be explained by the specific methodological requirements of studies using 1-s production tasks. Typically, this task requires participants to produce 1-s intervals by either using two intermittent finger taps (one at the beginning and one at the end of the interval), or by continuously pressing a key for the duration of the second. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of two main factors on the production of 1-s intervals, namely the effects of kinesthetic cues (continuous press vs. two intermittent presses) and auditory cues (sound vs. no sound) during the production of each interval. Participants produced 30 1-s intervals under four conditions. The results showed significant effects of both kinesthetic and auditory factors on the produced intervals. The kinesthetic effects applied to both the accuracy (staying close to the 1-s target) and precision (minimizing intertrial variability), and the auditory effects were limited to accuracy. This study highlights that the expression of what is likely a representation of the psychological second in long-term memory is prone to much distortion. Explanations of this instability of the psychological second are explored, including the simultaneous involvement of circuits related to sub- (< 1 s) and supra-second (> 1 s) intervals and individual differences in the internal clock.

Background: People with cystic fibrosis (CF) variants that exhibit residual function (RF) of the CF transmembrane conductance regulator are considered to have a milder disease; however, the spectrum of CF phenotype within the different RF variants has not been extensively investigated. The aim of the present study was to characterise the spectrum of CF disease severity in people with CF (pwCF) carrying different RF variants, using the European Cystic Fibrosis Society Patient Registry (ECFSPR) data.
Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional and longitudinal cohort study included data from the ECFSPR during 2008-2016.

The redox state of the plastoquinone (PQ) pool in thylakoids plays an important role in the regulation of chloroplast metabolism. In the light, the PQ pool is mostly reduced, followed by oxidation after light cessation. It has been believed for a long time that dark oxidation depends on oxygen, although the precise mechanisms of the process are still unknown and debated.

The N1 auditory evoked potential amplitude depends heavily on the inter-stimulus interval (ISI). Typically, shorter ISIs result in reduced N1 amplitudes, suggesting a decreased neural response with high stimulus presentation rates. However, an exception known as N1 facilitation occurs with very brief ISIs (∼150-500 ms), where the N1 amplitude increases.

Introduction: In pediatric urology, urodynamic studies are considered the most reliable method for assessing the function of the lower urinary tract. These evaluations play a particularly important role in guiding treatment decisions for neurogenic bladder conditions.
Objective: The aim of this study is to assess the impact of artifacts on the interobserver and intraobserver agreement in the interpretation of pediatric urodynamic traces.
