TL;DR: In this article, male and female judges were given photographs, previously scaled as high, moderate, or low in physical attractiveness, and were asked to record their impressions of the stimulus persons on an adjective checklist.
Abstract: Male and female judges were given photographs, previously scaled as high, moderate, or low in physical attractiveness, and were asked to record their impressions of the stimulus persons on an adjective checklist. The results showed high attractiveness to be associated with positive traits, the reverse holding for low attractiveness. The data are consistent with the hypothesis that, in a first-impression situation, a person’s level of attractiveness may evoke in a perceiver a consistent set of expectancies by a process of trait inference. This kind of process accords well with previous research relating physical attractiveness to interpersonal processes.

TL;DR: A biosystematic study reveals a quantitative and qualitative basis for morphological separation of Capsicum baccatum into two taxa, while cytological and genetic data indicate their close similarity.
Abstract: Capsicum baccatum L. has frequently been treated as two distinct species,C. microcarpum Cav. andC. pendulum Willd. A biosystematic study reveals a quantitative and qualitative basis for morphological separation ofC. baccatum into two taxa, while cytological and genetic data indicate their close similarity. A resolution of this apparent contradiction can be found in a “gigas” effect imparted to all the organ systems of cultivatedC. baccatum while the fruit has been under intense subconscious and conscious artificial selective pressures for an increase in size. Few, if any, incipient genetic barriers have arisen to separateC. baccatum into distinct species. CultivatedC. baccatum has been isolated by man in a number of localities outside the range of wildC. baccatum. Where both cultivated and wildC. baccatum occur sympatrically, they are effectively isolated by an inbreeding mechanism and agricultural practices. On the basis of this investigationC. baccatum is treated as a wild variety,C. baccatum L. var.baccatum, and a cultivated variety,C. baccatum var.pendulum (Willd.) Eshbaugh.

TL;DR: Microorganisms provide an excellent supplement for conventional foodstuffs and food industries and the governments of developing countries should be encouraged to remedy deficient diets with enriching supplements of microbial origin.
Abstract: Publisher Summary Microorganisms provide an excellent supplement for conventional foodstuffs. Microorganisms can be utilized to furnish an unlimited supply of nutrient without requiring the cultivation of too much land. The gap between food supply and human population has widened steadily in recent years and the balance is greatly in favor of population growth. Food supplements from microorganisms can be cheap, palatable, wholesome, and without any toxic effect. Absence of equilibration is attributed mainly to the ever increasing rate of growth of world population, low death rate (especially among children), and no significant increase in the production of food stuff, compounded by inadequate distribution. The population growth in the 20th century is a soaring parameter, whereas the source and the production of conventional food supply are at a steady state. Food industries and the governments of developing countries should be encouraged to remedy deficient diets with enriching supplements of microbial origin.

TL;DR: The results were interpreted as demonstrating the relevance of I-E in interpersonal perception, and in particular the cue value of physical attractiveness in evoking varying perceptions of I -E in a first impression setting.
Abstract: 420 male and 324 female Ss were given photographs, previously scaled as being high, moderate, or low in physical attractiveness, and were instructed to fill out Rotter's I-E scale as they thought the person in the photograph would Persons low in attractiveness were perceived as more external in I-E control than persons either high or moderately attractive, there being no difference between the latter In addition, males perceived females as significantly more external than males, although female Ss did not make this distinction The results were interpreted as demonstrating the relevance of I-E in interpersonal perception, and in particular the cue value of physical attractiveness in evoking varying perceptions of I-E in a first impression setting

TL;DR: The sole flavonoid of etiolated barley plumules is saponarin, a C-glycosylflavone restricted to the primary leaves, which may be in part translocated into other parts of the seedling as the apical 1 cm of the plumule shows a more rapid recovery under these conditions.

TL;DR: It was found in Experiment 1 that saccharin consumption is related to drive; hungry mice at first drank more than did nonhungry mice until the 11th day, after which the former group dropped off and was equalled by the latter.
Abstract: In one experiment 10 C57BL/6J and 10 DBA2/J mice received saccharin in daily 1/2-h sessions for 19 days while hungry or satiated. A second experiment involved giving these same mice saccharin or glucose and saccharin plus glucose for 24-h periods with or without solid food. It was found in Experiment 1 that saccharin consumption is related to drive; hungry mice at first drank more than did nonhungry mice until the 11th day, after which the former group dropped off and was equalled by the latter. The effect was more pronounced for C57 than for DBA mice—apparently related to strain differences in natural preferences for saccharin. Both strains drank large amounts of saccharin plus glucose in Experiment 2, especially when hungry. The results are discussed within the context of research on food habits.
TL;DR: In this article, the relation of intraserial repetition to memory was examined under each of four conditions of probed recall: chosen as probes were the item or the pair of items preceding a target item, the item succeeding the target items, or the serial position of the target item.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated group risk taking as a function of the internal-external control level of group members and found that groups composed of external Ss would manifest a greater risky shift and would reach group consensus in significantly less time than groups of internal Ss.
Abstract: Group risk taking was investigated as a function of the internal-external control level of group members. Using an experimental paradigm of Kogan and Wallach, it was predicted that groups composed of external Ss would manifest a greater risky shift and would reach group consensus in significantly less time than groups of internal Ss. The results demonstrated the risky-shift phenomenon for each group type and indicated that female groups reached consensus significantly faster than male groups. However, the predictions relating internal-external control to group risk taking were not supported.
TL;DR: In this article, the absolute coincidence cross sections were measured for the reaction 3 He(d, tp)p at E d = 20.7 MeV, and deep minima were observed in the cross sections when the relative energy of either p+p or t+p was below ≈ 20 keV.
TL;DR: It is proposed that the ancestral stock of the present sand lizard genera possibly first divided in the early Miocene, and all specimens studied possessed the same major and minor hemoglobin components.
TL;DR: Hemoglobin components of Sceloporus were species group specific, species specific or polymorphic, depending upon the particular species group examined.
TL;DR: Amino-acid analyses of peptide fragments obtained from insulin digests and incubations of the enzyme with some dipeptides of the same sequences as found in the B-chain suggest a preference for leucyl, tyrosyl, and phenylalanyl residues.
TL;DR: In this article, the full collineation group G(α) is shown not to be acutely transitive, and it is not completely determined, except for the quadratic case in which the full group was known to be the appropriate symplectic group.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined a unique property of shock, i.e., the absence of a clearly perceivable source of the stimulus, and found that the group without an object present was significantly more emotional than the group with an object presented or the group presented with the object only.
Abstract: The present study examines a unique property of shock, i.e., the absence of a clearly perceivable source of the stimulus. Twenty-four male and female Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into three groups: object alone, shock alone, and shock plus object. Using three open-field measures of emotionality, it was found that the group shocked without an object present was significantly more emotional than the group shocked with an object present or the group presented with the object only
TL;DR: The "no" and "yes" answers to the question "Can a man intend to do the impossible?" were both given by the authors of this paper as discussed by the authors, and both answers rest on important insights, thus giving rise to an apparent dilemma.
Abstract: I CAN A man intend to do the impossible? That is, can a man undertake to do some action, A-and not merely to come as close as possible to doing A with the hope that the doing of A will result-when he believes he has no chance of doing A? 1 In this paper I will consider two answers that have been given to this question: the "no" answer of Stuart Hampshire and the "yes" answer of Irving Thalberg.2 I will argue that both answers rest on important insights, thus giving rise to an apparent dilemma. However, in the final section of this paper I will argue for still a third answer that allows us to escape the dilemma.

TL;DR: Retrogressive analysis of the cn gene effect has been performed on crooked neck dwarf chick embryos between stages 28–38, providing some explanation for “escapers,” homozygous lethal embryos known to survive until hatching.
Abstract: Retrogressive analysis of the cn gene effect has been performed on crooked neck dwarf chick embryos between stages 28–38 (5–12 days). The phenocritical stage of mutant embryos studied is stage 29. Histolytic degeneration of neck tissues is first recognized by the appearance of localized degenerate nuclei in the tracheal mesenchyme. Pleiotropic autolysis of the embryonic thymus, loose mesenchyme and the ventral neck tissue is also observed. Histolysis occurs in a caudocephalic gradient in all cn-affected embryos. The degenerative effects in crooked neck dwarf embryos vary in their intensity, but the pattern of autolysis seems constant. Histological observations provide some explanation for “escapers,” homozygous lethal embryos known to survive until hatching. A mechanism for surviving developmental crises in cn embryos is proposed.
TL;DR: A school may partition its student body on the basis of mathematical ability and offer different programs to each group, with a core of quantitative business courses provided and alternative programs offered for non-quantitatively oriented students.
Abstract: While the quantitative content of business programs has increased over the last decade, there is still room for improvement. One of the problems facing many schools is lack of mathematical ability among students. This is particularly true in schools with open admission policies. As an alternative to high admission standards, a school may partition its student body on the basis of mathematical ability and offer different programs to each group. Initially all students would follow a non-terminal mathematies sequence. Those performing well in this sequence would be encouraged to elect advanced courses in mathematics. A core of quantitative business courses would be provided. Quantitative programs in the functional areas of business would be built around this core. Alternative programs would be offered for non-quantitatively oriented students.
