DO NOT RESONATE WITH ACTIONS: SENTENCE POLARITY MODULATES CORTICO-SPINAL EXCITABILITY DURING ACTION-RELATED SENTENCE READING.

Do not resonate with actions: sentence polarity modulates cortico-spinal excitability during action-related sentence reading.

BACKGROUND: Theories of embodied language suggest that the motor system is differentially called into action when processing motor-related versus abstract content words or sentences.It has been recently shown that processing negative polarity action-related sentences modulates neural activity of premotor and motor cortices.METHODS AND FINDINGS: We

Evaluation of a Combined System Based on an Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket Reactor (UASB) and Shallow Polishing Pond (SPP) for Textile Effluent Treatment

Abstract Color removal from textile effluents was evaluated using a laboratory-combined process based on an upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor followed by a shallow polishing pond Body Skin Oil (SPP).The anaerobic reactor was fed with a real textile effluent, diluted 10-times in a 350 mg/L solution of pre-treated residual yeast extract
