information is variable because of the time between retrieval‚ which encodes different contextual information. In contrast‚ massed practice context is similar as the information is crammed in one consecutive session and has no variability. This is known as contextual variability when the information is encoded in memory because of the surrounding context (Francisco‚ 2015).

assembling genetic diversity in plant crops. In certain geographical areas there has existed a rich source of variability in crop plants but the encroachment of civilization has reduced the natural variability inherent in primitive plant forms and related species of crop plants. Agricultural process‚ as a result of new breeding programs‚ has reduced rather than increased crop variability as improved cultivars‚ or varieties‚ are planted in wider and wider areas and old cultivars‚ which may contain

time-series (1985 to 2001) of sea surface temperature (SST) data were analyzed for South China Sea (SCS) and Java Sea (Lat: 9oS~24oN‚ Lon: 99oE~121oE). Monthly mean SST anomalies (SSTA) and synoptic anomalies were produced for the observation of SST variability. Comparison between two strong El Niño and La Niña events of 1997-1998 and 1988-1989 were performed by using synoptic SSTA. We attempted to find out seasonal and monthly mean variation of SST and standard deviation‚ and monthly mean SSTA and their

A Process cannot meet specifications (customer expectations) if natural variability exceeds tolerances (specification limits) 3-sigma quality ● specifications equal the process control limits. specifications twice as large as control limits ● 6-sigma quality ● Process Capability PROCESS Natural control limits Design specifications Process cannot meet specifications because the variability of the process

Recent studies on intelligence quotient suggest that much of the variability in IQ for individuals who are of a lower social economic status‚ is due to the environment‚ as SES increases‚ variability in IQ becomes more attributed to genes.

genetic drifts and founder effects experienced by both the black and white rhino. Within the population‚ reproductive mannerisms and social hierarchies involving polygyny and sexual selection can restrict potential sources of genetic variability. Introduction The conservation and biodiversity of a species reflects the well being and fitness of a habitat. The long-term survival of the inhabiting species is comparative and linked to the environment ’s overall health. Population
