title: "Sentence processing" content: on one of the possible interpretations immediately without waiting to hear or read more words that might help decide which interpretation is correct (the behaviour is called "incremental processing"). If readers are surprised by the turn the sentence really takes, processing is slowed and is visible for example in reading times. Locally-ambiguous sentences have, therefore, been used as test cases to investigate the influence of a number of different factors on human sentence processing. If a factor helps readers to avoid difficulty, it is clear that the factor plays a factor in sentence processing. Experimental research has spawned a large

In 1843, German botanist Carl Adolf Terscheck named a specimen of cactus collected in Mexico "Echinocactus reichenbachii", but his description was incomplete and proved unhelpful to later scholars. During the years 1848 to 1856, George Engelmann made extensive studies of a plant he named "Echinocereus caespitosus". Prior to this Joseph zu Salm-Reifferscheidt-Dyck referred to plants in European collections as "Echinopsis pectinate var. reichenbachiana", and he later discussed the possibility with Engelmann that these two plants were one and the same. Despite the early indication of a naming error, Engelmann's binomial was used to

Haage Jr. changed Terscheck's "Echinocactus reichenbachii" to "Echinocereus reichenbachii", which Nathaniel Lord Britton and Joseph Nelson Rose later adopted. This broke with the long-standing botanical tradition to use the earliest known name, but because Terscheck's description was lacking and possibly referred to as many as a dozen species, his binomial was supplanted by Haage's. Variations of "Echinocereus reichenbachii" include "E. reichenbachii" var. "albertii", "E. reichenbachii" var. "fitchii", "E. reichenbachii" var. "albispinus", "E. reichenbachii" ssp.

The reservoir is located at an elevation of 1,313 m and comprises an area of 14 square kilometres. It is located in the natural park known as the "Gran Sasso e Monti della Laga National Park". The lake is reachable via the Italian State Highway 80 from either L'Aquila or the Adriatic Coast. Smaller roads lead to Capitignano, Montereale and Amatrice. During the Quaternary Period of glacier formation, the Campotosto water basin had the form of a double "Y". Towards the end of this period, the

The upper portion of the artificial lake maintains the previously seen double "Y" formation that on the lower side is shaped more like a single "V". The area where the lake now sits was once a vast peat bog, this used as an energy source by the local small industries up until the early 20th century. Lake Campotosto was created in the 1930s by means of constructing three dikes. The main reason for creating the lake was to establish a water reservoir that could be used to generate hydroelectric power in the Vomano valley.

It was used to transport building materials and to carry earth away from the excavations. From Capitignano the rail line headed to L'Aquila following a course that had earlier been used for the transportation of peat. The rail line was abandoned soon after construction of the lake was completed. During the winter the lake freezes completely over while in the fall many people come for a visit to admire the colorful foliage in the nearby forests.

Its wings are transparent with a reddish-brown border. It has light-colored legs, which combined with the lack of striping on the underside is diagnostic. Beating its wings rapidly, "H. thysbe" hovers to collect nectar from a variety of flowers. The combination of its appearance and its behavior commonly leads to it being confused with a hummingbird or bumblebee. "Hemaris thysbe"

As a caterpillar, it feeds on honeysuckle, dogbane, and several types of fruit trees. Due to the variable appearance of "H. thysbe", it has often been mistakenly described as multiple distinct species. It was first

The body of an adult "Hemaris thysbe" moth is spindle shaped, and is largely covered by a thick coat of fur. There is significant variation in coloration between individuals. Typically, the back side of the moth is olive to golden-olive on the thorax and burgundy to black with light olive to dark golden patches on the abdomen. The underside of the moth is white to yellow on the thorax and burgundy to black on the abdomen. When it first hatches, the wings of "H. thysbe" are dark

"Hemaris thysbe" can be distinguished from "Hemaris gracilis" and "Hemaris diffinis" by the lack of stripes on the underside of its thorax and by its pale legs. (Legs are reddish in "H. gracilis" and black in "H. diffinis".) The "H. thysbe" caterpillar is yellowish green with bands of dark green and reddish brown to dark brown. It has a granulose body with small, white spots and a white horn projecting from the its posterior. As a caterpillar,

"H. thysbe" lays green eggs on the underside of plant leaves, which hatch in about a week. Development takes four weeks, after which the caterpillar spins a cocoon at ground level. Two to four weeks later a moth emerges for a second breeding cycle before summer's end in southern climates. In northern climates, "H. thysbe" has a single mating cycle per year. The mating

"H. thysbe" is not endangered or threatened. "Hemaris thysbe" was first described by Johan Christian Fabricius in 1775 as "Sesia thysbe" in his "Systema Entomologiae". The specific name is likely a reference to Thisbe, half of a pair of ill-fated lovers in Ovid's "Metamorphoses". The name thus associates the blood-stained scarf of Thisbe to the reddish-brown coloration of the moth. Due to the variable coloration and wing patterning of "H. thysbe", it, along with other members of "Hermaris", were described as

He thus concluded that the many variations represent a single species. Species collapsed into "H. thysbe" include: Hemaris thysbe Hemaris thysbe, the hummingbird clearwing, is a moth of the family Sphingidae (hawkmoths).

title: "Vanilla planifolia" content: Madagascar. Like all members of the genus "Vanilla", "V. planifolia" is a vine. It uses its fleshy roots to support itself as it grows. Flowers are greenish-yellow, with a diameter of 5 cm (2 in). They last only a day, and must be pollinated manually, during the morning, if fruit is desired. The plants are self-fertile, and pollination simply requires a transfer of the pollen from the anther to the stigma. If pollination does not occur, the flower is dropped the next day. In the wild, there is less than 1% chance that the flowers will be pollinated, so in


title: "Vanilla planifolia" content: order to receive a steady flow of fruit, the flowers must be hand-pollinated when grown on farms. Fruit is produced only on mature plants, which are generally over 3 m (10 ft) long. The fruits are 15–23 cm (6–9 in) long pods (often incorrectly called beans). Outwardly they resemble small bananas. They mature after about five months, at which point they are harvested and cured. Curing ferments and dries the pods while minimizing the loss of essential oils. Vanilla extract is obtained from this portion of the plant. The major chemical components from the pods are vanillin, vanillic acid, 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde

When propagating vanilla orchids from cuttings or harvesting ripe vanilla pods, care must be taken to avoid contact with the sap from the plant's stems. The sap of most species of Vanilla orchid which exudes from cut stems or where beans are harvested can cause moderate to severe dermatitis if it comes in contact with bare skin. Washing the affected area with warm soapy water will effectively remove the sap in cases of accidental contact with the skin. The sap of vanilla orchids contains calcium oxalate crystals, which appear to be the main causative agent of contact
