Other evidence comes from experimental studies showing that some manipulations ( e. g., a distractor task, such as repeatedly subtracting a single-digit number from a larger number following learning ; cf Brown-Peterson procedure ) impair memory for the 3 to 5 most recently learned words of a list ( it is presumed, still held in short-term memory ), while leaving recall for words from earlier in the list ( it is presumed, stored in long-term memory ) unaffected ; other manipulations ( e. g., semantic similarity of the words ) affect only memory for earlier list words, but do not affect memory for the last few words in a list.

Some early experimental studies ( Kirk and Grills, 1992 ) it was shown that subjects who were genetically predisposed to baldness were found to be 78 % more likely to experience taste loss sensations in 5 out of 5 taste trials. It was hypothesized that this was due to ' balding ' of the tongue.

Also, during the 1970s and 1980s, Belper was the site of an experimental three-tier education system, comprising a number of primary schools ( age 5 – 9 years ), feeding into two main secondary schools ( age 9 – 13 years ), pupils from both then usually attended a single American-style high school ( age 13 – 18 years ).

Before version 0. 95, each GNU Classpath release consisted of two separate release tarballs ; one that represented the state of the main development branch and another that contained the contents of a more experimental branch, supporting the additions, such as generics, enumerations and annotations, present in Java 1. 5.

The organization argues that the potential of nuclear power to mitigate global warming is marginal, referring to the IEA energy scenario where an increase in world's nuclear capacity from 2608 TWh in 2007 to 9857 TWh by 2050 would cut global greenhouse gas emissions less than 5 % and require 32 nuclear reactor units of 1000MW capacity built per year until 2050.
