Harbison Covered Bridge

The Harbison Covered Bridge was west of Portland Mills, Indiana. The single-span Burr Arch covered bridge structure was built by J.A. Britton in 1916 and destroyed by a fire in 1943.

History

The bridge was named after the Harbison family that owned land around the Portland Mills area. It replaced the earlier 1847 Hargrave Covered Bridge that had been lost in the Great Flood of 1913.

This bridge would be lost though on December 22, 1943, when a truck wrecked and ruptured an oil pipeline. The oil that leaked from the pipeline saturated the bridge and ignited. The bridge burned down very quickly and was unable to be saved.

The Harbison Bridge site is now flooded by the creation of the Cecil B. Harden Lake during most of the year.

The Avenue

This article is about the rugby stadium. For the skyscraper, see L'Avenue. For other uses, see Avenue (disambiguation).
Not to be confused with The Avenues.

The Avenue was a rugby union stadium and training pitches in Sunbury-on-Thames that belonged to the English club London Irish since 1931 when the team bought its 11 acres (4.5 ha). The team moved one season to the Stoop Memorial Ground thereafter to Madjeski Stadium, from 2000. For 14 more years the club kept The Avenue as its training and pre-season friendlies ground as well as Aviva A League matches. In 2014 the club began to train at its replacement, larger Hazlewood facility in the same town, including its Academy and hosting international training when Twickenham stadium hosts such tournaments and the grounds were converted to landscaped suburban housing, a sports/leisure club and care home.

History

The land was purchased in 1931 for £1,280 (equivalent to £92,526 in 2021) to be the home stadium for London Irish, before they left in 1999 to play at the Stoop Memorial Ground.London Irish Amateur side.Saracens.

The ground lay at 51°24′52″ north, 0°24′45″ west.

Redevelopment

London Irish published in 2009 its plans to demolish its training facility to replace it with 400 homes while relocating the club offices and training to redevelop nearby Hazelwood Golf Centre.

At the planning authority's planning committee meeting, councillors of all parties opposed redevelopment, citing various grounds, including limited public transport, increasing existing peak-hour congestion, too few bedrooms per dwelling and initially a highly urban density as well as some character shortcomings.Rugby Football Union, Premier Rugby, Sport England and the Rugby Player's Association.

In 2010 the club applied to demolish the grandstand and replace it with houses; an application rejected by Spelthorne Council.

The same month the club took advice and announced its wish to appeal.


HIVEP2

Transcription factor HIVEP2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HIVEP2 gene.

Function

Members of the ZAS family, such as ZAS2 (HIVEP2), are large proteins that contain a ZAS domain, a modular protein structure consisting of a pair of C2H2 zinc fingers with an acidic-rich region and a serine/threonine-rich sequence. These proteins bind specific DNA sequences, including the kappa-B motif (GGGACTTTCC), in the promoters and enhancer regions of several genes and viruses, including human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). ZAS genes span more than 150 kb and contain at least 10 exons, one of which is longer than 5.5 kb (Allen and Wu, 2004).[supplied by OMIM]

Nephalion

In Greek mythology, Nephalion (Ancient Greek: Νηφαλίωνα) was one of the four sons of Minos, who lived on the Greek island of Paros. Nephalion and his brothers Eurymedon, Khryses, and Philolaus rebelled against Herakles and murdered two sailors from one of his vessels that had washed up ashore on the rocks of Paros.

John Worley

John C. Worley (1919-1999) was a saxophonist, conductor, professor, and a composer of classical, as well as more contemporary music for saxophone. He was born in Waltham, Massachusetts in 1919 and died on February 16, 1999. He served as conductor and director for many performing ensembles during his long teaching career, as well as a featured performer of saxophone and clarinet.

Conducting & performing career highlights

His early performances included a position as first clarinetist in the Columbus Symphony Orchestra, as well as first clarinetist in the Connecticut Symphony.

While teaching at State University College at Oneonta, NY (aka "Oneonta State", now SUNY Oneonta) Worley took charge of the community-based Oneonta Symphony (now the Catskill Symphony Orchestra) in 1947. The ensemble had been dormant since World War II decimated its ranks, and by 1953 Worley had succeeded in rejuvenating it to the point where a full concert was possible.

He performed with the Saxophone Sinfonia at Lincoln Center in New York City; the Cape Cod Orchestra in Massachusetts; and was an active participant at several Saxophone Workshops held by friends Sigurd Raschèr and Lee Patrick.

Worley organized the Williamsburg Saxophone Quartet and was the group's soprano saxophonist.

Education

He graduated from Oberlin Conservatory where he studied clarinet with George Wain, and received his Masters from the Columbia Teachers College. He studied composition with Sir Lennox Berkeley at the Royal Academy of Music in London, England and conducting with Pierre Monteux in Maine.

Teaching positions

Worley taught at the University of Bridgeport, the State University of New York at Oneonta and the University of Maine in Orono in Orono before moving to Williamsburg, Virginia in 1996.

Compositions

After he retired from teaching, Worley focused on composing and arranging. His original compositions include:

  * Claremont Concerto for alto saxophone and orchestra (1962)
  * Penobscot Suite
  * Owl's Head Sonatina
  * Concerto for Saxophone
  * Quintet for Saxophones
  * Sonatina for Baritone Saxophone
  * Sonata for Tenor Saxophone and Piano
  * Sea Pines Concerto for trumpet and orchestra

Transcriptions include:

Painted frieze of the Bodleian Library

The painted frieze at the Bodleian Library, in Oxford, United Kingdom, is a series of 202 portrait heads in what is now the Upper Reading Room. It was made in 1619, and the choice of worthies to include was advanced for its time, featuring Copernicus and Paracelsus as well as Protestant reformers.

Head of Tycho Brahe from the Bodleian frieze.

The frieze was painted directly onto stonework (rather than by fresco technique), and its condition deteriorated despite restoration in the 18th century. It was plastered over in 1830, and rediscovered in 1949.

Background

What is now the Upper Reading Room, on the top storey of the Library, was referred to by contemporaries as the "gallery". It has been suggested therefore that the initial conception was similar to a long gallery.Nowell Myres pointed out in one of his articles on the frieze that such instructive decoration by portraits in a library or museum was well known from the Giovio Series.Peterhouse, Cambridge.Ancestors of Christ in a Tree of Jesse or other arrangement, or the Kings of France sculpted on the facade of Notre Dame. The Nine Worthies usually appeared in secular contexts. The Nine Worthies of London, proposed in 1592, cannot be said to have caught on. Later British examples include the Frieze of Parnassus (1864–72) at the base of the Albert Memorial in London, and the painted processional frieze of famous Scots in the entrance hall of the Scottish National Portrait Gallery (1898).

Portrait collections in books (the book of icones) became one of the recognised genres of collecting and collation for Renaissance humanists, along with the emblem book and album amicorum.de viris illustribus found in this way its visual expression, typically known by the Italian term uomini illustri. The Bodleian heads, as in other places, served to join knowledge of the Christian and classical traditions.

The frieze was painted in 1619. Its content came from Thomas Bodley (who had died in 1613) and the direction of his book collecting; but also represented the views of Thomas James, the first librarian. Theologically it portrays the Church of England as a continuation of the Catholic dissidents John Wyclif, Jan Hus, Savonarola, and Erasmus. The Protestant Reformation is strongly represented, and John Rainolds, the learned Oxford conforming Puritan, is included.

The portrait heads are located high on the walls of the U-shaped floor, running above the windows, with paintings several feet apart spaced out by images mainly of books. There is a division by the topics on which the authors wrote, corresponding to the university disciplines of the time. The theological display is on the southern flank; the northern side's authors refer to the Faculty of Arts.

List of the heads

Thomas Hearne took detailed notes of the frieze in 1725. His list and copies of inscriptions were basic to the modern restoration; one head remains unidentified. Hearne listed 200 heads (the single woman being Sappho) where in fact there are 202.

Sources for the heads

The collection was eclectic in terms of its models, but four major sources in books for the iconography of the heads have been identified. Other books were involved, according to current scholarship, and accessible English portraits in some cases.

The Pourtraits et vies des hommes illustres (Paris 1584) of André Thévet was used for many of the Church Fathers and medieval theologians, and some of the classical authors. The Icones virorum illustrium series of volumes of 50 (Frankfurt, from 1598) of Jean-Jacques Boissard and Theodore de Bry supplied many models for the heads of humanists. The strongly Protestant collection of Jacobus Verheiden (The Hague 1602) was a source for many of the reformers, where the engraver was Hendrik Hondius I. Other classical authors and humanists were taken from the Opus chronographicum of Pieter van Opmeer (Antwerp 1611):

The restorers of the 1950s used some other sources from the period, including Theodore Beza's Icones (Geneva 1580), and Enrico Bacco's Effigie di tutti i re che han dominato il reame di Naoli (Naples 1602) for the head of Alphonso of Aragon.Raphael Custos, Patrologia, id est Descriptio S.

Schwanheide station

Schwanheide station was a border station during the division of Germany on the Berlin–Hamburg Railway in the German Democratic Republic. It is in the Mecklenburg town of Schwanheide, which is now in the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. With the upgrade of the Berlin–Hamburg railway under the German Unity Transport Projects, the former railway station was reduced in status to a “halt”.

History

Schwanheide station was opened on 1 December 1886.

After the Second World War, the Berlin–Hamburg railway between Schwanheide and Büchen was divided by the Inner German border. On the eastern side, one of the two main tracks between Berlin and Schwanheide was dismantled for reparations. Even on the West German side, the second track was also dismantled between the former border station of Büchen and Schwarzenbek.

Traffic was initially completely interrupted at the demarcation line, especially since the bridges over the Elbe–Lübeck Canal in Büchen had been destroyed. In the summer of 1946, the bridge was restored, but freight operations were not resumed until 27 August 1947. First, it was agreed that a pair of passenger trains could also run, but they were not introduced.Berlin Blockade in 1948, traffic decreased significantly, but did not come to a complete standstill. On 10 September 1949, passenger traffic was resumed with two pairs of trains, one operated by railcars of the Cologne class (Bauart Köln), which were derived from the Flying Hamburger.

The cross-border rail service on the more northerly route between Herrnburg and Lübeck was closed in 1952; it was restored in 1960. In 1953, ten regular and three as-required freight trains ran on the Berlin–Hamburg line towards the west and five regular and three as-required freight trains ran towards the east. In 1953, a hut was established for transit clearance on platform 1 and a second platform track and an island platform were built. This was later followed by the building of platform tracks 3 and 4.


Schwanheide station

Freight trains in transit to and from West Berlin stopped in Schwanheide from 1965. However, the track capacity in Schwanheide was not sufficient to carry out border control procedures for passengers and freight. Therefore, freight trains were handled in Kuhlenfeld station, which was 18 km from the border. Before departure of a freight train from the so-called "wagon border crossing" (Wagengrenzstelle) at Kuhlenfeld, it had to be ensured that Boizenburg and Schwanheide stations could take the train. If the train had to make an intermediate stop, the border controls would have to be repeated in Schwanheide, which led to delays for other trains.

Intercity-Express passing through Schwanheide station (2008)

A new terminal building was built in the early 1980s. As a result of Die Wende (the change), express trains no longer stopped in Schwanheide after 30 September 1990.Verkehrsprojekte Deutsche Einheit), the section between Hagenow Land and Büchen via Schwanheide was electrified in 1996. The tracks through the station were reduced to two through tracks and so the station was reduced in status to a Haltepunkt (meaning "halt", which in Germany describes a station without points). With a further upgrade of the line to a top speed of 230 km/h in 2004/2005, the level crossing near the station was replaced by an underpass.

Railway and border control facilities

Passengers who travelled on domestic trains to Schwanheide required a permit or a passport for the journey into the Federal Republic. Railway employees had to swap their laissez-passers during working stays at the station in exchange for special passes so that the passport control unit had an overview of the people present. Trains to Schwanheide were checked by transport police at Hagenow Land station before they arrived at Schwanheide. To strengthen this policy, travellers in the area from outside the town were stopped at the limits of Boizenburg and asked about their reasons for a trip there.

The station itself was equipped with five platform tracks in the 1980s. Track 1 was located next to the building housing the border clearance facilities and Mitropa, tracks 2 and 3 were on an island platform and track 4 and a shortened fifth track were next to the entrance building, which was also the location of the mechanical signalbox “B 2”. A second mechanical signalbox “W 1” was located at the eastern end of the station. On both sides of the station, the tracks were spanned by bridges carrying posts from which border troops observed the entering and exiting trains. The supervision for the border clearance was located on the island platform.

The station area was fenced up on the track entrances and was lit at night as bright as day. A branch from track 3 was provided for trains terminating in Schwanheide.

Running through without stopping or following a second train that was already moving towards the border was made impossible by technical protection devices. In addition to passport and baggage checks, dogs were used to prevent refugees using the trains. Train messages from railway staff to Büchen were recorded and could be controlled and evaluated by the security services. If graffiti, such as swastikas or slogans hostile to East Germany, were inscribed on oncoming freight trains from Büchen, they could be removed or painted over in Schwanheide.

Rail services

Boarded windows and doors at the entrance building (2010)

Regional-Express services on the Hamburg–Rostock route stop in Schwanheide. The line is built for speeds of up to 230 km/h. Express trains pass through the station at high speeds, requiring the platforms to be secured by safety gates with warning signs. The border crossing building stands empty and exposed to vandalism. The station building, which was also empty, was demolished in 2012.

Révfülöp is a town in Veszprém county, Hungary, located on the northern shore of the Balaton. Révfülöp is well known as the starting point for an annual long-distance swimming race across the Balaton to Balatonboglár.

Etymology

Fülöp comes from the Hungarian version of the personal name Phillip; this was the original name of the town. Later, the word rév, which means ferry crossing, was added as a prefix.

History

Révfülöp has existed since Medieval times, when it developed as a rév, or ferry crossing point, due to the proximity to the southern shore. The settlement is first mentioned in 1211. Around 1538, it was destroyed during the Turkish invasion. Subsequently, it became a viticultural colony of the nearby town Kővágóörs, and then a vassal land of the Tihany Abbey. However, by the early 18th century, private owners began buying property in the area once more. In 1752, the harbor reopened, and during the 19th century, the town expanded due to the construction projects of many wealthy vacationers, under whose alliance in the Révfülöp Beach and Shore Development Committee the town gained independence in 1943. Since this time, Révfülöp has been characterized by dynamic growth.

Further increases in boat and train traffic — Révfülöp sports a large railway station — have made the town a local commercial and professional center, with numerous specialty stores, restaurants, and hotels opening over the course of the 20th century as the number of vacationers increased. It was also during this time that the town was connected to the national telephone and electrical infrastructure. Today, viticulture and the tourist-service sector are the two primary sources of employment. In 2001, the Millennium Lookout Tower was constructed on the mountain north of the town. The main historical attraction remains the old downtown and port, both featuring eclectic architecture evocative of the turn of the 20th century.

The village lies on the south bank of the Ribeira de Seixe, which here forms the border between the Algarve and Alentejo. The population of the parish in 2011 was 961, km2.

Geography

Odeceixe's countryside

The parish of Odeceixe is situated on the steeply inclined topography that divides the Algarve and Alentejo regions; the south bank of the Ribeira de Seixe which runs through this parish is the dividing line for this frontier.

The parish includes Praia do Odeceixe, 4 km west of the village of Odeceixe, at the mouth of the Ribeira de Seixe. This has one of the few official naturist beaches in Portugal.

Standard critical edition


The Mountain Bard

Standard critical edition

The standard modern critical edition, by Suzanne Gilbert (2007), occupies Volume 20 in the Stirling/South Carolina Research Edition of The Collected Works of James Hogg, published by Edinburgh University Press.

Reception

The 1807 edition received nine reviews.Robert Burns. Typical is The Poetical Register: 'Mr. Hogg is the poet of the Shepherds; and is really an honour to them. Shepherds, be it remembered, were always a poetical tribe. The Ballads of Mr. Hogg are in the true style of that sort of writing. They are simple and natural, and contain many spirited and picturesque ideas and descriptions, and, occasionally, strokes of genuine humour. The songs also are good.'

  * Tomas Rivera (2nd Corporal)

Its coordinates are 18.011503°N 66.613846°W (18°00′41″N 66°36′50″W).

Background


Background

On 25 January 1899, a large fire (later dubbed "El Polvorin") threatened the lives of the residents of the city of Ponce and, given Ponce's de facto role as Puerto Rico's banking and agricultural capital, it threaten the economy of Puerto Rico as a whole. The fire started at the horse barn of the recently deployed U.S. Army artillery encampment one block from the center of town, on Calle Salud between Calle Cristina and Calle Comercio, and quickly spread towards the army's artillery munitions storage area. By the time the local commander realized there was a fire near the munitions compound, he judged it too risky for his men to try to put it out and ordered all personnel to move away from the area to let the fire extinguish itself, even if it meant explosions at the munitions depot. The commander also instructed the local firemen (then numbering about 40) not to enter the area or attempt to extinguish the fire. However, seven of the firemen and one civilian disobeyed the orders of the commander and decided to fight the fire. They were able to suppress the fire before it could get to the gunpowder reserves, without any loss of life or additional loss of property. Due to their efforts, disaster upon the then mostly wooden homes and businesses in town was averted. For their success, the group was honored many times both in Ponce and the rest of Puerto Rico. The obelisk was built to honor their memory.

The structure

The obelisk was built in 1948.25 January 1899 fire, but which was destroyed by the 1918 San Fermín earthquake.Jaime L. Drew, Antonio Arias, and Antonio Mirabal.the obelisk/tomb built in 1911, and dedicated to the same men, and which stands at the Cementerio Civil de Ponce (Ponce Civil Cemetery).

The four-sided obelisk has four plaques, one on each side.

Réunion pink pigeon

The Réunion pink pigeon (Nesoenas mayeri duboisi, but see below) is an extinct subspecies of pigeon that formerly lived on the Mascarene island of Réunion. It is known from the description of a rusty-red pigeon given by Dubois in 1674 and a single subfossil humerus that agrees with that of the pink pigeon of Mauritius in generic characteristics, except being slightly longer. Also, Dubois' reference to the bill being red at the base and the eyes being surrounded by a red ring suggest that this species was closely allied to the Mauritius taxon. Dubois' description was as follows:

wild pigeons, everywhere full with them, some with slaty-coloured feathering [Alectroenas?], the others russet-red [N. duboisi]. They are a little larger than the European pigeons, and have larger bills, red at the end close to the head, the eyes ringed with the colour of fire, like pheasants. There is a season when they are so fat that one can no longer see their cloaca [croupion]. They are very good tasting. Wood-pigeons and turtle-doves, as one sees in Europe and as good.

It is considered a subspecies of the pink pigeon.

Its genus Nesoenas was often synonymized with Columba in the past, but more recently it has been synonymized with Streptopelia. As the pink pigeon and the Malagasy turtle dove cannot be firmly placed in either of these two genera but apparently represent a distinct lineage that diverged early, probably from the ancestor of Streptopelia, it seems (at least for the time being) to be best to separate them again in Nesoenas. This restores the genus of the Réunion pink pigeon to the one it was originally described under.


Réunion pink pigeon

There seem to have been one to three other species of columbid on Réunion (not counting the invalidated "Réunion solitaire"). Willem Ysbrandtszoon Bontekoe mentioned ramiers (doves) with blue wings in 1619 as being abundant; apparently a species of Alectroenas. Dubois, on the other hand, referred to no less than four kinds of pigeons: ramiers, tourterelles (turtle doves) and two kinds of pigeon, one rusty red - the present species -, the other slate grey. Either the ramiers or the tourterelles of Dubois could refer to a local population of the Madagascar turtle dove, possibly an extinct subspecies, which is known from one subfossil humerus and one ulna. The slate-grey bird or the ramiers, respectively, seem to be the birds described by Bontekoe. What the remaining form - the tourterelles or the slate-grey pigeons, respectively - might have been is completely unresolvable at this time, although the possibility of it being a relative of the Rodrigues pigeon cannot be entirely discounted.

Extinction

Since the Réunion pink pigeon was only mentioned explicitly by Dubois, little can be said about its extinction. The last reports of native pigeons were by Père Bernardin in 1687 and by Guillaume Houssaye in 1689, although the Alectroenas may have existed for a somewhat longer time. Jean Feuilley in 1705 mentioned that all native pigeons were extinct; it seems likely that introduced rats and cats, combined with excessive hunting, were the causes of the birds' extinction.

History of rail transport in Philadelphia

Philadelphia, Germantown & Norristown Railroad stock certificate 1852

Early Philadelphia Railroads until 1948

1920 map of the Philadelphia and Columbia Railroad

Germantown Depot

Philadelphia was an early railroad hub, with lines from all over meeting in Philadelphia. The first railroad in Philadelphia was the Philadelphia, Germantown and Norristown Railroad, opened in 1832 north to Germantown. At the end of 1833, the state-built Philadelphia and Columbia Railroad, part of the Main Line of Public Works, opened for travel to the west, built to avoid loss of travel through Pennsylvania due to projects such as the Erie Canal. At the same time, the north-south leg of the Philadelphia City Railroad opened, running south along Broad Street from the Philadelphia and Columbia.

The Northern Liberties and Penn Township Railroad opened in 1834, connecting the Philadelphia and Columbia to the Delaware River north of downtown, and later that year the Southwark Rail-Road opened, connecting the south end of the City Railroad to the river. The Philadelphia and Trenton Railroad also opened in late 1834, running north to Trenton, New Jersey, as did the Camden and Amboy Railroad, running from Camden, New Jersey, across the Delaware River, to South Amboy with connections across Raritan Bay to New York City. The Philadelphia and Trenton would try but never succeed in getting closer to downtown than Kensington, making the C&A the main line to Philadelphia for many years.

In 1837, an eastern extension of the Philadelphia City Railroad opened along Market Street to the Delaware River at Dock Street. The Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad opened in 1838 to Grays Ferry and later that year into downtown via a connection with the Southwark and City Railroads. The Philadelphia and Reading Railroad opened in 1839, using the Philadelphia and Columbia and City Railroads to reach downtown. In 1847 a branch of the Philadelphia and Trenton Railroad to Tacony opened, allowing a transfer to steamboats at Tacony for a connection to downtown.

A relocation of the Philadelphia and Columbia Railroad to bypass the Belmont Plane opened in late 1850, and soon after that a western extension of the City Railroad opened to meet it. In 1851, the old route closed, and the eastern section, used only by the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad, was sold to them.


In 1853, the West Chester and Philadelphia Railroad opened, heading southwest and west to West Chester. The first section of the North Pennsylvania Railroad, eventually running north to Bethlehem, opened in 1855. A new alignment of the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Railroad opened in 1872, and the old one was leased in 1873 to the Philadelphia and Reading Railway. In 1886, the Baltimore and Philadelphia Railroad opened, giving the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad its own route into Philadelphia.

In 1863 and 1866 the Junction Railroad opened, connecting the lines west of downtown. The Connecting Railway opened in 1867, connecting the lines north of downtown, and finally giving the Philadelphia and Trenton Railroad a route into downtown. Eventually all the lines into Philadelphia, except for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad's Baltimore and Philadelphia Railroad, were owned by the Pennsylvania Railroad or Philadelphia and Reading Railway.

The Schuylkill River starts in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania near Pottsville, Pennsylvania and was used in the early days to ship anthracite coal by mule on the Schuylkill Canal to Philadelphia for burning fuel. Later anthracite coal from the hard Coal Region was shipped on the Reading railroad/ Reading Company. The Reading Railroad competed with the Pennsylvania railroad and built tracks along the Schuylkill River for the coal. Today,Reading, Pennsylvania, became a rich middleman town during the Industrial revolution from the Coal Region Pottsville, Pennsylvania, 150 miles (240 km) northwest of Philadelphia.

P200

For the American airplane, see Bellanca P-200. For the German flying boat project, see Blohm & Voss P 200.

In neuroscience, the visual P200 or P2 is a waveform component or feature of the event-related potential (ERP) measured at the human scalp. Like other potential changes measurable from the scalp, this effect is believed to reflect the post-synaptic activity of a specific neural process. The P2 component, also known as the P200, is so named because it is a positive going electrical potential that peaks at about 200 milliseconds (varying between about 150 and 275 ms) after the onset of some external stimulus. This component is often distributed around the centro-frontal and the parieto-occipital areas of the scalp. It is generally found to be maximal around the vertex (frontal region) of the scalp, however there have been some topographical differences noted in ERP studies of the P2 in different experimental conditions.

Research on the visual P2 is at an early stage compared to other more established ERP components and there is much that we still do not know about it. Part of the difficulty of clearly characterizing this component is that it appears to be modulated by a large and diverse number of cognitive tasks. Functionally, there seems to be partial agreement amongst researchers in the field of cognitive neuroscience that the P2 represents some aspect of higher-order perceptual processing, modulated by attention. It is known that the P2 is typically elicited as part of the normal response to visual stimuli and has been studied in relation to visual search and attention, language context information, and memory and repetition effects. The amplitude of the peak of the waveform may be modulated by many different aspects of visual stimuli, which allow it to be used for studies of visual cognition and disease. In general, the P2 may be a part of cognitive matching system that compares sensory inputs with stored memory.

The first mentions of an ERP component similar to that of the modern P2 were characterized in studies of basic visual and auditory evoked potentials. One of the first of such studies involved the presentation of flashing lights. Using this method, researchers found that a series of potential changes were consistently observed across repeated trials. These would later be classified as components of the visual evoked response (VER), part of which includes the P2.

The P2 follows the visual N1 (or auditory N100) and P1 waveforms (negativity and positivity at 150 and 100ms respectively) and is followed by the N200, P3, and N400 waveforms. Other components may overlap with the P2 to some extent, making it difficult to distinguish clearly between them, depending on the location of measurement. Originally, the P2 was characterized as a sub-component of a complex involving the N1, P1 and P2, which was known as the vertex potential and which was classically studied as a unitary phenomenon. In particular, the relationship between the N1 and P2 was thought to be important. The difference between the N1 and P2, known as the vertex amplitude, was found to be significantly larger for target than non-target stimuli and for rapid attention switching task.

In terms of modality, the visual P2 is similar to the auditory P2 and both have been studied in similar contexts. There are most likely multiple distinct P2s in different modalities, including both frontal and posterior visual P2s, which may or may not have similar origins or functional similarities. It is not yet understood whether the visual, auditory or other P2s reflect the same functional and neural activities.

Component characteristics

Like other evoked-response potentials, the presence of the P2 is revealed in the waveform of the EEG recorded by time-locking data from trials to the onset of the stimulus, in appropriate paradigms. As data from the recordings of multiple trials are averaged together, the persistent characteristics of the P2 become apparent. The fact that this waveform appears stable across similar trials is what suggests that it is a meaningful response to a given stimulus.


P200

Using electrodes attached to the earlobes of participants as a reference the visual P2 can be found over anterior and central sites on the scalp, and is usually maximal over the frontal region. The more posterior P2 has been studied in relation to visual complexity in language processing, visual search tasks and memory and repetitions paradigms. The component is evoked as part of the normal response to visual stimuli, but the amplitude and latency (delay between stimulus and response) may be affected by exogenous factors, such as repeated visual stimuli. This component has been linked with higher-order perceptual and attentional processes, including feature analysis of geometric figures and visually presented words. The exact function and neural source of the P2 is not yet known, but some evidence indicates that the P2 may reflect general neural processes that occur when a visual (or other sensory) input is compared with an internal representation or expectation in memory or language context.

Main paradigms

The P2 has traditionally been studied in the context of perception, with specific emphasis on how stimulus evaluation takes place. As such, multiple paradigms have been used in experiments seeking to understand how manipulations of sensory stimuli modulate the characteristics of the P2.

The visual P2 has been studied in the context of visual priming paradigms, oddball paradigms (where the amplitude is enhanced to targets), and studies of repetition in language. One of the more well-studied paradigms with regards to the visual P2 has classically been the visual search paradigm, which tests perception, attention, memory, and response selection. In this paradigm, participants are instructed to focus their attention at a central point on a screen. It is then that participants are given a cue indicating the identity of a target stimulus. Following a delay, participants are then presented with a set of items. Instructed to identify the location of the target stimulus, participants respond by button-pressing or some other method. Trials are classified as either "efficient" or "inefficient" based upon the relationship between the target stimuli and non-target stimuli, known as "distracters". In the case of efficient search arrays, the target object or stimuli does not share any features in common with the distracters in the array. Likewise, in an inefficient array, the targets share one or more features with the "distracters".


P200

The visual P2 has also been studied in the context of the visual priming paradigm, which seeks to understand how prior information shapes future response. In this experimental design, participants are briefly presented with an image or word, followed by a delay, and a subsequent stimulus upon which participants must make a classification.

With regard to the auditory P2, the primary paradigm used to study manipulations of this type of sensory information is the auditory oddball task. In this procedure, participants are presented with a stream of auditory stimuli: including frequent, standard stimuli as well as infrequent, target stimuli. Participants of such studies are asked to ignore the frequent standards and respond to the infrequent targets.

In general, increases in the attentiveness of the subject lead to decreased amplitude of the P2. Increased attention decreases the amount of search space, or number of associations that need to be made, and may facilitate feature classification in visual search at the stage of perceptual processing. More probable targets also lead to decreased amplitude of the P2, which is sensitive to the number of non-target (distracter) features in a visual search. The amplitude of the P2 is greater when the visual search is more efficient (selective attention), but this does not affect the latency.

Functional sensitivity

General features of stimuli

Research using the visual search paradigm has shown that features such as color, size, and orientation of the stimulus have a necessary role in eliciting the P2 effect seen during trials of efficient search. Other characteristics, such as attention, repetition and probability of the stimulus also impact the amplitude of the P2. The diversity of these factors tends to suggest that the P2, as a response, is multidimensional with respect to its sensitivity to stimulus features.

Memory

Researchers have found evidence that the P2 is involved in memory processes. Differences in P200 peak amplitude suggest that anterior and posterior distributional differences are elicited during encoding of words for rote and elaborative memory tasks. While encoding the words across both memory tasks, participants who subsequently recalled less generated larger frontal amplitudes and smaller parietal/occipital amplitudes than those who recalled more.
