Effect of Repetitive Caloric Testing.

Effect of repetitive exercise testing on breathlessness in humans.

There are conflicting reports on the reproducibility of the visual analogue scale (VAS) and the modified Borg scale for the estimation of breathlessness during exercise. In an attempt to clarify the situation, two groups of healthy subjects undertook a progressive exercise test either daily (Group A) or weekly (Group B) on 10 separate occasions. Breathlessness was estimated every 1 min using th...

Testing the Ecological Validity of Repetitive Speech

Can one trust experiments conducted with repetitive speech to represent normal language behaviour? We compare the spectra of repetitive productions of phrases with the same phrases read from a randomised list. We use a data-driven spectral distortion measure that is trained to respond to linguistically relevant differences: it is based on a classifier that separates sounds into linguistically e...

[Effect of caloric restriction on longevity].

Calorie restriction (CR) is the most evaluated nutritional intervention to increase lifespan in a variety of animal species, including human beings. CR has also been shown to delay the onset or reduce the incidence of many age-related diseases. The mechanism that could explain the effect of calorie intake on aging is related to the reduction of body fat and insulin signaling as well as reactive...

effect of oral presentation on development of l2 learners grammar

this experimental study has been conducted to test the effect of oral presentation on the development of l2 learners grammar. but this oral presentation is not merely a deductive instruction of grammatical points, in this presentation two hypotheses of krashen (input and low filter hypotheses), stevicks viewpoints on grammar explanation and correction and widdowsons opinion on limited use of l1...
