Quantitative thermal perception thresholds relative to exposure to vibration.
OBJECTIVES To assess the risk of disturbed thermal perception relative to exposure to vibration, to investigate a possible exposure-response relation and to analyse a possible relation between thermal perception and sensory symptoms. METHODS The study was based on a cross section of 123 male workers exposed to vibration and 62 male workers who were not exposed. Thermal perception of cold, war...
متن کاملcontent analysis of l1 and l2 writing textbooks and the perception analysis of university professors on the influence of english writing expertise on the persian in an efl context
the importance of writing as a complex skill in applied linguistics has drawn the attention of many researchers to evaluate textbooks in order to help learners gain self-sufficiency and autonomy in the field of language use and communication. investigations have shown that developments in textbooks evaluation can promote the quality of pedagogies and consequently the learning. this study attemp...
Vibration perception thresholds in workers with long term exposure to lead.
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the impact of long term occupational exposure to lead on function of the peripheral nervous system as reflected by vibration perception threshold (VPT), measured with a portable vibrameter. METHODS 217 Workers in a lead battery factory were required to have an annual blood lead measurement during each of the 5 years preceding this study. All were invited to take the VPT...
متن کاملThe role of vibration in tactile speed perception.
The relative motion between the surface of an object and our fingers produces patterns of skin deformation such as stretch, indentation, and vibrations. In this study, we hypothesized that motion-induced vibrations are combined with other tactile cues for the discrimination of tactile speed. Specifically, we hypothesized that vibrations provide a critical cue to tactile speed on surfaces lackin...
متن کاملAero-tactile influence on speech perception of voicing continua
Previous work [9, 7] has established that puffs of air applied to the skin and timed with listening tasks bias the perception of voicing by naive listeners. The current study has replicated and extended these findings by testing air puff effects on gradations of a voicing continuum rather than the voiced and voiceless exemplars of the original work. This design has the advantage of distinguishi...
