Photosynthetic Electron Transport, Plastidic Cytochromes, Dual-Wavelength Spectroscopy, Cross-Over Experiments; Oxidation-Reduction Potentiometry Dual-wavelength spectroscopy allows the precise and fast measurement of small absorbance changes in highly absorbing and scattering samples (fS 10“ 3 absorbance). The sensitivity of this method makes it possible to monitor directly redox changes of el...

This paper reports the findings of an experiment conducted to determine whether graphical or textual representations of a simulated load monitor are more effective at communicating information in a dual-task environment. Results include guidelines for design tradeoffs based on significant differences in display facilitation of information awareness, communication, and introduction of distractio...

Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) biosensors have enabled a wide range of applications in which researchers can monitor biomolecular interactions in real time. Owing to the fact that SPR can provide affinity and kinetic data, unique features in applications ranging from protein-peptide interaction analysis to cellular ligation experiments have been demonstrated. Although SPR has historically been...

Bilinguals’ need to monitor and inhibit non-relevant languages over a relevant one confers advantage in cognitive control. No studies have demonstrated that the dual-language control process directly contributes to the bilingual cognitive advantage. We utilized a novel language control manipulation paradigm where 83 English-Chinese bilingual adults completed a reading and comprehension task in ...

In modern quality engineering, dual response surface methodology is a powerful tool to monitor an industrial process by using both the mean and the standard deviation of the measurements as the responses. The least squares method in regression is often used to estimate the coefficients in the mean and standard deviation models, and various decision criteria are proposed by researchers to find t...

In the present study, steady-state visual evoked potentials (S-VEP) in response to amplitude-modulated light from a computer monitor (colour sVGA, 15-inch tube) have been examined. S-VEPs to computer monitors with different refresh rates (60 Hz or 72 Hz) and screen brightness (65 cd/m2 or 6 cd/m2) were recorded in 13 subjects with normal or corrected-to-normal vision. EEG samples were amplified...

AIM To compare the use of periapical radiographs and digital panoramic images displayed on monitor and glossy paper in the assessment of the periapical status of the teeth using the periapical index (PAI). METHODOLOGY A total of 86 subjects were examined. All participants underwent a full-mouth radiographic survey (14 periapical radiographs) and a panoramic radiography. The periapical status,...
