A spoken dialogue system capable of maintaining a humanmachine conversation over a telephone must simultaneously maintain many dialogue sessions with different callers and third-party servers running applications over the Internet. There are three main issues to be addressed. First, the caller’s identity has to be passed between each dialogue turn. Secondly, the dialogue state and connections t...

The present study investigated the effect of unilateral and bilateral resistance exercise (RE) on maximal voluntary strength, total volume of load lifted (TVLL), rating of perceived exertion (RPE) and blood lactate concentration of resistance-trained males. Twelve healthy men were assessed for the leg extension one-repetition maximum (1RM) strength using bilateral and unilateral contractions. F...

The effects of a daytime nap on inter-session habituation to aversive visual stimuli were investigated. Healthy young adult volunteers viewed repeated presentations of highly negative and emotionally neutral (but equally arousing) International Affective Picture System (IAPS) photographs during two afternoon sessions separated by 2.5h. Half of the photographs were shown at both sessions (Repeat...
