A variety of software-based systems are being used as training media. There is not, however, an accepted approach to evaluating the usability of these systems. Traditional usability approaches can be employed with some effectiveness, but they may lack appropriate specificity for use in training. In this paper, we evaluate whether assessing, and remediating, gaps in learner knowledge might be an...

We investigated whether officers with additional martial arts training experience performed better in arrest and self-defence scenarios under low and high anxiety and were better able to maintain performance under high anxiety than officers who just rely on regular police training. We were especially interested to find out whether training once a week would already lead to better performance un...

Does the stimulation used during the training on an SSVEP-based BCI have to be similar from the one of the end use ? We recorded 6-channels EEG data from 12 subjects in various conditions of distance between targets, and of difference in color between targets. Our analysis revealed that the stimulation configuration used for training which leads to the best classification accuracy is not always...

turfgrasses are usually important groundcover plants in many landscapes. they occupy the lowest surface of the landscape, close to pollutant particles. so, they can be an attractive option for environmental remediation. today, high concentrations of hazardous chemicals such as lead are among the most serious environmental problems. in vitro selection of turfgrass accumulator or tolerant of toxi...

Talent cultivation is the priority of China’s talent strategy, which necessitates the education of interdisciplinary innovative talents that meet social needs. This paper presents the possible participation of Anhui University undergraduates in various research training programs and discusses recent exploration of the implementation of Student Research Training Program. It deals with a program ...

Sprint interval training (SIT) can elicit improvements in aerobic and anaerobic capacity. While variations in SIT protocols have been investigated, the influence of social processes cannot be overlooked. As research supports the use of groups to influence individual cognitions and behaviours, the current project assessed the effectiveness of a group-based intervention with participants conducti...

background: patients with breast cancer are predisposed to some psychiatric symptoms and mental disorders due to their life styles or disease conditions. these problems cause patients to deal with daily stress, feeling guilty, anxiety, dysphoric mood and impaired social relations. such problems will lead to serious mental disorders. therefore, life skills training may help the patients to cope ...

Adult learners of Chinese learned new characters through writing, visual chunking or reading-only. Following training, ERPs were recorded during character recognition tasks, first shortly after the training and then three months later. We hypothesized that the character training effects would be seen in ERP components associated with word recognition and episodic memory. Results confirmed a lar...

A report describing the credentialing and training of stentors in the Carotid Revascularization Endarterectomy vs Stenting Trial (CREST) was recently presented at the 2009 International Stroke Conference of the American Heart Association (San Diego, Calif, Feb 18-20, 2009). CREST is an ongoing randomized clinical trial comparing carotid endarterectomy and carotid artery stenting (CAS) in stroke...

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the three endurance training intensities on the expression of Perlipin A protein in subcutaneous adipose tissue and pancreatic B-cells function in male diabetic rats. Materials and Methods: In this study, 40 healthy male wistar rats were divided into five groups, including diabetic with low intensity endurance training, diabetic with moderate int...
