Surface Electromyography (sEMG) has been widely used for studying human mastication, due to its ability to non-invasively monitor the activity of muscle groups associated with chewing (Boyar & Kilcast, 1986; Brown, 1994). It is regarded as the “gold standard” for objective measurement of simple parameters relating to chewing behaviour, such as chew rate and strength. Attempts have been made to ...

A fast-growing theoretical literature on the political economy of reform has provided a sizable collection of models that have deepened our understanding concerning how distributional conflict manifests itself in the political process and can prevent efficiency-enhancing economic reform from taking place (see e.g., Allan Drazen [2000 Ch. 10, 13] for an insightful review). Unfortunately, systema...

PURPOSE This study evaluates the extent to which bilingual children produce the same or overlapping responses on tasks assessing semantic skills in each of their languages and whether classification analysis based on monolingual or conceptual scoring can accurately classify the semantic development of typically developing (TD) bilingual children. METHOD In Study 1, 55 TD children (ages 4;0 [y...

Cancer is a leading cause of death worldwide in both developed and developing countries, including Thailand (Siegel et al., 2012; Ferlay et al., 2010; Sriplung et al., 2005). In Thailand, the incidence of all cancers and the mortality rate resulting from malignant diseases gradually increase each year. In particular, incidences of colorectal cancer and breast cancer significantly increased duri...
