We investigate the role that superior colliculus (SC) and cerebellum (CBLM) might play in controlling saccadic eye movements. Even though strong experimental evidence argues for an important role for the CBLM, the most recent models of the saccadic system have relied mostly on the SC for the dynamic control of saccades. In this study, we propose that saccades are controlled by two parallel path...

nowadays we know effective supply chain management a key to business success. therefore, supply chain managers use many practices for scm effectiveness and many tools as their enablers. nevertheless, literature about causal relations between sc enablers and scm practices and performance is scarce. this study reports a cognitive mapping of causal relationships between scm practices, sc enablers ...

Water sorption is important for the overall structure and function of keratinized tissues such as the human epidermal stratum corneum (SC). In this study we report on a gravimetric method for studying sorption properties of human SC, both from heel and female breast skin. Changes in mass were measured as the relative humidity was altered in steps under controlled environmental conditions. The p...

Motivation. Despite the widespread use of video lectures in online and blended learning environments, there is still debate whether presence an instructor helps or hinders learning. According to social agency theory , seeing makes learners believe that s/he personally teaching them, which leads...

This paper introduces a multimodal input system, called “speech pen” that assists digital writing during lectures or presentations with background speech and handwriting recognition. The instructor basically freely speaks to the audience and writes on an electronic whiteboard as usual. The system recognizes those speech and handwriting in the background and provides the instructor with predicti...

BACKGROUND Students are largely providing feedback to one another when instructor facilitates peer feedback rather than teaching in group training. The number of students in a group affect the learning of students in the group training. We aimed to investigate whether a larger group size increases students' test scores on a post-training test with peer feedback facilitated by instructor after v...

Historically, adventure-based research and models have inadequately described the role of the instructor in the process of student learning of transferable outcomes. The purpose of this case study was to investigate the influence of instructors from the National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS) on learning perceived to be transferable. Qualitative data indicated students perceive instructors to...

   A modified morphology was introduced for poly(3-hexylthiophene):phenyl-C71-butyric acid methyl ester (P3HT:PC71BM) bulk heterojunction (BHJ) solar cells by thermal and solvent annealing treatments in the presence of hydrophilic-hydrophobic block copolymers. Power conversion efficiency (PCE) plummet was prohibited during both thermal and solvent treatments for all BHJ devices modified wit...
