BACKGROUND Auditory processing and auditory sensibility to high Frequency sounds. AIM To characterize the localization processes, temporal ordering, hearing patterns and detection of high frequency sounds, looking for possible relations between these factors. METHOD 32 hearing fourth grade students, born in city of São Paulo, were submitted to: a simplified evaluation of the auditory proces...

The increasing popularity of location based social services such as Facebook Places, Foursquare and Google Latitude, solicits a new trend in fusing social networking with real world sensing.

Reaction time for warmth and cold sensation with 2°e, 5°e and s-e respectively above and below skin temperature had been found out in S students on left hand hypothener eminence and dorsum of middle phalanx of the middle finger with average threshold temperature of 2°e above and below skin temperature. The reaction time was found to be 0.66 sec. On increasing the difference of test temperature ...
