We examined the double-deficit hypothesis in Finnish. One-hundred-and five Finnish children with high familial risk for dyslexia and 90 children with low family risk were followed from the age of 3.5 years until grade 3. Children’s phonological awareness, rapid naming speed, text reading and spelling were assessed. A deficit in RAN predicted slow reading speed across time and spelling difficult...

Double-MAMMOS is an excellent method to increase memory density for MO recording. This method modifies the usual MAMMOS technique by applying double recording layers. Written domains in each recording layer can be selectively copied and expanded in a reading layer. By this method, memory density can be doubled. However, it is necessary to record twice, recording separately into two layers. Ther...

We examined whether classifications based on reading performance are relevant to identify cognitively homogeneous subgroups of dyslexic children. Each of the 71 dyslexic participants was selected to have a mixed reading profile, i.e. poor irregular word and pseudo-word reading performance (accuracy and speed). Despite their homogeneous reading profile, the participants were found to split into ...

‎an  oriented perfect path double cover (oppdc) of a‎ ‎graph $g$ is a collection of directed paths in the symmetric‎ ‎orientation $g_s$ of‎ ‎$g$ such that‎ ‎each arc‎ ‎of $g_s$ lies in exactly one of the paths and each‎ ‎vertex of $g$ appears just once as a beginning and just once as an‎ ‎end of a path‎. ‎maxov{'a} and ne{v{s}}et{v{r}}il (discrete‎ ‎math‎. ‎276 (2004) 287-294) conjectured that ...

abstract reading is a cognitive activity involving skills, strategies, attentional resources, knowledge resources and their integration. the reader’s role is to decode the written symbols to allow for the recovery of information from long-term memory to construct a plausible interpretation of the writer’s message. various number of reading models have been proposed by researchers among which so...

purpose : design and establishment of persian near reading card for clinical use and practice methods : at first, card dimension, word and character size and specifications were calculated. then, english near reading card, richmond product inc, was considered as a template. context and syntax contribute to reading accuracy and efficacy of the richmond card was considered for designed persian ca...

It is now possible to slow and trap a single molecule of double-stranded DNA (dsDNA), by stretching it using a nanopore, smaller in diameter than the double helix, in a solid-state membrane. By applying an electric force larger than the threshold for stretching, dsDNA can be impelled through the pore. Once a current blockade associated with a translocating molecule is detected, the electric fie...

BACKGROUND The main adverse effects of inhaled long acting beta(2) agonists relate to their systemic activity. The systemic effects seen over eight hours after inhalation of three doses of salmeterol and formoterol were therefore compared in normal subjects. METHODS A double blind, randomised, crossover study was carried out in 16 healthy subjects who inhaled formoterol 24, 48 and 96 microg (...
