Acquiring non-native speech contrasts can be difficult. A seminal study by Logan, Lively and Pisoni (1991) established the effectiveness of phonetic training for improving perception: Japanese learners English were trained to perceive /r/-/l/ using minimal pairs over 15 sessions. pre/post-test design learning generalisation. In a follow-up study, Lively, Logan (1993) presented further evidence ...

Traditionally, epidemiologists have been concerned with counting the dead. Now, particularly when they are studying the natural history of psychiatric disorders, epidemiologists are putting more of their time and effort into the estimation of rates of incidence and prevalence of diseases and linking changes in these rates with environmental and genetic influences. What is the best way of obtain...

The environmental impact of chemically reactive air pollutants on both local air quality (smog) and the regional ecosystem (acid rain) is well established. The chemical and meteorological models used to study these problems are well known to most at this conference. On a larger scale are the potential impacts of air pollution on the global environment, both direct (air quality, sulfur and nitro...

Introduction:Low-pass filters eliminate noise, and accordingly improve the quality of filtered back-projection (FBP) in the reconstruction of single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) images. This study aimed at selection of an optimum low-pass filter for FBP reconstruction of SPECT images of small structures. Material and Methods:Sp...

Model,” published in the American Psychologist (1967). In this article, Logan called for the establishment of an interest group for SPP within Division 7 or 12, the publishing of a newsletter for “intragroup communication” (p. 324), and emphasis on training in pediatric psychology at the internship level, so that psychologists could become pediatric psychologists by virtue of both formal traini...

Most urban water-use monitoring, modeling, and conservation research has focused on a large but relatively homogenous group of residential water users. Commercial, industrial, institutional (CII) facilities use volumes water, their diversity in amounts, timing, locations, other factors makes them difficult to monitor study. We monitored at four manufacturing two assisted-care Logan, Utah, 5-min...
