Development of a Sentence Repetition Test (SRT) (Radloff 1991) has resulted in wide employment of this efficient technique for estimating the bilingual proficiency profile of an entire community. The accepted standard is the Oral Proficiency Interview as developed by the U.S. Foreign Service Institute. The Second Language Oral Proficiency Evaluation (SLOPE) was adapted from it by SIL (1987) to ...

BACKGROUND The optimal field size of salvage radiotherapy (SRT) for biochemical recurrence, particularly for patients with high-risk prostate cancer, remains undefined. This retrospective analysis was performed to investigate oncological outcomes as well as treatment-related toxicity following salvage intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) to the whole pelvis and to compare the results with ot...

The serial reaction time (SRT) task, which measures how participants’ keypress responses speed up as a repeating stimulus sequence is learned, is popular in implicit and motor learning research, and may help us understand the basic learning mechanisms underlying the acquisition of complex skills (e.g., riding a bike). However, complex action sequences are not simple stimulus-response chains, bu...

This letter addresses the coherent integration problem for detecting high-speed target. A fast method based on short-time Fourier transform (STFT) and sequence reversing (SRT), that is, STFT-SRT, is proposed. In this method, STFT first employed to obtain velocity improve SNR without additional calculation. After that, SRT presented remove range migration (RM). Finally, (FT) conducted achieve in...

This study investigated the effects of solid retention time (SRT) on sludge characteristics and operational performance in enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) reactor. The results showed that the reactor operated at SRT of / = 8.3 d could achieve phosphate removal efficiency > 90 % and SVI < 100 mL g–1. In comparison, increasing SRT to / = 16.6 d led to a decrease of phosphate removal...

Saccadic reaction time (SRT) is more strongly slowed by target-similar than dissimilar distractors (similarity effect). The time course of this similarity effect was investigated by varying target contrast and analyzing SRT distributions. With foveal distractors, the similarity effect increased with increasing SRT, suggesting that top-down enhancement of target features increased over time. Thi...

We thank Dr Senthi and colleagues for their interest in our CHEST article. 1 We agree that the work by Haasbeek et al 2 should have been cited in our article. Although the median follow-up of 16.5 months is rather short, the results are impressive with no local failures and only two of 15  grade 3 lung-associated toxicities. We agree that stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) is a less invasive proc...

We describe a formal speciication and mechanized veriication in PVS of the general theory of SRT division along with a speciic hardware realization of the algorithm. The speciica-tion demonstrates how attributes of the PVS language (in particular, predicate subtypes) allow the general theory to be developed in a readable manner that is similar to textbook presentations, while the PVS table cons...
