Dust mites are a medically important group of animals commonly found in carpets and mattresses in houses. Antigens in their feces cause allergic reactions such as asthma and contact dermatitis. Dust samples were vacuum-collected in a special collecting bag from a one square meter area of living room floors of 100 randomly sampled houses in Los Baños, Laguna, Philippines for one minute. Chromato...

A controversial area in covariance structure models is the assessment of overall model fit. Researchers have expressed concern over the influence of sample size on measures of fit. Many contradictory claims have been made regarding which fit statistics are affected by N. Part of the confusion is due to there being two types of sample size effects that are confounded. The first is whether N dire...

This work explores the influence of motivation on choice behavior in a dynamic decisionmaking environment, where the payoffs from each choice depend on one’s recent choice history. Previous research reveals that participants in a regulatory fit exhibit increased levels of exploratory choice and flexible use of multiple strategies over the course of an experiment. The present study placed promot...

We present a detailed experimental study of the DΠ state of the NaRb molecule by means of Fourier transform spectroscopy of laser induced fluorescence. The entire data field for the DΠ state of NaRb and NaRb consists of rovibrational levels with v′ = 0−39 and J ′ = 1−200. The data were incorporated into a direct fit of a single potential energy curve to the level energies using the Inverted Per...

[Context and motivation] In the last years motion-based games have achieved an increasing success. These games have great potential to support physiotherapeutic programs, as they can guide the patients in performing the right movements for their rehabilitation. [Question/problem] However, on the one hand, existing games performed on commercial systems (e.g., Wii, Kinect) are not suitable for pe...
