Peer-assisted learning (PAL) was implemented in the context of delivering training with a simulator, the Haptic Cow. This project was undertaken as a way of increasing student access to the simulator and to investigate the possibility of using PAL more extensively in the curriculum. Peer tutors attended a workshop to learn basic teaching skills and were then trained to use the simulator. The tu...

BACKGROUND/AIM The aim of this research was to determine the effects of physical activity level (PAL) and physical fitness on falling parameters in community-dwelling elderly people. MATERIALS AND METHODS Seventy-six elderly people were grouped as low PAL group (group 1, n: 38) and high PAL (group 2, n: 38) according to their PAL scores. PAL was measured by the Physical Activity Scale for the...

INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to compare the accuracy of the Root ZX II Apex Locator (RZX), the Elements Apex Locator (ELE), and the Precision Apex Locator (PAL). METHODS Forty single-rooted extracted teeth were decoronated and the root canals coronally flared. Actual canal lengths were determined by inserting a #10 file until the tip was visualized (12.8x magnification) just wit...

A sound reproduction system usually consists of several types of loudspeakers to cater to sophisticated applications. The directivity of a loudspeaker is a measure of its efficiency in sending sounds to a particular direction instead of all directions. Demand to control the directivity of a sound reproduction system is gaining momentumwith many new designs of directional loudspeakers, including...

An approximately 15,000-dalton outer membrane lipoprotein of Haemophilus influenzae, the Hi-PAL (P6) protein, has been shown to elicit bactericidal and protective antibodies against both type b and nontypeable H. influenzae strains and is a vaccine candidate for these organisms. To determine whether the lipid modification of this protein is required for immunogenicity or the elicitation of biol...

Subfractionation of Microsomes, Cell Suspension Culture, PAL, Cinnamic Acid p-Hydroxylase 1. The time course of activity of soluble and microsomal phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) was studied in dark grown cell cultures of soybean (Glycine max). A distinct activity increase of PAL in the soluble and microsomal fraction occurred prior to the stationary phase of the cell culture. Cinnamic acid p...

Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a genetic metabolic disease in which the decrease or loss of phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) activity results in elevated, neurotoxic levels of phenylalanine (Phe). Due to many obstacles, PAH enzyme replacement therapy is not currently an option. Treatment of PKU with an alternative enzyme, phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL), was first proposed in the 1970s. However, iss...

Despite emergent progress in many fields of bionics, a functional Bionic Voice prosthesis for laryngectomy patients (larynx amputees) has not yet been achieved, leading to a lifetime of vocal disability for these patients. This study introduces a novel framework of Pneumatic Bionic Voice Prostheses as an electronic adaptation of the Pneumatic Artificial Larynx (PAL) device. The PAL is a non-inv...
