With the continually increasing complexity of e-learning environments, there is a need for integrating concepts of cognitive load theory (CLT) with concepts of human–computer interaction (HCI). Basic concepts of both fieldswere reviewed and contrasted. A literature reviewwas conductedwithin the literature database ‘‘The Guide to Computing Literature,” searching for ‘‘cognitive load theory” and ...

Growing evidence from online credibility research reveals that online users rely on heuristic processes to evaluate the credibility of online information. The current paper, which is based on the construal level theory (CLT), proposes that congruency between the psychological distance of a stimulus and the way it is mentally construed can act as a heuristic for believability. According to CLT, ...

OBJECTIVE To ascertain whether the parathyroid hormone (PTH) secretion of continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) uremic patients could be suppressed by repeated subcutaneous injections of calcitriol (CLT). DESIGN Nonrandomized prospective study with weekly evaluation. SETTING Hospital CAPD clinic. PATIENTS Seven uremic CAPD patients with signs of severe hyperparathyroidism. IN...

We study the behavior of innnite systems of coupled harmonic oscillators as the time t ! 1, and generalize the Central Limit Theorem (CLT) to show that their reduced Wigner distributions become Gaussian under quite general conditions. This shows that generalized coherent states tend to be produced naturally. A suucient condition for this to happen is shown to be that the spectral function is an...

At Crypto 2013, Coron, Lepoint, and Tibouchi (CLT) proposed a practical Graded Encoding Scheme (GES) over the integers, which has very similar cryptographic features to ideal multilinear maps. In fact, the scheme of Coron et al. is the second proposal of a secure GES, and has advantages over the first scheme of Garg, Gentry, and Halevi (GGH). For example, unlike the GGH construction, the subgro...

The recently approved angiotensin II receptor blocker, azilsartan medoxomil (AZL), was determined spectrophotometrically and spectrofluorimetrically in its combination with chlorthalidone (CLT) in their combined dosage form. The UV-spectrophotometric technique depends on simultaneous measurement of the first derivative spectra for AZL and CLT at 286 and 257 nm, respectively, in methanol. The sp...

BACKGROUND This was an evaluation of intra-individual variation of the cuff-leak test (ΔCLT) immediately post-intubation and pre-extubation, as a predictor of post-extubation stridor. METHODS Prospective, clinical investigation in the ICU of a non-university hospital. CLTs were performed immediately after intubation (T0) and before extubation (T1) to evaluate the differences in cuff leak (ΔCL...

PURPOSE To establish a standard clinical procedure for measuring intraocular pressure (Po) with the contact lens tonometer (CLT), to demonstrate possibilities for analyzing ocular pulsation and performing ophthalmodynamometry. METHODS A reliable histogram-based analyzing system for determining Po is used. First, the ocular pressure was registered with the CLT method and compared with the Gold...

In this paper, authenticity of English language teaching methods is evaluated with and Without Post-Method Condition. Some defining Communicative Language Teaching are mentioned along with the origin, theoretical background and major characteristic features. Although Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) is one of the best and a recent approach in teaching English as foreign / second language a...

We study the behavior of infinite systems of coupled harmonic oscillators as the time t → ∞, and generalize the Central Limit Theorem (CLT) to show that their reduced Wigner distributions become Gaussian under quite general conditions. This shows that generalized coherent states tend to be produced naturally. A sufficient condition for this to happen is shown to be that the spectral function is...
