BACKGROUND "Sleep-low" consists of a sequential periodization of carbohydrate (CHO) availability-low glycogen recovery after "train high" glycogen-depleting interval training, followed by an overnight-fast and light intensity training ("train low") the following day. This strategy leads to an upregulation of several exercise-responsive signaling proteins, but the chronic effect on performance h...

pragmatic assessment and consistency in rating are among the subject matters which are still in need of more profound investigations. the importance of the issue is highlighted when remembering that inconsistency in ratings would surely damage the test fairness issue in assessment and lead to much diversity in ratings. our principal concern in this study was observing the criteria that american...

Literacy skills are critical for future success, yet over 60% of high school seniors lack proficient reading according to standardized tests. The focus on stakes, test performance may lead educators “teach-to-the-test” rather than supporting transferable comprehension strategies that students need. StairStepper can fill this gap by blending necessary prep and strategy practice in a fun, game-ba...

Most popular feature selection methods for text classification (TC) are based on binary information concerning the presence/absence of the feature in each training document. As such, these methods do not exploit term frequency information. In order to overcome this drawback we break down each training document of length k into k training “microdocuments”, each consisting of a single word occurr...

Visuomotor adaptation has been thought to be an implicit process that results when a sensory-prediction error signal is used to update a forward model. A striking feature of human competence is the ability to receive verbal instructions and employ strategies to solve tasks; such explicit processes could be used during visuomotor adaptation. Here, we used a novel task design that allowed us to o...
