Age-related slowing is well documented but its origin remains unclear. A first validation study (Study 1) performed in 46 participants examined the effect of attention allocation (manipulated through a dual task) on various portions of individual simple reaction time (SRT) distribution (minimum, centile 5, centile 50, and centile 95 RTs). It showed that attention 'deprivation' due to a secondar...

BACKGROUND Stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) is an emerging technique for treating tumors in animals. OBJECTIVES To assess the outcome of dogs with suspected intracranial trigeminal nerve peripheral nerve sheath tumors (PNST) treated with SRT. ANIMALS Eight dogs with presumptive PNST. METHODS This was a retrospective study of dogs identified by searching UC Davis Veterinary Medical Teaching...

To evaluate the feasibility of swine manure treatment by a proposed Dry Thermophilic Anaerobic Digestion (DT-AD) system, we evaluated the methane yield of swine manure treated using a DT-AD method with rice straw under different C/N ratios and solid retention time (SRT) and calculated the mass and energy balances when the DT-AD system is used for swine manure treatment from a model farm with 10...

Resumo Introdução: Os Serviços Residenciais Terapêuticos (SRT) são pontos da Rede de Atenção Psicossocial alinhados com a lógica desinstitucionalização. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar percepção 'casa' pela equipe cuidadoras SRT e suas implicações para produção do cuidado durante pandemia Covid-19. Métodos: Estudo qualitativo abordagem cartográfica que teve como cenário 4 município Rio Jan...

The speech reception threshold (SRT) is the noise level at which the speech recognition rate of a test person is 50%. SRT measurement is relevant for patient screening, psychoacoustic research and algorithm development in hearing aids and cochlear implants. In this paper, we report on our efforts to automate SRT measurement using an automatic speech recognizer. During a test, sentences are pres...

BACKGROUND Chest wall injury after stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) for primary lung cancer has recently been reported. However, its detailed imaging findings are not clarified. So this study aimed to fully characterize the findings on computed tomography (CT), appearance time and frequency of chest wall injury after stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT) for primary lung cancer MATERIALS AND METHODS...

The serial reaction time (SRT) task has generated a very large amount of research. Nevertheless the debate continues as to the exact cognitive processes underlying implicit sequence learning. Thus, the first goal of this study is to elucidate the underlying cognitive processes enabling sequence acquisition. We therefore compared reaction time (RT) in sequence learning in a standard manual activ...

The macromolecular composition of activated sludge (lipids, intracellular proteins and intracellular polysaccharides) was studied together with its capacity to store macromolecules such as polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) in a conventional activated sludge system fed with synthetic sewage water at an organic load rate of 1.0 kg COD/(m(3)·d), varying the dissolved oxygen (DO) and temperature. Six DO co...

BACKGROUND To determine the usefulness of dose volume histogram (DVH) factors for predicting the occurrence of radiation pneumonitis (RP) after application of stereotactic radiation therapy (SRT) for lung tumors, DVH factors were measured before irradiation. METHODS From May 2004 to April 2006, 25 patients were treated with SRT at the University of Tokyo Hospital. Eighteen patients had primar...

The purpose of this study is to determine the extracranial dose in patients treated for pituitary adenoma with conventional and stereotactic radiotherapy (SRT). Twelve patients receiving treatment with radiation for pituitary adenoma were selected. Six patients underwent SRT, and six patients underwent conventional radiotherapy. Extracranial doses were measured with pre-irradiation annealed lit...
