PURPOSE To compare the receptive vocabulary and the verbal comprehension of schoolchildren with and without Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), as well as to confront their performance with the normative scores from applied tests. METHODS 40 students, with and without ADHD, were submitted to two receptive language tests, TVfusp and Token Test. Descriptive analysis was made, obtai...

this analysis was conducted on 31 synoptic stations in iran. initially, the mann-kendall test was administered in order to analyse the trend of alterations of these two components over time and the results suggest that 16% of the stations show significant relationship with annual precipitation (positive and negative). more stations showed significant relationships between sunspots and minimum a...

Different groups are involved in the MERIS vicarious activities. Most of the time, the prediction of the incoming radiance to the sensor needs radiative transfer computations. An inter comparison exercise is reported here based on radiative transfer computations with different codes applied on suitable test cases for vicarious calibration. Because the top of atmosphere signal over bright target...

The present analysis introduces the N-Effect – the discovery that increasing the number of competitors (N) can decrease competitive motivation. Studies 1a-b found evidence that average test scores (e.g., SAT scores) fall as the average number of test-takers at testtaking venues increases. Study 2 found that individuals trying to finish an easy quiz among the top 20 percent in terms of speed fin...
