Purpose: To analyze the effects of an auditory rehabilitation program for the temporal ordering ability, of duration and pitch patterns of sounds, in elderly hearing aids users. Methods: Participants were 17 elderly people, with ages between 60 and 84 years, divided into Control Group (CG), which only used hearing aids, and Study Group (SG), which were submitted to an auditory rehabilitation pr...

We are interested in generating tests for duration systems modeling real-time systems. The specification of a duration system is given as a duration graph. Duration graphs are an extension of timed graphs and are suitable for modeling the accumulated times spent by computations within the considered duration system. In this paper, we present a method for generating tests for duration systems ba...

abstract in this study, fresh pistachio of 'ohadi' and 'akbari' cultivars expose to the uv-c radiation with a wavelength of 0, 3, 6 and 12 kj/m2, then located at temperature of 1 ± 3 degrees celsius for 45 days. properties or attributes, including weight loss, stiffness and sensory evaluation of fresh pistachio after 20 and 45 days storage were measured. results showed that pistachio nut weight...

The motion aftereffect (MAE) is an illusory drift of a physically stationary pattern induced by prolonged viewing of a moving pattern. Depending on the nature of the test pattern the MAE can be phenomenally different. This difference in appearance has led to the suggestion that different underlying mechanisms may be responsible and several reports show that this might be the case. Here, we test...

The aim of this research was to analyze temporal auditory processing and phonological awareness in school-age children with benign childhood epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes (BECTS). Patient group (GI) consisted of 13 children diagnosed with BECTS. Control group (GII) consisted of 17 healthy children. After neurological and peripheral audiological assessment, children underwent a behavioral ...

Purpose: To evaluate the auditory temporal processing in workers occupationally exposed to organophosphate pesticides. Methods: Cross-sectional study in which 43 rural workers of both genders with bilaterally normal auditory thresholds that were occupationally exposed to organophosphates were assessed. The procedures included the following items: questionnaire regarding personal and professiona...
