This paper describes the development of a new Test of Child Speechreading (ToCS) that was specifically designed to be suitable for use with deaf children. Speechreading is a skill which is required for deaf children to access the language of the hearing community. ToCS is a child-friendly, computer-based, speechreading test that measures speechreading (silent lipreading) at three psycholinguist...

A surface level expert system has been developed to judge the feasibility of automating the design of new nonstandard product routings. The main goal in this domain is to design or plan an appropriate sequence of processing units to be used in the manufacture of non-standard products. Each product order has associated with it a description of the desired steel product based on a range of mechan...

The maintenance of the endangered Caspian brown trout Salmo trutta caspius populations in Iran depends on its artificial breeding. There is no information on how current hatchery breeding protocol influences effective population size of breeders (Ne), which is a critical parameter to maintain genetic diversity in future generations. The current hatchery protocol (CHP) was comparatively evaluate...

This study provides the scientific basis for the anti-inflammatory effects of licorice extract in a t-BHP (tert-butyl hydrogen peroxide)-induced liver damage model and the effects of its ingredients, glycyrrhizic acid (GA), liquiritin (LQ) and liquiritigenin (LG), in a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated microglial cell model. The GA, LQ and LG inhibited the LPS-stimulated elevation of pro-infl...

Recently, steel structures have been accounted for a large percentage of the buildings due to their advantages such as higher execution speed and easier construction. In steel structures, welded joints are commonly used and their quality plays a key role in stability of buildings under applied loads. Hence, to increase resiliency of welded steel structures against natural hazards, welded joints...
