Three new direct-service staff participated in a program that used a video model to train target skills needed to conduct a discrete-trial session. Percentage accuracy in completing a discrete-trial teaching session was evaluated using a multiple baseline design across participants. During baseline, performances ranged from a mean of 12% to 63% accuracy. During video modeling, there was an imme...

Entwined structures (A,C, ψ) were introduced by Brzeziński and Majid to study the interdependence of an R-algebra A and an R-coalgebra C, R a commutative ring. It turned out that this relationship can also be expressed by the fact that A⊗R C has a canonical A-coring structure. More generally weak entwined structures and their modules were studied by Caenepeel and Groot and it was suggested by C...

Our understanding of left ventricular (LV) function and its description using echocardiographic techniques continues to evolve. From measurement of systolic function by ejection fraction, Tissue Doppler parameters are now used to evaluate systolic and diastolic function in the shortand long axis. However, it is now recognized that LV function also involves twisting or torsion. LV torsion result...
