OBJECTIVE The primary objective of the study was to investigate the feasibility, reliability, and validity of the Dutch digits in noise (DIN) test for measuring speech recognition in hearing aid and cochlear implant users and compare results to the standard sentences-in-noise (SIN) test. DESIGN The relation between speech reception thresholds for DIN test and SIN test was analysed to determin...

Input-output budgets for dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) are summarized for 24 small watersheds at 15 locations in the northeastern United States. The study watersheds are completely forested, free of recent physical disturbances, and span a geographical region bounded by West Virginia on the south and west, and Maine on the north and east. Total N budgets are not presented; however, fluxes ...

Clear-cutting is today the primary driver of largescale forest disturbance in boreal regions of Fennoscandia. Among the major environmental concerns of this practice for surface waters is the increased mobilization of nutrients, such as dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) into streams. But while DIN loading to first-order streams following forest harvest has been previously described, the downst...

jamal–od-din al-asadabadi (1838-1897) is one of the greatest reformers in modern islamic history. he has valuable views and suggestions of advancement of the islamic world and unity among muslims, and he is one of the pioneers of the fight against despotism and colonialism. the reformer thinker has paid many attempts for the renewal of religious understanding that fits contemporary necessities....

Differential interaction nets (DIN) have been introduced by Thomas Ehrhard and Laurent Regnier as an extension of linear logic proof-nets. We prove that DIN enjoy an internal separation property: given two different normal nets, there exists a dual net separating them, in analogy with Böhm’s theorem for the λ-calculus. Our result implies in particular the faithfulness of every non-trivial denot...

This study deals with the cumulative pitch variations in DIN male contacts. A connector provides a separable interface between two subsystems of an electronic system. DIN is a series of connector which stands for Deutsch Institut fur Normung. They are used for applications like switching, transmission, radio base stations, control units and machines. Connector manufacturing involves stamping, m...

The effect of the din distribution on the error probability of the detection test is studied here that when a class of randomly rotated spherical Ridges is used. The detection test is performed by a focused correlation detector, and the spherical codes studied here form a randomized orthogonal constellation. The colluders create a din-free forgery by uniform averaging of their individual copies...

DNA damage-inducible (din) genes in Bacillus subtilis are coordinately regulated and together compose a global regulatory network that has been termed the SOS-like or SOB regulon. To elucidate the mechanisms of SOB regulation, operator/promoter regions from three din loci (dinA, dinB, and dinC) of B. subtilis were cloned. Operon fusions constructed with these cloned din promoter regions rendere...

shaykh shams al-din mohammad ben makki ameli known as the first martyr is an outstanding faqih from jabal amel in the ayyubids period. trying to spread shiism in an anti-shiite environment and to have relationships with the sarbedaran of khorasan in iran, he was imprisoned and finally martyred. relying on the relationship between religion and reason and the status of reason in religious precept...

This paper will report on lessons learned from two studies using blended learning courses involving past and present experience of the authors. Will also discuss the importance of online asynchronous discussions in the teaching and learning process. The paper concludes with suggested guidelines for the use of asynchronous online discussions, considered useful for instructors who teach for the f...
