In the current study, the child AQ was administered in Japan, to examine whether the UK results for reliability and validity generalize to a different culture. Assessment groups were: Group 1: n = 81 children with Asperger Syndrome (AS) or high-functioning autism (HFA); Group 2: n = 22 children diagnosed PDD-NOS with average IQ; and Group 3: n = 372 randomly selected controls from primary and s...

One approach to derive a data-based assessment factor (AF) for subchronic-to-chronic extrapolation is to determine ratios between the NOAEL(subchronic) and NOAEL(chronic) for the same compounds. Instead of using ratios of NOAELs, the distribution can also be estimated by ratios of subchronic and chronic Benchmark Doses (or Critical Effect Doses, CEDs, for continuous data). In this study 314 dos...

This paper provides a performance evaluation of tree and mesh routing topologies of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) in a cultural heritage site. The historical site selected was San Juan Bautista church in Talamanca de Jarama (Madrid, Spain). We report the preliminary analysis required to study the effects of heating in this historical location using WSNs to monitor the temperature and humidity...

OBJECTIVE Verify whether PDD reflects vocal changes obtained by vocal rehabilitation and whether it reflects the changes in perceptual analysis. METHODS Samples of the sustained vowel / ε /, pre and post-therapy, from 34 individuals with different dysphonia diagnosis were collected. The voices were acoustically analyzed by the PDD and an auditory perceptual analysis was performed using a visu...
