introduction: one of the important evaluative indexes of language development is word finding ability. the application of formal assessment tools, such as twf-2, is the most common way of assessing this ability in western countries. there is not any formal assessment tool for assessment of this ability in iran. therefore this study aimed to determine the validity and reliability of persian vers...

There is a growing interest in innovative chemical synthesis in microreactors owing to the potential for high efficiency, selectivity, and yield. In microfluidic systems, the lowvolume spatial and temporal control of reactants and products offers a novel method for chemical manipulation and product generation. Glass, silicon, poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS), and poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) ha...

The relative intelligibility of the revised CID W-1 spondaic word list, as developed and recommended for clinical use by ASHA, was evaluated in two experiments. In Experiment 1, the revised W-1s were presented via monitored live voice to 25 subjects with normal hearing. Mean minimum recognition levels for each of the 36 spondees varied between 16.8 and 25.2 dB SPL, a range of 8.4 dB. In Experim...

We measure the low lying eigenmodes of an overlap Dirac operator on 2–flavor staggered configurations. By comparing the eigenmode distribution to the predictions of Random Matrix Theory we test to what accuracy staggered configurations describe continuum QCD. The agreement between the numerical data and RMT implies that at our quark mass values the lattice artifacts of the staggered configurati...

one of the main problems of the drug abusers is drug related attention bias, which causes craving, and as a result drive the drug abusers to take narcotics. methadone is used as a maintenance treatment for drug abusers. the purpose of this study is evaluation of the effect of methadone maintenance therapy (mmt) on selective attention and drug related attention bias. this study investigated drug...

background and aim: dichotic listening tests have been used to study right ear advantage (rea). fused dichotic rhymed word test (fdrwt), using rhymed words, is advantage­ous because of reducing the effect of attention on the test results. development of persian version of the fdrwt, and evaluation of its psychometric properties in normal children were the aims of the present study. methods: thi...
