BACKGROUND Transient evoked otoacoustic emissions (TEOAE) are widely used for human neonatal deafness screening, but have not been reported for clinical use in dogs. HYPOTHESIS/OBJECTIVES To investigate the feasibility of TEOAE testing in conscious puppies and the ability of TEOAE testing to correctly identify deaf and hearing ears, as defined by brainstem auditory evoked response (BAER). A...

It has been observed that following a brief period of isolation, children tend to show a greater increase in responsiveness on a simple motor task than nonisolated children do when verbal reinforcement is given periodically during a task. One explanation is that the social deprivation of the brief isolation heightens the motivation to receive social reinforcement. Another explanation is that th...

Let n | m be positive integers with the same prime factors, such that p3 | n for some prime p. We construct a noncrossed product division algebra D with involution ∗, of index m and exponent n, such that D possesses a Baer ordering relative to the involution ∗. Using similar techniques we construct indecomposable division algebras with involution possessing a Baer

Reinhold Baer asked the relationship between certain properties in a nonempty set P with a partial operation (called an “add" by Baer [1]). The first paper in our sequence [Paper I] answered his question for a special type of an add called a pregroup by Stallings [12]. This paper [Paper II] answers an analogous question for a wider class of adds.

Thirty two patients between 6 months and 14 years of age with tubercular meningitis were evaluated for brain stem auditory evoked response (BAER) and Visual evoked responses (VER), within 7 days of admission. Absolute latencies and interpeak latencies were compared with values obtained from normal children. BAER abnormality was found in 56.25% and VER in 28%children, respectively. BAER abnormal...

In [6], the compatibility of Baer involutions and elations was studied. Further compatibility results for translation planes of dimension 2 were obtained in [10]. For example [6, Theorem (2.2)], we have the following. Let n be a derivable translation plane of even order q, q # 2, with derivable net N. Let EL denote an elation group in the translation complement which fixes the component L of N ...

Let $R$ be a ring and $M$ be a right $R$-module. In this paper, we give some properties of self-cogeneratormodules. If $M$ is self-cogenerator and $S = End_{R}(M)$ is a cononsingular ring, then $M$ is a$mathcal{K}$-module. It is shown that every self-cogenerator Baer is dual Baer.

A new method for realizing the first and second order cohomology groups of an internal abelian group in a Barr-exact category was introduced in [6] and [10]. The main role, in each level, is played by a direction functor. This approach can be generalized to any level n and produces a long exact cohomology sequence. By applying this method to Moore categories we show that they represent a good c...
