The focus of this study is to analyse the characteristic phenomena linguistic variety spoken in Madrid presented manuscript short comedy Los madrileños adoptivos (1790), by Antonio González de León, order determine if these elements can really be known as dialect features that 18th century. For this, firstly, a contextualization work has been carried out, which allows us understand its uniquene...

The subject deals with a reduced model of the conductiveradiative transient transfer in a participating medium. The accuracy of the analytical solution based on the well-known two-flux approximation and expressed with global radiative coefficients is tested in the case of sharp thermal excitation by a heat pulse on the front face of anisotropically scattering media. A very good agreement is ach...

BACKGROUND Tourette Syndrome (TS) is a neurological condition presenting chronic motor and phonic tics, and important degree of comorbidity. Considered an uncommon illness, it first becomes apparent during childhood. Current standard treatment only achieves partial control of the condition, and provokes frequent, and sometimes severe, side effects. METHODS AND DESIGN Main aim: To show that, w...

Pantropical degradation of coral reefs is prompting considerable investment in their active restoration. However, current measures restoration success are based largely on cover, which does not fully reflect ecosystem function or reef health. Soundscapes an important aspect health; loud and diverse soundscapes guide the recruitment organisms, but this process compromised when denudes soundscape...

Longitudinal change in five cognitive abilities was investigated to determine if the direction or magnitude of change was related to the individual's ability level. Adults between 18 and 97 years of age performed three versions of 16 cognitive tests on two occasions separated by an average of 2.7 years. In order to control for influences associated with regression toward the mean, level of abil...

Assessing cognitive change in older adults is a common use of neuropsychological services, and neuropsychologists have utilized several strategies to determine if a change is "real," "reliable," and "meaningful." Although standardized regression-based (SRB) prediction formulas may be useful in determining change, SRBs have not been widely applied to older adults. The current study sought to dev...

It is widely recognized that experience with cognitive tests can influence estimates of cognitive change. Prior research has estimated experience effects at the level of groups by comparing the performance of a group of participants tested for the second time with the performance of a different group of participants at the same age tested for the first time. This twice-minus-once-tested method ...

Does personality change across the entire life course, and are those changes due to intrinsic maturation or major life experiences? This longitudinal study investigated changes in the mean levels and rank order of the Big Five personality traits in a heterogeneous sample of 14,718 Germans across all of adulthood. Latent change and latent moderated regression models provided 4 main findings: Fir...

Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Tourette Syndrome (TS) present as distinct conditions clinically; however, comorbidity and inhibitory control deficits have been proposed for both. Whilst such deficits have been studied widely within clinical populations, findings are mixed-partly due to comorbidity and/or medication effects-and studies have rarely distinguished between subty...

Gilles de la Tourette syndrome is a movement disorder characterized by repetitive stereotyped motor and phonic movements with varying degrees of psychiatric comorbidity. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) has emerged as a novel therapeutic intervention for patients with refractory Tourette syndrome. Since 1999, more than 100 patients have undergone DBS at various targets within the corticostriatothal...
