Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) has been shown to enhance exercise performance. The weighted plunger (WP) system of inspiratory threshold loading is the most commonly used method of IMT, but is expensive and cumbersome. We have evaluated a commercially available portable spring-loaded IMT device, the THRESHOLD trainer. The WP and THRESHOLD trainer devices were evaluated with their opening pre...

A number of multi-methodological Information Systems research frameworks have been proposed to guide research in the IS field. In this paper, we describe a three-year program of research evaluating a computerbased training system for deception detection (Agent99 Trainer) using one such multi-methodological IS framework. The process and results of this research program clearly demonstrate the be...

Historically, a two semester sequence of courses in microprocessor software and interfacing was taught using a processor such as the Motorola 6800. However, advances in the field have necessitated teaching more advanced microprocessors (such as the Intel 80x86 family) in the
