Para averiguar el efecto de dos tipos de documentación, electrónica e impresa en los resultados de aprendizaje de un programa editor de partituras, acceso a la documentación, y las percepciones de los usuarios, se llevó a cabo un estudio empírico de contraste con 30 estudiantes de música universitarios con nulos y bajas experiencias previas de uso de ordenadores. El grupo que trabajó con material hipermedia empleó menos tiempo en la fase de adiestramiento, consiguió una mejor puntuación en exactitud de las tareas de transferencia cercana y lejana de los tests y tuvo que consultar menos su manual que el grupo que utilizó el método tradicional.

Oxidation of silicon: further tests for the interfacial silicon emission model

The classical description of Si oxidation given by Deal and Grove has well-known limitations for thin oxides (below 200 Ã). Among the large number of alternative models published so far, the interfacial emission model has shown the greatest ability to fit the experimental oxidation curves. It relies on the assumption that during oxidation Si interstitials are emitted to the oxide to release strain and that the accumulation of these interstitials near the interface reduces the reaction rate there. The resulting set of differential equations makes it possible to model diverse oxidation experiments. In this paper, we have compared its predictions with two sets of experiments: (1) the pressure dependence for subatmospheric oxygen pressure and (2) the enhancement of the oxidation rate after annealing in inert atmosphere. The result is not satisfactory and raises serious doubts about the model’s correctness

Inter-comparisons of articulation tests on normal and hard-of-hearing listeners

This paper discusses a study undertaken to test various speech discrimination tests.

A comparison of the QuickSIN and TEN tests: two recent tests designed to predict patient benefit from high frequency amplification

This paper presents a comparison of two tests designed to predict which hearing impaired patients may benefit from high frequency amplification.

An analysis of the Woodcock Reading Mastery Tests and the Diagnostic Reading Scales for use with hearing-impaired children

This paper examines two individually administered diagnostic reading tests, the Woodcock Reading Mastery Tests and the Diagnostic Reading Scales, to determine their value for use with hearing-impaired children.

Are distortion levels a problem with digital signal processing hearing aids and frequency modulation (FM) systems?

The purpose of this study was to examine objective and subjective distortion present when frequency modulation (FM) systems were coupled with four digital signal processing (DSP) hearing aids. Electroacoustic analysis and subjective listening tests by experienced audiologists revealed that distortion levels varied across hearing aids and channels.

Comparison of video and toy reinforcers to motivate infants/toddlers for hearing tests

This paper is a study of the effectiveness between video and toy reinforcer types to motivate infants/toddlers for hearing tests. No significant differences were found between age groups or gender. Toy reinforcers were found to produce on average two more threshold estimates compared to video reinforcers. Variety, color and animation of animals may have contributed to this difference.

Comparing two receptive vocabulary tests: The receptive one word vocabulary test and the peabody picture vocabulary test

This paper discusses a study to determine whether the Receptive One Word Picture Vocabulary Test is more useful than the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test in assessing the vocabularies of hearing imparied children.

Are our tests accurate?

This paper presents a study investigating the accuracy of two standardized individual achievement tests, the Wechsler Individual Achievement (WIAT) and the Peabody Individual Achievement Test-Revised (PIAT-R). The study compares the students' scores and includes students' opinions of the tests.

A literature review of three common balance tests: Electronystagmography, Rotary Chair Testing, and Computerized Dynamic Posturography

This paper discusses the rationale, clinical applications, advantages and disadvantages of three common balance function tests: Electronystagmography (ENG), Rotational Chair Testing (RCT), and Computerized Dynamic Posturography (CDP).

A review of tests useful for evaluating language problems in children

This paper contains a list of tests for evaluating language disorders in children.

Deciding What to Use: Introducing Pieces of Digital Learning without Overwhelming the Students

There are many possible ways to introduce social media or academic technologies such as Blackboard, Collaborate, ePortfolio (Digication), blogs, wikis, tests, quizzes, Chalktalk, podcasting, etc. and those are just the ones we use at BCC! What is the best way to introduce these into the classroom and into the distance learning environment? Good question, and discussing it in fifteen minutes will be a GREAT starting point!.

Machine vision for the automatic classification of images acquired from Non-destructive tests

This project is based on Artificial Intelligence (A.I) and Digital Image processing (I.P) for automatic condition monitoring of sleepers in the railway track. Rail inspection is a very important task in railway maintenance for traffic safety issues and in preventing dangerous situations. Monitoring railway track infrastructure is an important aspect in which the periodical inspection of rail rolling plane is required.Up to the present days the inspection of the railroad is operated manually by trained personnel. A human operator walks along the railway track searching for sleeper anomalies. This monitoring way is not more acceptable for its slowness and subjectivity. Hence, it is desired to automate such intuitive human skills for the development of more robust and reliable testing methods. Images of wooden sleepers have been used as data for my project. The aim of this project is to present a vision based technique for inspecting railway sleepers (wooden planks under the railway track) by automatic interpretation of Non Destructive Test (NDT) data using A.I. techniques in determining the results of inspection.
