The Video Head Impulse Test in a Case of Suspected Bilateral Loss of Vestibular Function
Introduction A patient who had no symptoms suggestive of bilateral loss of vestibular function presented no responses in rotational and caloric tests. Objectives To demonstrate the importance of the video head impulse test in neuro-otologic ...

The Nutrition Elite: Do Only the Highest Levels of Caloric Knowledge, Obesity Knowledge, and Motivation Matter in Processing Nutrition Ad Claims and Disclosures? [PDF]
This study examines the role of the highest levels of caloric knowledge, obesity consequences knowledge, and motivation to search for nutrition information in the processing of relative nutrient content claims in advertisements, such as “half the ...

Caloric curve of star clusters [PDF]
Self-gravitating systems, like globular clusters or elliptical galaxies, are the prototypes of many-body systems with long-range interactions, and should be the natural arena where to test theoretical predictions on the statistical behaviour of long-range-interacting systems.

Study of the ATLAS central calorimeters response to pions in 2004 combined test beam [PDF]
During summer 2004, a testbeam for the ATLAS experiment was performed at CERN. A full slice of the ATLAS detector was tested with the final version of the acquisition electronics. In the talk presented at Calor06 conference, the ATLAS calorimeters response to high and low energy pions was presented.

Dissociation of Caloric and Video Head Impulse Tests in Patients With Delayed Endolymphatic Hydrops
Delayed endolymphatic hydrops (DEH) represents a rare clinical entity characterized by intermittent vertigo attacks mimicking those of Ménière's disease (MD) in a patient with a prior sensorineural hearing loss.

Caloric curve for finite nuclei in relativistic models [PDF]
In this work we calculate the caloric curve (excitation energy per particle as a function of temperature) for finite nuclei within the non--linear Walecka model for different proton fractions. It is shown that the caloric curve is sensitive to the proton fraction. Freeze-out volume effects in the caloric curve are also studied.
