A Longitudinal Study of AIDS Conversations Between Mothers and Adolescents

AIDS Education and Prevention, 1998
The current study examined the stability of mother-adolescent AIDS conversations. Twenty-four mother-adolescent dyads (9 boys, 15 girls) participated at Time 1 (adolescents aged 10-14 years), and again 2 years later. Mothers and adolescents engaged in a videotaped conversation about AIDS and completed AIDS questionnaires.

Proton‐Coupled Electron Transfer Aided Thermoelectric Energy Conversion and Storage

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 2023
AbstractLow‐grade heat is ubiquitous in the environment and its thermoelectric conversion by the ionic conductors remains a challenge because of the low efficiency and poor sustainability. Here we demonstrate that the thermoelectric performances can be boosted by combining the Soret effect of protons and proton‐coupled electron transfer (PCET) reaction

A process for computer-aided cartographic data conversion

Computers & Industrial Engineering, 1984
Abstract A procedure has been developed to convert large quantities or data recorded in planer coordinates to UTM coordinates without introduction of distortion. The described method was developed to replace an earlier procedure that did produce some distortion in the boundary area of segments of the data base.

Prosodic aids to structural analysis of conversational speech

ICASSP '86. IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing, 2005
An algorithm for inferring the sentence structure of conversational speech using prosodic information is presented. The fundamental frequency (F0) contour shape, which is the major prosodic information parameter that best represents the structure of a spoken sentence, is analyzed in detail by means of F0 shape approximation with a sequence of linear ...

Evaluation of the content of computer-aided conversations

Augmentative and Alternative Communication, 1995
The study reports an experimental evaluation of the content of computer-aided and unaided conversations on the same fairly broad topic (i.e., holidays). The computer-aided conversations involved volunteers and one of the researchers, who simulated a nonspeaking person using an alternative communication system, “TALK” (talk aid using preloaded knowledge)

Remote Work Aided by Conversational Agents

2020
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, remote work from home has rapidly become a necessity around the world, drastically changing the potential landscape for the future of work. Over the last couple of decades, microtask crowdsourcing has emerged as a viable means of carrying out remote online work to earn one’s living — an alternative to traditional work ...

CONVERSION COATINGS: as aids to corrosion prevention

Anti-Corrosion Methods and Materials, 1964
When the surface of a metal is treated chemically so that an inert chemical film is formed by the reaction, such films are known as conversion coatings. They may be applied to a variety of metals in many different colours, shades and thicknesses and all confer some degree of protection against corrosion.

Conversational perspectives in a communication aid for non‐vocal people

International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 1996
ABSTRACTSA computer‐based text storage and retrieval system (TALK) has recently been developed as a conversation aid for non‐vocal people. To facilitate the rapid retrieval (and synthesised speech output) of stored content, potential utterances on each conversational topic are organised according to three intersecting perspectives. The perspectives are

Computer-aided conversion of an engine from diesel to methane

Applied Energy, 2013
Abstract The paper proposes an analytical methodology that uses empirical based models and CFD simulations to efficiently evaluate design alternatives in the conversion of a diesel engine to either CNG dedicated or dual fuel engines. The procedure is performed in five steps.

Audiofrequency Conversion: An Aid for Rehabilitation in Neurosensory Hearing Loss

Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1962
Although the final chapter has not been written on the surgical and medical management of the various types of conductive hearing loss, many significant inroads have been made. 1,2 The patient with a perceptive hearing loss, on the other hand, can expect only rehabilitative assistance.
