A preliminary investigation of some acoustic characteristics of ejectives in Waima’a: VOT and closure duration [PDF]

, 2004
Waima’a is a little known language spoken in East Timor. From a typological perspective, its stop system is unusual for an Austronesian language: it has a fourway stop system which includes a set of voiceless ejectives.

Patterns of approximated localised moments for visual loop closure detection

IET Computer Vision, 2017
In the context of autonomous mobile robot navigation, loop closing is defined as the correct identification of a previously visited location. Loop closing is essential for the accurate self‐localisation of a robot; however, it is also challenging due to ...

Electrical Neuroimaging of Music Processing in Pianists With and Without True Absolute Pitch

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2019
True absolute pitch (AP), labeling of pitches with semitone precision without a reference, is classically studied using isolated tones. However, AP is acquired and has its function within complex dynamic musical contexts.

Perceptual load modulates contour integration in conscious and unconscious states [PDF]

PeerJ, 2019
Previous research has documented that contour detection and integration may either be affected by local features such as the distances between elements or by high-level cognitive factors such as attention in our visual system. Less is known about how low

Visuo-spatial cognition in Williams syndrome: Reviewing and accounting for the strengths and weaknesses in performance [PDF]

, 2003
Individuals with Williams syndrome typically show relatively poor visuo-spatial abilities in comparison to stronger verbal skills. However, individuals' level of performance is not consistent across all visuo-spatial tasks.

Preferences of Pediatric Patients and Their Caregivers for Chemotherapy‐Induced Nausea and Vomiting Control Endpoints: A Mixed Methods Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Purpose Although not always achieved, complete chemotherapy‐induced nausea and vomiting (CINV) control is the conventional goal of CINV prophylaxis. In this two‐center, mixed‐methods study, we sought to understand the preferences of adolescent patients and family caregivers for CINV control endpoints.

Feasibility and Preliminary Efficacy of Integrative Neuromuscular Training for Childhood Cancer Survivors: A Pilot Study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Survivors of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) often exhibit early deficits in muscle and movement competence, which can compromise long‐term health. Integrative neuromuscular training (INT), a multifaceted approach combining fundamental movement activities with strength exercises, may help address these deficits during ...
