Increased dynamic regulation of postural tone through Alexander Technique training.

Gurfinkel and colleagues (2006) recently found that healthy adults dynamically modulate postural muscle tone in the body axis during anti-gravity postural maintenance and that this modulation is inversely correlated with axial stiffness. Our objective in the present study was to investigate whether dynamic modulation of axial postural tone can change through training. We examined whether teache...

Chern classes in Alexander-Spanier cohomology

In this article we construct explicit cocycles in the AlexanderSpanier cohomological complex, representing the Chern character of an element in K-theory

patterns and variations in native and non-native interlanguage pragmatic rating: effects of rater training, intercultural proficiency, and self-assessment
