When the cochlea in the inner ear hair cell has functional problems, a sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) occurs, and we called ‘cochlea dead region’. Cochlea dead region is that no (or very few) functioning in inner hair cell or neurons. In this paper, we tested word recognition score (WRS) to know an effective amplification of hearing aids with different location of dead region and gain (dB). ...

BACKGROUND The European Farmers' Study has indicated that sheep farmers might be at risk for the development of respiratory symptoms. AIMS To assess the prevalence of respiratory symptoms in sheep breeders and potential work related risk factors. METHODS All sheep breeders listed in two regions of South Germany were asked to answer a mailed questionnaire on respiratory symptoms, work relate...

This discussion paper for the Workshop on Reduction Strategies in Programming and Rewriting (WRS’01) speculates on the viability of strategic programming in mainstream programming and in two selected application areas: theorem proving and programming-in-the-large.

China is facing a critical period of high–speed development and transition to high–quality development. The purpose this study investigate the spatial temporal distribution coupling coordination urbanization water resources in Yellow River Basin (YRB). Firstly, we propose concept “High–Quality Development Urbanization–Water Resources Coupling” construct (HQDU) system consisting five sub–systems...

Equilibrium swelling of 8 wt % suspension waxy (WMS) and normal (NMS) maize, waxy(WRS) normal(NRS) rice when heated to 80 °C at different sucrose concentrations (0–30 %) were characterized. The power reached maximum values 10.5 14.5 concentration 5 10 for NMS WRS respectively, increased with WMS from 11 15.5 decreased NRS 8.2. onset temperature gelatinization all starches whereas enthalpy maize...

There are normative issues related to the concept of commodity goods with object warehouse receipts and social regarding benefits for grain or rice farmers. Therefore, it is necessary evaluate regulation receipt system so that has a unique contribution small The research applied in this juridical-empirical qualitative approach. fact shows farmers do not want use Warehouse Receipt System (WRS) b...

Neonatal diabetes mellitus is a rare condition, the causes of which are mostly unknown. One well defined though very rare entity is the autosomal recessive Wolcott-Rallison syndrome, in which permanent neonatal diabetes, osteopenia, and epiphyseal dysplasia occur. Only five previous families have been reported, and here we describe the second in which parental consanguinity was present. The pro...

Early-onset diabetes, liver dysfunction, growth retardation, spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia, and tendency to skeletal fractures due to osteopenia are characteristics of Wolcott-Rallison syndrome (WRS). Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2α kinase (EIF2AK3) is the only known gene, which is responsible for this rare autosomal recessive disorder. Here, we report two siblings a girl and a boy w...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES For the hearing-impaired population, quality of sound when listening to speech on mobile phone is often dissatisfactory. Even with a turning up the volume, they feel mobile speech unclear and desire the mobile sounds to be amplified as suited for the hearing characteristics. The purpose of this study was to estimate the appropriateness of NAL-NL1 fitting formula for th...
