this study aimed at investigating the effect of learners’ gender on their preferences for corrective feedback. learners’ prefer- ences which were investigated included the necessity, frequency, timing, type, method, and delivering agent of error treatment. to this end, a questionnaire was administered to a random sample of 100 participants (50 males and 50 females) studying english (efl) at shi...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the outcome in dogs treated with demineralized bone matrix (DBM) as an adjunct to orthopedic procedures. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective and case-match study. ANIMALS Dogs (n=75). METHODS Medical records (1999-2006) and radiographs of dogs that had orthopedic procedures (comminuted fractures, tibial plateau leveling osteotomy [TPLO] where correction for tibial rotation c...

[Purpose] To present the clinically significant improvement of straight back syndrome (SBS) in a patient with spinal pain and exertional dyspnea. [Subject and Methods] A 19 year old presented with excessive thoracic hypokyphosis and other postural deviations. A multimodal CBP® mirror image® protocol of corrective exercises, traction procedures and spine/posture adjusting were given over an init...

OBJECTIVE To report the use of three dimensional (3D) computed tomographic (CT) imaging, computer simulation and rapid prototype modelling to aid surgical correction of a complex antebrachial deformity in a dog. METHODS A six-year-old, 13 kg spayed female Chihuahua crossbreed dog was presented for worsening forelimb gait and exercise intolerance. Both forelimbs had gross angular limb deformit...

To clarify the role of visual feedback in the generation of corrective movements after inaccurate primary saccades, we used a visually-triggered saccade task in which we varied how long the target was visible. The target was on for only 100ms (OFF100ms), on until the start of the primary saccade (OFFonset) or on for 2s (ON). We found that the tolerance for the post-saccadic error was small (-2%...

One of the basic difficulties with interactive walkthroughs is the high quality rendering of object surfaces with non-diffuse light scattering characteristics. Since full ray tracing at interactive rates is usually impossible, we render a precomputed global illumination solution using graphics hardware and use remaining computational power to correct the appearance of non-diffuse objects on-the...

Corrective and conditioning exercises accomplish two entirely different purposes, yet they are frequently confused. Corrective exercises are given solely for the purpose of eradicating a postural defect and thereby increasing efficiency, while conditioning exercises aim at the increase of strength and endurance. No correction is necessarily accomplished but any defects present may be either imp...

Since the writing of A. C. Pigou (1932), taxes have been emphasized as a means of control of activities that generate harm, especially in the domain of pollution, yet their use is in fact limited (Robert N. Stavins 2003). In contrast, liability has great importance in reducing harm. Much of the vast terrain of accidents—from oil spills, to crane mishaps, to car collisions—is subject to liabilit...
