This report includes an extended review of the contemporary inclusionary criteria used to identify children with suspected apraxia of speech (sAOS) and describes findings supporting a lexical stress marker for sAOS. The thesis is that although a deficit in speech praxis is the core disorder in sAOS, only a few diagnostic markers for sAOS assess this speech motor control construct. The proposed ...

Acetamide (CH3CONH2) has been detected in emission and absorption toward the star-forming region Sagittarius B2(N) with the 100 m Green Bank Telescope (GBT) by means of four A-species and four E-species rotational transitions. All transitions have energy levels less than 10 K. The Sgr B2(N) cloud is known to have a cold halo with clumps of gas at several different velocities. Absorption feature...

This study targeted to optimize process factors using response surface methodology and determining their effect on delignification cellulose recovery. Optimization of pretreatment conditions with desirability value 0.828 was done at temperature (A) 150°C, contact time (B) 2 h, liquid-to-solid ratio (LSR) (C) 15 ml/g. The sample soaked in an aqueous ethanol solution (48% ethanol). Chemical compo...

In this paper, experimental results of a deep drawing process to produce a cylinder of high strength steel with a spherical head were compared with it’s simulation results and three proposal design types. Meanwhile, the amount of limiting draw ratio in some stages was determined. Accuracy and precision of the results of a finite element software to predicting the multi stage deep drawing proces...

Phosphorylation of sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+-cycling proteins by a membrane-associated Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaM kinase II) is a well-documented physiological mechanism for regulation of transmembrane Ca2+ fluxes and the cardiomyocyte contraction-relaxation cycle. The present study investigated the effects of L-thyroxine-induced hyperthyroidism on protein expressio...

We present a new loop-free on-demand routing protocol for ad-hoc networks, the Labeled Successor Routing (LSR) protocol, which identifies loop-free successors to a destination using route-request labels (RRL). Each route request (RREQ) used during the on-demand destination search process is identified uniquely by a sequence number associated with the issuing source address. Route replies (RREP)...

Eça and Hoekstra [1] proposed a procedure for the estimation of the numerical uncertainty of CFD calculations based on the least squares root (LSR) method. We believe that the LSR method has potential value for providing an extended Richardson-extrapolation solution verification procedure for mixed monotonic and oscillatory or only oscillatory convergent solutions (based on the usual systematic...

Biological fluids fulfill key functionalities such as hydrating, protecting, and nourishing cells and tissues in various organ systems. They are capable of these versatile tasks owing to their distinct structural and viscoelastic properties. Characterizing the viscoelastic properties of bio-fluids is of pivotal importance for monitoring the development of certain pathologies as well as engineer...

Changing power system configuration may result in load shed recovery (LSR) because topology change can provide flow control meshed network. Some topologies favor generation redispatch as compared to others and eliminate line congestion which leads LSR. One of the known methods for is called transmission switching (TS) research conducted past showed that TS an effective means mitigating shedding...
