The error-related negativity (ERN) is a negative deflection in the event-related potential (ERP) following an erroneous response and is thought to reflect activity of the anterior cingulate cortex. There is accumulating evidence that the component has trait-like properties; prior evidence further suggests test-retest reliability estimates ranging from .40 to .82 over a period of 2 to 6 weeks. T...

Regression testing is an important but expensive software maintenance activity aimed at providing con-dence in modiied software. Selective retest methods reduce the cost of regression testing by selecting tests for a modiied program from a previously existing test suite. Many researchers have addressed the selective retest problem for procedural-language software, but few have addressed the pro...

This study investigated test-retest reliability of sensor-based sit-to-stand (STS) peak power and other STS measures in young and older adults. In addition, test-retest reliability of the sensor method was compared to test-retest reliability of the Timed Up and Go Test (TUGT) and Five-Times-Sit-to-Stand Test (FTSST) in older adults. Ten healthy young female adults (20-23 years) and 31 older adu...

Functional brain imaging targeting the presynaptic dopamine nerve terminal of the nigrostriatal system has been used for monitoring disease progression and evaluating therapeutic effectiveness in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD). 99mTc-TRODAT-1 binds with high selectivity to the dopamine transporters in the striatum and can be imaged with SPECT 4 h after injection. We studied the test and...

BACKGROUND Research has identified stigmatization as a major threat to successful treatment of individuals with mental illness. As a consequence several anti-stigma campaigns have been carried out. The results have been discouraging and the field suffers from lack of evidence about interventions that work. There are few reports on psychometric data for instruments used to assess stigma, which t...
