Water immersion alters the autonomic nervous system (ANS) response in humans. The effect of water immersion on executive function and ANS responses related to executive function tasks was unknown. Therefore, this study aimed to determine whether water immersion alters ANS response during executive tasks. Fourteen healthy participants performed color-word-matching Stroop tasks before and after n...

In this paper, we describe The Rooms – a horror game that uses projected augmented reality to enable a new type of immersive gaming experience. Interviews and questionnaires from 20 players of the game showed that projected augmented reality games can support immersion and can avoid the problem of nausea that VR experiences can invoke. However, since players experienced different types of immer...

This paper looks at the nature of second language immersion learning and instruction through the lens of situated learning theory. This theory has strong relevance for language immersion practice and research. An emerging research program is introduced that is focused on the overlap of immersion learning and situated learning theory, and an initial study is discussed that explored how learners ...

The role of aldosterone suppression in mediating the natriuresis of water immersion was assessed in six normal male subjects. All subjects were studied on four occasions while they were in balance on a diet containing 150 mEq of sodium and 100 mEq of potassium daily: during a control period, following deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA) treatment for 24 hours (Cont+ DOCA), during water immersion...

The article under consideration shows that in the modern world of communication and educational needs an text performs several functions at same time: developing socio-cultural competence student which its turn ensures immersion learning a foreign language social cultural environment. study as vector formation intercultural makes it possible to analyze these other important based on material te...

To examine how repeated cooling of fingers with a rest pause schedule at work affects cold-induced vasodilatation (CIVD), pain and cold sensation in fingers, six healthy men aged 21 to 23 years immersed their left index fingers six times in stirred water at 10 degrees C for 10 minutes. After each cold-water immersion of the fingers, 5-minute rest pause was taken to observe the recovery process ...

The present research project attempts to improve the English vocabulary knowledge of forty-nine Tenth Graders at Unidad Educativa "UPSE" by creating and proposing a Didactic Guide focused on what Immersion Method establishes. In educational setting, immersion aims using target language as medium instruction academic, cultural, subject content that supports learners be highly involved in lessons...

A theory of diffraction-limited spot size is developed for infinity-corrected microscope optics. Previously reported formulae were originally derived using a single-lens system. In addition, the previously reported relationship between f -number and numerical aperture assumed a paraxial approximation and was limited to air-immersion lenses. Here, a new relationship between f -number and numeric...

Dual-language immersion programs have received a great deal of attention from parents, researchers, and policymakers. The supporters of dual-language immersion see the promise ofprovidingfirst-language instruction for children with nonEnglish-speaking backgrounds, while simultaneously offering monolingual children access to non-English languages. In this article, Guadalupe Vaidés concentrates o...
