HYPOTHESIS Headmix and head registers use cricothyroid (CT) muscle dominant voicing, whereas chest and chestmix registers use thyroarytenoid (TA) muscle dominant voicing. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional study. METHODS CT and TA electromyographic data obtained from five untrained singers and two trained singers were analyzed to determine CT and TA muscle dominance as a function of register. Sim...

Citizen science projects have a long history in ecological studies. The research usefulness of such projects is dependent on applying simple and standardized methods. Here, we conducted a citizen science project that involved more than 3500 Swedish high school students to examine the temperature difference between surface water and the overlying air (Tw-Ta) as a proxy for sensible heat flux (QH...

Two studies examined the use of Think Aloud (TA) protocol as a means for collecting data of cognitive processes during performance in golf. In Study 1, TA was employed to examine if different verbalisation (Level 2 or Level 3 TA) instructions influence performance of high and low skilled golfers. Participants performed 30 putts using TA at either Levels 2, 3, or no verbalization condition. Alth...

Apple is one of the most important fruits in temperate zones with a long post-harvest life during cold storage. A factorial experiment, in a randomized completely block design was used to investigate the preharvest application of Iron (0, 500 and 1000 mg Fe-EDDHA per tree) and nitrogen (0, 48 and 96 g ammonium nitrate per tree( on some postharvest qualitative characteristics in "Red spur" and "...

La guerra de Successió va ser un conflicte bèl·lic però també propagandístic. Entre escriptura i oralitat, una les formes propagació més efectives missatges polítics van els contrafacta, textos dissenyats per cantar-se amb melodies preexistents. Aquests circulaven en forma fulls volanders o petits plecs, aquests objectes físics només s’hi reproduïen textos; tonades què es cantaven, àmpliament c...

In this work, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were employed to investigate the effects of duty cycle changes and utilization of tantalum nitride interlayer on the surface roughness and adhesion of Ta coating deposited by pulsed-DC plasma assisted chemical vapor deposition. To examine the simulation results, some selected deposition conditions were experimentally implemented and characterize...

PURPOSE This study aims to investigate the prevalence of the two known telomere maintenance mechanisms, telomerase activity (TA) and alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT), and to assess their prognostic relevance in diffuse malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (DMPM). EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN In 44 DMPM specimens obtained from 38 patients, TA was determined using the telomeric repeat amplificati...

Prokaryotic chromosomes code for toxin-antitoxin (TA) loci, often in multiple copies. In E.coli, experimental evidence indicates that TA loci are stress-response elements that help cells survive unfavorable growth conditions. The first gene in a TA operon codes for an antitoxin that combines with and neutralizes a regulatory 'toxin', encoded by the second gene. RelE and MazF toxins are regulato...

The aphase is rich in Ta. When the Ta concentration is less than 14%N, adoes not interfere with the slip mechanism; when the Ta concentration is more than 15%, ainterferes with the slip mechanism. The coherent at-Co 3Ta phase forms at Ta concentrations of less than 15%1, whereas incoherent 7-Co2Ta forms only at higher Ta concentrations. The interface between aand the matrix is an important fact...

Neotropical bats use torpor as a strategy to save energy when they experience a low energy intake and/or low ambient temperature (Ta). Digestive physiology limits the energy intake of several glossophaginid bats, and could play an important role in the onset of torpor in these tropical animals. We measured the effect that diet quality and Ta had on the use of torpor by the nectar-feeding bats G...
