PURPOSE To determine whether normal adults of good and poor reading ability exhibit different patterns of sensitivity to spatial frequency, as previously found between dyslexic and nondyslexic control subjects. METHODS The visual acuity, spatial frequency sensitivity, and reading ability of 96 normal, nondyslexic adults was assessed. Participants were ranked according to reading ability. The ...

background: escherichia coli (ecoli) has been considered as the most common agent of urinary tract infection in all regions. recently, increased drug resistance has been lead to some problems in treatment related diseases. so, evaluation of resistance patterns of bacteria in each region could be a valuable guide for empirical treatment. methods: all referred urine sample to kermanshah central l...

this research was performed to determine the efficiency effect of sedimentary environment of kerman city area on soil structure bycomparing natural and reconstituted consolidation curves. in this regard, four different criteria such as sensitivity strength, stresssensitivity, schmertman criteria and the result of the uniaxial compression test were used. the base of these criteria is to compare ...

Motion in depth results in radial optic-flow patterns. Forward motion results in radially expanding patterns, whereas backward motion generates contracting patterns. Radial optic-flow patterns are typically represented with a positive speed gradient, ie zero speed at the point of fixation, and maximum speed at the periphery. However, the actual speed profile in such a stimulus will depend upon ...

Background Social relationships and interactions are largely based on mutual affection, trust and appreciation, as with friendship formation (Simmel 1964). When social relationships are based on mutual benefit and exchange, affection, trust and appreciation may play a significant role in shaping the relationships within a group (Lawler et al. 2000, 2008; Lawler 2001).
