PURPOSE To determine whether Desired Sensation Level (DSL) v5 Noise is a viable hearing instrument prescriptive algorithm for children, in comparison with DSL v5 Quiet. In particular, the authors compared children's performance on measures of consonant recognition in quiet, sentence recognition in noise, and loudness perception when fitted with DSL v5 Quiet and Noise. METHOD Eleven children (...

We conducted a study of a little known class of eruptive events on the quiet sun. 61 small-scale eruptive filamentary structures were identified in a systematic survey of 32 days of Ha time-lapse films of the quiet sun acquired at Big Bear Solar Observatory. When fully developed, these structures have an average length of 15 arc seconds before eruption. They appear to be the small-scale analog ...

Whereas just 50% of the general population is extroverted, 96% of managers and executives display extroverted personalities. And the higher you go in a corporate hierarchy, the more likely you are to find highly extroverted individuals. The chart below, based on a 2009 study of 4,000 managers across U.S. industries, shows the percentage of managers at each level who display high levels of extro...

We present new quantitative measurements of magnetic fields on the quiet Sun. The object was (a) to measure magnetic field strengths, and (b) to test the “kilogauss model,” which posits that the apparently weak fields are actually subtelescopic knots of kilogauss fields with small filling factors. We used a new arrangement we call the spectro-videomagnetograph (SPVMG), which applies the videoma...
