This study compared the efficacy of buprenorphine, carprofen, and a combination of the 2 analgesics in female baboons. Physiologic and behavioral parameters were assessed at baseline and postoperatively for 6 d by use of continuous noninvasive physiologic monitoring and twice-daily videotaping. Prior to surgery, all animals received a pre-emptive dose of either 0.01 mg/kg buprenorphine intramus...

This case study is about an adult Japanese learner’s second language learning through her teacher’s recasts in an EFL classroom in Japan. We first examined by videotaping the class how recasts were provided in the theme-based EFL classroom. Then we investigated the relationship between the student’s awarenessof recast feedback and her L2 learning. Stimulated recallinterviews were used to elicit...

Reviewing the literature on police-induced confessions, we identified suspect characteristics and interrogation tactics that influence confessions and their effects on juries. We concluded with a call for the mandatory electronic recording of interrogations and a consideration of other possible reforms. The preceding commentaries make important substantive points that can lead us forward-on the...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the change in performance and technique of the overarm throwing in elementary school girls through a practice using the standard motion model. Fifteen girls from sixth grade were participated in three sessions: videotaping sessions at the preand post-practice and practice session. The throwing motions were videotaped with two high-speed cameras and a...

Inexpensive multimedia computers offer new possibilities for mixing video and computer images, videotaping these mixed images, and extracting quantitative data from videotape. In this paper we describe methods for mixing images from a video camera and a Macintosh computer display using chroma keying, and we describe a simple circuit for analog video mixing and frame-counting. We present three a...

This study reports a novel form of interference behaviour between the invasive wasp Vespula vulgaris and the New Zealand native ant Prolasius advenus. By videotaping interactions at bait stations, we found that wasps commonly remove ant competitors from food resources by picking up the workers in their mandibles, flying backward and dropping them unharmed some distance from the food. Both the f...

This paper presents a case study of an eight-year teaching experiences junior high school teacher conducting the concept map as a mathematical teaching and learning tool to enhance her professional knowledge. Data collection for the study included the subject’s interviews, classroom observations, the subjects' teacher professional development community discussion sessions, teaching videotaping,...

There is a significant amount of research on teacher knowledge for mathematics. In comparison, research on teacher knowledge for statistics is more scarce, especially research that has been conducted in the classroom and at the primary school level. This paper reports first on the methodology of such a study. The methodology included videotaping of a sequence of lessons that involved students i...

Recent studies have shown that people prefer to age in their familiar environments, thus guiding designers to provide a safe and functionally appropriate environment for ageing people, regardless of their physical conditions or limitations. Therefore, a participatory design model is proposed where human beings can improve their quality of life by promoting independence, as well as safety, useab...

The Central Park jogger case and other recent exonerations highlight the problem of wrongful convictions, 15% to 25% of which have contained confessions in evidence. Recent research suggests that actual innocence does not protect people across a sequence of pivotal decisions: (a) In preinterrogation interviews, investigators commit false-positive errors, presuming innocent suspects guilty; (b) ...
