inorganic lead compounds are used most widely in paint and pigment industries. because of exposure to lead dust in workers in a copying center, we compared blood lead levels in these workers to normal individuals and investigated the relationship between job tenures of the workers and their blood lead levels. this survey was performed on 20 simple workers in a copying center of tehran universit...

The Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure Test (RCFT) is widely used to measure visuoperceptual and visuoconstructional skills, while the Line Bisection (LB) test is commonly employed to assess unilateral spatial neglect (USN). Previous studies have suggested that Alzheimer's disease (AD) patients may suffer from left USN. Objectives The purpose of this study was to clarify whether left USN occurs in...

The ways in which parent-child interactions can encourage the development of emergent literacy skills in young children remains to be fully explored. The present report describes how one parent scaffolded her young child’s emergent writing and letter knowledge in the home. Environmental print provided many rich and meaningful examples for the parent to show that print conveys meaning and is con...

The attentional demands of drawing require both local processing an object’s details and global its overall structure. In this study, we examined the extent to which artists have superior skills, how these skills relate artists’ ability draw realistically autistic-related traits, whether initially take a or approach drawing. Forty first-year college art students 41 nonart completed two tasks as...

Writing is a complex task that requires the integration of multiple cognitive, linguistic, and motor abilities. Until now, only a few studies investigated writing abilities in individuals with Intellectual Disability (ID). The aim of the present exploratory study was to provide knowledge on the organization of writing in two populations with ID, Down syndrome (DS) and Williams syndrome (WS), tr...

A traditional movement step relates a single source position to a single c-commanding target position, and never moves an argument to another argument position. But head movement involves non-c-command relations, and control relates two argument positions that are not always in a c-command relation. Special mechanisms could be invoked for these things, but a different strategy slightly generali...

In object oriented programming, it is sometimes necessary to copy objects and to compare them for equality or inequality. We discuss some of the issues involved in copying and comparing objects and we address the problem of generating appropriate copying and comparing operations automatically, a service that is not provided by most object oriented languages and environments. Automatic generatio...
