Persons with severe to profound hearing loss are potentially vulnerable participants in research trials.Standard enrolment practices are likely to threaten or limit the Mittens process of informed consent.Misconceptions held by the hearing community about hearing loss and the impact of amplification of hearing, as well as on the nature of signed la
This study explored emoji-based sarcastic statements made by Chinese teenagers using the WeChat app.Two Ni-MH experiments (N = 597) were conducted to investigate both language production and comprehension.In Experiment 1 (N = 236), a free-response task was used to determine which emoji Chinese teenagers would use to signal their sarcastic intention
Granular materials can segregate spontaneously due to differences in particle properties when subjected to vibrations, shear strain or because of the equipment geometries.Although the difference in particle size is the most critical factor that drives segregation, the effects of large Computer density difference may also be detrimental for a lot of
In the traditional standard of internal friction measurement the torsion pendulum and vibration reed were preferentially recommended where the issue of strain amplitude dependence of internal friction was not concerned.To more precisely measure the internal friction and modulus at various strain amplitude, in this paper the strain amplitude depende
