| 1 | Evaluation of auditory working memory in Bharatanatyam dancers显示文摘Background:Neuroplasticity is a phenomenon exhibited by our nervous system as an indicator of overall development and in response to training,injury/loss of particular function,treatment/drugs and as a result of stimulation from the surrounding environment.Objective:The aim of the current study was to assess the auditory working memory capacities in Bharatanatyam dancers.Method:The participants comprised fifty-four females with normal hearing sensitivity who belonged to two groups.Group-I consisted of 27 individuals who underwent formal training in Bharatanatyam for a minimum period of three years.Group-II consisted of the age-matched control group,consisting of 27individuals who were non-dancers.The auditory working memory tasks included arranging the English digits presented binaurally in forward,backward,ascending,and descending spans.The maximum values(for the length of sequence arranged),midpoint values(average score),and response time for each task were noted down and compared among groups.Results:The scores were compared using the Mann-Whitney U test,which revealed enhanced working memory exhibited by dancers for maximum values and midpoint scores for all three tasks except ascending span.It was also noted that the dancers exhibited a shorter response time compared to nondancers for all the tasks except ascending span.Conclusion:The current study highlights an enhanced auditory working memory capacity in Bharatanatyam dancers,which could be perceived as evidence of neuroplastic changes induced in the auditory and motor cortex as a consequence of extensive stimulation for auditory processing abilities and motor planning resulting from long-term dance training and regular practice. | Praveen Prakash Anjana M.Nath Mereena Joy Prashanth Prabhu | 2022 | Journal of Otology2022，17，2： | 0 |
| 2 | 氧化钙对锆石和硅线石海滩砂反应烧结制备莫来石-氧化锆复合材料热力性能的影响(英文)显示文摘采用印度沿海锆石粉与硅线石海滩砂反应烧结,制备含20%(质量分数)氧化锆的莫来石-氧化锆复合材料。添加4%~12%(摩尔分数)的氧化钙作为添加剂。研究了添加剂对压实性能、显微组织、力学性能和热力性能的影响。添加氧化钙可以使压实温度从1600°C降低至1550°C。氧化钙可以形成少量的液相(铝硅酸钙),有利于烧结进行。添加4%氧化钙可使复合材料的晶粒尺寸减小,当添加量大于4%时,材料的晶粒尺寸随氧化钙添加量的增加而增大。添加4%氧化钙样品的弯曲强度约为225MPa,断裂韧度约为6MPa·m^(1/2),且抗热冲击性能得到明显提高。氧化钙可以稳定四方氧化锆,从而提高材料的力学性能。 | P.KUMAR M.NATH A.GHOSH H.S.TRIPATHI | 2016 | Transactions of Nonferrous Metals Society of China2016，26，9： | 0 |
