Current cochlear implant technology allows many device recipients to perform very well in tests of speech recognition and to function normally in daily life. However, cochlear implantees have displayed a wide range of scores in tests evaluating speech perception abilities [12,13]. One potential source of variation in speech perception abilities is deviation from the assumptions about how cochlear implants transmit speech information under ideal conditions. In any particular cochlear implant patient, researchers and clinicians cannot be certain about the number of surviving spiral ganglion or how the... 

The OECD discusses four important concepts feedback, perception, ability and motivation. An even more important concept than ability would be opportunity, as opportunity would be the entity that allows the occurrence of behavioural adaptation and which justifies the rephrasing of the OECD definition, which is elaborated and chosen as the main objective of the present book ...

This relation is only valid for small Ad and small lateral extensions. The influence of the inherent unsharpness is not taken into consideration and besides this the ability of the human eye to integrate over an area for noise reduction is not considered, which would have positive effects on the perception oflarge or longish flaws (or wires). 

The reasons Strike wrote this book. The reasons you re reading this book. Ecstasy is the most benign drug Strike has ever encountered. It is passive yet powerful. By powerful Strike does not mean that it incapacitates or makes one dangerous. It is, in fact, quite the opposite. Its power is in its ability to evoke a total sensory bath of tactile, visual and mental enhancement. One s perception is perfectly clear. Hallucinations are nonexistent. The feeling one has is, literally, ecstasy. Plus, it is one of the few narcotics in the world that is not physically addictive. Why this substance was taken away from the people is a question that only government-funded scientists can answer. 

As time passed, the balance of Stacey s interests changed He became less involved with the close direction of research and more with administration. Moreover, his chemical work had become far too wide for him to have a detailed knowledge of all of it. He retained his strategic foresight and, always, could advise how best to develop a project. He had an ability to join forces with and motivate his colleagues, who carried forward the detailed work. Also, he was able to recall, with uncanny accuracy and perception, the ability and character of each of the many collaborators, with whom he had been associated during his career. 

According to a study conducted by Allen et al. (2000), mentors (both male and female) are biased towards selecting mentees based on their perceptions of the mentee s potential/ability rather than perceptions of his or her need for help. This means that the extent of a mentee s need for help is not as important a determinant in mentee selection as is his or her perceived potential to grow and develop. 

The importance of lipophilicity to bitterness has been well established, both directly and indirectly. The importance of partitioning effects in bitterness perception has been stressed by Rubin and coworkers, and Gardner demonstrated that the threshold concentration of bitter amino acids and peptides correlates very well with molecular connectivity (which is generally regarded as a steric parameter, but is correlated with the octanol-water partition coefficient ). Studies on the surface pressure in monolayers of lipids from bovine, circumvallate papillae also indicated that there is a very good correlation between the concentration of a bitter compound that is necessary in order to give an increase in the surface pressure with the taste threshold in humans. These results and the observations of others suggested that the ability of bitter compounds to penetrate cell membranes is an important factor in bitterness perception. 

In the preceding section, we presented principles of spectroscopy over the entire electromagnetic spectrum. The most important spectroscopic methods are those in the visible spectral region where food colorants can be perceived by the human eye. Human perception and the physical analysis of food colorants operate differently. The human perception with which we shall deal in Section 1.5 is difficult to normalize. However, the intention to standardize human color perception based on the abilities of most individuals led to a variety of protocols that regulate in detail how, with physical methods, human color perception can be simulated. In any case, a sophisticated instrumental set up is required. We present certain details related to optical spectroscopy here. For practical purposes, one must discriminate between measurements in the absorbance mode and those in the reflection mode. The latter mode is more important for direct measurement of colorants in food samples. To characterize pure or extracted food colorants the absorption mode should be used. 

The observations of fine motor problems in infants born to heroin addicts has also been described by Wilson et al., in 1973. She notes the discrepancy between the gross motor skills of the infants and fine motor abilities during the first year. Furthermore, in 1979, Wilson et al, described the development of preschool children between 3 and 6 years of age, born to heroin-addicted mothers. They performed poorer on measures of visual, tactile, and auditory perception, were more active, and had...
