To What Extent Does Learning a Sign Language Orthography (SLO) Support Deaf Children’s Bi-literacy Development? An Investigation into the Relationship Between SLO Acquisition and British Sign Language and English Development.
… (SLO), through an original intervention based on BSLwrite, enhances the development of biliteracy in deaf children in both British Sign Language (BSL) and English. This study aimed to investigate the connection between the acquisition of SLO, the improvement of language skills and the engagement …

Arterial Baroreflex Regulation of Sympathetic Discharge During Maximal Voluntary End-Inspiratory Apnea
… AP discharge is preserved at baseline (BSL) levels but reset to higher levels of sympathetic outflow and greater BPs. The second hypothesis was that the relationship between sympathetic discharge and parameters of arterial stiffness will be maintained at BSL levels during maximum …

UNITED OR DIVIDED? A sociocultural study of conflict among British Sign Language users in the workplace
… interaction among British Sign Language (BSL) users in the workplace in this study. This research aims to explore Deaf and hearing BSL users’ experiences of working together, and to consider the causes of conflict among this group. The research identifies BSL users’ experiences in relation …

A revised conceptual model of the tropical marine boundary layer
… a single set. Clear-air Bragg scattering layers (BSLs) were common during RICO. An algorithm was developed to determine the location of BSL base and top altitudes, which were used to generate time-height diagrams. These revealed long-lived coherent structure. A statistical comparison of BSL …

Explaining the Variability of Free-Living and Attached Bacterioplankton Abundances in the Bay of St. Louis, Mississippi
<p>The Bay of St. Louis (BSL) is a shallow and vertically well-mixed estuary on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi and supports the recreational and commercial activities of the surrounding towns of Bay St. Louis, Diamondhead, DeLisle, and Pass Christian. In addition to residential communities, various …

Effects of Compressibility and Variable-Density on the Instability Growth within Buoyancy-Driven Shear Layers
… growth within buoyancy-driven shear layers (BSL), which share characteristics with the canonical Rayleigh-Taylor (RT/RTI) and Kelvin-Helmholtz (KH/KHI) instabilities. The 2D simulations are performed in a periodic domain, with alternating columns of high and low density fluids and neutral …

Particulate Deposition Prediction of Diluted Two-Phase Impinging Jet
… RANS SST (shear stress transport) and RANS RSM-BSL (Reynolds stress transport-Baseline) model were used to simulate the fluid phase in three cases of nozzle-to-surface distances of L/D = 2, 4 and 6. Also, to better understand the applicability and accuracy limits of different numerical methods …

Inclusion of Olive or Coconut Oil in a High-Fructose High-Fat Diet Increases Liver Injury in a Pig Model of Pediatric NAFLD
… lard + coconut oil (COC; n=10). Additional pigs (BSL, n=4) were fed a eucaloric diet to establish baseline values. Animals were euthanized at 85 d of age after blood sampling. Liver tissue was collected for histology, metabolomics, and transcriptomics. Compared with BSL, OLI decreased high-density …

Studying the biology of, and developing countermeasures to, a tick-transmitted hemorrhagic fever virus
… live CCHFV is restricted to biosafety level 4 (BSL-4) laboratories. This measure, while preserving biosafety, has hampered progress towards developing medical countermeasures. Recombinant vesicular stomatitis viruses (rVSV) expressing foreign glycoproteins have shown promise as both experimental …
