Literature-Based Exploration: Efferent and Aeshtetic
<p>Efferent teaching asks the student to read for a predetermined answer, focusing on another person's ideas of the text's meaning. Aesthetic teaching allows for literature to be read and experienced as art through the reader's personal transaction with the text which focuses on one's own interest …

Evaluation of Efferent Unmasking Using Cortical Auditory-Evoked Potentials
… may be attributed to differences in the auditory efferent system among individuals. The auditory efferent system can potentially improve SNRs through Medial Olivocochlear Reflex (MOCR)-mediated unmasking, as supported by animal studies. Nevertheless, it is not clear to what extent the efferent …

Using otoacoustic emissions to evaluate efferent auditory function in humans
… and wide dynamic range. In humans the efferent system can be investigated non-invasively using otoacoustic emissions (OAEs). However, how OAEs can best be used to evaluate efferent function, the pitfalls associated with such measurements, as well as the relationship between OAEs and …

A Comparison of Aesthetic and Efferent Reading Strategies of College Students
… to investigate, compare, and document the use of efferent and aesthetic reading strategies, as used by both undergraduate and graduate college students enrolled in a course in developmental reading instruction. Twenty students were individually interviewed, each student attending two separate …

Investigation of the Function of the Olivocochlear Efferent Nerve Pathway in Humans
… The outer hair cells are also innervated by the efferent nerve pathway descending from the region of the brainstem surrounding the medial portion of the superior olivary complex, and called the medial olivocochlear pathway. Previous research has demonstrated that activation of this pathway is …

Role of the lateral olivocochlear efferent system in hearing : selective lesioning studies
… afferent auditory neurons in the cochlea receive efferent feedback via olivocochlear (OC) neurons originating in the brainstem's olivary complex. The OC system comprises 1) medial (M)OC neurons that decrease electromotility in outer hair cells, and 2) lateral (L)OC neurons that elicit slow …

Estrogen Receptor-Mediated Gene Expression in Cultured Epithelial Cells of Rat Efferent Ductules
… semen. Estrogen receptors are localized in the efferent ductules and the head of the epididymis. However, knowledge of estrogen effects in the male reproductive tract is limited. In some species, concentrations of estrogens in testicular fluid are higher than in blood. A recent study in estrogen …

A Functional Role of Estrogen in the Efferent Ductules of the Male Reproductive Tract
… examination of the role of estrogen in the efferent ductules (ED) of the male mouse reproductive tract at various biological levels. In spite of knowing the presence of high concentrations of estrogen and the existence of estrogen receptor (ER), ERalpha and ERbeta, in the male reproductive …

Otoacoustic emission (OAE)-based measurement of the functioning of the human cochlea and the efferent auditory system
… our understanding of cochlear mechanics and the efferent auditory system. OAE are sounds generated within<br/>normal cochlea either spontaneously or in response to stimulation. The ability to measure OAE non-invasively, objectively and quickly makes a powerful tool to probe cochlear mechanics. …

THE EFFECTS OF GASTRIC AND HOMEOSTATIC AUTONOMIC AFFERENT REFLEXES ON CARDIAC AUTONOMIC EFFERENT ACTIVITY IN HEALTHY HUMAN VOLUNTEERS
… afferent reflexes on cardiovascular autonomic efferent activity are regarded as a direct neural effect of the activation of gastric receptors which send afferent inputs to the central nervous system (CNS) to cause various cardiovascular changes (Van Orshoven et al., 2004; McHugh et al., 2010; …

The aesthetic and efferent pedagogical stances and perspectives of high school English teachers during the study of literature
… study designed to explore the aesthetic and efferent pedagogical stances and perspectives of 10 high school English teachers during the study of literature. Research was conducted during the spring semester of the 1999–2000 school year in four high schools in a Texas public school district. …

Characterization of the Epididymal Region of the Rooster
The epididymal region (rete testis, efferent ductules and epididymal duct) of the male reproductive tract is essential for the production of fertile sperm. Two diseases or dysfunctions of avian efferent ductules resulting in decreased fertility have been reported. Efferent ductules comprise the …

Slow modulation of cochlear response by the olivocochlear efferent system elicited by sustained noise or threshold elevation in the contralateral ear
… results from two projects related to the efferent innervation of the cochlea. First, we investigated peripheral olivocochlear effects of sustained contralateral broadband noise in anesthetized guinea pig. We found evidence of medial olivocochlear (MOC) effects on two timescales: the …
