A Comparison of Chimpanzee (Pan Troglodytes) Responses to Caregiver Use of Positive Reinforcement Training (PRT) and Species-Specific Behaviors (SSB)
… the effects of positive reinforcement training (PRT) and unstructured interactions (UI) on chimpanzee (<em>Pan troglodytes</em>) behavior. In the PRT condition, a caregiver interacted with a chimpanzee to condition behaviors for 10 min. In the UI condition, a caregiver interacted without PRT for …

Atrx Inactivation and Idh1-R132H Drive Preferential Sensitivity to Proton Vs. X-Ray Radiotherapy In Glioma Stem Cells
… therapy (XRT), proton radiation therapy (PRT) may induce more complex DNA damage and therefore might have the potential to eliminate GSCs. Although previous studies have individually linked IDH mutations, specifically IDH1<sup>R132H</sup>, and ATRX inactivating mutations to improved …

Fine Motor Skills, Processing Speed, And White Matter Integrity Among Pediatric Brain Tumor Survivors Who Received Proton Radiotherapy
… of life. In recent decades, proton radiotherapy (PRT) has been theorized as a less neurotoxic alternative to XRT. The advantages of PRT have been empirically supported through DTI and neurocognitive outcomes research. However, PRT potentially confers some neurocognitive risk, especially in the …

Effects of progressive resistance training on single myofiber calcium sensitivity in older women
… 12-week progressive resistance training program (PRT) on single myofiber calcium sensitivity in older women. Five healthy older women between the ages of 67-82 with a mean age of 72.8±2.7 yr. participated in this study. The training regimen consisted of bilateral isotonic knee extensions. The …

Vector occluders: an empirical approximation for rendering global illumination effects in real-time
… hardware of the day. Our work uses Sloan’s 2002 PRT method as a starting point, and builds on it with two new ideas. We first explore an alternative representation for PRT data. “Cpherical harmonics” (CH) are introduced as an alternative to spherical harmonics, by substituting the Chebyshev …

Comparison of Health Promotion Behaviors and Performance on the Navy Physical Readiness Test among Active Duty Shipboard Personnel with and without Anterior Knee Pain
… required, semi-annual physical readiness test (PRT). The purpose of this descriptive, comparative study was to compare the relationships among HPB, AKP and performance on the PRT between two groups of active duty Navy shipboard personnel (those with AKP and those without AKP). Pender's (1996) …

Attitude Formation & Persuasion Via Reactance: No, You Can't – Yes, I Can!
… gap in how psychological reactance theory (PRT; Brehm, 1966) is traditionally used in social psychological experiments. This study attempted to show that PRT can be used as a method to induce positive attitude formation. There is a need to understand how motivation to restore freedom (the …

Textured Hierarchical Precomputed Radiance Transfer
… In contrast, Precomputed Radiance Transfer (PRT) is a real-time computer graphics technique which pre-calculates an object's response to potential incident light. At run time, the actual incident light can be used to quickly illuminate the surface, rendering effects such as soft self-shadows …

Erwinia carotovora extracellular proteases: characterization and role in soft rot
… to (1) characterize Ecc extracellular protease (Prt) and (2) elucidate its role in potato soft rot. A gene encoding a Prt, <u>prt</u>1, was cloned from cosmid pCA7 containing Ecc genomic DNA into plasmid pSK1. <u>Escherichia coli</u> transformed with pSK1 or pSK23, a subclone of pSK1, produced …
