Optophone design: optical-to-auditory vision substitution for the blind
… mappings. A theoretical performance test (TPT) is derived. Chapter 4 applies the TPT to the most obvious mapping, the cartesian piano transform. Chapter 5 applies the TPT to a mapping based on the cosine transform. Chapter 6 attempts to derive a mapping by principal component analysis, …

Practical application of the torrent permeability test method with the South African durability index approach
… (OPI) test and the Torrent Permeability Test (TPT) are widely recognized as reliable techniques for evaluating the gas permeability of concrete. Studies have demonstrated the sensitivity of these methods to various factors that affect the properties of hardened concrete. Recent research has …

Assessment of deaf children with neuropsychological measures
… With respect to the Tactual Performance Test (TPT), deaf children did slightly better than their matched hearing peers on TPT total time and location. In addition, Trails B and TPT location scores were the best multivariate composite of discriminators of deaf versus hearing performance. …

The functional role of the retromer complex in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease in Down syndrome
… hypothesize that retromer function improves with TPT-172 treatment, as levels of early endosome proteins decrease while autophagy and lysosomal proteins increase with treatment. Treatment of trisomic neurons with TPT-172 also led to reductions in the neuronal tau kinase CDK5 and its activator p25, …

Isoniazid preventative therapy penetrance at a community health centre in South Africa: a cross sectional study
… of patients are screened but do not receive TPT. The duration of ART increased the likelihood of a patient to receive IPT. However, patients recently started on ART are at higher risk of TB disease and will benefit greatly from IPT. Patients who were enrolled in the AC system had a higher IPT …
