Auditory Neurons in the Dorsal Cortex of the Inferior Colliculus: Responses to Contralateral Tone Bursts and Modulations by the Auditory Cortex
… curves. Both monotonic and non-monotonic rate-level functions were present in these neurons. ICd neurons displayed stimulus-specific adaptation by reducing the strength of firing during repetitive tone burst stimulation but restored their responses when the quality of sound was changed. …

Feature Topography and Sound Intensity Level Encoding in Primary Auditory Cortex
… the neocortex is implicated in regulating high-level brain phenomena, such as attention and perception, it is therefore important in regards to these high-level behaviors to understand how sounds are represented and transformed by neuronal circuits in this area. The topographic organization of …

Memory for Bizarre Imagery: A Storage-Retrieval Analysis
… vs. unmixed lists, list length, presentation rate, level of association, and sentence complexity. Various hypotheses were developed regarding how these variables affect storage and retrieval processes. The validity of the multinomial models was determined by examining the influence that the …

Dorsal Cochlear Nucleus Output Neurons in Young and Aged Rats
… displayed significantly higher maximum discharge rates to characteristic frequency (CF) tones, fewer nonmonotonic CF rate-level functions and more wide-chopper type post-stimulus time histograms (PSTHs) when compared to neurons from young adult rats. These findings were consistent with an …

Perceived factors influencing participation in workplace sports and recreation among non-medical staff members at Elim Hospital, Vhembe District
… health of individuals and increased productivity levels at work places. Despite the health benefits of sports and recreation and the approval of the workplace sports and recreation policy in the Limpopo Department of Health, many employees still do not participate, even when invited for games. The …

"""White Noise"" Non-Linear Analysis of Inferior Colliculus Neural Responses in the Little Brown Bat, Myotis Lucifugus"
… properties such as latency, threshold, and rate-level function could all be derived at the same time; these responses were generally comparable to those determined using standard methods. In addition, other measures were only possible because of these new techniques. The flat autocorrelation …

Cochlear neuropathy : detection using envelope following responses and Impacts on central auditory coding
… vulnerable link in the auditory pathway: moderate noise exposure can cause loss of AN fibers without causing hair cell damage or permanent threshold shift. This neuropathy is undetectable by standard clinical examination, but post-mortem evidence suggests that it is widespread in humans. Its …

The use of simple analytical techniques to assess surface oxidation of sulphide ores
… may be possible to quantitatively correlate the rate/level of oxidation to oxidized sulphide ores using simple surface analytical techniques. This, if done well, could eliminate the need for numerous mineralogical tests, saving both time and money. This study investigated the …

What is the Impact of Interest Rate Levels on Banks’ Openness to Risk?
… research paper deals with the impact of interest rate levels on banks’ openness to risk. There are several interest rates in the economy, which have different impacts of banks profit situations. This makes it necessary for banks to come up with the right strategy to ensure financial profitability. …

Another piece for the puzzle: Psychophysiological indicators of the absence of empathic responding in Factor I psychopathy
… whether psychophysiological measures (heart rate and skin conductance) would prove to be useful assessment tools for this task. Fifty boys, aged five years, from 22 different schools, participated in this study. They were pre-selected by their teachers to fit either into a group of …

Quantifying effects of aging across structures of the mouse auditory system, with in-vitro brain slice preparations
… imaging, and redox imaging, that the levels of inhibition and rate-level functions are altered in the auditory cortex with age and that these differences were not likely due to differences in brain slice health. We also found that the primary driver of this effect was chronological age …

Exchange rate volatility, employment and macroeconomic dynamics in South Africa
… focuses on the effects and causes of exchange rate volatility in South Africa. These issues are analysed in three stand-alone but related papers. The first paper (Chapter 2) investigates the impact of real exchange rate volatility on employment growth in the manufacturing sector. The study …
