The purpose of this study is to introduce an activity which has been designed in accordance with Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics (STEM) education within the scope of 5E learning model and to present the implementation steps of it. The activity plan is on the topics of Nerves, Hormones and Homeostasis in Human Physiology Unit in 11th…

The differential results obtained when the perceived exertion levels of 19 high-fit and 17 low-fit women were assessed according to Borg's Rating of Perceived Exertion Scale and magnitude estimation suggests that the RPE scaling procedures may be tapping a very select component of the perceptual process. These results do indicate that the scaling…

Tests are described that were given to 1,000 students randomly selected at grade 7-9 levels with an equal representation from both sexes. Participants were selected from two junior high schools in North York for a study comparing students in a regular physical education program to those in a program to develop cardiovascular endurance. The first…

A simultaneous EPG/EMA study of tongue gestures of five speakers was conducted to investigate the kinematic events accompanying alveolar stop reductions in the context of a velar plosive /k/ and in the context of a laryngeal fricative /h/ in two languages, English and German. No systematic language differences could be detected. Alveolar…

The tongue is a deformable object, and moves by compressing or expanding local functional segments. For any single phoneme, these functional tongue segments may move in similar or opposite directions, and may reach target maximum synchronously or not. This paper will discuss the independence of five proposed segments in the production of speech.…

The Association of American Medical Colleges conducted a survey by means of a questionnaire in 1970-71 to determine the salaries of medical school faculties. Ninety-three schools submitted returns; salaries for 4,366 basic scientists and 12,701 clinical scientists are reported. The areas covered include strict full-time faculty by department, and…

The Association of American Medical Colleges presents the results of their Annual Salary Questionnaire for medical school faculties for the fiscal year 1972-73. One hundred five schools submitted returns and salaries of 4,925 basic scientists and 11,567 clinical scientists are reported in the survey. The areas covered include strict full-time…

Ninety-five schools submitted returns and salaries of 4,930 basic scientists and 11,941 clinical scientists are reported in the survey. The areas covered include strict full-time faculty…

Reports results of a survey of departments of physiology in private and public medical and nonmedical schools (N=98). Includes information on faculty, positions, graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, funding, and salaries. (DC)

Reported are the results of a survey concerning various aspects of departmental operations. Included are faculty characteristics, research grants, departmental budgets, teaching space, numbers of applicants, recruits and graduates, test scores of accepted students, and training support. (CW)

Presents the full questionnaire sent to chairmen of physiology departments, with statistical data (grand totals and means per department) provided for each item on the questionnaire. Includes histograms of faculty salaries and data on departmental budgets and space. (JN)

Presented results from the annual survey of physiology department chairpersons on: faculty characteristics (degrees held, tenured/not tenured, unfilled positions); graduate students and postdoctoral fellows; training support; trainee characteristics (race, research area); faculty salaries (various levels, medical/nonmedical); and budgets. (DH)

The administrative structures that provide graduate neuroscience training at doctorate-granting institutions were studied, along with the number of faculty, research doctorates, graduate students, and postdoctorate trainees in neuroscience programs. Attention was also directed to the opinions of neuroscience experts regarding employment, training,…

Reports findings from the 1986 annual survey of activities of university departments of physiology in the United States and Canada. Presents data on faculty numbers and salaries, pre- and postdoctoral trainees, training support, and research grants. Also includes membership statistics of the American Physiological Society. (ML)

Q-type factor analysis was used to re-analyze baseline data collected in 1957, on 47 men aged 65-91. Q-type analysis is the use of factor methods to study persons rather than tests. Although 550 variables were originally studied involving psychiatry, medicine, cerebral metabolism and chemistry, personality, audiometry, dichotic and diotic memory,…
