Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We consider a model where two new scalars are introduced in the standard model, assuming classical scale invariance. In this model the scale invariance is broken by quantum corrections and one of the new scalars acquires non-zero vacuum expectation value (VEV), which induces the electroweak symmetry breaking in the standard model, and the other scalar becomes dark matter. It is shown that TeV scale dark matter is realized, independent of the value of the other scalar's VEV. The impact of the new scalars on the Higgs potential is also discussed. The Higgs potential is stabilized when the Higgs mass is over ~120 GeV.

description: Philodendron tuerckheimii Grayum (Fig. 7C) Material examined. Middle slopes on W side of Cerro Pirre; 07°56′N, 077°45′W; 800–1050 m; 29 Jun. 1988; T. B. Croat 68920 (MO).

Ibid., campamento cerca del segundo mirador; 07°59′43″N, 077°42′39″W; 708 m; 2 Dec. 2016; O. O. Ortiz 2703 (PMA). Identification. This species is characterized by its nomadic vine life form (ramified habit), short petioles (50% of the length of the lamina) with horizontally splayed petiole sheaths, reddish brown small blades (when dry) with few primary lateral veins (five to seven per side) and solitary inflorescences with a relatively long female portion. According to the observations made in the field, the specimens of Philodendron tuerckheimii collected on Cerro Pirre have unusual coriaceous blades. Grayum (1996) documented this variation and stated that the specimens of Cerro Pirre are characterized by having larger petioles with the unsheathed portion of the petiole relatively long (up to 0.8 cm) and comparatively larger blades. Probably, the populations of Cerro Pirre correspond to a new taxon, but it is necessary to document in detail the morphological variations of these populations and to carry out additional collections. Distribution and ecology. Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, and Venezuela. According to the samplings, P. tuerckheimii ocurrs in the evergreen, submontane, and montane forests of Cerro Pirre; but it is more frequent throughout the montane cloud forest, located above 1100 m.

On non-stationary Lamé equation from WZW model and spin-1/2 XYZ chain

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We study the link between WZW model and the spin-1/2 XYZ chain. This is achieved by comparing the second-order differential equations from them. In the former case, the equation is the Ward-Takahashi identity satisfied by one-point toric conformal blocks. In the latter case, it arises from Baxter's TQ relation. We find that the dimension of the representation space w.r.t. the V-valued primary field in these conformal blocks gets mapped to the total number of chain sites. By doing so, Stroganov's "The Importance of being Odd" (cond-mat/0012035) can be consistently understood in terms of WZW model language. We first confirm this correspondence by taking a trigonometric limit of the XYZ chain. That eigenstates of the resultant two-body Sutherland model from Baxter's TQ relation can be obtained by deforming toric conformal blocks supports our proposal.

description: Background: Antibodies against glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) are associated with Stiff Person Syndrome (SPS). Case report: A 50-year-old woman presented with symptoms progressed over 9 years, resulting in a cerebellar ataxia and right upper limb tremor. Investigations revealed elevated serum and CSF anti-GAD antibody titres (98.6 and 53.4 μ/ml, respectively). Treatment included intravenous immunoglobulin and immunomodulation (infliximab and rituximab), improving her stiffness, but with no impact on the ataxia-related symptoms. Subsequent high-dose steroids led to diabetic ketoacidosis and unmasking of an insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. Discussion: This case illustrates several key features: (1) the combined clinical picture of SPS and cerebellar ataxia is a rare phenotype associated with anti-GAD antibodies; (2) the cerebellar ataxia described was progressive and poorly responsive to immunomodulatory therapy; and (3) the potential for development of further autoimmune sequelae in response to immunosuppression, namely, the development of insulin-dependent diabetes in response to treatment with high-dose oral steroids.

description: Background: The spinocerebellar ataxias (SCAs) are a group of autosomal dominant degenerative diseases characterized by cerebellar ataxia. Classified according to gene discovery, specific features of the SCAs – clinical, laboratorial, and neuroradiological (NR) – can facilitate establishing the diagnosis. The purpose of this study was to review the particular NR abnormalities in the main SCAs. Methods: We conducted a literature search on this topic. Results: The main NR characteristics of brain imaging (magnetic resonance imaging or computerized tomography) in SCAs were: (1) pure cerebellar atrophy; (2) cerebellar atrophy with other findings (e.g., pontine, olivopontocerebellar, spinal, cortical, or subcortical atrophy; “hot cross bun sign”, and demyelinating lesions); (3) selective cerebellar atrophy; (4) no cerebellar atrophy. Discussion: The main NR abnormalities in the commonest SCAs, are not pathognomonic of any specific genotype, but can be helpful in limiting the diagnostic options. We are progressing to a better understanding of the SCAs, not only genetically, but also pathologically; NR is helpful in the challenge of diagnosing the specific genotype of SCA.

description: The state of the spatially correlated down-converted photons is usually treated as a two-mode Gaussian entangled state. While intuitively this seems to be reasonable, it is known that new structures in the spatial distributions of these photons can be observed when the phase-matching conditions are properly taken into account. Here, we study how the variances of the near- and far-field conditional probabilities are affected by the phase-matching functions, and we analyze the role of the EPR-criterion regarding the non-Gaussianity and entanglement detection of the spatial two-photon state of spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC). Then we introduce a statistical measure, based on the negentropy of the joint distributions at the near- and far-field planes, which allows for the quantification of the non-Gaussianity of this state. This measure of non-Gaussianity requires only the measurement of the autocorrelation covariance sub-matrices, and will be relevant for new applications of the spatial correlation of SPDC in CV quantum information processing.

description: Supreme Court decisions over the last three-quarters of a century have turned the words of the Takings Clause into a secret code that only a momentary majority of the Court is able to understand. The Justices faithfully moor their opinions to the particular terms of the Fifth Amendment, but only by stretching the text beyond recognition. A better approach is to consider the purposes of the Takings Clause, efficiency and justice, and go anew from there. Such a method reveals that in some cases there are good reasons to require payment by the government when it regulates property, but not to insist upon compensation to each aggrieved property owner. In other cases, the opposite is true - compensation to individuals makes sense, but payment by the responsible government agency does not. Uncoupling efficiency and justice would invigorate the law of takings.

Case Report: Magnetoencephalography-coherence source imaging (MEG-CSI) was used to map connectivity between brain regions by imaging neuronal oscillations that are coherent across the brain in patient with ED at rest and while using the index finger to evoke dystonia normally triggered by playing the flute. Discussion: During rest, there was increased coherence in the bilateral frontal and parietal regions that became more focal during dystonia. Diffuse hyperexcitability and increased coherence persisted in bilateral parietal regions as well as the bilateral frontal regions.

description: Benford's law states that in data sets from different phenomena leading digits tend to be distributed logarithmically such that the numbers beginning with smaller digits occur more often than those with larger ones. Particularly, the law is known to hold for different types of financial data. The Illicit Financial Flows (IFFs) exiting the developing countries are frequently discussed as hidden resources which could have been otherwise properly utilized for their development. We investigate here the distribution of the leading digits in the recent data on estimates of IFFs to look for the existence of a pattern as predicted by Benford's law and establish that the frequency of occurrence of the leading digits in these estimates does closely follow the law.

description: We investigate the stability of noncomposite fractional vortex states in a mesoscopic two-band superconductor within the two-component Ginzburg-Landau model. Our analysis explicitly takes into account the relationship between the model parameters and microscopic material parameters, such as partial density of states, fermi velocities and elements of the electron-phonon coupling matrix. We have found that states with different phase winding number in each band (L1 not equal to L2) and fractional flux can exist in many different configurations, including rather unconventional ones where the dominating band carries larger winding number and states where |L1-L2| > 1. We present a detailed analysis of the stability of the observed vortex structures with respect to changing the microscopic parameters, showing that, in the weak coupling case, fractional vortex states can be assessed in essentially the whole range of temperatures and applied magnetic fields in which both bands are active. Finally, we propose an efficient way of increasing the range of parameters for which these fractional vortex states can be stabilized. In particular, our proposal allows for observation of fractional vortex structures in materials with stronger coupling, where those states are forbidden at a homogeneous field. This is accomplished with the help of the stray fields of a suitably prepared magnetic dot placed nearby the superconducting disk.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Since 1961, mean weight at age of Faroe saithe has fluctuated by a factor of two, the lowest mean weights at age coinciding with large stock sizes. One causal mechanism could be density dependence, where limited local food resources are being shared by the total stock. Another possibility is immigration of individuals from other areas that have experienced a different growth during their life. This may be related to the fact that the stock size of Faroe saithe fluctuates in much the same way as the combined stock size of saithe in Icelandic and Norwegian waters. At the same time, it is found that the stock size variations of Faroe saithe are very well correlated with the Subpolar gyre index, which is associated with food availability in the area. The Subpolar gyre index is controlled by climatic variations, which probably also affect migration of saithe. Stomach content analyses have been conducted twice annually on the Faroe Plateau since 1997, and here we use these and other data on saithe, to clarify whether density dependence explains the observed variations in mean weight at age.

U.S. housing projection : perceptives from population growth and demographic factors
Creators: name: Tsai, Arthur C.J.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Over the past century, population growth and favourable demographic factors have strongly influenced the U.S. housing market. Demographic factors such as age cohorts, race and ethnicity have formed longstanding housing trends and preferences. These demographic factors are expected to continue as the U.S. population increases over the next few years. In the U.S. West, the population is expected to increase the most compared to the rest of the country. As a result, this thesis examined six Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs) in the U.S. West and forecast housing demand in relation to the number of units of housing starts and the volume of construction lumber required to build these housing units. The population and demographic data from 2006 to 2015 for these six MSAs were analysed and results indicated cities with a large population base are expected to have higher housing starts demand and lumber consumption than cities with a smaller population base. Furthermore, different population age cohorts defined as Baby Boomers, Generation X and Generation Y will also affect housing preferences in terms of the size and type of the houses. Another key demographic trend is the mix in race and ethnicity, specifically with the high percentage of Hispanic population in the U.S. West. The Hispanics are the largest and fastest growing ethnic population in the U.S. West and are expected to be a major population segment influencing the future of the housing market.

description: Background: Dystonia is a heterogeneous hyperkinetic disorder. The anatomical location of the dystonia helps clinicians guide their evaluation and treatment plan. When dystonia involves masticatory, lingual, and pharyngeal muscles, it is referred to as oromandibular dystonia (OMD).

Methods: We identified patients diagnosed with OMD in a Movement Disorders Clinic and Laryngeal Movement Disorders Clinic from a single institution. Demographic, etiological, clinical, and therapeutic information was retrospectively reviewed for patients with jaw‐opening (O‐OMD) and jaw‐closing (C‐OMD) OMD.

Results: Twenty‐seven patients were included. Their average age of onset was in the sixth decade of life and there was a female predominance. Etiological factors linked in this study to OMD included a family history of dystonia or essential tremor, occupation, cerebellar disease, a dental disorder, and tardive syndrome. Clinically, patients with C‐OMD presented with more prominent feeding difficulties, but seemed to respond better to therapy than those with O‐OMD. In addition to the known benefits of botulinum toxin therapy, patients who described sensory tricks obtained benefit from the use of customized dental prosthesis.

Discussion: This works provides useful information on potential etiological factors for OMD and its response to therapy, and highlights the potential benefit of dental prosthesis for the treatment of OMD.

description: Despite ever-increasing material extraction on the global scale, very few studies have focused on the relationship between mining activities, overburden, and landfilling. This is mainly due to the lack of statistical data. Yet, large mining activities cause environmental strain to the natural environment, and are often cause of irreversible alterations to the natural landscape. To circumvent this problem, we develop a methodology that employs the digital elevation model and land cover to detect and analyze mining and landfilling site over time. We test our methodology with the case of Germany for the years 2000–2010. We then confront our results with statistically available data, to verify whether this methodology can be applied to other countries. Results from the analysis of satellite data give 15.3 Pg of extracted materials and 7.8 Pg of landfilled materials, while statistics report 29.4 Pg and 1.8 Pg, respectively. This large difference was likely due to the different frequency of recording, where satellite data was updated after 10 years, while statistics were reported yearly. The analysis of the anthropogenic disturbance with spatial information can effectively contribute to observe, analyze, and quantify mining activities, overburden, and landfills, and can thus provide policy makers with useful and practical information regarding resource usage and waste management.

description: Background: We investigated whether the characteristics of Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients differ based on the primary indication for deep brain stimulation (DBS). Methods: We reviewed data for 149 consecutive PD patients who underwent DBS at the University of Virginia. Patients were categorized based on primary surgical indication, and clinical characteristics were compared between groups. Results: Twenty-nine (93.5%) of 31 PD patients who underwent DBS for medication refractory tremor were men, and 66 (62.3%) of 106 PD patients who underwent DBS for motor fluctuations were men (p = 0.001). Other primary indications for DBS were tremor and fluctuations (n = 5), medication intolerance (n = 5), and dystonia (n = 2). Discussion: Patients who underwent DBS for medication refractory tremor were predominantly men, while patients who had DBS for motor fluctuations approximated the gender distribution of PD. Possible explanations are that men with PD are more likely to develop medication refractory tremor or undergo surgery for medication refractory tremor in PD compared to women.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The Canaries-African Coastal Transition Zone exhibits dynamic hydrography characterized by a variety of mesoscale structures generated from interactions among the Canary Current, coastal upwelled waters and activity in trade winds. The Canary Archipelago forms an obstacle to the Canary Current and generates additional mesoscale structures in the form of warm water wakes and cyclonic and anti-cyclonic eddies. These mesoscale structures influence transport processes of plankton resulting in marked variability in the species composition, abundance and distribution of larval fish. In this work, we review the findings of studies conducted in the vicinity of Gran Canaria Island and focus on processes influencing intra- and interannual variability in the ichthyoplankton assemblage. Clupeoid species (mainly sardine and anchovy) appear to be good tracers of upwelling filaments generated in the Cape Juby-Cape Bojador area. Larvae transported by filaments may return to the African coast via entrainment within the quasi-permanent cyclonic eddy trapped between the islands of Gran Canaria and Fuerteventura, and the African shelf. On the other hand, these larvae may simply disperse offshore, often reaching the easternmost islands of the Canary Archipelago within unknown consequences for habitat connectivity and life cycle closure. During the last two decades, larvae of round sardinella have increased compared to sardine and anchovy in the Canary region. This shift documented in Gran Canaria coincides with larger-scale (European-wide) shifts in clupeid fish assemblages related to climate-driven changes in atmosphere-ocean coupling.
Self-Similar Dynamical Relaxation of Dark Matter Halos in an Expanding Universe

description: We investigate the structure of cold dark matter halos using advanced models of spherical collapse and accretion in an expanding Universe. These base on solving time-dependent equations for the moments of the phase-space distribution function in the fluid approximation; our approach includes non-radial random motions, and most importantly, an advanced treatment of both dynamical relaxation effects that takes place in the infalling matter: phase-mixing associated to shell crossing, and collective collisions related to physical clumpiness. We find self-similar solutions for the spherically-averaged profiles of mass density rho(r), pseudo phase-space density Q(r) and anisotropy parameter beta(r). These profiles agree with the outcomes of state-of-the-art N-body simulations in the radial range currently probed by the latter; at smaller radii, we provide specific predictions. In the perspective provided by our self-similar solutions we link the halo structure to its two-stage growth history, and propose the following picture. During the early fast collapse of the inner region dominated by a few merging clumps, efficient dynamical relaxation plays a key role in producing a closely universal mass density and pseudo phase-space density profiles; in particular, these are found to depend only weakly on the detailed shape of the initial perturbation and the related collapse times. The subsequent inside-out growth of the outer regions feeds on the slow accretion of many small clumps and diffuse matter; thus the outskirts are only mildly affected by dynamical relaxation but are more sensitive to asymmetries and cosmological variance.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.We document the spatial patterns found in the Barents Sea fish community in relation to environmental parameters, analysing data from the ecosystem surveys covering the Norwegian part of the Barents Sea during 2004‐2008 and comparing with earlier investigations of the deeper areas from the period 1992‐2004. Changes in the ecosystem, expected on the basis of changing climate and harvest regimes may often go undetected due to strong focus on oceanography and commercial species of monitoring programs. Fish species that are not targeted by fishery are included in the analyses, providing valuable, additional ecological information on structural alterations. We identified species assemblages associated with different water masses and range of productivity of sea areas. Major changes in the structure of the fish community occur in this previously thought healthy, resilient and well‐managed large marine ecosystem. The spatio‐temporal analyses of the Barents Sea survey data from this decade shows that a new fish community structure is in place compared to the general community structure of the previous decades. An ecological regime shift in the 90‐ies might be speculated. The change is concurrent with a climatic regime shift and may be persistent.

Rhodospatha moritziana is distinguished by having terrestrial habit, short internodes, relatively broad blades and inflorescences with whitish spathes, and uniform spadices with naked bisexual flowers. So far, R. moritziana is the only species with consistent terrestrial habit of the genus in Panama. Due to its terrestrial habit, it is possible to confuse the individuals of R. moritziana with those of the genus Spathiphyllum. On Cerro Pirre, R. moritziana differs from all species of Spathiphyllum by having reddish-punctate blades on the lower surface, with numerous primary lateral veins. Distribution and ecology. Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Panama, Peru, and Venezuela. In the study site, this species ocurrs along semideciduous and evergreen forests, between 90 and 800 m. It usually grows in shaded areas with semi-flooded soils, near the banks of rivers and streams.

description: Basella alba is a fast-growing succulent perennial runner of family Basellaceae with significant medicinal properties. Basella alba exhibited significant free radical scavenging activity and cytotoxic effects against MCF7 cells line with IC5026.842 ± 0.29 µg/ml and standard doxorubicin exhibited IC5011.5 ± 0.48 µg/ml. It showed the inhibition of COX2 enzyme by reducing the production of prostaglandins with IC50 11.5 ± 048 µg/ml and standard acetylsalicylic acid exhibited IC5018.125土0.22 µg/ml. Biological databases were accessed to identify phytocompounds and the ADME properties of bioactive compounds were analyzed to determine potential drug-like molecules. STRING and KEGG tools were utilized to investigate therapeutically active protein targets and their involvement in breast cancer pathways. From PPI interaction, core genes with maximum node degree were selected to build biological networks. Highly interacted nodes, phytocompounds, and protein targets were selected for virtual screening. Selection was made to study MMP9 and AKT1 protein targets owing to their involvement in progression and metastasis of cancer. Quercetin demonstrated strongest binding affinity with MMP9, with binding energy of −46.278 ± 15.982 kJ/mol while doxorubicin showed −8 kcal/mol. Betacarotene with AKT1 showed binding energy of −58.626 ± 18.709 kJ/mol while doxorubicin showed −9 kcal/mol. Molecular dynamics and simulation of these complexes showed significant fluctuations indicating stable configuration.

description: As it becomes increasingly apparent that nonverbal conduct plays an integral role in pedagogical interactions (McCafferty & Stam, 2008; Zwiers, 2007), researchers who study interaction in situ are shifting focus from solely talk toward a multimodal approach (Lazaraton, 2004; Olsher, 2004; Seo & Koshik, 2010; Taylor, 2014). From this body of research, a finding of particular interest is that teachers use nonverbal resources to manage logistics in the classroom. For example, Kääntä (2010) found that teachers allocate turns to students by obtaining mutual gaze followed by nodding. Furthermore, Cekaite (2015) found that teachers use sustained touch to get students to comply with verbal directives. This paper contributes to the growing body of research on nonverbal conduct in pedagogical interaction by examining the multimodal resources used by an English as a Second Language (ESL) tutor to manage a young student’s participation in a one-on-one interaction.
Strong biases in infrared-selected gravitational lenses

description: Bright submm-selected galaxies have been found to be a rich source of strong gravitational lenses. However, strong gravitational lensing of extended sources leads inevitably to differential magnification. In this paper I quantify the effect of differential magnification on simulated far-infrared and submm surveys of strong gravitational lenses, using a foreground population of Navarro-Frenk-White plus de Vaucouleurs' density profiles, with a model source resembling the Cosmic Eyelash and QSO J1148+5251. Some emission line diagnostics are surprisingly unaffected by differential magnification effects: for example, the bolometric fractions of [C II] 158um and CO(J=1-0), often used to infer densities and ionisation parameters, have typical differential magnification effects that are smaller than the measurement errors. However, the CO ladder itself is significantly affected. Far-infrared lensed galaxy surveys (e.g. at 60um) strongly select for high-redshift galaxies with caustics close to AGN, boosting the apparent bolometric contribution of AGN. The lens configuration of IRAS F10214+4724 is naturally explained in this context. Conversely, submm/mm-wave surveys (e.g. 500-1400um) strongly select for caustics close to knots of star formation boosting the latter's bolometric fraction. In general, estimates of bolometric fractions from spectral energy distributions of strongly lensed infrared galaxies are so unreliable as to be useless, unless a lens mass model is available to correct for differential magnification.

description: Isospin violating hadronic decays of the ηand η' mesons into 3πmesons are driven by a term in the QCD Lagrangian proportional to the mass difference of the d and u quarks. The source giving large yield of the mesons for such decay studies are pp interactions close to the respective kinematical thresholds. The most important physics background for η,η'\toπππis coming from direct three pion production reactions. In case of the ηmeson the background for the decays is relatively low (approx 10%). The purpose of this article is to provide an estimate of the direct pion production background for the η'\to 3πdecays. Using the inclusive data from COSY-11 experiment we have extracted differential cross section for the pp\to pp-multipion production reactions with the invariant mass of the pions equal to the η' meson mass and estimated an upper limit for the signal to background ratio for studies of the η'\toπ^+π^-π^0 decay.

description: Background: Orthostatic tremor (OT) is a rare symmetric tremor disorder occasionally observed in association with other movement disorders. Case report: We report the presence of a fast OT in a case of Parkinson’s disease (PD), and provide a comprehensive review of the literature. Discussion: A fast OT presenting as unsteadiness may be a presenting symptom of PD. This symptom may be nonresponsive to levodopa, and benzodiazepines should be prescribed to adequately control the OT and reduce disability.
Simulation study of the impact of AGIPD design choices on X-ray Photon Correlation Spectroscopy utilizing the intensity autocorrelation technique

description: The European XFEL, currently under construction, will produce a coherent X-ray pulse every 222 ns in pulse trains of up to 2700 pulses. In conjunction with the fast 2D area detectors currently under development, it will be possible to perform X-ray Photon Correlation Spectroscopy (XPCS) experiments on sub-microsecond timescales with non-ergodic systems. A case study for the Adaptive Gain Integrating Pixel Detector (AGIPD) at the European XFEL employing the intensity autocorrelation technique was performed using the detector simulation tool HORUS. As optimum results from XPCS experiments are obtained when the pixel size approximates the (small) speckle size, the presented study compares the AGIPD (pixel size of (200 $\upmu$m)$^2$) to a possible apertured version of the detector and to a hypothetical system with (100 $\upmu$m)$^2$ pixel size and investigates the influence of intensity fluctuations and incoherent noise on the quality of the acquired data. The intuitive conclusion that aperturing is not beneficial as data is 'thrown away' was proven to be correct for low intensities. For intensities larger than approximately 1 photon per (100 $\upmu$m)$^2$ aperturing was found to be beneficial, as charge sharing effects were excluded by it. It was shown that for the investigated case (100 $\upmu$m)$^2$ pixels produced significantly better results than (200 $\upmu$m)$^2$ pixels when the average intensity exceeded approximately 0.05 photons per (100 $\upmu$m)$^2$. Although the systems were quite different in design they varied in the signal to noise ratio only by a factor of 2-3, and even less in the relative error of the extracted correlation constants. However the dependence on intensity showed distinctively different features for the different systems.

description: In the assessment of aural skills of second language learners, the study of the inclusion of visual stimuli has almost exclusively been conducted in the context of listening assessment. While the inclusion of contextual information in test input has been advocated for by numerous researchers (Ockey, 2010), little has been said regarding the scoring of speaking tests, which also involves raters’ listening comprehension. This study is designed to identify the possible variation in the scoring of speaking test performance when the speech samples to be scored are presented in either audio-only or audio-visual format. A group of raters were first asked to score a set of audio-only speech samples from an achievement speaking test consisting of one monologic task through an online platform. Weeks later, they scored the same samples presented in audio-visual format. Scores from both scoring sessions were compared. Findings suggest that the inclusion of visual stimuli may not result in significant effects on assigned scores or internal consistency. Yet, given the raters’ reported preference of using the audio-visual format, the study results call for further exploration of the positive effects of delivery methods on rater effect.
