The impact of high stakes oral performance assessment on students’ approaches to learning: a case study by Paola Iannone, Christoph Czichowsky, Johannes Ruf

“…We found that students perceived the assessment to require conceptual understanding over memory and were more likely to employ revision strategies conducive to deep learning (akin to conceptual understanding) when preparing for the oral performance assessment than when preparing for a written exam. …”

Preliminary investigation into the effects of a compressor rim purge flow on OGV/pre-diffuser and combustion system aerodynamics by Duncan Walker, Bharat R. Koli, Peter Beecroft

“…However, it is envisaged that the compressor delivery air will soon reach temperatures which mean they may require similar cooling strategies to the turbine. One such concept is akin to that of a turbine 'rim purge flow which ensures that hot, mainstream flow does not get ingested into rotor cavities. …”

Oculomotor and inhibitory control in dyslexia by Thom Wilcockson, Diako Mardanbegi, Peter Sawyer, Hans Gellersen, Baiqiang Xia, Trevor J. Crawford

“…Therefore, in this work we examined two forms of oculomotor inhibition and two forms of oculomotor interference at high and low levels of the control system. This study employed a prosaccade, antisaccade, and a recent distractor eye movement task (akin to a spatial negative priming) in order to explore high level cognitive control and the inhibition of a competing distractor. …”

Effects of cognitive distraction on the regulation of human eating behaviour by Gemma L. Witcomb

“…In Part II, four experiments investigate the possibility that the mechanism underlying the relationship between attention and intake is related to a process akin to ‘sensory-specific satiety’. This term describes the hedonic shift in the sensory properties of a food that occur as it is eaten and which is believed to be important in meal termination. …”

Fractal dimensions and their relationship to filtration characteristics by S.T.H. Brock

“…Results from the simulations show that both the physical and fractal properties of the resulting structures varied with the parameters used to construct them. As a rule, as the particles in the simulations were able to move in a more diffusive manner (akin to Brownian motion), the agglomerates they formed had a more open, rugged structure. …”
