'Legacy publication of a 2009 validation of the Riester Big Ben Square Desk aneroid device for blood pressure measurement according to the European Society of Hypertension International Protocol for validation of blood pressure measuring devices in adults (2002)'.

Objective: To report a validation of the Riester Big Ben Square Desk Aneroid Sphygmomanometer according to the international protocol developed by the Working Group on Blood Pressure Monitoring of the European Society of Hypertension 2002 (ESH-IP 2002) in the interest of transparency. This legacy publication is intended to assure users that the device satisfied the requirements in place at that time.

Methods: Performance of the device was assessed by participants' age, sex, arm circumference and entry SBP/DBP.

System and modelling errors in motion analysis: implications for the measurement of the elbow angle in cricket bowling.

The system and modelling errors of two fundamentally different motion capture systems (opto-reflective vs. video-based) were tested under various conditions, to determine their ability to accurately measure flexion-extension of the elbow angle in cricket bowling. A mechanical arm was used for all testing, that enabled known elbow flexion-extension and abduction ("carry") angles to be manually set.

Can the Emotion Recognition Ability of Deaf Children be Enhanced? A Pilot Study.

We evaluated the effectiveness of an 11-lesson psychoeducational program designed to enhance the ability of deaf children to understand the emotional experience of themselves and other people. The "Funny Faces Program" was provided to 14 children, aged 9 to 13, with moderate to profound hearing impairments. All children were enrolled in an "oral" education program at a school for the deaf.
