In order to examine whether children adjust their phonetic speech categories, children of two age groups, five-year-olds and eight-year-olds, were exposed to a video of a face saying /aba/ or /ada/ accompanied by an auditory ambiguous speech sound halfway between /b/ and /d/. The effect of exposure to these audiovisual stimuli was measured on subsequently delivered auditory-only speech identification trials. Results were compared to a control condition in which the audiovisual exposure stimuli contained non-ambiguous and congruent sounds /aba/ or /ada/. The older children learned to categorize the initially ambiguous speech sound in accord with the previously seen lip-read information (i.e. recalibration), but this was not the case for the younger age group. Moreover, all children displayed a tendency to report the stimulus that they were exposed to during the exposure phase. Methodological improvements for adjusting such a response bias are discussed.

Replacing serum with dried blood microsampling for pharmacokinetics, viral neutralisation and immunogenicity bioanalysis supporting future paediatric development of RSM01, a candidate respiratory syncytial virus neutralising monoclonal antibody.

Background: Virus neutralising antibodies in serum are considered key correlates of protection for vaccines and monoclonal antibodies against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). RSM01 is a novel, highly-potent, half-life-extended and fully-human monoclonal antibody candidate targeting the RSV prefusion F protein. Currently in Phase 1 development, RSM01 is primarily being developed to potentially provide an effective and affordable RSV prevention strategy in low- and middle-income countries.

Background: Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a leading cause of lower respiratory tract disease among infants and young children worldwide, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). RSM01 is a novel, highly potent, half-life-extended anti-RSV monoclonal antibody (mAb) candidate primarily being developed for LMICs. Here we present the preclinical characterisation and results of a phase 1 trial of RSM01.

Purpose: The reproductive and production performance of dairy cows determines the profitability of a dairy farm.
Method: A questionnaire survey was used to assess reproductive performance and husbandry practices by using 100 randomly selected animal owners.
Result: Seventy-nine percent of animal owners involved were men, ages between 30 and 60.

In this study, we investigated the effect of specific noise realizations on the discrimination of two consonants, /b/ and /d/. For this purpose, we collected data from twelve participants, who listened to /aba/ or /ada/ embedded in one of three background noises. All noises had the same long-term spectrum but differed in the amount of random envelope fluctuations.

Introduction: Cochlear implants (CIs) are the treatment of choice for severe to profound hearing loss. Variability in CI outcomes remains despite advances in technology and is attributed in part to differences in cortical processing. Studying these differences in CI users is technically challenging.
