Aphasia assessment: impact of material on naming performance

ABSTRACT Background: Naming and lexical retrieval difficulties are common symptoms of aphasia. Naming abilities are usually evaluated by means of real objects or pictures or line drawings that are printed. Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate whether the ability to name objects among individuals with aphasia is influenced by the dimensions of the visual stimuli and to understand whether the order...

Characterization of SiC thin films deposited by HiPIMS

In this work thin films of silicon carbide (SiC) were deposited on silicon wafers by High Power Impulse Magnetron Sputtering (HiPIMS) technique varying the average power of the discharge on a stoichiometric SiC target. X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and profilometry were used to analyze the films. It was observed that high values of the average electric power favors the form...

Evaluation of piezoresistivity properties of sputtered ZnO thin films

Zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films were deposited by RF reactive magnetron sputtering on silicon (100) substrates under different experimental conditions. ZnO films were studied before and after annealing treatment at 600 °C. The crystallinity, electrical resistivity, stoichiometry, thickness, and elastic modulus of the films were investigated. ZnO piezoresistors were produced using microelectronics processes, such as...

Recuperação e reabilitação da afasia

O campo de actuação da terapêutica da fala é muito vasto e abrange várias patologias. Uma dessas patologias é a afasia. Entende-se por afasia a perturbação de linguagem resultante de uma lesão cerebral que afecta vários aspectos da comunicação, nomeadamente a expressão oral, a compreensão de linguagem, a leitura e a escrita. Os autores fazem uma revisão da literatura acerca da importância que a terapêutica da f...
