Background: Current policy in Oregon under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) indicates that children diagnosed with developmental delay (DD) are eligible for services before school, but not eligible for the receipt of services in school-based programs. Due to this definition of eligibility, children with DD face additional barriers...
Three types of magnetic memory elements with emphasis
placed on low cost and batch fabrication are investigated.
The type I element consists of a wired hole in a strip of
Deltamax tape. The type II element uses a stack of magnetic
tape instead of the Deltamax. The type III element...
A comparison of the various endocrine glands, in addition to
other anatomical measurements, was made on 19 normal and 21
dwarf 2-3-month-old females and 20 normal and 20 dwarf 7-13-month-old females of the White Leghorn breed. At both ages, dwarfs
weighed significantly less and had significantly shorter shanks than
normals....
For more than a decade research on student involvement has informed practitioners in their understanding of the development that results from students' involvement inside and outside the classroom. Since 2006, researchers have explored the socially responsible leadership practices as well as the rise in the popularity of community grassroots organizations;...
Characterizing special nuclear material (SNM) is critical for nuclear security and non-proliferation. Temporal spectroscopy is a novel and efficient method for characterizing relative material content of special nuclear material. Fission products produced by SNM after being irradiated by a thermal neutron beam can have different half-lives, but can contribute to...
Existing pattern recognition and classification
algorithms in computer vision require vast amounts of
computations on input data. As a result, memory access time
is a critical parameter in system performance. Tremendous
parallelism in structure and algorithm is required for the
system to operate in real-time. A preprocessing structure
for qualitative...
Understanding prey quality and prey selection by predators is critical for management efforts aimed at identification and protection of essential habitats and prey. Marine predators must make daily foraging choices in a heterogenous and dynamic environment in order to meet the high energetic demands of migration, reproduction and foraging. With...
Here presented is a photographic catalogue, a key, and literature review for the 35 genera and 90 species of lepturine longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae: Lepturinae) found in the Pacific Northwest. Several nomenclatural changes, recognized by the global taxonomic community, but previously unknown to North American authors, are adopted, and one new...
