Motor skill deficits are present and persist in school-aged children with autism
spectrum disorder (ASD; Staples & Reid, 2010). Yet the focus of intervention is
on core impairments, which are part of the diagnostic criteria for ASD, deficits in
social communication skills. The purpose of this study is to determine...
In addition to the core characteristics of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) motor skill
deficits are present, persistent and pervasive across age. Although motor skill deficits have been
indicated in young children with autism they have not been included in the primary discussion of
early intervention content. 159 young children with...
Objective: To determine the relationship of motor skills and the core behaviors of young children with autism, social affective skills and repetitive behaviors, as indicated through the calibrated autism severity scores.
Design: The univariate GLM tested the relationship of gross and fine motor skills measured by the gross motor scale...
Solid phases that form under the influence of changing environmental conditions often record such changes in their chemical composition. Quantification of these compositional variations is invaluable in reconstructing paleoenvironmental changes. Laser ablation, employed as a solid sample introduction system, offers fine spatial resolution (50 - 250 [mu]m) for spectroscopic analysis...

Sorting is one of the more computationally intensive tasks a computer performs. One of the most effective ways to speed up the task of sorting is by using parallel algorithms. When implementing a parallel algorithm, the designer has to make several decisions. Among the decisions are the algorithm and the...
Adequate management and scientific investigation of ecosystems
depends on classification of landscape systems based on all significant
bio-physical and associated cultural properties. The present
classification is a hierarchical systems design that can be modeled in
terms of a natural system interacting with its level-specific
environment. A watershed system in this...

Upwelling jets flow alongshore in approximate geostrophic balance with the onshore pressure gradient induced by coastal upwelling. Observations of such jets have shown that they often move offshore downstream of capes, leaving a pool of upwelled water inshore. Comparisons are made between this behavior and the hydraulic transition of a...
We estimated the economic rent obtained currently (that is, in 2002) in the Namibian hake fishery and the rent that might potentially be obtainable if the fishery were managed optimally in the sense of economics. We first reviewed previous economic and biological studies. We then used the theory and model...
