Emergent Literacy Skills

Purpose Preschoolers' phonological awareness (PA) and alphabet knowledge (AK) skills are two of the strongest predictors of future reading. Despite evidence that providing at-risk preschoolers with timely emergent literacy interventions can prevent academic difficulties, there is a scarcity of research focusing on Latinx preschoolers who are dual language learners. Despite evidence of benefits of providing Latinxs with Spanish emergent literacy instruction, few studies include preschoolers. This study examined the effects of a supplemental Spanish PA and AK intervention on the dual emergent literacy skills of at-risk Latinx preschoolers. Method A multiple probe design across four units of instruction evaluated the effects of a Spanish supplemental emergent literacy intervention that explicitly facilitated generalizations to English. Four Latinx preschoolers with limited emergent literacy skills in Spanish and English participated in this study. Bilingual researchers delivered scripted lessons targeting PA and AK skills in individual or small groups for 12–17 weeks. Results Children made large gains as each PA skill was introduced into intervention and generalized the PA skills they learned from Spanish to English. They also improved their English initial sound identification skills, a phonemic awareness task, when instruction was delivered in Spanish but with English words. Children made small to moderate gains in their Spanish letter naming and letter–sound correspondence skills and in generalizing this knowledge to English. Conclusion These findings provide preliminary evidence Latinx preschoolers who are dual language learners benefit from emergent literacy instruction that promotes their bilingual and biliterate development.

Abstract This article presents a novel tool designed to allow circuit node measurements in a radio frequency (RF) integrated circuit. The discussion covers RF circuit problems; provides details on the Radio Probe design, which achieves an input impedance of 50Kohms and an overall attenuation factor of 0 dB; and describes signal to noise issues in the output signal, along with their improvement techniques. This cost-effective solution incorporates features that make it well suited to the task of differential measurement of circuit nodes within an RF IC. The Radio Probe concept offers a number of advantages compared to active probes. It is a single frequency measurement tool, so it complements, rather than replaces, active probes.

Based Instruction

Students identified with a specific learning disability (SLD) experience difficulty with mathematical problem solving. One specific intervention identified as a promising practice for students with a SLD is schema-based instruction (SBI). The current projects aimed to tests the efficacy of SBI under routine conditions. This extends prior literature by (a) using a teacher as the implementer, (b) allowing flexibility in the intervention protocol, (c) condensing the duration of intervention sessions, and (d) providing instruction in small group settings. In addition, we examined student problem solving performance on word problems requiring two-steps and combined schema structures. We used a multiple-probe design across three groups of fifth-grade participants (n = 7) receiving supplemental instruction in a resource room setting. Results indicated a functional relation between SBI and problem-solving performance for all students on simple structure word problems, with the magnitude of effects varying across cases. The NAP, Tau, and BC-SMD effect sizes were used to quantify effects. Implications were discussed in regard to systematic replication and conditions that may impact fidelity.

Influence Of Solvent

Twisting of the NMe2 group in p-N,N-dimethylaminobenzonitrile (DMABN) was investigated using AM1 semiempirical method with configuration interaction. Effect of polar media was considered by placing + and - charge centers ("sparkles") at appropriate places opposite the molecule. Optimized ground state geometry of DMABN is slightly twisted with the lowest vertical excited state of 1B character. As the polarity of media increases and/or the - NMe2 group twists, the symmetric 1A excited state having considerable charge separation becomes energetically favorable. Anomalous long-wavelength emission of DMABN comes from this state.

Abstract Fluorescent in situ hybridization has become a useful technique by which chromosomal abnormalities may be shown in interphase cells. We present a dual-fluorescence method whereby a chromosomal and immunophenotypic marker can be visualized simultaneously in the same interphase cell. Two patients with the myeloproliferative disorder polycythemia vera and trisomy for chromosome 8 have been studied using this technique and selective involvement of the myeloid and erythrocyte lineages has been shown by the detection of the trisomy in immunophenotyped cells. Simultaneous analysis of genotype and immunophenotype in individual cells from patients with myeloproliferative disorders or leukemia may help identify the developmental and lineage status of cells in which molecular alterations have resulted in clonal advantage.
