THE RELATIONSHIP OF MULTI-DISCIPLINARY DECISION-MAKING PROCEDURES TO THE DIAGNOSIS OF CHILDREN WITH SPECIFIC LEARNING DISABILITIES: AN EXPLORATORY INVESTIGATION
Creators: name: Mainzer, Jr., Richard W.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: From its earliest foundations the field of learning disabilities has been rife with controversies surrounding diagnostic procedures. Past efforts have been relatively unsuccessful in finding reliable and valid diagnostic procedures. The regulations of Public Law 94-142 describe an evaluation process in which a multidisciplinary evaluation team is given the responsibility for diagnosing learning disabled students. It may be hoped that group decision making will be more reliable and valid. Yet, very little is actually known about the effects of team diagnoses on reliability and validity. This investigation was designed to determine whether multidisciplinary evaluation teams which have received training in standard diagnostic guidelines were more consistent and accurate than multidisciplinary evaluation teams who were not trained in the guidelines. In order to investigate this question, multidisciplinary evaluation teams which had received training in the use of standard guidelines and multidisciplinary evaluation teams which had not received the training in the use of the guidelines were given the case documents of elementary aged students referred by a classroom teacher as suspected of being learning disabled. The same case information was given to a selected team of specialists. Two hypotheses were postulated. The first hypothesis was that the diagnoses of the trained teams would be more consistent (reliable) than actual evaluation teams in match non-pilot schools. The second hypothesis was that the trained teams would be more accurate than the actual evaluation teams in match non-pilot schools, when compared to the decisions of the selected specialists, the criterion team. The analyses revealed that the trained teams were neither significantly more consistent nor more accurate. Possible reasons for these results were reviewed. Among the conclusions possible, the following were considered: the phenomenological design was unduly biased against revealing any real differences present, and the standard guidelines and training were not effective, possibly because of a lack of clarity or because of insufficient practice. The diagnostic evaluation team is an appropriate unit for the evaluation of reliability and validity of diagnoses, and the diagnostic evaluation team is a fruitful unit for improving diagnostic standard guidelines.

description: Even though no local order parameter in the sense of the Landau theory exists for topological quantum phase transitions in Chern insulators, the highly non-local Berry curvature exhibits critical behavior near a quantum critical point. We investigate the critical properties of its real space analog, the local Chern marker, in weakly disordered Chern insulators. Due to disorder, inhomogeneities appear in the spatial distribution of the local Chern marker. Their size exhibits power-law scaling with the critical exponent matching the one extracted from the Berry curvature of a clean system. We drive the system slowly through such a quantum phase transition. The characteristic size of inhomogeneities in the non-equilibrium post-quench state obeys the Kibble-Zurek scaling. In this setting, the local Chern marker thus does behave in a similar way as a local order parameter for a symmetry breaking second order phase transition. The Kibble-Zurek scaling also holds for the inhomogeneities in the spatial distribution of excitations and of the orbital polarization.

description: This article is focused in analysing the main economic events that have cause impact in Mexican economic development from 1970 to 2000. A review is made on the different strategies in the application of the economic policy that the various governments have adopted, from the failure that the politics based on a structuralist model have represented, to the tribulations on scarce competitivity in the current, neoliberalism-based, model. Particular attention is given to the management of economical eventualities and public policies that have been applied in every period, aswell as to the presidents that have been its promoters.

description: We present the first WFPC2 V, I photometry for the Sculptor Group galaxy NGC 300 in four fields ranging from the centre to the outer edge. We have made the first measurement of the star formation histories in two disk fields: the oldest stars were born at similar epochs and formation activity increased but at different mean rates. The main disk stellar population is predominantly old, consisting of RGB and AGB stars, based on a synthetic colour magnitude diagram analysis. Z is found to have been more metal poor than 0.006 (or 0.33Zsolar) with no evidence for significant change in the mean Z value over time in both disk fields. In the central region, we find a dearth of bright stars with respect to the two disk fields that cannot be explained by observational effects. Taken at face value, this finding would agree with the Davidge (1998) report of suppressed star formation there during the past 1Gyr with respect to his disk fields at larger radii; but the possibility of significant central extinction affecting our finding remains. We have also determined the first distance modulus estimate based on the tip of the red giant branch method: on the Cepheid distance scale of Ferrarese et al. (2000) we find (m-M)o = 26.56+/-0.07 (+/-0.13) mag; and a similar value from the Cepheid-independent empirical method by Lee et al. (1993), both in good agreement with the Cepheid distance determined by Freedman et al. (2001). A discrepancy between this and the theoretical calibration of the red giant branch tip magnitude method remains. Finally, we report a newly detected young (up to about 10Myr) stellar association of about average size (~140pc) in one of the disk fields.

COCITATION CLUSTERING: DEVELOPMENT OF A HYBRID COMPUTER TECHNIQUE FOR SEARCHING FOR RELATED CHEMICAL SUBSTANCES
Creators: name: Hazard, Jr., George Franklin
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: A set of methods generically known as 'Substructure Search' has been developed over the years to search for related structural classes in the chemical literature. These methods require two types of expertise. First, chemical subject matter expertise is needed to determine the basic skeleton, or 'substructure', characteristic of a class of substances. Second, a search intermediate is needed to code this substructure into the conventions of a given search system. This thesis describes a hybrid method of searching for related chemicals using citation frequency data and similarity measures. Given the CAS Registry Number of a substance of interest, this method will discover a variety of structurally related substances with very little input on the part of the searcher. All articles citing a parent substance of interest in the TOXLINE file of the National Library of Medicine are retrieved and substances cited in these articles are ordered by the strength of their 'cocitation' with the parent substance. Cocitation strength is defined as the number of citations that cite two substances of interest together. These substances are then further grouped by the strength of the similarity of their systematic names to form cocitation clusters. Similarity is calculated by the number of two character segments (digrams) generated from the systematic names of the parent substance and those substances cited with it. Digrams are stored in a bit string using the method of superimposed coding. Compared to substructure searches run as controls, cocitation clustering always retrieved relevant substances not found in the controls, including related chemicals without fully defined structures that are difficult to retrieve in standard substructure search systems. The method did not retrieve all substances found in the control searches, and reasons are discussed for this. When used together, cocitation and clustering leads to the discovery of chemicals related both structurally and biologically, and these substances are useful in defining the scope of further substructure searches or as data to be used immediately in a search in a citation file such as TOXLINE.

description: We present a 74 MHz survey of a 165 square degree region located near the north galactic pole. This survey has an unprecedented combination of both resolution (25'' FWHM) and sensitivity (RMS noise as low as 24 mJy/beam). We detect 949 sources at the 5-sigma level in this region, enough to begin exploring the nature of the 74 MHz source population. We present differential source counts, spectral index measurements and the size distribution as determined from counterparts in the high resolution FIRST 1.4 GHz survey. We find a trend of steeper spectral indices for the brighter sources. Further, there is a clear correlation between spectral index and median source size, with the flat spectrum sources being much smaller on average. Ultra-steep spectrum objects (alpha < -1.2) are identified, and we present high resolution VLA follow-up observations of these sources which, identified at such a low frequency, are excellent candidates for high redshift radio galaxies.

description: Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC) have recently been the subject of considerable study as possible analogue models of general relativity. In particular it was shown that the propagation of phase perturbations in a BEC can, under certain conditions, closely mimic the dynamics of scalar quantum fields in curved spacetimes. In two previous articles [gr-qc/0110036, gr-qc/0305061] we noted that a varying scattering length in the BEC corresponds to a varying speed of light in the ``effective metric''. Recent experiments have indeed achieved a controlled tuning of the scattering length in Rubidium 85. In this article we shall discuss the prospects for the use of this particular experimental effect to test some of the predictions of semiclassical quantum gravity, for instance, particle production in an expanding universe. We stress that these effects are generally much larger than the Hawking radiation expected from causal horizons, and so there are much better chances for their detection in the near future.

description: Human input has enabled autonomous systems to improve their capabilities and achieve complex behaviors that are otherwise challenging to generate automatically. Recent work focuses on how robots can use such input - like demonstrations or corrections - to learn intended objectives. These techniques assume that the human's desired objective already exists within the robot's hypothesis space. In reality, this assumption is often inaccurate: there will always be situations where the person might care about aspects of the task that the robot does not know about. Without this knowledge, the robot cannot infer the correct objective. Hence, when the robot's hypothesis space is misspecified, even methods that keep track of uncertainty over the objective fail because they reason about which hypothesis might be correct, and not whether any of the hypotheses are correct. In this paper, we posit that the robot should reason explicitly about how well it can explain human inputs given its hypothesis space and use that situational confidence to inform how it should incorporate human input. We demonstrate our method on a 7 degree-of-freedom robot manipulator in learning from two important types of human input: demonstrations of manipulation tasks, and physical corrections during the robot's task execution.

description: A nonlinear two-dimensional system is studied by making use of both the Lagrangian and the Hamiltonian formalisms. The present model is obtained as a two-dimensional version of a one-dimensional oscillator previously studied at the classical and also at the quantum level. First, it is proved that it is a super-integrable system, and then the nonlinear equations are solved and the solutions are explicitly obtained. All the bounded motions are quasiperiodic oscillations and the unbounded (scattering) motions are represented by hyperbolic functions. In the second part the system is generalized to the case of $n$ degrees of freedom. Finally, the relation of this nonlinear system with the harmonic oscillator on spaces of constant curvature, two-dimensional sphere $S^2$ and hyperbolic plane $H^2$, is discussed.

description: The Indian Education Act (IEA) has been funded since 1972. This Act, guided by traditional theories of education reform, assumes a positive relationship between increased educational attainment and employment for Indians. The present work represents the first assessment of the relationship between education and employment for Indians which utilizes data reflecting the impact of the IEA. A secondary analysis of the data file provided by the Office of Indian Education's 1981 National Indian Adult Education Needs Survey was used to examine relationships between educational attainment and employment, unemployment, and underemployment for Indians. This secondary analysis shows that the relationship between education and employment for Indians is not simple and direct, but is mediated by factors related to geographic region, degree of tribal organization, and the extent of self-determination exercised in adult education programs. The theory-testing results of the present work are developed and applied to present a theory of self-determined Indian adult education for social change. A critical model of education for social change in the Indian community is presented which incorporates and applies the adult education theory and pedagogy of Paulo Freire. The relationship between critical adult education, consciousness, and social change is presented in a model which shows the promise for social change held by the IEA and Indian self-determination rights.

description: From Coaching Manual:
This coaching manual is based on both the efficiency model of support for behavioral intervention technologies(1) and on peer-delivered behavioral activation. 
The Vira app prompts users to reflect on their sense of enjoyment and their sense of growth and uses passive sensing technology to identify activities and behaviors that appear to be predictive of a users' enjoyment and growth. 
Vira coaches support participants in using the Vira app and strive to maximize outcomes using the minimum amount of coaching resources necessary to achieve this aim. 
Ideally, this is accomplished by making hypotheses about the reason(s) why a person is not using or benefitting from the program (i.e., failure points) and then taking steps to address the problem thereby improving outcomes. These reasons, or failure points, fall into 5 categories and include problems with usability, engagement, knowledge, fit, and implementation (see Schueller, Tomasino, & Mohr, 2017 for an overview of the model). To enhance benefit, coaches will help participants overcome technical problems (i.e., usability issues), use various strategies to enhance motivation and encourage consistent use (engagement), promote knowledge acquisition and appropriate use of specific skills for symptoms/problems (knowledge and fit), and encourage regular application of the intervention concepts in daily life (implementation). 
Vira coaches also provide behavioral activation content following a peer-led delivery model. The coach will help the participant to set a goal of doing at least one pleasurable or rewarding activity each day. These goals can include physical activities, social activities, or other activities or hobbies that have value and meaning for the individual. Engaging in pleasurable activities like these will help break the cycle of depression and improve perspective, mood, interest level, energy and overall quality of life.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: The Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo gravitational wave detectors have detected a population of binary black hole mergers in their first two observing runs. For each of these events we have been able to associate a potential sky location region represented as a probability distribution on the sky. Thus, at this point we may begin to ask the question of whether this distribution agrees with the isotropic model of the Universe, or if there is any evidence of anisotropy. We perform Bayesian model selection between an isotropic and a simple anisotropic model, taking into account the anisotropic selection function caused by the underlying antenna patterns and sensitivity of the interferometers over the sidereal day. We find an inconclusive Bayes factor of $1.3:1$, suggesting that the data from the first two observing runs is insufficient to pick a preferred model. However, the first detections were mostly poorly localised in the sky (before the Advanced Virgo joined the network), spanning large portions of the sky and hampering detection of potential anisotropy. It will be appropriate to repeat this analysis with events from the recent third LIGO observational run and a more sophisticated cosmological model.

With a brief review of rolling tachyons in both flat and curved spacetimes, we study the string cosmological model with both tachyon and dilaton. In the string frame, flat space solutions of both initial-stage and late-time are obtained in closed form. In the Einstein frame, every expanding solution is decelerating. When a Born-Infeld U(1) gauge field is coupled, enhancement of e-folding of scale factor is also discussed by numerical analysis.

description: Feynman's path integral approach is to sum over all possible spatio-temporal paths to reproduce the quantum wave function and the corresponding time evolution, which has enormous potential to reveal quantum processes in classical view. However, the complete characterization of quantum wave function with infinite paths is a formidable challenge, which greatly limits the application potential, especially in the strong-field physics and attosecond science. Instead of brute-force tracking every path one by one, here we propose deep-learning-performed strong-field Feynman's formulation with pre-classification scheme which can predict directly the final results only with data of initial conditions, so as to attack unsurmountable tasks by existing strong-field methods and explore new physics. Our results build up a bridge between deep learning and strong-field physics through the Feynman's path integral, which would boost applications of deep learning to study the ultrafast time-dependent dynamics in strong-field physics and attosecond science, and shed a new light on the quantum-classical correspondence.

description: Wing polymorphism is barely known in the true bug family Tingidae (Hemiptera, Heteroptera). In the Neotropical genus Gargaphia Stål, 1862, as in most of the ~300 Tingidae genera, it’s not even reported. However, in other cases such as in the genus Baeotingis Drake & Poor, 1939 all known species are so-called ‘brachypterous’. The lack of macropterous specimens recorded in Baeotingis ended after identifying samples from Rio Grande do Sul state, in southern Brazil, in 2017. However, among the three Baeotingis species, two were clearly more similar than the one with the observed macropterous specimen, and that caught my attention. Following the ‘gut feeling’ that these could be, in fact, the first brachypterous specimens for the genus Gargaphia instead of species of Baeotingis, I decided to perform a delicate procedure: unglue the type material, and only available specimens, of B. silvestrii Drake, 1948 and B. vianai Kormilev, 1955, both of ~2 mm of length and more than 60 years old, to observe the presence of an unique Gargaphia character, the heart-shaped metasternal laminae. This successful endeavor ended in an outstanding discovery that will result in a publication transferring these species, and also aiming to re-open the discussion on wing polymorphism in the group.
THE INCIDENCE OF FARMERS' PERSONAL INCOME TAX PREFERENCES
Creators: name: Niles, Thomas Austin
Publisher: name: American University

description: Income taxes became important to farmers in the early 1940s. The structural change that followed left larger farms and fewer farmers. These changes may have resulted from a number of factors, such as economies of scale, changing attitudes, and government commodity programs, but income tax preferences for large, successful farmers may also have contributed to this structural change. Because farmers are treated uniquely in the United States personal income tax system, they can lower their tax liabilities in ways not generally available to nonfarmers. To determine the true impact of these preferences on farming and the economy, we need to know whether these preferences rest with the tax-paying farmer or whether they are shifted to consumers through lower commodity prices. Multiple regression shows the incidence of these preferences when we add a tax variable (to the independent variables usually used to explain the agricultural rate of return) and examine its coefficient. Our statistically significant coefficient for the tax variable indicates that taxes and preferences are shifted to consumers. However, all farmers do not benefit equally from income tax preferences: a farmer paying no tax gets no benefit, but high income investors may initially reap large benefits from tax preferences. Shifted preferences lower industry commodity prices but producers gaining large benefit from preferences may still produce profitably, after taxes, while producers receiving no tax preference benefit will lose selling commodities at new lower industry prices and will ultimately stop producing. Our study shows that farm tax preferences are largely shifted to consumers in the first year through lower commodity prices. Farms expand, and some new investors enter the sector to utilize tax preferences, more fully, while some marginal producers leave farming. By the third year, after taxes have decreased, enough producers have left farming to raise farm commodity prices slightly. On a macroeconomic level, regressive tax preferences lower the progressivity of the personal income tax rate structure. On the farm, the indirect impact of regressive tax preferences can be a decisive factor causing marginal producers to leave farming.

Fitting methods from Dynamics of ATP-dependent and ATP-independent steppings of myosin-V on actin: catch-bond characteristics

description: An analytical theory is presented for the dynamics of myosin-V molecular motor, where both ATP-dependent and ATP-independent steppings are taken into account. Specifically, the dependences of velocity, run length and unbinding rate upon both forward and backward loads and ATP concentration are studied, explaining quantitatively the diverse available single-molecule data and providing predicted results. The results show that the unbinding rate increases with the increase of ATP concentration and levels off at both low and high ATP concentrations. More interestingly, at the ATP concentration that is not very low, the unbinding rate exhibits characteristic of a catch-slip bond under the backward load, with the unbinding rate decreasing rapidly with the increase of the backward load in the range smaller than about 2.5 pN and then increasing slowly with the further increase of the backward load. By contrast, under the forward load the unbinding rate exhibits a slip-bond characteristic.

Renormalons in exclusive meson electroproduction

description: We discuss the possibility of measuring generalized parton distributions in exclusive electroproduction of mesons off the nucleon and estimate the uncertainty from perturbatively induced higher-twist corrections. We find that, while the magnitude of the cross section changes significantly taking into account twist-four contributions modeled via renormalons, the transverse spin asymmetry is weakly sensitive to them and displays the precocious scaling.

description: We study the effects of pseudo-magnetic fields on Weyl semimetals with over-tilted Weyl cones, or type II cones. We compare the phenomenology of the resulting pseudo-Landau levels in the type II Weyl semimetal to the known case of type I cones. We predict that due to the nature of the chiral Landau level resulting from a magnetic field, a pseudo-magnetic field, or their combination, the optical conductivity can be utilized to detect a type II phase and deduce the direction of the tilt. Finally, we discuss ways to engineer homogeneous and inhomogeneous type II semimetals via generalizations of known layered constructions in order to create controlled pseudo-magnetic fields and over-tilted cones.

IMPACT OF THE OIL SECTOR ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE NON-OIL ECONOMY OF SAUDI ARABIA
Creators: name: Aldoasary, Fahad Saad
Publisher: name: ProQuest
Year: 2023
Subjects: classificationCode: 38
subject: Economics

description: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of oil export expansion on the development of the non-oil economy of Saudi Arabia during the 1963-80 period. The primary aim of the study is to analyze the pattern of growth and the character of structural transformation of the non-oil economy during the period, with particular focus on the domestic manufacturing sector. The study used Hirschman's generalized linkage approach. The analytical tools of this approach consist of the well-known backward and forward linkages. These were used to analyze the direct and indirect linkage effects of the oil sector on the domestic economy. The approach includes also the "fiscal" and "consumption" linkages. The fiscal linkage measures the effects of government investment, while the consumption linkage measures the effects of the investment and production activities of the non-oil manufacturing sector. The linkage definitions were adapted to account for the lack of an input-output table and data limitations. To analyze the leakages in the oil stimulus, some leakage indicators were used. The study also used historical analysis to explain some non-economic aspects of the transformation. The main conclusions of the study are as follows: (1) A rapid growth of income and consumption and a significant improvement in the standard of living took place during the period of the study. (2) The backward and forward linkages as well as the consumption linkage were found to be weak relative to the fiscal linkage. The latter linkage, broadly defined, i.e., including the infrastructural investment, was very strong. But more narrowly defined--excluding the infrastructure and oil processing--the fiscal linkage was somewhat weak, though stronger than the other linkages. (3) The main trends of the economy generally were contrary to the expectation of the diversification strategy. The dependence of the non-oil economy on oil revenues has increased; the share of imports in total commodity supply has also increased; the share of domestic manufacturing in non-oil value-added has remained constant, while that of agriculture has declined; and the proportion of non-Saudis in the labor force has risen.
