Building Fluency of Sight Words
… effectiveness of teaching kindergarten students sight word vocabulary in support of a phonics based reading program. There were two objectives to the study - to increase recognition of high frequency words and to determine whether the expectation of ten words per month was a reasonable goal. The …

Caution: Line-of-Sight in ICU Designs
… for the clinicians to maintain the line-of-sight. The line-of-sight is one tool clinicians often use to maintain patient safety. </p> <p>Since the seminal publication by the Institute of Medicine in 1999, patient safety concerns have escalated after revealing numerous deaths in U.S. …

Probing quasar sight lines in three dimensions
… of distant quasar are believed to arise when the sight line to the quasar goes trough the disc of a galaxy or a proto galaxy. Most of the neutral matter in the universe is contained in these clouds of neutral hydrogen that cause the absorption lines. Hence these DLAs are reservoirs for the …

Out of sight : re-imagining Graaff's pool
… of my Masters exhibition, entitled Out of Sight. It traces out the progress of this exhibition over the course of two years, attempting to account for the parallel development of my work across the media of sculpture, drawing and figure painting. As such the paper traces out my engagement …

Phonemic awareness and sight word reading in toddlers
… emerging phonemic awareness skills and printed sight word recognition abilities in two-year-old toddlers using plain text and MorphoPhonic Face words on flash cards. MorphoPhonic Face words were used to determine if this learning process is enhanced when words are iconically represented to show …

Examining Middle School String Students' Sight Reading Processes
… sixth-grade string students while individually sight-reading over the course of 11 weeks. The students were presented with a five lesson unit on sight-reading that focused on different musical elements and presented the students with strategies and techniques to be used as a class and during …

Teacher Knowledge and Beliefs Regarding Sight Word Development
… classroom teachers define, understand, and teach sight word development through an orthographic mapping lens. The study utilized a convergent parallel design to concurrently analyze, merge, and compare the quantitative online survey results of 624 teacher responses explicated alongside the …

Heavily-reddened lines of sight in the galaxy
… indicates some variation between lines of sight, but appears to preclude several previously proposed carriers (e.g. photolysed ice residues). No correlations are found between the hydrocarbon band strengths and those of the DIBs, suggesting that if the DIBs carriers are indeed carbonaceous, …

Collision avoidance based on line of sight angle
… scheme, which is solely based on line of sight angle, will be discussed. The line of sight angle can be obtained using an on-board camera and inertial measurement unit. Theoretical guarantees such as stability will be established using Lyapunov analysis. This will be followed by a …

An optical system for line-of-sight communication
We design and implement a system for short and medium range directional two-way wireless communication. The system uses infrared radiation to transmit and receive voice data digitally. We utilize narrow angle infrared light emitting diodes for transmission, directed across a reasonable angular …

Optimal maneuver guidance with sensor line of sight constraint
… vehicle flight constraints, a sensor line-of -sight (LOS) angle limit is imposed as a control variable inequality constraint to provide a sensor field of regard influence on the guidance design. Numerical results are provided that illustrate the optimal guidance for different performance …

Regularity-Preserving Terrain Simplification For Faster Line-of-Sight
… play a key role in many applications. Line-of-sight queries, which are important operations in some applications (e.g. battlefield simulations), test whether or not two entities can see each other over the terrain. Given enough entities and a large enough terrain, computing these queries can be …

Hidden in Plain Sight: the Nat Images of Myanmar
Supernatural beings known as ‘nats’ are widely represented in Myanmar art. Until now they have been a neglected area of research, overshadowed by an academic focus on the country’s Buddhist art and architecture. The research for this thesis analyses why the nats are depicted in particular ways, how …
