Effective Models of In-Class Remedial Reading Instruction
… is to help the school develop a repertoire of effective co-teaching strategies to ease the implementation of a push-in model. This research then will use previous studies in special education and co-teaching to develop strategies for reading instruction in the classroom. The previous work of …

From statistical mechanics to machine learning: effective models for neural activity
… To model this activity, maximum entropy models have been proposed which provide probabilistic descriptions over all possible states but can be fitted using relatively few well-sampled statistics. Maximum entropy models have the appealing property of being the least biased explanation of …

Determination of Realistic Effective Models for Weyl Semimetals of the TaAs Family
… time-consuming and resource-intensive.<br /> Effective low-energy models offer the possibility of simplifying and accelerating the calculations. For example, they can serve as a starting point for the derivation of tight-binding models in which only hopping processes between neighboring atoms …

An Examination of Effective Models for Chapter 1 Intervention in Elementary Schools
<p>This study examines effective models for use of Chapter 1 funds. The interventions for Chapter 1 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act are examined for several Northern California Bay Area Elementary schools. Ten teachers answered questions related to the current Chapter 1 program which …

Interagency collaboration and the impact the Workforce Innovations and Opportunities Act has on it
… promote interagency collaboration. A review of effective models of transition that specifically highlight interagency collaboration will also be discussed. This paper concludes by assessing future directions of interagency collaboration and impact the COVID-19 pandemic may have going forward on …

System dynamics modelling for human resource planning.
… Such planning, in turn, very often makes use of models, and the aim of this research is to show that the application of system dynamics can be used to produce effective models for use in human resource planning. The models developed build on the Inventory and Order Based Production Control …

PREDICTIONS OF SIGNIFICANT WAVE HEIGHT IN LAKE OKEECHOBEE, FLORIDA USING APPROACHES RELATED TO SIMPLIFIED STOCHASTIC PROCEDURE AND WAVE ENERGY SPECTRUM
… In this study, development of predictive models for the determination of time varying significant wave heights in Lake Okeechobee, Florida using the simplified stochastic procedure and wave energy spectrum method is presented. The stochastic procedure related models are Regression Model 1 …

Effects of a mentor program on the academic success and self concept of selected black males in the junior high school
… Concerned educators have led the search for effective models of intervention and prevention. Current literature indicates that positive interaction with adult male mentors in the educational. setting might foster academic success among Black male students. This study investigated the effects …

An Economic Evaluation of Primary Care Behavioral Health in Pediatrics: A Case Study
… and there is little empirical guidance on cost-effective models. This study was an economic evaluation of an integrated care model in a pediatric private practice clinic. The study evaluated cost benefits by examining specific delivery indices such as concerns presented, time spent, billing …

A translation framework for discovering word-like units from visual scenes and spoken descriptions
… word discovery and demonstrate a class of effective models for end-to-end word discovery from image regions and spoken descriptions. Finally, we provide a careful ablation study on components of my system and present some of the challenges in multimodal spoken word discovery.

Mobile bullying in South Africa – exploring its nature, influencing factors and implications
… and prevalence in schools and there are no effective models to predict or measure the level of this aggression. The present study aims to bridge this gap by examining the nature, prevalence and implications of this form of aggression in various South African high schools. The study will also …

Revenue management models in the manufacturing industry
… their profits. These developments call for models that have the potential to radically improve supply chain efficiencies in much the same way that revenue management has changed the airline industry. In this dissertation, we study revenue management models where customers can be separated …

Community: Collaboration For Leadership And Professional Learning In Rural Northern New England
… sought to better understand a potentially effective model for rural principals’ professional development, illustrated by one bounded case--here a self-convened professional learning community. Research questions included inquiry into the needs or interests that compel these area principals …

Network Representation Learning with Attributes and Heterogeneity
… a better representation. This requires designing effective models which jointly leverage structure and attribute information. In case of a heterogeneous network, NRL methods should preserve the different relation types. Towards this goal, this thesis proposes two models to learn a representation …

Development of translational models for intervertebral disc degeneration using a comparative approach for canine and human patients
… serve as highly relevant and ethical preclinical models for both human and canine IVDD. Chondrodystrophic (CD) and non-chondrodystrophic (NCD) breeds of dogs show different phenotypes of IVDD, each of which mimic phenotypes described for human patients. The main goal for this PhD research was to …

Electrifying the bottom of the pyramid : improving access in slums
… in light of past projects in order to design effective models for future projects. In this thesis, slum electrification is characterized using case studies, case study variations of key characteristics are compared, and new models are proposed for scenarios unique to those found in the case …

Analysis of Buckled and Pre-bent Columns Used as Vibration Isolators
… the structural damage to the system. Several models of buckled and pre-bent struts are examined with different combinations of parameters and end conditions. The models include pinned or fixed columns supporting loads above their buckling load, and columns with an initial curvature supporting …

Insights into correlated electron systems from first-principles quantum Monte Carlo
… properties as well as simplified models for interpreting materials' behavior. However, the level of accuracy required is difficult to reach in systems where it is important to properly account for electron correlations. I report several benchmarks establishing that variational …

Local Magnetism in Strongly Correlated Electron Systems with Orbital Degrees of Freedom
… orbital degrees of freedom through the use of effective models. My dissertation focuses on the sub-class of these materials where electrons appear to be localized by interactions, and magnetic ions have well measured magnetic moments. This suggests that we can capture the low-energy physics of …

Models and methods for computer simulations as a resource in plant breeding
… of these decisions, computer simulation based on effective models can be an important resource for the breeder, particularly in providing guidance on choice of parents and decisions related to various aspects of the integrated breeding approach. Four areas related to use of computer simulation and …
