(ProQuest, 2013)
**Please note that the full text is embargoed** ABSTRACT: The purpose of this research was to distinguish the similarities and differences in coping
strategies of African American engineering students by analyzing their ...
Visual and linguistic factors in literacy acquisition: Instructional implication for beginning readers in low income countries
(World Bank, 2013)
Improving the quality of literacy teaching may require intervening at different levels, for example, encouraging school attendance and optimizing textbook format and teaching methods. Reading is a complex task involving ...
A doubling technique for the power method transformations
(Hikari Ltd,, 2012)
Power method polynomials are used for simulating non-normal distributions with specified product moments or L-moments. The power method is capable of producing distributions with extreme values of skew (L-skew) and kurtosis ...
A method for simulating non-normal distributions with specified L-skew, L-kurtosis, and L-correlation
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation,, 2012)
This paper introduces two families of distributions referred to as the symmetric κ and asymmetric
κL-κR distributions. The families are based on transformations of standard logistic pseudo-random
deviates. The primary ...
Simulating non-normal distributions with specified L-moments and L-correlations
(Blackwell Publishing,, 2012)
This paper derives a procedure for simulating continuous non-normal distributions with specified L-moments and L-correlations in the context of power method polynomials of order three. It is demonstrated that the proposed ...
SIG en la nube: WebSIG para la enseñanza de la geografía
(Grupo de Didáctica de la Geografía de la Asociación de Geógrafos Españoles, 2011)
There is no doubt among most geography educators that GIS is an important tool
for teaching and learning, but its use has been slowed by issues such as the cost of the software and the management of large spatial data ...
Learning From Our Mistakes: What Matters When Incorporating Blogging in the Content Area Literacy Classroom
(International Reading Association, 2011-12)
The article overviews a longitudinal study conducted by three teachers in which they incorporated blogging as an instructional strategy. According to the article, the goal of the authors was to provide students with the ...
Reading fluency measurements in EFA FTI partner countries : outcomes and improvement prospects
(World Bank, 2011)
Students in lower-income countries often acquire limited literacy in school and often drop out illiterate. For those who stay, the problem is not detected until it is too late to intervene. Oral reading fluency tests given ...
Can adults become fluent in newly learned scripts?
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2012)
Adults learning new scripts have difficulty becoming automatic readers. They typically read haltingly, understand little of what they read, and may forget letter values. This article presents the hypothesis that halting ...
On simulating univariate and multivariate Burr Type III and Type XII distributions
(Hikari Ltd,, 2010)
This paper describes a method for simulating univariate and multivariate Burr Type III and Type XII distributions with specified correlation matrices. The methodology is based on the derivation of the parametric forms of ...
