Abstract:
This qualitative study used theories of language and learning to explore the identities of one preservice teacher in a reading specialization program. Data sources included archived online course responses, interviews, journals, and an electronic portfolio. Analysis indicates that the participant used multiple discourses as an immigrant, multilanguage learner, and writer/poet to make sense of her learning in the program. These discourses shaped her identities as a teacher and influenced how her peers recognized her. Analyzing online responses over time added to the uniqueness of this study bec

Abstract:
This action research study focuses on measuring the impact of a Free Voluntary Reading Program on students’ active vocabulary use and self-direction in language learning in two different programs of English as a foreign language. The impetus for this research came from close observation and a needs analysis that confirmed students’ reluctant attitude towards reading, due to deficiency in vocabulary, as well as the limited access to books of their interest in the target language. The implementation of the program took place in blended classes in two university contexts, with 14 and 11 students

Abstract:
AbstractIn his critique of the language and thought of the Scholastics, Lorenzo Valla contrasts classical Latin as a natural, common language to the so-called artificial, technical, and unnatural language of his opponents. He famously champions Quintilian’s view that one should follow common linguistic usage. Scholars, however, have disagreed about the precise interpretation of these qualifications of Latin. This article argues that, depending on the historical, rhetorical, and argumentative contexts, Valla uses notions such as common and natural in different ways to suit different purposes. S

Abstract:
AbstractThere are numerous ways to construe positive education in the early years, particularly as it relates to wellbeing and positive emotional outcomes. The teaching of coping skills provides tools for wellbeing within a positivist framework through emphasising the use of productive coping strategies and reducing the use of unhelpful, non-productive strategies. This chapter provides an example of teaching coping skills in early childhood: the Early Years Coping Project. The project helped young children articulate and understand coping constructs and provided tools to help parents and teachers to assess children’s coping. Visual tools facilitated the development of children’s coping skills in classroom activities. Parents were encouraged to develop their parenting skills and their own coping, utilising the emotion and coping language that is common to them and their children. The parent program was subsequently adapted in a format that was readily communicated to a culturally diverse population, using the generic frameworks and constructs of coping. Coping concepts and constructs have subsequently been incorporated into a COPE-Resilience curriculum. We highlight several applications and extensions of the curriculum. Coping skills provide a template for healthy social-emotional development that can be utilised in different contexts throughout life.

Common cognitive errors (e.g., hopelessness, catastrophizing, mind reading) are introduced and applied to the teen’s own identified automatic thoughts. For youth with chronic illness, the impact of their symptoms on their functioning can adversely impact on their expectations and willingness to set challenging yet appropriate goals for themselves. CBT skills in challenging and changing unsubstantiated and disabling beliefs and schema are crucial to overcoming these barriers.

Abstract:
Session 4 builds on “Managing the Impact” coping skills by helping you learn to apply “Challenging Your Thoughts” skills to the stressful situations identified earlier and recorded on the “Thought-Changing Skills” Worksheet from the previous session. The goal of this session is to assist you in more accurately identifying those distortions in your assumptions, beliefs and thinking that underly distressful and uncomfortable emotions/feelings, which in turn can amplify unpleasant symptoms such as energy level and pain intensity. Common thinking errors such as hopelessness, catastrophic thinking, and mind reading are introduced and applied to your own identified automatic thoughts. This is followed by introducing strategies for challenging those often unsubstantiated and disabling thoughts that serve as barriers to setting goals, expectations, and motivation, which make it difficult to get your coping and lifestyle back on track.

Abstract:
There has always been a “reading crisis,” at least for the last two hundred years. Up to the end of the nineteenth century critics fretted over the spread of mass literacy, which (they anticipated) would degrade the quality of literature. And then, at various points over the twentieth century, critics warned that the Book-of-the-Month Club, or middlebrow literature, or paperbacks, or the Great Books of the Western World, or Oprah Winfrey would mean the end of serious reading. As documented here, none of these irrational fears had any basis in reality. But even if others frequently cried wolf in the past, there are real and present threats to reading, and often (ironically) they come from the very quarters that warn that reading is in a crisis that must be addressed. Perhaps the most deeply troubling development on the reading instruction front is Common Core, a set of educational standards that promises “career and college readiness.” It has been adopted by most of the fifty states in the US, though several are having second thoughts and pulling back. The Gates Foundation has heavily promoted Common Core, donating a total of $150 million to teachers’ unions, universities, foundations, state departments of education, and think tanks that support the program. What Bill Gates prefers to call “ philanthropy” was in this case more like an investment, given that the Common Core would require much greater use of computers in classrooms. Likewise, publishing giant Pearson stood ready to corral a huge and largely captive market for textbooks oriented to Common Core. (Historians of textbooks know that, because they are usually sold to a government monopsony, opportunities for corruption are enormous.) Championed as well by Education Secretary Arne Duncan and many state governors, Common Core thus involves the takeover of school reading instruction not by capitalism, but by crony capitalism, cutting out both teachers and parents in shaping educational policy. Pearson was awarded contracts that effectively ensured that the company would be the only qualified bidder. In a 28 February 2014 meeting, Pearson CEO John Fallon and CFO Robin Freestone discussed the company’s long-term profitability with eight market analysts.

Abstract:
Adjusting to college is difficult regardless if the student is entering higher education immediately after graduating from high school, returning as a re-admit, or an adult entering college after an extended period of time working or raising a family. While colleges offer numerous specialized student support services from tutoring to psychological counseling, most individuals would benefit from added guidance, support, and empowerment from a mentor. While traditional (face-to-face) mentoring is an excellent option, it requires that specific financial, time, schedule, and geographic elements be met. Therefore, an e-mentor initiative might be a viable solution, where all communication interaction is conducted through virtual and Web 2.0 technologies such as Facebook, Instant Message (IM), Skype, Google Groups, Virtual Common Reading Program, and Virtual Reflection Journals.

Abstract:
Software packages are available for all common laboratory computer systems. The packages for personal computers (PC or Macintosh) are able assemble and correct the sequence, those for the larger systems (VAX or Unix) are generally able to analyze the sequence in greater detail. Most laboratories will be able to use sequence assembly programs in their favorite sequence analysis software package. In general, the stages of sequence assembly are gel entry, overlap detection, editing, and reporting. The available programs differ in the ways they handle each of these tasks. No single package is ideal, though all should be adequate for a smaller project such as a single cDNA. Particular attention should be given to the quality and features of the editor, as this is where most time will be spent, and to the possibilities of extending the software to cope with problems that may arise. Good status reports and a choice of methods for overlap detection can save considerable time in resolving ambiguities and correcting errors later. Figure 1 lists some of the commonly used sequence assembly programs. The prices vary widely depending on the features of the package and the options for academic or commercial licenses. Originally, each package used its own “special” codes to represent ambiguous bases and gaps in sequences. Mostpackages now use the standard IUB-IUPAC codes (Figure 2) for the nucleotides, though the program documentation should be checked before starting the project. The task of sequence reading depends on the sequencing protocol used. In many laboratories the sequence is generated on an autoradiograph (Figure 3) from which the sequence is read. Although automated gel readers are on the market, most sequence data is read manually with the aid of a digitizer. Most sequence assembly programs accept DNA sequence read by a sonic digitizer. An example of a device which is supported by most of the available programs is the GrafBar GP-7 [Science Accessories Corporation, Southport, CT, US A and P.M.S. (Instruments) Ltd., Waldeck House, Reform Road, Maidenhead, Berks, SL6 8BX, UK]. Sonic digitizers have a stylus to point to locations on an autoradiograph, which is illuminated from below by a light box.

Abstract:
In 1916 Columbia University dropped its Latin requirement for admissions, effectively opening its doors to the striving sons of immigrants. Thus (in a word) it became the first Ivy League school to deal with the issue of diversity. In the same year, Professor John Erskine proposed what became the General Honors course, Columbia’s celebrated core curriculum of Great Books. Much later that program would come under fire for not including enough female and non-Western authors—but measured against the standards of its time, it was strikingly democratic, inclusive, and anti-authoritarian. The students who were now entering, educated at public schools, lacked the common classical training of prep-school boys, so Erskine aimed to teach them a shared body of literature that was far more broad and accessible. It took the Classics Department a year to get through Herodotus in the original: General Honors covered him (in translation) in a week. And Erskine’s definition of “Great Book” was clearly flexible: he envisioned that the reading list would be revised from year to year, and at first it was. The aim was not to follow a rigid canon, but to create the basis for a common conversation. And so it did: the early cohort of students included young men who would go on to shape intellectual discourse in mid-century America: Lionel Trilling, Jacques Barzun, Clifton Fadiman, Whittaker Chambers, Joseph Mankiewicz (future screenwriter and director), and Leon Keyserling (later Harry Truman’s top economic advisor), with Mark Van Doren and Mortimer Adler serving as instructors. Early in his teaching career, Erksine explained his liberation pedagogy: . . . A college course in literature should provide for two things—the direct contact of the student’s mind with as many books as possible, and the filling in of any gaps in his sympathy with what he reads. Almost all the great books were intended for the average man, and the author contemplated an immediate relation with his audience. There is room for the annotator or teacher only when time has made the subject remote or strange, or when the reader’s imagination is unable to grasp the recorded experience . . . If the student’s task is to read great books constantly, the teacher’s part [is] to connect the reading with the pupil’s experience . . . . . .

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter introduces formal models of cognition and explains how they are similar to verbal theories but use computer programs and mathematics to avoid the many limitations of human reasoning, thereby adding precision and rigor to their explanations. The chapter discusses Marr’s (1982) levels of analyses and how information-processing systems can be understood and described in terms of the task being performed, the representations and algorithms used to perform the task, and how the latter are implemented by physical systems. This then motivates discussion of three common approaches to modeling human cognition and behavior: process models, production-system models, and connectionist models. Each of these approaches is critiqued, with discussion of its merits and limitations. The three modeling approaches are then further illustrated by showing how each might be used to explain the finding that words can be identified more efficiently if they occur in predictable sentence contexts. The chapter closes with a discussion of how cognitive models are evaluated using their simplicity, theoretical scope, compatibility (e.g., with biology), and their capacity to generate novel predictions for guiding research.

Abstract:
The following two chapters show how crucial elements of the educational reforms developed above all by Comenius and propagated by Hartlib and his associates emerged out of common roots in the post-Ramist pedagogical traditions of central Europe. The goal of pansophia—expressed by Comenius as ‘Omnes, Omnia, Omnino’, that is, to teach all things to all human beings thoroughly and completely, by all available means—is the ultimate logical extension of the basic aim of Ramus and the tradition deriving from him: to provide a broader education to a wider segment of the population as quickly, easily, and inexpensively as possible (section 7.i). The means proposed to achieve these goals were also very similar: namely, to produce readily digestible compendia governed by Ramus’ three laws of method (section 7.ii). No less important for Comenius’ pedagogical programme were the praecognita, systemata, and gymnasia which structured Keckermann’s textbooks, together with the lexica added by Alsted. Even the most ‘Baconian’ of Comenius’ textbooks, the famous Orbis sensualium pictus (1658), emerged from a lengthy discussion amongst Hartlib’s friends undertaken in terms far more reminiscent of Keckermann and Alsted than of Bacon himself (section 7.iii).

Abstract:
Abstract Buildings are complex systems with dynamic loading and ever-changing usage. Additionally, there is a need to reduce unnecessary energy consumption while increasing occupant health in buildings via implementation of manual fault detection with available building design programs. However, a common problem with the current lineup of programs is that they require extensive inputs for material properties and usage loads; this results in spending extensive amounts of time performing model calibration and having to adjust multiple values (sometimes hundreds) to bring a model in alignment wit

Abstract:
The requirements for higher fuel economy and better diesel and gasoline engines demand a wider range in turbocharger compressor operation. Ported shroud compressor housing is one of the most commonly used techniques for compressor map width enhancement. Although the general mechanism of such a flow feature is well understood, there are no readily available design tools to guide the engineers at the preliminary design stage. Designers have had to rely on three-dimensional (3D) CFD tools to sort out many design variables, but these tools can be prohibitively expensive. This paper explains how to

Abstract:
Ground movements, such as landslides and subsidence/settlement, can pose serious threats to pipeline integrity. The consequence of these incidents can be severe. In the absence of systematic integrity management, preventing and predicting incidents related to ground movements can be difficult. A ground movement management program can reduce the potential of those incidents. Some basic concepts and terms relevant to the management of ground movement hazards are introduced first. A ground movement management program may involve a long segment of a pipeline that may have a threat of failure in un

Full text
Abstract:
In-Line inspection tools (ILI) including Magnetic Flux Leakage (MFL) and Ultrasonic (UT) technologies are commonly used to detect/measure potential anomalies in oil and gas pipelines. Some of ILI reported anomalies are usually selected for excavation and validated through field non-destructive examination techniques (NDE). It is a fact that both ILI and NDE readings are contaminated with measurement errors. Such errors are usually originated from inherent tool limitations and capabilities, measurement techniques, and/or human factors. The intend of this paper is to calibrate the corrosion ILI

Abstract:
Detailed studies performed to design works at river crossings provide all the information needed to asses hydro technical hazards. TGN performed such studies for critical rivers as part of its Integrity Management Program. By monitoring performance of remediation works, experience was built throughout 10 years comprising different hydrological years. This was the base for the development of a simpler methodology aimed at assessing risk using information that can be readily available in regions such as Latin America where the existence of gaging stations and historic records at most rivers are

Full text
Abstract:
Steel catenary risers (SCRs) are commonly used for deepwater oil and gas developments and the most economic material of construction is generally carbon manganese (C-Mn) steel. These risers suffer cyclic loading principally due to vessel movements, and vortex induced vibration (VIV) from passage of marine currents. For this reason, close attention is paid to fatigue design and girth weld quality, and fatigue testing is commonly carried out on procedure test welds. A further advantage of C-Mn steel is that good quality welds can readily be made, and more importantly, freedom from defects can be
