Abstract:
Good and poor readers in the sixth grade ( M age = 11.92 years) were videotaped reading inconsistent stories presented one sentence at a time. Children's comprehension evaluation was assessed with on-line (reading times) and verbal report measures; comprehension regulation was assessed by examining look-backs during reading. All children read inconsistencies more slowly than consistent control information but good readers were more likely than poor readers to look back at inconsistencies during reading, to give accurate verbal reports of passage consistency following reading, and to recall tex

Textbook discourse readability from the reader aspect especially among students with poor reading ability is rarely studied. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate textbook discourse readability among junior high school students with poor reading ability based on gender, reading interest, and family socio-economic status.

Abstract:
Although collegiate alcohol use has extensively been studied, there is a lack of research examining alcohol use in college students with learning disabilities (LD), particularly those with reading disabilities (RD). In youth populations there is mixed support indicating that students with LD are at an increased risk for alcohol use compared to students without LD. One theory suggests that LD may be indirectly related to alcohol use, but there does not appear to be research examining whether there is a direct pathway between LD and alcohol use.

Specific reading difficulty is the best known, and best studied, form of specific learning difficulty. This is the condition that many refer to as ‘dyslexia’. We will define specific reading difficulty as a significant, unexplained delay in reading in a child of average, or above average, intelligence. A significant delay is usually defined as a reading level more than two standard deviations below the mean for the child’s age (see Chapter 1, p. 5 for the explanation of this term).

Reading is an essential skill for literacy development in children. But it is a challenge for children with dyslexia because of phonological-core deficits. Poor reading skills have an impact on vocabulary development and to exposure to relevant background knowledge. It affects the ability to interpret what one sees and hears or the ability to link information from different parts of the brain. Dyslexic children face many challenges in their educational life due to reading difficulty.

Abstract:
Customer service text data is known as the dialogue text data between users and customer service provider, and it contains a large amount of user information. The effective use of customer service text content can bring great business plan optimization to the service provider. Based on the traditional machine reading comprehension model, this paper builds a customer service text user's attribute label recognition model, and proposes a model pre-training method based on sentence-level pre-training technology: aiming at the background of poor performance of the model in answering comprehensive f

Abstract:
The schooling system plays a significant role in teaching basic literacy skills such as reading and writing, yet students from al schooling backgrounds find it challenging to uphold an acceptable standard of academic writing in higher education in comparison with their advantaged peers. The fact that universities have adopted English as the medium for teaching and learning purposes makes it difficult for students to demonstrate the ability to write in their own words, as they are second or third language speakers. Student success at institutions of higher learning depends largely on the adequa

Abstract:
In the history of optical disks, two flavors of usages have been proposed and implemented. The one usage is for the Audio-Visual use, such as Mini Disk, Compact Disk (CD) and their family. The other usage is for computer peripherals, such as MO disk conformable to ISO standard. One significant difference in these two usages is characterized by the linear-velocity in reading and recording. The former media is used at a low linear-velocity of less than 10m/s and suitable for real-time operation. The latter is used at higher linear-velocity of more than 10m/s to achieve high data transfer rate. P

Abstract:
Abstract The most common challenge in horizontal drilling is depth uncertainty which can be due to poor seismic data or interpretation. It is arguable that a successful landing of the wellbore in the reservoir optimally and within the desired zone is the most challenging in most geosteering operation. The presence of fluid contacts such as oil-water-contact (OWC) and gas-oil-contact (GOC) complicates the whole drilling process, most especially if these fluid contacts are not well defined or known. Additionally, the ability to map the boundaries of the reservoir as the BHA drills the lateral se

Abstract:
Human platelets aggregated by thrombin (T) under conditions in which the release reaction (RR) occurs to only a small extent can be deaggregated by agents that dissociate 125I-fibrinogen bound to platelets. In contrast, when platelets undergo the RR, they cannot be reading deaggregated even though combinations of inhibitors cause 125I-fibrinogen to dissociate. Therefore, material released from platelet granules seems to stabilize aggregates. T-induced aggregates of washed platelets deficient in fibrinogen or von Willebrand factor cannot be deaggregated readily by deaggregating agents, implying

Abstract:
Abstract Poor posture leading to neck and back pain can be caused by long hours sitting in front of computer screens in ergonomically inadequate office furniture or in makeshift home offices. For most individuals, recognizing and correcting for poor posture is an uncommon practice. Poor seated posture is characterized by protracted scapulae, increased kyphosis, and a flexed lumbar spine. Toward a wearable system that performs continuous monitoring, we developed a textile sensor embedded garment. Using textile sensors sewn into a shirt, we test the capability of our design to read curvatures re
