Coupling between software modules has been shown to be deleterious to both software quality and maintainability. Common coupling (two or more modules sharing a global variable, or GV) is a particularly strong (and therefore ...

The author presented an examination of teachers’ use of praise and reprimands in relation to student behaviors for students identified as exhibiting problem behaviors. Data were examined from student-centered observations ...

Product design has become more complex in recent decades. Several design methods and processes have been developed to reduce the design complexity to a manageable level. Model-based systems engineering leverages these ...

Ultra-high field (UHF; 7 Tesla and higher) MRI provides enhanced sensitivity, contrast, and spatial resolution for neuroimaging exams than lower-field scanners. However, at the high Larmor frequencies of UHF scanners, ...

Studies of cortical architecture have been used to subdivide cortex into areas of presumed functional significance and reveal features of areal differentiations across species. In the present studies, cortical architectures ...

The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of verbal rehearsal and graduated guidance as methods of teaching participants who were blind the chained behavior of street crossing. The participants ranged from ...

An increasing body of literature suggests that the human microbiome can be used to identify and predict the development of many diseases. Machine learning algorithms are often used to facilitate the disease-classification ...

Soft errors induced by radiation particles are increasingly becoming a source of concern for reliable design of VLSI systems. An important parameter to quantify the soft error response of a system is Architectural ...

Leaching tests are important laboratory tools that provide a method to determine the leachability and mobility of contaminants in the environment. Although a wide variety of leaching tests are available in the literature, ...
