Maximum RMS error comparison of several redundancy techniques

Paper presents mathematical comparison of several techniques with the limiting slope technique for data reduction and reconstruction. Limiting slope method results in maximum possible RMS error versus data compression ratio advantage of 2-to-1 over step and fan methods and 3-to-1 over the two point projection method

PROJECTED COSTS AND RETURNS - SUGARCANE, LOUISIANA, 2001.

This report presents estimates of costs and returns associated with sugarcane production practices in Louisiana for 2001. It is part of a continuing effort to provide farmers, researchers, extension personnel, lending agencies and others working in agriculture and/or agribusiness timely planning information. Sugarcane production is unique in that it is a perennial crop grown in a rotation; processing, storage and marketing services are provided by a single entity and payments for said services are "in kind." Further, the large majority of growers are tenants, paying approximately 20 percent of the "after milling crop proceeds" (12.2% of gross production) for land. Returns shown in Table 1A-3C and in the whole farm analysis in Appendix A reflect returns to management and risk. No charges for family living expenses or management are included as a cost in this analysis.Farm Management,

Why Teachers Feel Unprepared to Address the Social and Emotional Needs of Students with Dyslexia

Students with dyslexia simultaneously struggle with both literacy acquisition and poor self-esteem and undergo social-emotional learning difficulties. The purpose of this qualitative descriptive study was to explore elementary general education teachers’ perceptions regarding the dyslexia training they received for addressing the social and emotional learning (SEL) needs of children with dyslexia. The conceptual framework guiding this study was the five core competencies for SEL developed by the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning. The researcher used a qualitative description research design involving semi structured interviews. The population included 10 elementary general education teachers who taught in first through fourth-grade classrooms in the southeast region of Texas. The overarching themes were the following: (a) The dyslexia training is missing the five competencies: The participants reported that none of CASEL’s five core competencies for SEL were addressed in their dyslexia training; (b) Used skills learned in other professional development to address the missing competencies: The participants reported using information from other professional development training to meet their students’ needs; (c) The dyslexia training needs to be revamped: The participants explicitly said the dyslexia training needed to be changed. The participants confirmed the gap in the literature regarding their learning needs and dyslexia training provided. The researcher created a framework, based on the findings, to guide training that can effectively address CASEL’s five core competencies within several modules. Finally, the results of this study revealed the need for further research with a focus on helping teachers understand how to develop SEL skills in their students with dyslexia
