Identifying Standards for the Training of Interpreters for Deaf People
Major findings of a national project on identifying standards for the training of interpreters for deaf people are presented. The data produced for this project was based on information collected from two separate national surveys during Summer and Fall, 1987. Selected findings on the student, faculty, and program characteristicsof51federal and non-federal sponsored interpreter training programs are presented. Attention is then directed to a summary of the opinions of a sample of403 interpreter educators, interpreting service professionals, and deaf and hearing consumers regarding desirable competencies for interpreter trainees to attain as part of their training. Finally, drawing on selected findings from the project, five (5) recommendations for future action are presented, with focus on the role of federal leadership in support of interpreter training
Outcomes in patients sustaining complex periarticular fracture-dislocations of the elbow [abstract]
Periarticular fracture-dislocations (dislocations associated with one or more fractures) of the elbow are difficult injuries to treat. They have historically been associated with poor treatment strategies which resulted in abysmal outcomes for patients. We aimed to review our management strategies for these complex injuries and patient outcomes
Affective state influences retrieval-induced forgetting for integrated knowledge
Selectively testing parts of learned materials can impair later memory for nontested materials. Research has shown that such retrieval-induced forgetting occurs for low-integrated materials but may be prevented for high-integrated materials. However, previous research has neglected one factor that is ubiquitous in real-life testing: affective stat
LEGUS Discovery of a Light Echo Around Supernova 2012aw
We have discovered a luminous light echo around the normal Type II-Plateau
Supernova (SN) 2012aw in Messier 95 (M95; NGC 3351), detected in images
obtained approximately two years after explosion with the Wide Field Channel 3
on-board the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) by the Legacy ExtraGalactic
Ultraviolet Survey (LEGUS). The multi-band observations span from the
near-ultraviolet through the optical (F275W, F336W, F438W, F555W, and F814W).
The apparent brightness of the echo at the time was ~21--22 mag in all of these
bands. The echo appears circular, although less obviously as a ring, with an
inhomogeneous surface brightness, in particular, a prominent enhanced
brightness to the southeast. The SN itself was still detectable, particularly
in the redder bands. We are able to model the light echo as the time-integrated
SN light scattered off of diffuse interstellar dust in the SN environment. We
have assumed that this dust is analogous to that in the Milky Way with R_V=3.1.
The SN light curves that we consider also include models of the unobserved
early burst of light from the SN shock breakout. Our analysis of the echo
suggests that the distance from the SN to the scattering dust elements along
the echo is ~45 pc. The implied visual extinction for the echo-producing dust
is consistent with estimates made previously from the SN itself. Finally, our
estimate of the SN brightness in F814W is fainter than that measured for the
red supergiant star at the precise SN location in pre-SN images, possibly
indicating that the star has vanished and confirming it as the likely SN
progenitor.Comment: 10 pages, 9 figures, to appear in the Astrophysical Journa
Failure of hydrogenation in protecting polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from fragmentation
A recent study of soft X-ray absorption in native and hydrogenated coronene
cations, CH , led to the conclusion that additional
hydrogen atoms protect (interstellar) Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH)
molecules from fragmentation [Reitsma et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 113, 053002
(2014)]. The present experiment with collisions between fast (30-200 eV) He
atoms and pyrene (CH, , 6, and 16) and simulations
without reference to the excitation method suggests the opposite. We find that
the absolute carbon-backbone fragmentation cross section does not decrease but
increases with the degree of hydrogenation for pyrene molecules.Comment: 10 pages, 5 figure
