Japanese Parents’ Explanations of Disabilities to Siblings of Children with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities

One form of support that has been demonstrated to reduce psychological burden in siblings of children with intellectual and developmental disabilities is an explanation of the disability. By clarifying the actual conditions in which parents explain their child’s disability to siblings, the goal of this study is to support parents in promoting open communication in the family environment. A semi-structured interview was conducted with five parents of children with disabilities aged 2–6 years who were attending daycare or preschool at private educational institutions. Interviews were analyzed using a grounded theory approach. A primary reason for parents explaining their child’s disability to siblings was their belief that siblings may already have known about the disability, and they wanted to answer any questions that may have arisen. After parents explained the disability, some mothers noticed no changes in the siblings, but others reported that siblings asked more questions about the child with disabilities and expressed a desire to help support them. It is recommended that Japanese parents of children with disabilities receive information on available support systems provided by educational institutions and government/administrative agencies

Evaluation of wide-area distributed services by SDN-FIT system

A wide area distributed application is affected by network failure due to natural disasters because the servers on which the application operates are distributed geographically in a wide area. Failure Injection Testing (FIT) is a method for verifying fault tolerance of widely distributed applications. In this paper, by limiting network failures to the connection line, whole FIT scenarios are generated and exhaustive evaluation of fault tolerance is performed. Authors evaluate the visualization method of performance data obtained from this evaluation and the reduction of the fault tolerance evaluation cost by the proposed method

Use of EO-1 Hyperion Data for Inter-Sensor Calibration of Vegetation Indices

Numerous satellite sensor systems useful in terrestrial Earth observation and monitoring have recently been launched and their derived products are increasingly being used in regional and global vegetation studies. The increasing availability of multiple sensors offer much opportunity for vegetation studies aimed at understanding the terrestrial carbon cycle, climate change, and land cover conversions. Potential applications include improved multiresolution characterization of the surface (scaling); improved optical-geometric characterization of vegetation canopies; improved assessments of surface phenology and ecosystem seasonal dynamics; and improved maintenance of long-term, inter-annual, time series data records. The Landsat series of sensors represent one group of sensors that have produced a long-term, archived data set of the Earth s surface, at fine resolution and since 1972, capable of being processed into useful information for global change studies (Hall et al., 1991)

Pressure Study of BiS2-Based Superconductors Bi4O4S3 and La(O,F)BiS2

We report the electrical resistivity measurements under pressure for the recently discovered BiS2-based layered superconductors Bi4O4S3 and La(O,F)BiS2. In Bi4O4S3, the transition temperature Tc decreases monotonically without a distinct change in the metallic behavior in the normal state. In La(O,F)BiS2, on the other hand, Tc initially increases with increasing pressure and then decreases above ? 1 GPa. The semiconducting behavior in the normal state is suppressed markedly and monotonically, whereas the evolution of Tc is nonlinear. The strong suppression of the semiconducting behavior without doping in La(O,F)BiS2 suggests that the Fermi surface is located in the vicinity of some instability. In the present study, we elucidate that the superconductivity in the BiS2 layer favors the Fermi surface at the boundary between the semiconducting and metallic behaviors.Comment: 4 pages, 6 figures, Accepted for publication in J.
