The natural phenomenon that this project deals with is wind. Wind is an invisible occurrence, so we decided to use sound to record the wind

A Multilevel Analysis of the Effect of Prompting Self-Regulation in Technology-Delivered Instruction

We used a within-subjects design and multilevel modeling in two studies to examine the effect of prompting self-regulation, an intervention designed to improve learning from technology-delivered instruction. The results of two studies indicate trainees who were prompted to self-regulate gradually improved their knowledge and performance over time, relative to the control condition. In addition, Study 2 demonstrated that trainees’ cognitive ability and self-efficacy moderated the effect of the prompts. Prompting self-regulation resulted in stronger learning gains over time for trainees with higher ability or higher self-efficacy. Overall, the two studies demonstrate that prompting self-regulation had a gradual, positive effect on learning, and the strength of the effect increased as trainees progressed through training. The results are consistent with theory suggesting self-regulation is a cyclical process that has a gradual effect on learning and highlight the importance of using a within-subjects design in self-regulation. research

Rare FMR1 gene mutations causing fragile X syndrome: A review

Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is the most common inherited form of intellectual disability, typically due to CGG-repeat expansions in the FMR1 gene leading to lack of expression. We identified a rare FMR1 gene mutation (c.413G&gt;A), previously reported in a single patient and reviewed the literature for other rare FMR1 mutations. Our patient at 10 years of age presented with the classical findings of FXS including intellectual disability, autism, craniofacial findings, hyperextensibility, fleshy hands, flat feet, unsteady gait, and seizures but without the typical CGG-repeat expansion. He had more features of FXS than the previously reported patient with the same mutation. Twenty individuals reported previously with rare missense or nonsense mutations or other coding disturbances of the FMR1 gene ranged in age from infancy to 50 years; most were verbal with limited speech, had autism and hyperactivity, and all had intellectual disability. Four of the 20 individuals had a mutation within exon 15, three within exon 5, and two within exon 2. The FMR1 missense mutation (c.413G&gt;A) is the same as in a previously reported male where it was shown that there was preservation of the post-synaptic function of the fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP), the encoded protein of the FMR1 gene was preserved. Both patients with this missense mutation had physical, cognitive, and behavioral features similarly seen in FXS

Professional Writing Students Learn Needs Analysis with Waterloo Writing Project

Students in English 4025, Theory and Practice of Writing, collaborated with the Waterloo Writing Project (WWP) to understand composition theory as it is enacted and practiced at WWP, to put those theories in context of wider practices, and to then articulate the needs for WWP moving forward. This led to articulating the need for a sound studio to support podcasting and music mixing which Dr. Grant\u27s current course also supports by securing costs for equipment, studio designs, potential funding sources, and continuing collaborative effort with WWP

Cyclopentadienide Ligand Cp^C– Possessing Intrinsic Helical Chirality and Its Ferrocene Analogues

The novel chiral cyclopentadiene-type ligand Cp^CH is accessible from dibenzosuberenone in a five-step sequence with overall yields of 64%. NMR spectroscopy as well as DFT calculations prove that the racemization of this compound is slow at room temperature. By deprotonation of Cp^CH and subsequent reaction with appropriate iron­(II) precursors, the novel ferrocene derivatives (Cp^C)₂Fe and (Cp^C)­Fe­(⁴Cp) are accessible in good yields. The latter could structurally be characterized by means of single-crystal X-ray crystallography. Mössbauer spectroscopy proves the ferrocene nature of (Cp^C)₂Fe and (Cp^C)­Fe­(⁴Cp), and electrochemical investigations carried out with (Cp^C)­Fe­(⁴Cp) show that the compound is, as expected, more easily oxidized than ferrocene
