The State of Hispanic Education in Kentucky School Districts
The study was designed to provide information on the state of Hispanic education in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. The data were obtained from Kentucky school Superintendents or their designees in 175 public school districts through a survey (12 questions) mailed in late spring, 2007. We received responses from 136 Kentucky public school districts for a 77.7% return percent
Postcard: Castle Kimble, Manhattan, Kansas
This colorized photographic postcard features a castle located in Manhattan Kansas. It is a two story limestone structure with three turrets on the third story. Two American flags are on top. The building is surrounded by a manicured lawn and trees. Red print is at the top of the card. Printed text and handwriting is on the back of the card.https://scholars.fhsu.edu/tj_postcards/1628/thumbnail.jp
Hierarchical clustering-based segmentation (HCS) aided interpretation of the DCE MR Images of the Prostate
In Dynamic Contrast Enhanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (DCE-MRI) for prostate cancer, there is early intense enhancement and rapid washout of contrast material, due to the heterogeneous and leaky characteristics of the tumour angiogenesis. These characteristics can be demonstrated by the quantitative measurement of signal enhancement with time (Time Intensity Curve). The TIC is plotted for the pixels', averaged intensity value, within a user drawn Region of Interest (ROI). The ROI, normally chosen within an area of the largest enhancement, may enclose tissues of different enhancement pattern. Hence the averaged TIC from the ROI may not represent the actual characteristics of the enclosed tissue of interest.
Hierarchical Clustering-based Segmentation (HCS) is an approach to Computer Aided Monitoring (CAM) that generates a hierarchy of segmentation results to highlight the varied dissimilarities in images. As a diagnostic aid for the analysis of DCE-MR image data, the process starts with the HCS process applied to all the DCE-MR temporal frames of a slice. HCS process output provides heat map images based on the normalised average pixel value of the various dissimilar regions. TIC of the contrast wash-in, wash-out process are then plotted for suspicious regions confirmed by the user. In this paper we have demonstrated how the HCS process as asemi-quantitative analytical tool to analyse the DCE MR images of the Prostate complements the radiologist's interpretation of DCE MR images
A history of parent involvement in organized youth sport:A scoping review
A fundamental step in describing a research ļ¬eld is the review and synthesis of accumulated knowledge. Multiple qualitative reviews have been conducted over the last decade to provide a summary and commentary on the growing literature in the area of youth sport parenting. However, these reviews have focused on contemporary ļ¬ndings in the ļ¬eld, largely ignoring work in the area that began in the late 1960s. In light of this underdiscussed history, there remains a need to highlight the historical foundations of the youth sport parenting literature, the transitions that shaped the trajectory of work, as well as the contemporary research that informs our current understanding. The purpose of this scoping review was to provide a historical analysis of the literature on parent involvement in organized youth sport. In conducting the analysis, we identiļ¬ed key concepts and trajectories that deļ¬ne the ļ¬eldās foundational (1968ā1981), transitional (1982ā1998), and contemporary (1999ā2020) periods. Speciļ¬cally, this review not only sought to deļ¬ne and summarize these periods of research but also to use the synthesized knowledge to frame remaining gaps and potential future directions for the ļ¬eld

Non-Local thermal equilibrium spectra of atmospheric molecules for exoplanets
Here we present a study of non-LTE effects on the exoplanetary spectra of a
collection of molecules which are key in the investigation of exoplanet
atmospheres: water, methane, carbon monoxide and titanium oxide. These
molecules are chosen as examples of different spectral ranges (IR and UV),
molecular types (diatomics and polyatomics) and spectral types (electronic and
ro-vibrational); the importance of different vibrational bands in forming
distinct non-LTE spectral features are investigated. Most notably, such key
spectral signatures for distinguishing between the LTE and non-LTE cases
include: for CH4 the 3.15 m band region; for H2O the 2.0 m and 2.7
m band regions; for TiO, a strong variation in intensity in the bands
between 0.5 and 0.75 m; and a sole CO signature between 5 and 6 m.
The analysis is based on the ExoMol cross sections and takes advantage of the
extensive vibrational assignment of these molecular line lists in the ExoMol
database. We examine LTE and non-LTE cross sections under conditions consistent
with those on WASP-12b and WASP-76b using the empirically motivated
bi-temperature Treanor model. In addition, we make a simplistic forward model
simulation of transmission spectra for H2O in the atmosphere of WASP-12b using
the TauREx 3 atmospheric modelling code
