Radon remediation in schools was identified early on as a potential priority for governments. The exposure reduction attributable to schools remediation can be substantial (1). Epidemiological and technical radon research has produced information which has enabled attention to be turned to specific effectiveness questions regarding radon identification and remediation programmes in buildings, i...

We present an empirical approach to adaptively selecting a tutoring system’s remediation strategy based on an annotated corpus of human-human tutorial dialogues. We are interested in the remediation selection problem, that of generating the best remediation strategy given a diagnosis for an incorrect answer and the current problem solving context. By comparing the use of individual remediation ...

in recent decades, attention to contamination propagation into soils and underground water has increased, which has led to a rise in the studies on soil contamination problems and methods of in-situ remediation. in this research, effective parameters on oil contamination propagation in soils and underground water have been investigated using fem in order to determine propagation patterns. the m...

Cognitive deficits in schizophrenia are pervasive, severe, and largely independent of the positive and negative symptoms of the illness. These deficits are increasingly considered to be core features of schizophrenia with evidence that the extent of cognitive impairment is the most salient predictor of daily functioning. Unfortunately, current schizophrenia treatment has been limited in address...

BACKGROUND With the increasing use of competency-based evaluations we now have more and better ways to identify performance deficiencies in our learners. Yet the emphasis placed on identifying deficiencies appears to exceed that given to improving these deficiencies. AIMS Here we describe the program at the University of Calgary for mentoring students with repeated performance deficiencies. W...

Electrokinetic remediation technology is one of the developing technologies that offers great promise for the cleanup of soils contaminated with heavy metals. However, the performance of an electrokinetic remediation system depends on the interaction of a complex set of interrelated system variables and parameters. Many of these interactions were addressed in this study by incorporating geochem...

BACKGROUND the Phonological and Reading Remediation Program in learning disabilities. AIM to verify therapeutic effectiveness of the Phonological and Reading Remediation Program in students with learning disabilities. METHOD participants of this study were 40 students who were divided in the following groups: GI, subdivided in: GIE (10 students without learning disabilities submitted to the...

Objectives. This study is aimed to review the current scientific literature on cognitive remediation in schizophrenia. In particular, the main structured protocols of cognitive remediation developed for schizophrenia are presented and the main results reported in recent meta-analyses are summarized. Possible benefits of cognitive remediation in the early course of schizophrenia and in subjects ...

370 MODEL DEVELOPMENT AND SIMULATION OF IN SITU STABILIZATION IN LEAD-CONTAMINATED SOILS Z. Shi and L.E. Erickson 105 Durland Hall, Department of Chemical Engineering, Kansas State University, Manhattan, KS 66506; Phone: (785) 532-4323, Email: [email protected]; Phone: (785) 532-4313, Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT Stabilization and remediation of lead-contaminated soils have received considerable ...

A highly oil-polluted soil from Krasnoe in North-West Russia was used to investigate the degradation of organic pollutants during electrodialytic remediation. Removal efficiencies were up to 70 % for total hydrocarbons (THC) and up to 65 % for polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). Relatively more of the lighter PAH compounds and THC fractions were degraded. A principal component analysis (PCA) revea...
