Adequate sleep is essential for child learning. However, school systems may inadvertently be promoting sleep deprivation through early school start times. The current study examines the potential implications of early school start times for standardized test scores in public elementary schools in Kentucky. Associations between early school start time and poorer school performance were observed ...

Technology leadership, an indication of managing all technology usage in schools, is an essential component of effective educational administration (Anderson & Dexter, 2005; Dawson & Rakes, 2003; Flanagan & Jacobsen, 2003; Geer, 2002; Hughes & Zachariah, 2001; Woelfel, Murray, & Hambright, 2004). School administrators with necessary skills of technology leadership are more likely to facilitate ...

The reports on familial Down's syndrome (mongolism) date in the medical literature from the 20th years of this century. Familial Down's syndrome is now well-described event but relatively rare. Penrose states that pairs of affected sibs appear about once for every 100 single cases of mongolism collected at random (quoted by Soltan et al. 1964). About two-thirds of the mongoloids are close relat...

The small x behaviour of the structure function h1(x,Q ) is studied within the leading logarithmic approximation of perturbative QCD. There are two contributions relevant at small x. The leading one behaves like ( 1 x ) i.e. it is just a constant in this limit. The second contribution, suppressed by one power of x, includes the terms summed by the GLAP equation. Thus for h1(x,Q ) the GLAP asymp...
