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.

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...

Objectives There is a growing body of evidence suggesting that barriers to functional recovery are associated with a host of neurocognitive impairments in both the early and later course of schizophrenia. Given the significant influence of cognitive functions on daily functioning, several cognitive training approaches have been developed to improve cognitive deficits in schizophrenia. Increasin...

When investigating the treatment of contaminated soils, the application of biotreatment is growing rapidly. Factors influencing this rapid growth include that the bioremediation processes are cost-efficient, safe, and nature-based. In the past, thermal, chemical, and physical treatment methods have failed to eliminate the pollution problem because those methods only shift the pollution to a new...

This paper reviews contamination status, sources and remediation of heavy metals in agricultural land of most Asian countries, with an emphasis to China, which are undergoing rapid economic development. Some farmland soil in suburbs of most cities and sewage irrigation district in China are polluted to some extend with heavy metals such as Cd, As, Zn, Cu, and Hg, consequently resulting in metal...

Groundwater microbial community samples are traditionally collected using pumping techniques optimized for groundwater chemistry assessment although the impact of groundwater pumping parameters on apparent bacterial community structures (BCS) is not really known. We therefore studied the impact of pumping lift, flow regime and tubing material on BCS, which were analyzed by terminal-restriction ...

the modulation response, relative intensity noise and frequency noise characteristics of qd lasers are investigated theoretically, in presence of an additional optical pumping. it is revealed that the modulation response of qd laser enhances under additional optical beam. by small signal analysis of the carriers' and photons' rates, it is proposed that by injecting excess carriers to ...

Saltwater intrusion and upconing phenomena affect coastal aquifers worldwide. Over-exploitation leads to high salinity levels which threaten sustainable use of these freshwater resources. There is an increasing need to accurately, and practically, model the physics of these coastal pumping systems while also incorporating the relevant economics. We formalize a decision model able to define the ...
