The purpose of this study was to determine if taking part in a command-organized remedial physical condition program based on the OPNAVINST 6110.1 Basic Exercise Program (BEP) is effective in reducing body fat, improving failure-specific performance on components of the Physical Readiness Test (PRT), and improving overall physical fitness level. Pre- and post-program PRT results collected for p...

Dynamic security assessment (DSA) or transient security assessment (TSA) determines a system’s ability to survive contingencies with a safety factor (margin). To ensure that a system remains dynamically secure, preventive or corrective remedial actions are designed. Preventive actions are applied in the pre-contingency system so that after any credible contingency the system remains secure. Exa...

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a group of symptoms manifesting as a functional gastrointestinal (GI) disorder in which patients experience abdominal pain, discomfort, and bloating that is often relieved with defecation. IBS is often associated with a host of secondary comorbidities such as anxiety, depression, headaches, and fatigue. In this review, we examined the basic principles of Pancha...

students who receive remedial teaching aided by a digital teaching platform and students who receive traditional blackboard teaching to see whether the two groups of students show different learning outcomes. A total of 20 students at a junior high school in Miaoli County were selected as this study’s research participants. In this study, the Moodle software was used to build a digital teaching...

This paper includes an overview of curriculum information and the basic techniques of a multisensory approach for teaching alphabet and dictionary skills, reading, spelling, and cursive handwriting. It also reports the results of a four-year study of reading and spelling in both remedial and nonremedial classes in a public school. The California Achievement Test (CAT) scores in reading and spel...

A scheme of classification is suggested for physicians faced with clinicians' numerous and varied prescriptions for remedial management of children with learning disabilities. Three explanatory models of the causes of learning disability -- the difference, deficit and delay models -- and two strategies of management -- the process-oriented and goal-oriented -- are delineated. Remedial methods a...

This paper presents an approach to student’s errors diagnosis in intelligent tutoring systems and to the remedial instruction to overcome those errors. Our contribution aris es from two key components. Firstly, a diagnosis model, which based on the nature of the learner’s input, as well as its exercise knowledge model., uses Bayesian induction (a posteriori maximization) to find the most probab...

The paper discusses the background and major motivations which are driving the AuRoRA (Autonomous Robotic platform as a Remedial tool for children with Autism) research project. We argue that mobile robot technology can be used in a useful and scientifically challenging application area, namely the rehabilitation of children with autism. Initial steps of the development of a robotic platform as...

Site investigations of contaminated land are associated with high costs. From a societal perspective, just enough economic resources should be spent on investigations so that society's limited resources can be used optimally. The solution is to design investigation programs that are cost effective, which can be performed using value of information analysis (VOIA). The principle of VOIA is to co...

After diagnose the model and something was detected, there needs an adjustment for model fitting. For example, if non-equal variance happens, either use the transformation of response or other choices. If there are influential points in the dataset, we may try to avoid its influence by different fitting method (Robust Methods). If the relation between response and predictors are absolute not li...
