Parent involvement (PI) in school is associated with more positive academic performance and social competence in children. However, there are inadequacies in current measures of PI and a need for a better understanding of predictors of PI. In this study, measures were obtained from a normative sample of 387 children in kindergarten and first grade from high-risk neighborhoods in 4 different sit...

Light-initiated additive manufacturing techniques typically rely on layer-by-layer addition or continuous extraction of polymers formed via nonliving, free radical polymerization methods that render the final materials "dead" toward further monomer insertion; the polymer chains within the materials cannot be reactivated to induce chain extension. An alternative "living additive manufacturing" s...

[Cp(*)RhCl(PTA)(2)]X (PTA = 7-phospha-1,3,5-triazaadamantane) undergoes an H/D exchange process between the methyl groups of Cp(*) and D(2)O whose rate depends on the coordinating ability of the counterion X(-). Kinetic studies and DFT calculations indicate that deuteration involves the abstraction of a Me-Cp(*) proton by a coordinated OH(-); the formation of the latter seems to be facilitated ...

AIM To determine the effect of parent education on adaptive behaviour, autism symptoms and cognitive/language skills of young children with autistic disorder. METHOD A randomised group comparison design involving a parent education and counselling intervention and a parent education and behaviour management intervention to control for parent skills training and a control sample. Two rural and...

Using hierarchical structurings in process design is a frequent process modeling technique. Subprocesses are a common way to enable hierarchical structuring. Current approaches have a tight view on the syntactical restrictions of subprocesses and do not investigate different autonomy properties in detail. This paper fills this gap and broadens the current subprocess definition to a spectrum of ...
