Secondary school administrators are increasingly finding themselves in the position of implementing Response to Intervention (RTI). This system of providing progressively intensive levels of intervention for the purposes of preventing academic failure and identifying children with learning disability may be useful at the secondary level. However, many aspects of RTI are based on research conduc...

This article provides a snapshot of how all 50 states are progressing with the development and implementation of responseto-intervention (RtI) models 1 year after the final regulations for the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act were passed. Data were collected through a review of existing state department of education Web sites and conversations with representatives in each state depar...

This paper develops a model of standardized reproductive tract infection (RTI) management in the public sector using guidelines prepared by the National AIDS Control Organization. It also discusses the costs of upscaling the service to similar sites in Sitapur and Agra districts of Uttar Pradesh, India. The model shown in the paper conceives providing RTI case management services at the block...

In 1994, a joint Japanese-American dive program utilizing the worlds deepest diving active research submersible (SHINKAI 6500) was carried out at the western ridge-transform intersection (RTI) of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and Kane transform in the central North Atlantic Ocean. A total of 15 dives were completed along with surface-ship geophysical mapping of bathymetry, magnetic and gravity fields....

We report our results from a set of high-resolution, two-fluid, non-linear simulations the magnetized Rayleigh Taylor instability (RTI) at interface between solar prominence and corona. These data follow reported earlier on linear early RTI dynamics in this environment. This paper is focused generation amplification magnetic structures by RTI. The use two-fluid model that includes collisions ne...

OBJECTIVES To quantify and describe the mechanism of road traffic injury (RTI) deaths in India. DESIGN We conducted a nationally representative mortality survey where at least two physicians coded each non-medical field staff's verbal autopsy reports. RTI mechanism data were extracted from the narrative section of these reports. SETTING 1.1 million homes in India. PARTICIPANTS Over 122 00...

INTRODUCTION There is accumulating evidence supporting the use of probiotics, which are defined as "live micro-organisms which, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host", as a preventive measure against respiratory tract infections (RTI). Two recent meta-analyses showed probiotic consumption (daily intake of 107 to 1010 CFU in any form for up to 3 months) signi...

This paper presents recent results concerning the realization of HLA RTIs in high-speed LAN environments. Specifically, the UK-RTI and a second, simplified RTI implementation were realized on a cluster of Sun workstations using Myrinet, a gigabit, low-latency interconnection switch developed by Myricomm Inc. The performance of these implementations was compared with the UK-RTI and version 1.3 o...

OBJECTIVE Previous studies have suggested anti-infection effects of vitamin D, although the associations reported between vitamin D (serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentration) and respiratory tract infection (RTI) are conflicting. The main aim of the present study was to explore this association in a Norwegian population. DESIGN We examined the association between serum 25(OH)D and re...

BACKGROUND Respiratory tract infection (RTI) is the commonest indication for community antibiotic prescriptions. Prescribing is rising and is influenced by patients' consulting behaviour and beliefs. AIM To build up a profile of the 'RTI clinical iceberg' by exploring how the general public manage RTI, visit GPs and why. DESIGN AND SETTING Two-phase qualitative and quantitative study in Eng...
