2-level, 2-level gain score, and 3-level hierarchical linear models were fit to data containing 2 years of standardized test results from a large Midwestern urban school district. First the models were fit including only initial score as a student level predictor of final score. Then, each model was fit adding race, socioeconomic status, and race and SES as student level predictors. Third, each...

Abstract In this article we propose a hybrid method based on local meshless and the Laplace transform for approximating solution of linear one dimensional partial differential equations in sense Caputo–Fabrizio fractional derivative. our numerical scheme is used to avoid time stepping procedure, produce sparse differentiation matrices ill conditioning issues resulting global methods. Our compri...

In this paper two linear arrays including a linear 1×4 and a planar 2×2 of microstrip patch and half-mode substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) cavity hybrid antenna are introduced and investigated. These are simply implemented using low cost single layer printed circuit board (PCB) process. The array element consists of a rectangular microstrip patch with appropriate dimensions in the vicinity ...
