Parents of 135 children with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA) completed a mailed questionnaire about problems at school. Writing was the most frequently reported difficulty, with hand involvement causing more problems than decreased mobility. Compared to children with pauciarticular JRA, those with polyarticular or systemic JRA were significantly more likely to miss school, experience proble...

Age of majority refers to when a state legally considers person be an “adult.” For young adults with extensive support needs, this is often time individualized education program (IEP) teams discuss issues related student decision-making, guardianship, and alternatives guardianship. The purpose article provide IEP considerations prepare families (i.e., parents their needs) for age majority. five...

An Individualized Education Program (IEP) is essential for both assisting students to meet their needs and enabling professionals evaluate the students’ progress. The purpose of this study was enhance teacher candidates’ performance writing IEP goals objectives by using interactive feedback procedures. Seventy-three pre-service teachers in elementary education program participated study. They w...

In this paper, we first give the solvability condition for the following inverse eigenproblem (IEP): given a set of vectors {xi}i=1 in Cn and a set of complex numbers {λi}i=1, find a centrosymmetric or centroskew matrix C in Rn×n such that {xi}i=1 and {λi}i=1 are the eigenvectors and eigenvalues of C respectively. We then consider the best approximation problem for the IEPs that are solvable. M...

Interaction forces between a fluorite (CaF2) surface and colloidal silica were measured by atomic force microscopy (AFM) in 1 x 10(-3) M NaNO3 at different pH values. Forces between the silica colloid and fluorite flat were measured at a range of pH values above the isoelectric point (IEP) of silica so that the forces were mainly controlled by the fluorite surface charge. In this way, the IEP o...
