We examine the relationship between children's kindergarten attention skills and developmental patterns of classroom engagement throughout elementary school in disadvantaged urban neighbourhoods. Kindergarten measures include teacher ratings of classroom behavior, direct assessments of number knowledge and receptive vocabulary, and parent-reported family characteristics. From grades 1 through 6...

As pointed out by Lingenfelter and Ramaty (1977), the shapes of some γ-ray lines produced by cosmic-ray interactions with the interstellar medium potentially contain valuable information on the physical properties of dust grains, including their compositions and size distributions. The most promising of such lines are at 847, 1369, 1779 and 6129 keV, from Fe*, Mg*, Si* and O*, respectively. We ...

A survey which included a series of demographic questions, a brief clinical history, and pictures of eight radiographs was mailed to 2000 general dentists and 1000 pediatric dentists. Usable responses were received from 1369 (45%) dentists--765 (38%) general dentists, and 604 (60%) pediatric dentists. The dentists were asked to select the optimal treatment for a specified tooth in each radiogra...

In this work, we propose a new distance measure for comparing two protein structures based on their contact map representations. We show that our novel measure, which we refer to as the maximum contact map overlap (max-CMO) metric, satisfies all properties of a metric on the space of protein representations. Having a metric in that space allows one to avoid pairwise comparisons on the entire da...
