This report provides a description of the development process, field testing, and psychometric properties of a student mathematics test designed to assess grades 3, 4, and 5 student abilities. The test was administered to 2, 754...
We studied the impact of a long-term teacher professional development program on elementary school mathematics achievement five years after the initial randomization using an intent-to-treat approach and all available achievement data...
A purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash would allow onlinepayments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through afinancial institution. Digital signatures provide part of the solution, but the mainbenefits...
Implications Of Radiocarbon Ages Of Organic And Inorganic Carbon In Coastal Lakes In Florida For Establishing A Reliable Chronology For Sediment-based Paleoclimate Reconstruction
Coastal lake sediments are valuable paleoclimate archives provided that they can be accurately dated. Here, we report radiocarbon ages of bulk sediment organic matter (OM), plants, shells, particulate OM, and dissolved OM from coastal...
The Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine is a worldwide organization of physicians dedicated to the promotion, protection and support of breastfeeding and human lactation. Our mission is to unite into one association members of the various...
Cannabis use disorders (CUDs) co-occur with anxiety disorders at high rates, presumably because some individuals with anxiety disorders may rely on cannabis to manage anxiety. Motivation enhancement therapy (MET) combined with cognitive...
