Smart classroom has been a boon in the field of education. But when it comes to individual evaluation of education and development of kids in a classroom, this would require one to one intervention. KIDS is an Android based kids educational evaluation system we propose to implement over Wi-Fi Direct to be deployed in a smart classroom environment to evaluate and help kids to improve their learn...

Serum copper determination is important to confirm hypocupremia. Twenty healthy kids constituted the Control Group, and sixteen kids with symptoms of copper deficiency, the Problem Group. Animals from the Problem Group showed a low number of red blood cells (RBC) and variations in RBC size and shape. The values found for hemoglobin and mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH) in the Control Group were...

The Kestrel Interactive Development System (KIDS) provides knowledge-based support for the derivation of correct and efficient programs from formal specifications. We trace the use of KIDS in deriving an algorithm for solving a problem arising from the design of sonar and radar signals. This derivation illustrates algorithm design, a generalized form of deductive inference, program simplificati...

Mutations in the GJB2 gene (Cx26) cause deafness in humans. Most are loss-of-function mutations and cause nonsyndromic deafness. Some mutations produce a gain of function and cause syndromic deafness associated with skin disorders, such as keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness syndrome (KIDS). Cx26-G45E is a lethal mutation linked to KIDS that forms constitutively active connexin hemichannels. The path...

K-12 schools need effective methods for delivering technology and character education. In this paper, we describe the iterative design, use, and evaluation of a tool that enables kids to construct animated vignettes expressing personal experiences. By building, sharing, and responding to vignettes, kids become engaged in reflection and problem solving moral and social issues, activities that bu...

Individuals around the world believe global climate change is a major threat, with media attention and polling suggesting young adults may decide to go childfree as result. Yet, there limited research on link between environmental concern reproductive attitudes. The purpose of this was explore how change-related concerns affect attitudes motivations remain childfree. Two studies were conducted:...

In this demonstration, we show various querying capabilities of an application called AIDA. AIDA is developed to help the study of attention disorder in kids. In a different study [1], we collected several immresive sensory data streams from kids monitored in an immersive application called the virtual classroom. This dataset, termed immersidata is used to analyze the behavior of kids in the vi...

The aim of the present study was to study the effects of social instability (regrouping) during the second trimester (7 weeks) of pregnancy on aggression, cortisol concentrations and growth in goats and its consequences for survival, growth and some aspects of behavioural development in the kids. Six weeks after mating, 32 goats were distributed into eight groups. In four of the groups, randoml...

So on average, a woman with more than two kids works 6 weeks fewer than her counterpart with fewer than 2 kids. The result changes a little after we include age as the regressor. The question is, does this correlation imply causality? So the key regressor is morekids. The main concern is that morekids may be endogenous, i.e., correlated with the error term, due to simultaneity or omitted variab...
