Delayed or disordered language is a characteristic of both autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and specific language impairment (SLI). In this paper, we describe our data set, which consists of transcribed data from a widely used clinical diagnostic instrument (the ADOS) for children with ASD and children with SLI. These transcripts are manually annotated with SALT, an annotation system that applies...

* Earlier versions of this paper were presented at the University of Cambridge Looking at Language Acquisition II Workshop (May 2001), Fourth Durham Postgraduate Conference in Theoretical and Applied Linguistics (June 2001) and Eurosla 11 (September 2001). I would like to thank the audiences for their insightful comments. My gratitude also goes to Roger Hawkins for his advice, to all the Spanis...

Systems science is defined in general fashion, and a brief background is provided that lists some of the systems science-related societies, conferences, journals, research institutes, and educational programs. The Systems Science Graduate Program at Portland State University in Portland, OR, USA, is described in detail, including its history, curriculum, students, faculty, and degrees granted. ...

An updated inventory of large branchiopods of the Western Maharashtra state, India is presented for the first time. Employing current identification keys, we have detailed the egg morphology of Eulimnadia indocylindrova, which shares some similarities with E. geayi from South America and E. alluaudi from Madagascar, based on these egg characters. A thorough re-description of few morphological t...

The definition and main results connected with Gröbner basis, Hilbert series and Anick's resolution are formulated. The method of the infinity behavior prediction of Gröbner basis in noncommu-tative case is presented. The extensions of BERGMAN package for IBM PC compatible computers are described. Let A =< X|R > be a finitely presented associative algebra over field K. Here are the main example...

A new solanocapsine-type tomato glycoside, a novel and interesting natural steroidal glycoside, was isolated from a mini tomato, Solanum lycopersicum L. The chemical structure of the new minor glycoside, esculeoside B-5 (3), was determined to be (5S,22R,23S,24R,25S)-22,26-epimino-16β,23-epoxy-3β,23,24-trihydroxycholestane 3-O-β-lycotetraoside.

Intersecting D-brane models provide an attractive explanation of family replication in the context of string theory. We show, however, that the localization of fermion families at different brane intersections in the extra dimensions introduces flavour changing neutral currents mediated by the Kaluza-Klein excitations of the gauge fields. This is a generic feature in these models, and it implie...

This study investigated how common online text aVects reading performance of elementary school-age children by examining the actual and perceived readability of four computer-displayed typefaces at 12and 14-point sizes. Twenty-seven children, ages 9 to 11, were asked to read eight children’s passages and identify erroneous/substituted words while reading. Comic Sans MS, Arial and Times New Roma...
