Objectives: This study aimed at adapting and examining the applicability of the Teach-Model-Coach-Review model of the enhanced milieu teaching (EMT) approach for improving Iranian mothers’ language strategies while interacting with their toddlers with expressive language delay. Methods: In a single-subject multiple-baseline across-behavior study, the mothers of 3 toddlers with expressive langu...

In this research, two new methods that improve the drawing depth of deep-drawing processes have been introduced. In the first technique, by creating ridges on the punch surface, the stress concentration is decreased on the blank near the punch edge, in turn increasing the drawing depth. The second method is based on the principle of reducing resistant force in the flange area between the die, t...

Title of Document: LONGITUDINAL SPACE-CHARGE WAVES INDUCED BY ENERGY MODULATIONS Brian L. Beaudoin, Master of Science, 2008 Directed By: Professor Patrick G. O’Shea and Professor Rami A. Kishek Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering High intensity beams that are space-charge dominated are important for applications such as free electron lasers that require high intensity and low emit...

Electronic Orientation Aids (EOA) usually guide visually impaired pedestrians using turn-by-turn instructions. However, several studies have demonstrated that mental representations of space seem difficult to build when turn-by-turn instructions only are provided. This is a crucial point as getting an accurate spatial representation of the surroundings can make the difference between successful...

A fast photodiode was demonstrated to be able to extract the turn by turn photon beam profile information of electron storage rings if the photodiode was operated at the saturated region. When applied this method to a 1.3 GeV synchrotron light source with 200 mA beam current, the synchrotron radiation intensity is not intense enough to saturate the photodiode. To apply this method to the type o...

Copy Summary: It has been found that humans not only tend to avoid the middle routes and prefer the peripheral routes among multiple choices, but also rely on the ‘initial segment strategy’ to select the route. In this paper, we propose a new heuristic which humans apply during route selection: Participants prefer the route whose initial direction lies in the direction of their final destinatio...
