OBJECTIVE Presence of Specific Learning Disorder (SLD) can be extremely frustrating for a child. The present study aimed to assess the levels of resilience, depression, anxiety and stress among children and adolescents having SLD and to compare with those having Borderline Intellectual Functioning (BIF). It also aimed to evaluate the parental awareness about their child's learning disorder. M...

This report presents a full formalization of the operational semantics of deenite programs (used in logic programming), given by SLD-Resolution. The variables renaming process used during a SLD-derivation is completely deened in an explicit manner. Furthermore, constructive proofs of two well known lemmas (lifting lemma and switching lemma) are built from this formalization in the calculus of i...

Abstract An evaluation of the effects different ice configurations on flight characteristics a fixed-wing aircraft is presented. Within joint research project German Aerospace Center (DLR) and Brazilian manufacturer Embraer simulation models three supercooled large droplet (SLD) were developed for one Phenom 300 prototype. A specific test campaign with artificial SLD shapes was conducted to gat...

Hydroelectric energy is an increasingly vital and effective renewable for modern society. The protective effect on the water hammer in pipeline, operational stability of hydropower system, flow regime air-cushion surge chamber (ACSC) are three main problems during design station with ACSC. Comprehensively comparing above issues between horizontal vertical ACSCs meaningful. This study establishe...

In [7] Maria I. Sessa extended the SLD resolution principle with the ability of performing approximate reasoning and flexible query answering. The operational mechanism of similarity-based SLD resolution can be used as the basis for a new logic language that allows to manage uncertain and imprecise information in a declarative framework, hence its importance. Similarity-based SLD resolution can...

Supersonic Laser Deposition (SLD) is a coating and fabrication process combining cold spray (CS) with laser heating of the deposition zone. increases deformation on impact, improving bonding for given particle velocity, eliminating need to use helium while retaining advantages CS; solid-state deposition, low oxidation high build rate (≤ 10 kg/hr). Although solid lubricants offer over liquid lub...

OBJECTIVES To determine whether cyclophosphamide is beneficial for patients with scleroderma lung disease (SLD). METHODS The effect of 6 months' treatment with intravenous cyclophosphamide on the functional capacity of patients, lung function tests, high resolution computed tomography of the lungs, and cytology of bronchoalveolar lavage was evaluated in 21 patients with SLD. RESULTS The tre...
