This investigation assessed effects of three increasingly inclusive versions of the Behavioral Consultation (BC) model on problem behavior of students in mainstream classrooms in an effort to develop an effective and efficient approach to prereferral intervention. Subjects were 43 general educators, their 43 most difficult-to-teach students (without disabilities), and 12 school consultants, rep...

As part of the adoption of the 2005 Building Energy Efficiency Standards, the California Energy Commission adopted Joint Appendix IV, which contains standard U-factor, C-factor and Thermal Mass data for roof, wall and floor construction assemblies (see page IV-1 of the Joint Appendices at: http://www.energy.ca.aov/title24/2005standards/2004-10-06 400-03-001JAF.PDF). The data in Joint Appendix I...

A self-regulatory framework for distinguishing between shame and guilt was tested in three studies. Recently, two forms of moral regulation based on approach versus avoidance motivation have been proposed in the literature. Proscriptive regulation is sensitive to negative outcomes, inhibition based, and focused on what we should not do. Prescriptive regulation is sensitive to positive outcomes,...

Prescriptive maintenance has recently attracted a lot of scientific attention. It integrates the advantages descriptive and predictive analytics to automate process detecting non nominal device functionality. Implementing such proactive measures in home or industrial settings may improve equipment dependability minimize operational expenses. There are several techniques for prescriptive diverse...

Problem definition: We consider the case of prescriptive policing, that is, data-driven assignment police cars to different areas a city. analyze key problems with respect prediction, optimization, and evaluation as well trade-offs between quality measures crime types. Academic/practical relevance: Data-driven analytics is gaining substantial attention in operations management research, effecti...

We investigate the consequences of elliptic leading singularities for unitarity-based representations two-loop amplitudes in planar, maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. show that diagonalizing with respect to these ensures integrand basis is termwise pure (suitably generalized, multiple polylogarithms, as necessary). also an alternative strategy based on a integrands differential forms;...
