The literature pertaining to training staff, parents, and peers to implement interventions for individuals with developmental disabilities was reviewed for training procedures that incorporated strategies to promote generalization. The search engines for the Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis and Pubmed© were used to find relevant studies. Studies met the inclusion criteria if they sufficient...

In this paper, we introduce a new entropy-like invariant, named Hausdorff metric entropy, for finitely generated semigroups acting on compact metric spaces from a set-valued view and study its properties. We establish the relation between Hausdorff metric entropy and topological entropy of a semigroup defined by Bis. Some examples with positive or zero Hausdorff metric entropy are given. Moreov...

A countable collection X of functions in L2(IR ) is said to be a Bessel system if the associated analysis operator T ∗ X : L2(IR ) → `2(X) : f 7→ (〈f, x〉)x∈X is well-defined and bounded. A Bessel system is a fundamental frame if T ∗ X is injective and its range is closed. This paper considers the above two properties for a generalized shift-invariant system X. By definition, such a system has t...

In this paper we define Baer BL-algebras as BL-algebras with the property that co-annihilator filters are generated by central elements. We use sheaf-theoretic techniques to construct a Baer extension of any BLalgebra, that is to embed any nontrivial BL-algebra A into a Baer BLalgebra A∗. The embedding turns to be an isomorphism if A is itself a Baer BL-algebra. 2000 MSC: 08A72, 03G25, 54B40, 0...

OBJECTIVE To determine the initial Brainstem Auditory Evoked Response (BAER) abnormalities in neonates with hyperbilirubinemia and the possible reversibility of abnormal BAER after therapy. DESIGN Prospective cohort study. SETTING Tertiary care hospital. SUBJECTS 30 term neonates with hyperbilirubinemia (S. bilirubin < 15 mg/dl) as cases and 25 normal term neonates as controls. METHODS ...

Best known for his contributions to the field of embryology [6], Karl Ernst von Baer [5] also pursued a variety of other areas of study including medicine, botany, zoology, and anthropology. Committing his life to scientific research, von Baer?s work led to the advancement of the understanding of mammalian reproduction, development, and organ functioning. His embryological discoveries ultimatel...

It is proved that radical of every generalized ring is a G-graded ideal when its index is an abelian group G. The relation between radicals of generalized rings and Γ-rings is given. The explicit formulas for generalized ring A and radical properties r = rb, rl, rj , rn are obtained: r(A) = g.m.r(A) = ∑ {r(Aij) | i, j ∈ I}. The relation between the radicals of path algebras and connectivity of ...
