Much is known about short-term—but very little about the long-term—effects of reading interventions. To rectify this, a detailed analysis of follow-up effects as a function of intervention, sample, and methodological variables was conducted. A total of 71 intervention-control groups were selected (N = 8,161 at posttest) from studies reporting posttest and followup data (M = 11.17 months) for pr...

The publishable result is a means of producing activated carbons and especially, SBAs, that exhibit a relatively high attrition resistance and a low propensity towards leaching from feedstocks that would, conventionally, yield activated carbons that were deficient with respect to these two properties. This process was developed using sewage sludge, but it is should function with all carbonised ...

In upcoming years, the United States will experience an unprecedented teacher shortage, meaning that the country will need to supplement its teaching force with approximately two million new teachers. The massive shortage will come as a result of increasing student enrollments, mounting retirement rates of current teachers, and high rates of attrition for beginning teachers. Additionally, the N...

While Lanchester’s equations are commonly used as the basis for force-on-force combat models, it is important to remember that Lanchester’s Equations are not a model of combat, only a model for combat attrition. There have been numerous attempts to compare historical combat data with the behaviour expected from Lanchester's Equations. The present work extends this comparison between historical ...

The survey process as measured by paradata may be different for different respondents. Those initially reluctant to participate may be convinced by the interviewer to cooperate, or the reluctance may produce attrition. Difficulty to contact respondents may be related to interviewer effort and busy respondent schedules, or it may be a form of reluctance. This paper will use mixed models to attem...

While many second language (L2) acquisition studies analyze the effects that the first language (L1) has on L2 development, less common are studies that examine the converse situation: does acquisition of an L2 impact the L1? This study examines the effects of L2 acquisition on L1 use by looking at the L1 phonological productions of advanced L2 learners vis-à-vis the production of monolingual s...

Student attrition is of particular concern in the field of ICT because the industry faces staffing shortfalls, generally and a noticeable lack of female employees.

In an effort to study if a relationship exists between foreign language teacher efficacy and retention, the author created a new quantitative instrument to measure foreign language teacher efficacy (N = 441) in the southeastern region of the United States. The Foreign Language Teacher Efficacy Scale was...

This annotated bibliography explores scholarly literature published between 2010 and 2016 that addresses the analysis of student-generated data, called learning analytics (Fiaidhi, 2014), with the intention of providing early intervention to promote better academic outcomes.
