GiusSection 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 were enacted in order to protect the rights of individuals with disabilities. These two laws have had a major impact on public schools, their offerings of services and their budgets. The purpose of the present study was to determine if passage of the … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,841 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractNonlinear Growth Models for Modeling Oil Palm Yield GrowthAzme Khamis, Zuhaimy Ismail, khalid Haron, Ahmad Tarmizi MohammedThis study provided the basic needs of parameters estimation for nonlinear growth model such as partial derivatives of each model, determination of initial values for each parameter and statistical tests of industrial usage. Twelve nonlinear growth models and its partial derivatives for oil palm yield growth are presented in this study. The parameters are estimated using the Marquardt iterative method … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 15,101 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Role of Environmental Non-Governmental Organizations in Natural Resources Management Extension (Case Study in Iran)Iraj M. Mohammadi, Mehrdad MirbodThis study describes the emergence, development and functions of Environmental Non-Governmental Organizations (ENGO) and addresses their role and impact in Natural Resources Management Extension (NRME) in Iran.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractβ-Spline Estimation in a Semiparametric Regression Model with Nonlinear Time Series ErrorsJinhong You, Gemai Chen, Xian ZhouWe study the estimation problems for a partly linear regression model with a nonlinear time series error structure. The model consists of a parametric linear component for the regression coefficients and a nonparametric nonlinear component. The random errors are unobservable and modeled by a first-order Markov bilinear process. Based on a B-spline series approximation of the nonlinear component function, we … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 9 · 30 Sep 2005 · 6,734 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOverweight and School: Are There Any Perceived Achievement Consequences of Overweight Among American Youth?Cody Ding, Jason BornhopIn an effort to address the issue of overweight among youth, there is a growing body of research concerning the procurement food, the consequences of ingesting it and knowledge of the cultural cuisine rules (such as American cuisine may include hot dogs, hamburgers, fries and apple pie). However, there are few studies that examine the relationships between overweight and academic … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,424 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPerils of Simplistic Classifications of Universities: A Preliminary Case Study of Economics DepartmentsPartha Gangopadhyay, Renu GangopadhyayUniversities represent a highly complex organizational structure that is beset with serious informational problems. A simplistic allocation rule based on university rankings is sometimes applied to fund disciplines/departments in order to promote efficiency. This study shows the pitfalls of using university rankings to glean information on rankings of disciplines, or departments, across universities. We offer a new measure to quantify … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 7,133 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractComparison of Probability Curves Obtained from 2 Quantitative Allergen-specific IgE Assays: FEIA and 3gAllergyTMT. M. Li, T. Chuang, S. M. Li, D. Hovanec-BurnsThe validity and benefit of probability curves in allergen-specific IgE (sIgE) testing and their applicability to more than a few allergens are still pending. One study[1] presented probability curves for 4 food allergens and proposed decision points to rule out the need for food challenges in his clinic. Since then, such cutoffs were reported by Boyano-Martinez[2] to be dependent on … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2005 · 6,737 accessesView PDFCite
