    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF John Anthony Battilega for the DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (Name) (Degree) in Mathematics presented on May 4, 1973 (Major) (Date) Title: COMPUTATIONAL IMPROVEMENTS TO BENDERS DECOMPOSITION FOR GENERALIZED FIXED CHARGE PROBLEMS Abstract approved Redacted for privacy Professor Donald Guthrie, Jr. A computationally efficient algorithm has been developed for determining exact or approximate solutions for large scale gener- alized fixed charge problems. This algorithm is based on a relaxa- tion of the Benders decomposition procedure, combined with a linear mixed integer programming (MIP) algorithm specifically designed to solve the problem associated with Benders decomposition and a com- putationally improved generalized upper bounding (GUB) algorithm which solves a convex separable programming problem by generalized linear programming. A dynamic partitioning technique is defined and used to improve computational efficiency.All component algor- ithms have been theoretically and computationally integrated with the relaxed Benders algorithm for maximum efficiency for the gener- alized fixed charge problem. The research was directed toward the approximate solution of a particular class of large scale generalized fixed charge problems, and extensive computational results for problemsof this type are given.As the size of the problem diminishes, therelaxations can be enforced, resulting in a classical Bendersdecomposition, but with special purpose sub-algorithmsand improved convergence pro- perties. Many of the results obtained apply to the sub-algorithmsinde- pendently of the context in which theywere developed. The proce- dure for solving the associated MIP is applicableto any linear 0/1 problem of Benders form, and the techniquesdeveloped for the linear program are applicable to any large scale generalized GUB implemen- tation.

Sample Client Page 1 Interpretive Report 05/12/2017 Overview of This Report The Feifer Assessment of Reading (FAR) is an individually administered measure of reading ability normed for students in prekindergarten through college. The FAR contains individual tests of reading skills which are combined to form a Phonological Index (PI), a Fluency Index (FI), and a Comprehension Index (CI). The subtests which compose the PI assess phonological processing and decoding skills of words in isolation as well as in context. The FI is comprised of subtests that assess visual perception and orthographic processing of letters and words, as well as fluidity in pronouncing phonologically-irregular words. The CI contains subtests designed to assess the underlying factors involved in deriving meaning from print. The Mixed Index (MI), calculated by combining the PI and the FI, assesses for deficits in both phonological processing and orthographic processing skills. The FAR Total Index (TI), calculated by combining the PI, FI, and CI subtests, provides the most comprehensive and reliable assessment of overall reading proficiency. Each index score is expressed as a grade-corrected standard score scaled to a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15.

  • Dynamic Functions in Dyalog
    Direct Functions in Dyalog APL John Scholes – Dyalog Ltd. [email protected] A Direct Function (dfn) is a new function definition style, which bridges the gap between named function expressions such as and APL’s traditional ‘header’ style definition. Simple Expressions The simplest form of dfn is: {expr} where expr is an APL expression containing s and s representing the left and right argument of the function respectively. For example: A dfn can be used in any function context ... ... and of course, assigned a name: Dfns are ambivalent. Their right (and if present, left) arguments are evaluated irrespective of whether these are subsequently referenced within the function body. Guards A guard is a boolean-single valued expression followed by . A simple expression can be preceded by a guard, and any number of guarded expressions can occur separated by s. Guards are evaluated in turn (left to right) until one of them yields a 1. Its corresponding expr is then evaluated as the result of the dfn. A guard is equivalent to an If-Then-Else or Switch-Case construct. A final simple expr can be thought of as a default case: The s can be replaced with newlines. For readability, extra null phrases can be included. The parity example above becomes: Named dfns can be reviewed using the system editor: or , and note how you can comment them in the normal way using . The following example interprets a dice throw: Local Definition The final piece of dfn syntax is the local definition. An expression whose principal function is a simple or vector assignment, introduces a name that is local to the dfn.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

D. Academic Year 2018 ABSTRACT Readability has long been regarded as a significant aspect in English language teaching as it provides the overall picture of a text’s difficulty level, especially in the context of teaching and testing. Readability is a practical consideration when making decisions on materials to match a text with target readers’ proficiency. A suitable difficulty level will ensure that students receive the most benefit from the materials. However, few studies have compared the readability levels of teaching and testing materials in terms of the difficulty of passages. The present study, therefore, aims to explore the readability of reading passages in English textbooks and Thai national English tests based on three aspects: readability level, linguistic characteristics, and topic areas.

Standard 10 of the Common Core State Standards: Examining three assumptions about text complexity. In K. Goodman, R.C. Calfee, & Y. Goodman (Eds.), Whose Knowledge Counts in Government Literacy Policies? New York, NY: Routledge. 2 Elfrieda H. Hiebert www.textproject.org Fundamental Premises ¡ An emphasis on increasing students’ capacity with increasingly more complex text across their school careers is one of the goals of reading instruction. Attention to this goal is long overdue. The students who most depend on schools for academic learning can and should be reading much more complex texts. ¡ AND….Whenever a new set of mandates is enacted quickly, especially when the scholarship for an area is scant (and the developers of the mandates do not have grounding in the existing scholarship), potential for misinterpretation can be great. 3 Elfrieda H. Hiebert www.textproject.org Three Assumptions on Text Complexity 1. Readability formulas provide sufficiently valid information to guide selections for instruction and assessment. 2. Text levels need to be accelerated at all levels to ensure college/career readiness. 3. Students at all levels can be rapidly stretched to read harder texts. 4 Elfrieda H. Hiebert www.textproject.org Assumption 1: Readability formulas provide sufficiently valid assessments of text complexity that they can be used as a guide for selections in instruction and assessment. ¡ “quantitative measures should identify the college- and career-ready reading level as one endpoint of the scale.

Ginger itself is a intended to be a rigorous but friendly programming language and supporting toolset. It includes a syntax-neutral programming language, a virtual machine implemented in C++ that is designed to support the family of Spice language efficiently, and a collection of supporting tools. Spice has many features that are challenging to support efficiently in existing virtual machines: pervasive multiple values, multiple-dispatch, multiple-inheritance, auto-loading and auto-conversion, dynamic virtual machines, implicit forcing and last but not least fully dynamic typing. The virtual machine is a re-engineering of a prototype interpreter that I wrote on holiday while I was experimenting with GCC’s support for FORTH-like threaded interpreters. But the toolset is designed so that writing alternative VM implementations is quite straightforward - and we hope to exploit that to enable embedding Ginger into lots of other systems.

  • About This Program
    1 ABOUT THIS PROGRAM A child listens to a direction, a lecture, a conversation, or a story, yet does not completely understand what is heard. Bits and pieces are recalled-maybe the first thing that was said, maybe the last. At times, the information is remembered, but misconstrued.Inc. The speech sig~ nal may not have been heard clearly. Perhaps the temporal concepts are confusing to the child. The child's reading, spelling, and writing skills may be weak. After a while, the child may "tune out" when people are talking. These are the hallmark behaviors of a child with an auditory processing disorder. While the evaluation process affords the clinician the opportunityPRO-ED, to quantify the child's present level of performance on a variety of standardized tasks, it also should provide the cli~ nician a window into how the child is approaching auditoryby tasks. After studying available re~ search and years of carefully comparing the testing behaviors of children with above average L auditory skills with those of children scoring poorly on auditory tests, I have compiled a list of behavioral differences in the way these two groups of children approach challenging auditory l testing tasks (see Table 1). Examples of challengingmaterial listening tasks include following complex oral directions and listening to orally presented passages and then answering comprehension L questions. As noted in Table 1, children with good auditory processing skills seem to naturally use strategies such as controlling their body, paraphrasing, subvocalizing, visualizing, and request~ l ing clarification during demanding auditory tasks, whereas children with poor auditory processing skills often docopyrighted not.

The impact of cultural schema was tested nativizing short stories to make them culturally more familiar. The study was carried out at Çanakkale Onsekiz Mart University with 3rd grade students at the department of English Language Teaching through a 2X2 true- experimental research design where the participants were homogenously placed in different groups according to their Grade Point Averages (GPAs). The first group were given the original short story while the second group were given the nativized (Turkified) one. To find out the effect of reading activities on the comprehension of nativized and original short stories, the third group read the original short story with reading activities while the fourth group read the nativized short story with the same reading activities.
