It provides an opportunity for students to demonstrate their willingness to apply themselves to the successful completion of rigorous academic work. The Honors component parallels the curriculum in the course in which the student is enrolled. It is for seventh and eighth grade students only. After successful completion of the Honors component, the student’s transcript will reflect the completion of the program. For example, Social Studies would be reported as Honors Social Studies. Pre-Algebra for seventh graders and Algebra for eighth graders will serve as the Honors components for math. Honors opportunities are available only in core subjects. Modern Languages and Geometry are available for eighth grade students. Students may elect to contract for Honor in one, two, or all core subjects. Students intending to enroll in Advanced Placement (AP) or International Baccalaureate (IB) courses at the high school level are strongly encouraged to participate in the Honors components. Learning to take responsibility for their own learning will better prepare students for the rigor of AP courses. The majority of Honors courses are stand-alone classes. For more information, please refer to the Transition Academic Guide (TAG) booklet for specific requirements for Honors Courses for seventh and eighth grade students. Grade Check To facilitate home and school communications, parents may access an internet-based program called PowerSchool to monitor their child’s day-to-day education. Attendance, grades, assignments, discipline, teacher notes, and a history of their child’s academic work can be accessed on PowerSchool. Parents can also request a grade check on their child by calling the Guidance Counseling Office and can pick it up in the school office three days after the request. If the grade check reveals any problems in a subject area, the parent should contact the appropriate instructor. To obtain information on how to register for or access PowerSchool, please call the main office at 321-5280. Grading System Students will receive a grade in each subject. The following standardized grading scale is used: A = 95–100 B- = 80–82 D+ = 67–69 A- = 90–94 C+ = 77–79 D = 63–66 B+ = 87–89 C = 73–76 D- = 60–62 B = 83–86 C- = 70–72 F = 59 and below F List Students who have one or more F’s on their current grade check or grade card, will not be allowed to attend Friday Night Live, extra-curricular activities or participate or observe school- wide incentives, such as Viking Voyage, Talent Show. Should an after-school activity be related to a grade, regardless of their current grade card, students will be allowed to participate. 4 Maple Park Grading Polices Academic 80% Tests/Quizzes Labs/Projects Essays/Paper Investment 20% Homework Responsibility Participation (MTSS Grading Scale 0-4) 20% Work Completion, Participation and Checking for Understanding Grading Scale A minimum of 4 points and a maximum of 10 points for any non-academic grade Late Work 1. Late work will be accepted up until mid-quarter/quarter. 2. 60% maximum if late for Investment work 3. Academic work will only be accepted up until end of each mid-quarter/quarter – NO penalty. Make-up Policy 1. 1 day for each day missed to turn work in without penalty. 2. Student is responsible for asking for/collecting make-up work 3. Work that was due on date of an absence, will be due upon students return. Grade Reporting Maple Park uses both a quarter grading system and a semester grading system. Some courses are offered for 9 weeks, which is a quarter, some courses are offered for 18 weeks, which is a semester, while others are offered for 36 weeks, which is a year. Grade reports will be sent home every 9 weeks all year. Students and parents or guardians should read grade reports carefully as some grades may be midterm, which are not final grades, while others are final grades. These grades may appear simultaneously on the same grade report depending on the student’s grade level and Encore choices. Deficiency notices for those students earning a D+ or lower are communicated to the parents of students who are performing poorly. Textbooks The school furnishes our student textbooks. They should last for years. Students are asked to be extremely careful with their books.

PORTA-SIMD: AN OPTIMALLY PORTABLE SIMD PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE by Russell Raymond Tuck, III Department of Computer Science Duke University Dissertation submitte in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Computer Science in the Graduate School of Duke University 1990 Copyright © 1990 by Russell Raymond Tuck, III All rights reserved Abstract Existing programming languages contain architectural assumptions which limit their porta­ bility. I submit optimal portability, a new concept which solves this language design problem. Optimal portability makes it possible to design languages which are portable across vari­ ous sets of diverse architectures. SIMD (Single-Instruction stream, Multiple-Data stream) computers represent an important and very diverse set of architectures for which to demon­ strate optimal portability. Porta-SIMD (pronounced "porta.-simm'd") is the first optimally portable language for SIMD computers. It was designed and implemented to demonstrate that optimal portability is a useful and achievable standard for language design. An optimally portable language allows each program to specify the architectural features it requires. The language then enables the compiled program to exploit exactly those fea.­ tures, and to run on all architectures that provide them.

However, the Lidar performance of pushbroom DAP relative to frame-based DAP and airborne lidar is not well documented. Interest Structure from motion in DAP stems largely from its low cost relative to lidar. Studies have demonstrated that frame-based DAP Photogrammetry generally performs slightly poorer than lidar, but still provides good value due to its reduced cost. In the USA Forestry pushbroom imagery can be dramatically less expensive than frame-camera imagery in part because of a na- DAP tionwide collection program.

    Developing Policy Inputs for Efficient Trade and Sustainable Development Using Data Analysis Mini.K.G Senior Scientist, Fisheries Resources Assessment Division Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute, Kochi Email: [email protected] Introduction Trade forms a vital part of the world economy. The analysis of data on trade and related parameters plays a pivotal role in developing policy inputs for efficient trade and sustainable development. It is evident that the success of any type of analysis depends on the availability of the suitable type of data. In general, time series, cross sectional and pooled data are the three types of data available for trade analysis. Time series data are characterized by observations collected at regular intervals over a period of time while cross-sectional data are data on one or more variables collected at the same point of time. The pooled data is a combination of time series and cross-sectional data. For example, panel data, which is a special type of pooled data is used to study the relationship between trade flows and trade barriers over time. In recent years, the quantitative and qualitative analysis of trade and the effects of policies have grown sharply. This was due to the advances in the theoretical and analytical techniques as well as increased computational and data processing power of computers. A multitude of analysis tools are available in today’s world for a thorough and scientifically valid analysis of data. There are several choices available for the user to choose from – ranging from the general public license packages, analysis packages with statistical add-ons, general purpose languages with statistics libraries to the advanced proprietary packages.

Email: [email protected] This paper originates from a presentation at the 5th International Workshop on Functional–Structural Plant Models, Napier, New Zealand, November 2007. Abstract. The development of functional–structural plant models requires an increasing amount of computer modelling. All these models are developed by different teams in various contexts and with different goals. Efficient and flexible computational frameworks are required to augment the interaction between these models, their reusability, and the possibility to compare them on identical datasets. In this paper, we present an open-source platform, OpenAlea, that provides a user-friendly environment for modellers, and advanced deployment methods. OpenAlea allows researchers to build models using a visual programming interface and provides a set of tools and models dedicated to plant modelling. Models and algorithms are embedded in OpenAlea ‘components’ with well defined input and output interfaces that can be easily interconnected to form more complex models and define more macroscopic components. The system architecture is based on the use of a general purpose, high-level, object-oriented script language, Python, widely used in other scientific areas.
