Two of the most interesting conceptual turns in Richard E. Snow's thinking called for: a broadening of the concept of aptitude to include not only cognitive processes, but also affective and cognative processes as essential for understanding academic per

This is a special issue of the "Journal of Mass Media Ethics" which focuses on codes of ethics.

First Published in 2005. This is a dual edition of Volume 16 of the Journal of Educational & Psychological Consultation, double issue from Margaret R. Rogers and Bernice Lott. The aim of this special issue is to explore issues of equity within the context of school-based consulting with nonmainstream parents and their children. This volume proposes that several entities within the education system have a major responsibility to recognize and then to challenge unresponsive and neglectful educational environments.

There is a significant difference between VLSI (very large scale integration) micro/nanoelectronics and VLSI micro/nanophotonics. This book is about the latter, which is meant to define photonic devices, circuits and subsystems in small sizes reaching down in scale to micron, submicron, nano-scale, and quantum-scale dimensions.

Covering advancements in separation technique, this book presents concepts including monolithic columns, bonded stationary phases, micro-HPLC, two-dimensional comprehensive liquid chromatography, and capillary electromigration techniques. It covers areas of HPLC application, including chiral pharmaceutical, food, and forensic analysis.

This book, together with Latino Language and Literacy in Ethnolinguistic Chicago, documents how the future in a globalizing world is not only increasingly multilingual, but that diversity in language use (within one language and across langua

Presents a description of the basic toxicological concepts and methodologies used in aquatic toxicity testing. This work discusses various factors that affect transport, transformation, ultimate distribution and accumulation of chemicals in the aquatic environment, along with the use of modeling to predict fate.

This text describes the ambitions and accomplishments of the NASDC. The intersection of idealistic and pragmatic forces has produced an era of calls for reform in US education, resulting in the creation of the New American Schools Development Corporation (NASDC).

Presents the current state of knowledge, implications for teaching and learning, and future directions for research on the issue of strategic help seeking in academic settings.

Synthesizes NRRC research findings on the understandings held about learning to read. Focus is on middle and secondary classrooms though not exclusively.

The techniques of natural language processing (NPL) have been widely applied in machine translation and automated message understanding, and recently in second language teaching. This book offers both an argument for and a critical examination of this new application.

When the Nobel Prize Committee recognized the importance of green chemistry with its 2005 Nobel Prize for Chemistry, this relatively new science came into its own. Linking green chemistry practice to environmental sustainability, this book illustrates the efforts being made to remediate a scathed environment into a pristine one.

Teaches students how to model and explore the dynamics of systems. This book shows how to use the powerful tool of Simulink to investigate and form intuitions about the behavior of dynamical systems. It covers ordinary differential equations, numerical integration algorithms, and time-step simulation.

Examines analytical measures and discusses virtualization, network computing, and web services as approaches for green data centers and networks. This book identifies some strategies for green appliance and end devices and examines the methodical steps that can be taken over time to achieve a seamless migration to Green IT.

Biopolymers found in marine animals and plants offer tremendous, largely untapped pharmaceutical potential. This book covers the key aspects of these therapeutically valuable biopolymers and their derivatives, namely, their properties, sources, production, and applications in food science and technology as well as biological and biomedical fields.

Aims to organize the solution of heat conduction and diffusion problems which is accomplished using the method of Green's functions, together with the tables of Green's functions and related integrals.

Applies the concept of value mapping to the efficient designing of a supply chain. This book shows how to analyze and map the total supply chain process, assessing any gaps or redundancies that waste time. It considers the complexity of multiple suppliers, distribution centers, and dispersed customers.

Considers the basic areas of marine research and covers subjects of oceanography and marine biology. This title features papers on ecosystem-based management of marine macroalgae; the ecology and management of temperate mangroves; the biology of vestimentiferan tubeworms; and, the historical reconstruction of human-induced changes in US estuaries.

Cultivated in an increasing number of countries, vanilla is a universally appreciated flavor that is consumed worldwide. However, most users are unaware of the plant from which the product comes. This book presents up-to-date reviews on the cultivation, curing, and uses of vanilla. The latest scientific data provides information on genetic status, resources, pests, diseases, cultural practices, biosynthesis of aromatic compounds, and aroma development. Leading contributors from around the world examine emergent countries for vanilla production, including China, India, Uganda, and Papua New Guinea. The text also explores the relationship between fruit development anatomy and flavor quality.

Evaluating food consumers' sensory perception is a key factor in determining the shelf-life of many food products. This book addresses sensory shelf life of food and explains how to design a shelf life estimation experiment. It also includes the code and instructions to perform calculations using the freely distributed R statistical package.
