Reverse Mainstreaming, A Different Approach

Abstract

At the Iowa School for the Deaf, five young hearing children three years of age were integrated into the preschool program. The purpose was to study the development of total communication skills including speech and language patterns. Careful monitoring was done by teachers and parents. As a result of the program, it was determined that the hearing students used manual communication effectively, and they also became aware of the problems of deafness. There was carry-over from school into the home and neighborhood and, further, the children learned beginning basic skills. The use of total communication as a teaching technique was very effective for both the hearing and the hearing-impaired children. As these children progress, it will be interesting to follow them and see if they have an influence on their associations which will be beneficial to the hearing impaired. More research is planned on these children.

Scattering and Transmission by Plate-Like Baffles

“…The test were carried out in a large anechoic tank. The measured results [5]. were available on a grid of 100 points at the centre of squares covering the area of the plate and 0.04m in front and behind.…”

BCL::MolAlign: Three-Dimensional Small Molecule Alignment for Pharmacophore Mapping

“…We noted that the size of the core subset of atoms in a molecule responsible for conferring bioactivity may vary dramatically between targets. However, approximately 80% of the experimentally determined pharmacophores available in the AstraZeneca Overlays Validation Test Set have at least 60% heavy atom overlap in their natively bound poses given a 1.0 Å max atom distance 42 (Supporting Information Figure S1). Consequently, the final property distance score (PDS) is computed such that alignments with less than 60% of their total heavy atoms matching are penalized…”
