The document discusses student attendance data and research from Central Texas school districts. It finds that half of students miss 6 or more days per year, accounting for 85% of total absences. Chronic absenteeism is highest in high school and among low-income students. Poor attendance is linked to higher rates of grade retention, lower test scores, and increased likelihood of dropping out. The document recommends targeting an attendance campaign at students in 7th-10th grades and discusses some strategies local districts have used, such as attendance committees and outreach coordinators, with mixed results reported.
This document profiles high school readiness and success in Central Texas in 2012. It finds that:
1) High school students miss an average of over 2 weeks of school each year, with absences highest among high school students.
2) Around 1 in 10 freshmen are retained in 9th grade, showing a dramatic drop in enrollment after 8th grade.
3) Retained freshmen had 4 times as many absences in 9th grade as students who were promoted, and were over 10 times more likely to eventually drop out of high school.
4) Large gaps exist in reading and math achievement between racial/ethnic groups and income levels as early as 10th grade, indicating uneven college
This document summarizes education data from Central Texas in 2012. It finds that high school students miss an average of over 2 weeks of school each year. Nearly 1 in 10 freshmen are retained, and retained freshmen had 4 times as many absences as students who were promoted. Retained freshmen also failed the 9th grade math TAKS at a rate of 83% compared to 57% of students who were promoted. The document also shows gaps in reading and math TAKS scores between student groups in 10th grade that indicate gaps in college readiness.

The document discusses the history of ancient Egypt from the decline of the Old Kingdom due to a lack of central rule and famine, to the Middle Kingdom led by Mentuhotep II that reunited Egypt, to the New Kingdom being the height of Egypt's power through conquests and trade under rulers like Hatshepsut and Ramses II who fought off invaders like the Hyksos and Hittites, though Egypt was eventually weakened.
Electrolytic recovery of antimony from natural stibnite ore Al Baha University
The document discusses the electrolytic recovery of antimony from a stibnite ore sample from Egypt. It describes analyzing the ore's mineral composition and developing a hydrometallurgical process. The process involves leaching the ore with acids like hydrochloric, nitric, and sulfuric acids. This dissolves the antimony, which is then electrochemically deposited as pure metallic antimony on a cathode. The purity of the deposited antimony was found to be over 99%.
This document summarizes a study on the inhibition of copper corrosion in nitric acid solution by 3-arylazo 1,2,4-triazole compounds (AT). The main points are:
1) Potentiodynamic polarization and Tafel methods showed that AT compounds are good inhibitors of copper corrosion in nitric acid, achieving over 95% inhibition efficiency at 10-4 M concentration.
2) The high inhibition is believed to be due to adsorption of the AT compounds or formed Cu(II)-AT complexes at the electrode interface.
3) Cathodic polarization measurements indicated AT dyes are predominantly cationic inhibitors that act in the cathodic region.

1. The document examines the inhibitory effect of semicarbazide, thiosemicarbazide, and sym-diphenylcarbazide on the corrosion of aluminum in hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide solutions.
2. Thermometric, weight-loss, and polarization methods were used to study the dissolution of aluminum in the presence of these corrosion inhibitors and all three methods produced consistent results.
3. The compounds were found to be more effective inhibitors in acidic solutions, likely due to aluminum having a less negative potential in hydrochloric acid, which favors adsorption of the inhibitors. Their adsorption was shown to follow the Frumkin isotherm.

Recommended flowsheets for the electrolytic extraction of lead and zinc from ...Al Baha University
The polymetal complex ore Umm-Gheig considered in Egypt as a rather rich source of lead and zinc is subjected to
mineralogical, chemical, spectral, X-ray and differential thermal analyses. Hydrometallurgical treatments based on leaching,
precipitation and electrodeposition of metal from the ore are established. The influences of current density, temperature and metal
ion concentration on the Faradic current efficiency are discussed. Advantages and disadvantages of flowsheets and various
approaches depending on convenient baths for the electro-deposition of metals are investigated. The results of electron
microscopic investigation confirmed by metal value data given in the A.S.T.M. cards coincide well with those given by chemical

This article describes the synthesis and characterization of 2,2'-biimidazole complexes of molybdenum and uranium. Two types of complexes were formed - those from slightly acidic solutions had formulas of MO02(H2bim)Cl2.2H20, U02(H2bim)(Ac)2.2H20, and U02(H2bim)Cl2.2H20. Those from alkaline solutions had formulas of Mo204(H2bim)2.2H20 and M02(Hbim)2 where M is molybdenum or uranium. The complexes were characterized using elemental analysis, conductivity measurements, 1H NMR, IR, and electronic spectroscopy
The document discusses the concept of federalism in the US government. It explains that the US Constitution divides powers between the national and local governments. Some powers are reserved for the federal government, like those enumerated in the Constitution and those not given to the states in the 10th Amendment. However, there are also overlapping powers between the state and federal governments, such as the power to levy taxes and charter corporations. The document concludes by noting states must respect each other's laws and citizens equally under the Full Faith and Credit Clause.
This document provides summaries of 16 research articles authored by LH Madkour related to corrosion inhibition and electrochemistry. The articles investigate corrosion inhibition of various metals including iron, aluminum, copper, and stainless steel in acid and alkaline solutions using compounds such as hydantoins, azo dyes, triazoles, and carbazides. The articles also examine electrodeposition of metals from ores and electrolytic extraction processes. Polarization, weight loss, and kinetic-thermodynamic models are used to analyze corrosion inhibition effects and adsorption behavior of the inhibitors on metal surfaces.
This presentation is on social media aggregation tools, the what, the why, the how, and the application of using a social media aggregation tool, specifically Hootsuite. This presentation was taught at Third Tech Tuesday (#3RdTT) at CRCC.
Presented by Dr. Amy Wiseman, Director of Research Studies and Christine Bailie, Deputy Director of PK-16 Initiatives at E3 Alliance and Dr. Carol Fletcher, Deputy Director, Center for STEM Education at The University of Texas at Austin; Jay Barrett, Principal at AACAL – Amarillo ISD; Brandon Johnson, Principal at STEAM Middle School – Burleson ISD and Donna Ullrich, Principal at Humble High School – Humble ISD at the STEM Leadership Summit June 27, 2017.
Educators and especially our higher education leaders have been concerned that an unintended consequence of 2013’s HB 5 could be allowing students to choose a high school path with too little mathematics to be ready for post-secondary credentialing. Meanwhile, the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board has a goal of achieving 60% of the young adult population with a higher education credential by 2030 to meet workforce needs, when currently we are at 38%.
In this presentation we explore Statewide Mathematics Analysis research conducted by E3 analyzing the relationship between the highest level of mathematics mastered by high school students and subsequent education outcomes, including: high school graduation, college enrollment, college completion, and college completion with a Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) degree.
Key research findings include: 1) Only students with at least one year of math beyond Algebra II had a realistic chance at achieving a post-secondary credential, 2) Each additional high school math course corresponded to higher postsecondary completion rates, 3) Across Texas, there is a huge opportunity gap among low-income students and their peers for taking Algebra I in middle school, 4) Almost all students who are in accelerated math pathways are successful, completing the course and passing the state assessment for Algebra I, 5) Many of our most prepared 5th grade students who meet college and career ready standards lack access to accelerated math pathways – with low-income and minority students disproportionately disadvantaged, and 6) students in the state’s most rural districts lack access to rigorous math pathways.

E3 Alliance Food for Thought: Kindergarten Readiness March 2013E3 Alliance
For the past two years, E3 Alliance has completed the most comprehensive, multi-domain regional study of Kindergarten Readiness in the state of Texas. This study allows our region to identify student school readiness across multiple competencies in both academic and social-emotional development, as well as determine the demographic and experiential factors most correlated with readiness.
Missing school matters kickoff Sept. 19, 2012E3 Alliance
The document summarizes a student attendance campaign in Central Texas. It provides data showing that half of Central Texas students miss 6 or more days per year, accounting for 85% of absences. Missing school has negative impacts on student achievement and district funding. The campaign aims to increase attendance by 2 percentage points on average by getting various groups like parents, educators, community and faith-based organizations, and employers involved. It outlines attendance challenge events and promotional activities supported by local radio stations. The document encourages attendees to take action to spread awareness and get involved in the campaign.
This document summarizes research from the E3 Alliance on middle school readiness and success in Central Texas. It finds that the number of students receiving disciplinary actions more than doubles from 5th to 6th grade. Disciplinary actions peak in 8th grade. Gaps in reading and math achievement among student groups persist from elementary to middle school. While all groups met the 80% passage rate goal for 8th grade reading, only some groups met it for math and science.
This document summarizes research from the E3 Alliance on early childhood education in Central Texas. It finds that 75% of eligible children in Central Texas attend public pre-K, but half of all Central Texas students are not ready for kindergarten. While low-income children who attended pre-K are as ready as non-low-income children who did not, pre-K alone does not fully overcome readiness gaps related to income in areas like language and math. The research concludes that pre-K programs improve social-emotional and emerging literacy readiness but other factors also impact kindergarten preparation.
The document contains information about college readiness and success rates in Central Texas. It shows that Central Texas exceeds the state rate for graduates receiving distinguished diplomas. The majority of Asian students earn distinguished diplomas, while about 1 in 4 Black students and 1 in 5 Hispanic students receive minimum diplomas. Graduates with distinguished diplomas are more likely to earn a college degree. There is a gap in college readiness for graduates of color. Only 1 in 4 freshmen graduate high school on-time and college and career ready. College enrollment rates after high school graduation vary by district and are correlated with the proportion of low-income students.
The document summarizes education data from Central Texas from 2001-2011. It finds that the pre-kindergarten population more than doubled over this period. By 5th grade, achievement gaps between racial/ethnic groups and income levels persist in reading and math, with the largest gaps seen in high achievement levels. Specifically, in 5th grade math, 60% of Hispanic students met the standard compared to 81% of white students. Retention rates are generally low between kindergarten and 5th grade, below 3% on average.
This document summarizes research on English language learners (ELLs) in Central Texas. It finds that the ELL population in Central Texas grew 139% from 2000 to 2010, seven times faster than the overall student population growth rate. Most ELL students are enrolled in bilingual education programs in elementary school and transition to English as a Second Language programs in middle school. Only 20-25% of students at any grade level have ever been or are currently enrolled in a bilingual/English language learner program. Receipt of special education services is lowest for ELL students enrolled in bilingual programs.
This document profiles central Texas and includes statistics on schools, demographics, economics, and workforce. It shows that central Texas has higher levels of education than the state average, with more adults having some college but degree attainment has fallen. Unemployment is lower in central Texas compared to Texas and the US. Job growth is highest in professional/business services. Most jobs are in education/health and low-wage occupations. Targeted occupations require at least a bachelor's degree and STEM skills.
This document profiles Central Texas and contains the following key points:
1. It shows that the highest density of low-income students in Central Texas is in Southeast Travis County. The growth of the low-income student population has been greatest north and west of Austin.
2. There has been a dramatic increase in the percentage of low-income students in Central Texas, rising from 35% in 2000-2001 to 49% in 2010-2011.
3. The population projections for Central Texas show continued growth in the Hispanic population through 2040.
