This graph shows the achievement gap in reading scores between students with disabilities (SDW) and non-disabled students in Texas expressed as an effect size. The gap widens from 3rd to 5th grade but then narrows from 4th to 8th grade, indicating that the dynamic cohort program helped reduce the gap over time compared to the static cohort.

The document discusses Capire, a startup that has developed a microturbine power chip as a solution to enable portable devices and new technologies that have been limited by battery technology. The microturbine power chip provides 10x the power density of micro-fuel cells and can run on ethanol or biodiesel, enabling extreme endurance laptops with estimated 40 hour runtimes by 2013 and powering a growing market for devices like e-scooters and e-bikes. Capire seeks funding to bring their technology to the mass market.
This document proposes a crowd-sourced cycling issue management website to help cycling advocacy groups improve infrastructure. The website would allow users to easily pinpoint difficult cycling locations, access best practices, and prioritize issues. It would include discussion forums and integrate with planning applications. The proposal estimates £30k could fund developing a polished system, though a basic version could be achieved for £20k. Existing groups support the idea to help manage infrastructure problems in a scalable way.

This project implements mincut placement with and without terminal propagation to reduce wirelength. Terminal propagation temporarily moves connected nodes between partitions during cuts to minimize distance. For four benchmark circuits, terminal propagation achieved an average 27.8% reduction in wirelength with minimal runtime impact. Experimental results showed that terminal propagation significantly improves wirelength especially for smaller partition sizes. The implementation faces memory issues for very large circuits. Several extensions are proposed but not implemented due to time constraints.
This document outlines various emerging and established technologies in the media and entertainment industry, including the adoption of smartphones, broadband, and wireless technologies, as well as consumption of content across TVs, video game consoles, tablets, and other devices. It also discusses trends in digital video, addressable advertising, and content distribution across linear, on-demand, and user-generated formats. Key metrics are provided on the installed base of these technologies and devices.
This document proposes a framework called the Context-Influence Framework for managing contexts in interactive system development. The framework defines contexts as collections of influences that affect system behaviors and users. Contexts are analyzed at the level of "Use Subsystems" which are specific combinations of users, tasks, and interfaces. Contexts can be divided into domains to capture information from different perspectives. Contexts are also organized hierarchically to allow representation at different levels of detail. The framework is intended to help communication between teams and allow contexts to be added without increasing complexity.
This document discusses how European broadcasters are responding to the challenges posed by connected TV. It notes that connected TV allows new entrants access to revenue streams and potentially vertically integrated global players to control parts of the distribution chain. This raises regulatory questions as connected TV may undermine the notion of editorial responsibility over all on-screen content. Broadcasters should remain open to new distribution forms while protecting their signals, anti-piracy provisions, and commercial control over scheduling. Ultimately consumers will decide the winners and losers in this transition to connected TV.

The document discusses challenges facing commercial broadcasters and opportunities for new revenue streams through online and on-demand services. It notes that while TV advertising remains important, broadcasters need to diversify revenue to 60% from other sources like new advertising forms, rights trading, and online video. Online options like catch-up TV, on-demand, and mobile apps can boost viewership and provide scheduling flexibility but won't replace traditional TV. Innovation is needed to complement, not replace, existing business models through both online and traditional services.

11.challenging issues of spatio temporal data miningAlexander Decker
This document discusses the challenging issues of spatio-temporal data mining. It begins with an introduction to spatio-temporal databases and how they differ from traditional databases by managing moving objects and their locations over time. It then provides an overview of spatial data mining and temporal data mining before focusing on spatio-temporal data mining, which aims to analyze large databases containing both spatial and temporal information. The document outlines some of the key challenges in applying traditional data mining techniques to spatio-temporal data due to its continuous and correlated nature.

This document describes a study that used support vector machines (SVM) to develop a quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) model to predict the anti-HIV activity of TIBO derivatives. The SVM model achieved high correlation (q2=0.96) and low error (RMSE=0.212), outperforming artificial neural networks and multiple linear regression models developed on the same data set. The results indicate that SVM is a valuable tool for QSAR modeling and predicting anti-HIV activity of chemical compounds.
The document summarizes a workshop on spatial analytics. It discusses the rise of spatial analytics, different spatial analysis techniques including spatial autocorrelation and interpolation. It covers using Hadoop and Pig for distributed analytics on big spatial data. Examples are provided of spatial analysis jobs in Pig that are much simpler than equivalent MapReduce code. The document concludes by demonstrating a simple example of counting tweets by location in Pig.
This document discusses optimizing advertising in location-based services. It outlines the opportunity for mobile advertising, with over 330 million mobile search users worldwide. However, it notes that advertising must be carefully executed to be relevant, timely, and add value for consumers. Location context is overrated unless it's relevant to the user. Advertising should empower consumer decisions, differentiate offers, and make redemption simple. Just-in-time intercept marketing can be effective if executed properly as part of a broader campaign. Both consumers and advertisers need to have their perspectives and expectations managed for mobile advertising to be successful.

This document summarizes research on using neural networks and genetic algorithms for fault diagnosis in antenna arrays. It provides background on smart antenna arrays and issues with traditional fault diagnosis methods. It then describes how neural networks like multilayer perceptrons and radial basis function networks can be trained to map damaged radiation patterns to faulty antenna locations. Genetic algorithms are also discussed as an approach to minimize differences between measured and expected radiation patterns. Various studies applying these methods to different antenna array configurations are summarized, demonstrating the effectiveness of neural networks and genetic algorithms for fast and accurate fault diagnosis in antenna arrays.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
