A study of problems involved in teaching the slow learner to readUnknown Date (has links)
For twenty-six years the writer has been teaching in the elementary and secondary schools. Here she found one of the most important, as well as one of the most perplexing, problems to be that of teaching the slow-learning child to read to the best of his ability. The problem is serious at all levels, but it is at the secondary level that it becomes more apparent and more serious, particularly so in many secondary schools whose curriculums have not been adjusted to meet the needs and abilities of this slow-learning individual. It is because of experience with this problem and the importance attached to it by authorities in the field of education that the writer has made this study. / Typescript. / "August, 1952." / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts." / Advisor: Robert C. Moon, Professor Directing Paper. / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 48-50).

Slow Rate Sand Filtration With and Without Clinoptilolite: A Comparison of Water Quality and Filtration EconomicsForeman, Gordon P. 01 May 1985 (has links)
Slow rate sand filtration (SSF) amended with a 20 em surface layer of clinoptilolite, a natural zeolite, was compared to SSF with no amendment in a field scale SSF facility treating 85 m3/d of water. Parameters examined included turbidity, coliforms, and ammonium removal. The control filter with sand and the experimental filter amended with the zeolite were also compared with respect to duration of filter cycle, cold weather operation, and economics.
Amended and unamended filters were appr oximately equivalent with respect to ammonium and coliform removal at 10° C. The zeolite amended cell was superior to the unamended cell with respect to coliform and turbidity removal at 3° C. The zeolite amended cell had filter cycle durations four times longer and operation and maintenance costs 25% lower than the unamended cell.
Laboratory column studies were also conducted to compare a control column of construction sand to a homogeneous sand-zeolite mixture. and to SSF amended with zeolite or coarse sand. Construction sand and clinoptilolite were very similar in metal removal efficiency. Head loss developed most rapidly in the SSF column with construction sand only. Head loss developed more slowly resulting in longer filter cycles when the SSF was amended with a zeolite or coarse sand surface layer. A homogeneous sand-clinoptilolite mixture had filter cycles longer than construction sand, but shorter than SSF amended with a coarse surface medium.
Batch reactor tests were utilized to compare adsorption of reovirus to sand and clinoptilolite. Reovirus adsorption was approximately equivalent for the two media.

Tidal Translations: Thinking-With Untranslatability in Craig Santos Perez's from Unincorporated TerritoryGardner, Maryn 22 April 2022 (has links) (PDF)
Craig Santos Perez's poetic series from Unincorporated Territory describes and decries the U.S. militarization, colonization, and environmental degradation of Guam in the Western Pacific through multilingual, excerpted, and series-long poems. Perez's writing style requires slow, careful reading with translations sometimes appearing on the same page, various pages later, or not at all. I describe this kind of elongated translation as slow translation, recalling translation theorist Michael Cronin's "Slow Language" movement. This thesis invites readers, especially multispecies ethnographers, to slow down the translation of nonhuman species and their stories by paying attention to moments of untranslatability in multispecies literature and interactions. In modeling how to think-with untranslatability, I call upon translation scholars Barbara Cassin and Cronin, who describe untranslatability in temporal and agentic terms, and environmental humanist Donna Haraway, whose tentacular thinking model and multispecies approaches have slowed our tendencies towards linear and assumptive modes of thinking. In conjunction with these thinkers, my multispecies reading of from Unincorporated Territory proposes slow translation as a model for resisting easy or colonizing translations that homogenize the Other. Perez's multilingual, fractured poems create moments of untranslatability, especially when describing nonhuman species or environments, that are difficult to immediately understand due to nontranslations or delayed translations. This thesis pays special attention to such moments as opportunities for slowing down and staying with difference. Thus, moments of untranslatability offer an ethnographic and interactive mode for engaging with difference through slow translation, valuing the process and experience of translation, the agency of the subjects in translation, and the incomprehensibility or unknown nature of the nonhuman and Othered world.

On the Modeling of TCP Latency and ThroughputZheng, Dong 03 August 2002 (has links)
In this thesis, a new model for the slow start phase based on the discrete evolutions of congestion window is developed, and we integrate this part into the improved TCP steady state model for a better prediction performance. Combining these short and steady state models, we propose an extensive stochastic model which can accurately predict the throughput and latency of the TCP connections as functions of loss rate, round-trip time (RTT), and file size. We validate our results through simulation experiments. The results show that our model?s predictions match the simulation results better than the Padhye and Cardwell's stochastic models, about 75% improvement in the accuracy of performance predictions for the steady state and 20% improvement for the short-lived TCP flows.

Lateral transshipment of slow moving critical medical itemsAgirbas, Gozde 09 August 2008 (has links)
This research studies lateral transshipment of critical medical items that have low demands. Due to the high prices of medical items and their limited shelf lives, the expirations contribute significantly to the current prohibitively high cost of the healthcare system. Lateral transshipment between hospitals in a medical system provides opportunities to reduce the expiration costs. This paper studies the decision rule for lateral transshipment in a two-hospital system and extends the rule for the multiple-hospital cases. The decision rule takes the myopic best action by assuming no transshipments will be performed in the future. Numerical experiments demonstrate significant cost savings and the decision rule has a small gap from the upper bound of the total saving. The savings are more considerable when the difference of demand rates at different locations is large and the life time of the medical item is not too long or too short.

The Relationship Between Neuronal Discharge and Slow Potentials in the Cat Cerebral Cortex / Neuronal Discharge and Slow PotentialsLangsam, Henryk 11 1900 (has links)
This thesis is missing page 18, the other copies of the thesis are missing it as well. - Digitization Centre / The work reported in this thesis concerns a possible quantitative relationship between two bioelectric phenomena of the cat cerebral cortex: neuronal discharge and slow potentials. A review of literature dealing with research related to the present topic is given. This is followed by descriptions of the experimental procedure employed and the results obtained. A subsequent discussion in terms of current neurophysiological concepts relates present findings with those of other known research. The accompanying bibliography represents a fairly complete coverage of contemporary and recent experimental and theoretical work related to the present topic. / Thesis / Master of Arts (MA)

Kairos: Architecture and the Pause for Good TasteTarr, David L. 02 July 2013 (has links)
The following is the architectural narrative of a slow meal. Slowness is rich with meaning and expectations. I sought to explore slow not in terms of speed or a measured passage of time, but in terms of the passage of opportunity.
Slow is the seizing of an opportunity - a pause for pleasure in the mundane. Architecture is fast, constantly engaging all our senses. It is through a deliberate pause that I find pleasure in thinking, drawing, and experiencing. Good taste is the wisdom that pleasure must be seized; the Latin sapor "taste" and sapiens "a wise man."
I intend to explore slow in architecture through taste. Taste and architecture are uniquely linked to place. They both immediately establish place by engaging all senses simultaneously. Knowledge of the qualities of an ingredient or material, both seen and the unseen, inform drawing and building just as they do cooking and the meal. A recipe does not mean that a result is prescribed. An imprecise precision exists in drawing and cooking that varies every time it is done, allowing new discoveries to be made.
I seek to discover how the act of making is evident in a drawing, a building, and a meal. The pleasure in making and the memory of the hand is a continuous narrative. I explore this narrative through a culinary school, restaurant, chefs residence, and a meal set on the Potomac River waterfront in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia at the terminus of Prince Street, south of Waterfront Park. / Master of Architecture
