onal evaluation, that concentrates on the service area of Education Data Management. The plan will investigate the requirements involved in providing readable and interpretable test results for teacher and principal use. Realizing testing is only as good as the teaching, teaching is only as good as the environment and the environment is only as good as its resources; this project will be a result ...

School reform efforts call for using scientific approaches to making decisions in education. Currently, data are available to inform decisions, but many educators are not well equipped to understand quantitative information, how to use it, and how to communicate quantitative results. During Phase I, we will conduct focus groups and surveys, and train educators to use data to help students succeed. ...

The Phase 2 objective is to provide NIST with a modular gauge head unit equipped with InsituTec's standing wave probe technology. The complete gauge head unit will be retrofitted to the NIST M48 which is one of the most precise measuring machines in the world. This unit will enable NIST to achieve the agency's program goal in dimensional metrology which is to provide microscale measurement capacit ...

Individuals with cognitive disabilities represent one of the fastest growing disability groups in the U. S. The potential for computer technology to increase social integration for this population is well-documented. However, cognitive and financial barriers frequently preclude the acquisition and maintenance of personal computer hardware, software programs, and Internet service. The Personal Ac ...

The Personal Access Computer Key a modified Universal Serial Bus designed to accommodate adaptive software capable of being launched on publicly accessible updated computers

Even very young children are able to learn mathematics through application of metaphors. In this way children receive intuitive, natural, pleasant, and yet deep and advanced access to the ideas of elementary mathematics. Currently, however, the market lacks metaphor-based educational software. Natural Math, LLC, is a small business that focuses on research and software development in mathematics e ...

A prototype special education intervention called My Scrivener based on emerging research demonstrating that computer assisted motion training can stimulate the growth of neural connections.

Pressure ulcers are a serious medical problem with annual treatment costs over $1 billion dollars. While the exact etiology involves a complex combination of factors, it is generally accepted that prolonged pressure to soft tissues results in discrete areas of acute ischemia. If the pressure is not relieved and the blood supply restored in a critical length of time, endothelial cell damage will re ...

Since the inception of windscreens on aircraft, the effects of erosion on the transparent materials utilized for this application has been problematic. With the development of faster aircraft, Night Vision Goggles and various sensors which utilize electromagnetic waves in the visible and IR ranges this problem has been intensified. The team at United Protective Technologies, propose to provide dat ...
