This article summarizes the research literature that describes the nature and effectiveness of services that are provided to college students with learning disabilities. Six categories of services are described: assistive technologies and programs, progra
This paper presents the results of a survey on the ethnobotany of the wild Mexican Cucurbitaceae. The sources of information were fieldwork in different regions of Mexico, as well as herbarium specimens and bibliographic references. A total of 34 wild spe
Background: Brainstem auditory potential (BAEP) has been used to demonstrate brainstem damage and to provide prognosis for the outcome for newborn children. There are contradictory results of its power to predict problems in language development or proble
In Part 2, we examine the viability of the new symbolic language that we described in Part 1, in a specific setting. Using an abstract classification task that involves decision-making under time pressure, we study multiple measures of subject performance
We are witness to the communications revolution and the accompanying proliferation of narrow-purpose, mobile, computing and communication devices. Such devices tend to be smaller and lighter than their desktop and laptop counterparts. The tradeoff is that
EXtensible Markup Language (XML) security has become a relevant research topic due to the widespread use of XML as the language for information interchange and document definition over the Web. In this context, developing an access control mechanism in te
Absolute pitch - the ability to name or produce a note of particular pitch in the absence of a reference note - is generally considered to be extremely rare. However, it has been found that native speakers of two different tone languages - Mandarin and Vi
