Justice and the politics of difference
, 1990
"... Educators frequently recommend that children read aloud to parents at home in the belief that the activity will positively contribute to children's literacy growth. From a research perspective, however, little is known about these at-home reading experiences. Using a social constructivist theor ..."

theoretical perspective, the present study investigated the relationships between children's reading ability, children's sex, mothers ' educational level, and mothers ' helping behaviors during children's at-home oral reading practice. Seventy-six mother-child pairs from a suburban
How much should we trust differences-in-differences estimates?
, 2003
"... Most papers that employ Differences-in-Differences estimation (DD) use many years of data and focus on serially correlated outcomes but ignore that the resulting standard errors are inconsistent. To illustrate the severity of this issue, we randomly generate placebo laws in state-level data on femal ..."

Shape modeling with front propagation: A level set approach
- IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON PATTERN ANALYSIS AND MACHINE INTELLIGENCE
, 1995
"... Shape modeling is an important constituent of computer vision as well as computer graphics research. Shape models aid the tasks of object representation and recognition. This paper presents a new approach to shape modeling which retains some of the attractive features of existing methods and over- ..."

along its gradient field with constant speed or a speed that depends on the curvature. It is moved by solving a “Hamilton-Jacob? ’ type equation written for a function in which the interface is a particular level set. A speed term synthesizpd from the image is used to stop the interface in the vicinity
Exploration, normalization, and summaries of high density oligonucleotide array probe level data.
- Biostatistics,
, 2003
"... SUMMARY In this paper we report exploratory analyses of high-density oligonucleotide array data from the Affymetrix GeneChip R system with the objective of improving upon currently used measures of gene expression. Our analyses make use of three data sets: a small experimental study consisting of f ..."

familiar features of the perfect match and mismatch probe (P M and M M) values of these data, and examine the variance-mean relationship with probe-level data from probes believed to be defective, and so delivering noise only. We explain why we need to normalize the arrays to one another using probe level
The Labor Demand Curve is Downward Sloping: Reexamining the Impact of Immigration on the Labor Market
- THE QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF ECONOMICS
, 2003
"... Immigration is not evenly balanced across groups of workers that have the same education but differ in their work experience, and the nature of the supply imbalance changes over time. This paper develops a new approach for estimating the labor market impact of immigration by exploiting this variatio ..."

this variation in supply shifts across education-experience groups. I assume that similarly educated workers with different levels of experience participate in a national labor market and are not perfect substitutes. The analysis indicates that immigration lowers the wage of competing workers: a 10 percent
Self-Similarity Through High-Variability: Statistical Analysis of Ethernet LAN Traffic at the Source Level
- IEEE/ACM TRANSACTIONS ON NETWORKING
, 1997
"... A number of recent empirical studies of traffic measurements from a variety of working packet networks have convincingly demonstrated that actual network traffic is self-similar or long-range dependent in nature (i.e., bursty over a wide range of time scales) -- in sharp contrast to commonly made tr ..."

analyses of real-time traffic measurements from Ethernet LAN's at the level of individual sources. This paper is an extended version of [53] and differs from it in significant ways. In particular, we develop here the mathematical results concerning the superposition of strictly alternating ON
The broadcast storm problem in a mobile ad hoc network
- ACM Wireless Networks
, 2002
"... Broadcasting is a common operation in a network to resolve many issues. In a mobile ad hoc network (MANET) in par-ticular, due to host mobility, such operations are expected to be executed more frequently (such as finding a route to a particular host, paging a particular host, and sending an alarm s ..."

-tify this problem by showing how serious it is through anal-yses and simulations. We propose several schemes to reduce redundant rebroadcasts and differentiate timing of rebroad-casts to alleviate this problem. Simulation results are pre-sented, which show different levels of improvement over the basic flooding
The SWISS-MODEL Workspace: A web-based environment for protein structure homology modelling
- BIOINFORMATICS
, 2005
"... Motivation: Homology models of proteins are of great interest for planning and analyzing biological experiments when no experimental three-dimensional structures are available. Building homology models requires specialized programs and up-to-date sequence and structural databases. Integrating all re ..."

dedicated to protein structure homology modelling. It assists and guides the user in building protein homology models at different levels of complexity. A personal working environment is provided for each user where several modelling projects can be carried out in parallel. Protein sequence and structure
Statecharts: A Visual Formalism For Complex Systems
, 1987
"... We present a broad extension of the conventional formalism of state machines and state diagrams, that is relevant to the specification and design of complex discrete-event systems, such as multi-computer real-time systems, communication protocols and digital control units. Our diagrams, which we cal ..."

. Statecharts are thus compact and expressive--small diagrams can express complex behavior--as well as compositional and modular. When coupled with the capabilities of computerized graphics, statecharts enable viewing the description at different levels of detail, and make even very large specifications
Real-Time Obstacle Avoidance for Manipulators and Mobile Robots
