Does NCLB Improve the Achievement of Students With Disabilities? A Regression Discontinuity Design
Using a regression discontinuity design, this study compared the academic achievement of students-with-disabilities subgroups that were just above the minimum-subgroup-size threshold to those just below the threshold.

Photoimmobilization of Saccharides
We review a versatile photochemical method to carbohydrate immobilization that does not require premodification of the carbohydrate.

Applying Learning Curves to Modeling Future Coal and Gas Power Generation Technologies
To forecast each of these competing technologies under various scenarios of electricity demand, fuel cost, and research investment, we created a Power Technology Futures Model (PTFM) based on “learning curves”…

Speaker recognition with region-constrained MLLR transforms
We define regions based on phonetic and prosodic criteria, based on automatic speech recognition output, and perform MLLR estimation using only frames selected by these criteria.

The Serine-Proline Turn: A Novel Hydrogen-Bonded Template for Designing Peptidomimetics
Factors that contribute to the formation of SP turns include controlling backbone flexibility and amino acid chirality along with creating a hydrophobic environment around the intramolecular hydrogen bonds.
