The article is about the development of the personal competition of the first grade pupils during a science lesson theme “Electricity is very important and it is a very good assistant in a man’s life”. The students were asked to confirm or to deny sentence. Children accomplished two different tests. They follow safety requirements: they checked if the cord was unbroken, and they poked a power plug into a socket. On the basis of the practical work there was an educational film created (https://youtu.be/1kg7zrMYcU4). This film was shown to the classmates. Having learned from this film, other class students could accomplish the same tests. All the children liked it very much. The goal of the test: • To prove in practice that electricity is very important and it is a good assistant in the man’s life. The raised hypothesis: • Electrical items can do the same task better than a man, and to work with the electric items is much easier than with the manual devices. Necessary devices for tests: • For the first test we need: two eggs, two bowls, a whisk/manual eggbeater, an electric eggbeater, and a stopwatch. • For the second test we need: beans of coffee, a manual coffee grinder, an electric coffee grinder, a stopwatch and two plates. Results of the tests: • It is obvious, that the egg, which was whipped with the electric eggbeater was fluffy and the hand was not tired. • The coffee beans were grinded finer with the electric grinder. And other coffee beans which were grinded in a manual way were not so small. After the grinding the hand hurt. Conclusions of the tests: • The raised hypothesis was confirmed. The electrical devices accomplished the same tasks better than a man. To work with the electric devices is easier than with the manual ones. Advices for those who want to accomplish the same tests: • You can accomplish a test with the vacuum cleaner and the broom: “Dust cleaning”, or with the manual grinder and the electric grinder: “Who will crush the grains of buckwheat faster?” Keywords: engaging in educational material, educational method, practical work, smartphones.

Two experiments investigated the information conveyed by intonation from speaker to listener. A multiple-choice test was devised to test the ability of 48 adults to recognize and label intonation when it was separated from all other meaning. Nine intonation contours whose labels were most agreed upon by adults were each matched with two English sentences (one with appropriate and one with inappropriate intonation and semantic content) to make a matching-test for children. The matching-test was tape-recorded and given to children in the first, third, and fifth grades (32 subjects in each grade). The first-grade children matched the intonations with significantly greater agreement than chance; but they agreed upon significantly fewer sentences than either the third or fifth graders. Some intonation contours were matched with significantly greater frequency than others. The performance of the girls was better than that of the boys on an impatient question and a simple command which indicates that there was a significant interaction between sex and intonation.

In this paper, a lowpass – bandpass dual band microwave filter is designed by using deep learning and artificial intelligence. The designed filter has compact size and desirable pass bands. In the proposed filter, the resonators with Z-shaped and T-shaped lines are used to design the low pass channel, while coupling lines, stepped impedance resonators and open ended stubs are utilized to design the bandpass channel. Artificial neural network (ANN) and deep learning (DL) technique has been utilized to extract the proposed filter transfer function, so the values of the transmission zeros can be located in the desired frequency. This technique can also be used for the other electrical devices. The lowpass channel cut off frequency is 1 GHz, with better than 0.2 dB insertion loss. Also, the bandpass channel main frequency is designed at 2.4 GHz with 0.5 dB insertion loss in the passband.

Because of the importance of teaching reading comprehension to struggling young readers and the infrequency with which it has been implemented and evaluated, we designed a comprehensive first-grade reading comprehension program. We conducted a component analysis of the program’s decoding/fluency and reading comprehension dimensions (DF and COMP), creating DF and DF+COMP treatments to parse the value of COMP. Students ( N = 125) were randomly assigned to the two active treatments and controls. Treatment children were tutored three times per week for 21 weeks in 45-min sessions. Children in DF and DF+COMP together performed more strongly than controls on word reading and comprehension. However, pretreatment word reading appeared to moderate these results such that children with weaker beginning word reading across the treatments outperformed similarly low-performing controls to a significantly greater extent than treatment children with stronger beginning word reading outperformed comparable controls. DF+COMP children did not perform better than DF children. Study limitations and implications for research and practice are discussed.

ABSTRACTThis study was designed to test the prediction that, whereas sensitivity to subsyllabic phonological units might emerge prior to alphabetic reading instruction, phonemic analysis skills develop as a consequence of reading instruction. A series of phonological oddity tasks was devised, assessing children's sensitivity to subsyllabic onset and rime units, and to phonemes. These tasks were administered to three groups of children. The first group comprised the oldest children of a sample of kindergarten children. The second and third groups comprised the youngest and oldest children from a first-grade sample. The kindergarten group was equivalent to the younger first-grade group in terms of general verbal maturity, but had not been exposed to reading instruction. The younger first-grade sample was verbally less mature than the older first-grade sample, but had equivalent exposure to reading instruction. On all tasks, both first-grade groups performed at equivalent levels, and both groups did better than the kindergarten group. In all groups, onset and rime unity oddity tasks were of equal difficulty, but phoneme oddity tasks were more difficult than rime oddity tasks. Although some of the kindergarten children could reliably focus on onset and rime units, none performed above chance on the phoneme oddity tasks. Further analyses indicated that rime/onset oddity performance explained variation in very early reading achievement more reliably than phoneme oddity performance.

By the application of the Log ? pair linearity rule and the Proportionality rule to the previously published log ? values for 27 compounds, obtained on diol-silica columns with acetonitrile, methanol and tetrahydrofuran as modifiers, the existence of common RPP scales was established. The obtained correlation coefficients of the linear function log k = f(RPP) were better than 0.9900 for 26 compounds in the first, 21 in the second and 20 in the third case. In addition, in the case of the two first modifiers a linear correlation between the obtained RPP values and mol % of modifier in the mobile phase was found. On the basis of this, the following simple linear function: log k= f(mol % of modifier) was proposed as a criterion for log k values judgment in practical work. A linear correlation was also established between intercept and slope of the function, in spite of the fact that the investigated compounds essentially differ in their descriptors.

Abstract A liquid chromatographic method for the determination of ochratoxin A in coffee beans (green and roast), instant coffee, and coffee drink is described. The sample is subjected to extraction with methanol-1% aqueous sodium bicarbonate (1 + 1) and C18 cartridge cleanup. The extract is chromatographed on a Nucleosil 5C18 column with a mobile solvent of acetonitrile-water-0.2M phosphate buffer pH 7.5 (50 + 47 + 3) containing 3mM cetyltrimethylammonium bromide as an ionpair reagent. Ochratoxin A is detected with a fluoromcter (excitation 365 nm, emission 450 nm). The sensitivity was increased 20-fold by using ion-pair resolution. The detection limits corresponded to 2 μg/kg for coffee beans, 5 μg/kg for instant coffee, and 0.2 μg/kg for coffee drink. The recoveries from coffee products were generally better than 80.7% and the relative standard deviations were 3.43-5.93%. The peak coinciding with ochratoxin A can be confirmed by treatment using alcohol (methanol, ethanol, or n-propanol) and H2S04.

Abstract. The estimation of transient streamflow from stage measurements is indeed important and the study of Dottori, Martina and Todini (2009) (henceforth DMT) is useful, however, DMT seem to miss certain of its practical aspects. The goal is to infer the discharge from measurements of the stage conveniently and with accuracy adequate for practical work. This comment addresses issues of the applicability of the DMT method in the field. DMT also advocate their method as a replacement of the widely used Jones Formula. The Jones Formula was modified by Thomas (Henderson, 1966) to include the temporal derivative of the depth, instead of the spatial one, to specifically allow discharge estimation from at-a-section stage observations. The outcome of the comparison is not surprising in view of this approximation. However, this discussion intends to show that, properly evaluated, the praxis-oriented Jones Formula, which did well in the tests, can perform better than DMT imply. It will be also documented that the DMT methodology relates to a known method for computing flood depth profiles.
