Evaluating The Efficacy of an Adaptation of PALS for Math in a Seventh Grade Classroom

In an attempt to validate and expand the potential application of PALS for math in a wider variety of settings, this research study examined the effects of implementing a modified version of PALS for math with seventh grade students in regular education mathematics classes. Utilizing a pre-post group design with a nested within-subject ABC single case design, the results of this study suggested that an adaptation of PALS for math for seventh grade students resulted in significant improvement in posttest mathematics computation performance within the experimental group when their pretest mathematics computation scores were considered as covariates. When comparing the performance of lower performing and higher-performing students, lower performing students demonstrated higher average weekly ROI in comparison to higher-performing students. The results of this study suggest that implementing an adaptation of PALS for math with seventh grade students systematically provides opportunities for all students to engage in mathematical computation practice and provides students with high levels of error correction and feedback. PALS for math provides educators with a supplementary intervention that helps to support groups of students with diverse levels of mathematics achievement. The limitations and implications for future research are considered

Maine Mill Digital Curation

We worked with the Maine Mill Museum to help document the community response to the Lewiston shootings. We collected information and media for the museum workers to memorialize the victims, their families, and the events

On the metabolism of "Prenazone"

Investigation of the fate of 3H - "Prenazone" in rats indicated that 90% of the administered radioactivity is excreted in urine and feces 48h after injection. Feces constitute the main route of excretion since 70% of the radioactivity is recovered from them, while only 30% is excreted in the urine six days after administration. Negligible amounts of unchanged prenazone are excreted in the urine while most of the urinary radioactivity corresponds to biotransformation products. Some preliminary results on the metabolism of the drug in humans are also presented. © 1975
