Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services, US Department of Education, 2010
The "29th Annual Report to Congress on the Implementation of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, 2007" follows the 2006--i.e., the 28th annual report--in sequence. The "29th Annual Report to Congress" is, however, the first to have three volumes. In the 28th and earlier editions, volume 2 consisted of data tables…

Tombros, Anastasios; Villa, Robert; Van Rijsbergen, C. J. – Information Processing & Management, 2002
Discusses hierarchic document clustering in information retrieval and its potential improved effectiveness over inverted file search (IFS). Describes experiments conducted to determine whether hierarchic clustering can increase the retrieval effectiveness compared to both static clustering and of conventional IFS when it is applied to search…

Brooks, Terrence A. – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1990
Describes a study in which comprehensive bibliographies and related literatures were compared by clustering indices, Bradford multipliers, bibliograph slopes, and reference scattering coefficients. It is concluded that the clustering index has the potential for being a useful tool in comparing the intensity of clustering of different literatures.…

McCain, Katherine W. – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1986
To test validity of cocitation studies as representations of intellectual structure, five-six years of aggregate cocitation data for 41 authors in macroeconomics and 49 authors in genetics of fruit flies were compared with independent judgments of interauthor similarity collected from 14 macroeconomists and 15 geneticists via a card-sorting…

Miyamoto, S.; Nakayama, K. – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1983
A method of two-stage clustering of literature based on citation frequency is applied to 5,065 articles from 57 journals in environmental and civil engineering. Results of related methods of citation analysis (hierarchical graph, clustering of journals, multidimensional scaling) applied to same set of articles are compared. Ten references are…

White, Howard D.; Griffith, Belver C. – Information Processing and Management, 1987
Describes study that compared and judged the quality of subject indexing in online bibliographic databases. Documents from medical behavioral science literature are used with terms drawn from MEDLINE, PsychINFO, BIOSIS, and Excerpta Medica. Comparative statistics are presented on how each database links related documents and discriminates among…

Griffiths, Alan; And Others – Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1986
Reports on comparative study of document classifications produced by use of single linkage, complete linkage, group average, and Ward clustering methods. Findings of work that compares use of clusters consisting of pairs of documents with conventional best match searches are also reported. Thirty-four references are provided. (EJS)

Griffiths, Alan; And Others – Journal of Documentation, 1984
Considers classifications produced by application of single linkage, complete linkage, group average, and word clustering methods to Keen and Cranfield document test collections, and studies structure of hierarchies produced, extent to which methods distort input similarity matrices during classification generation, and retrieval effectiveness…

Denney, Nancy Wadsworth; Ziobrowski, Martin – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1972
Study suggests that, rather than being less able to organize information, young children simply organize according to different criteria than adults. (Authors)

Arnold, Carolyn L. – 1997
Addressed to institutional researchers, this report from California's Chabot College presents information on National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) data sets. Included is a discussion on how these data sets can be used to create peer groups of U.S. colleges, and to produce statistics on major student variables for each of these groups.…

Can, Fazli – Information Processing and Management, 1994
Discussion of relevancy in information retrieval systems focuses on an analysis of the efficiency of various cluster-based retrieval (CBR) strategies. A method for combining CBR and inverted index search is proposed that is cost effective in terms of time efficiency; and results of experiments are reported. (Contains 32 references.) (LRW)

SAFFORD, PHILIP L. – 1967
DUNN'S PHYSICAL ANALOG THEORY OF COGNITIVE STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION WAS EXTENDED TO THE ANALYSIS OF CONCEPTUAL FUNCTIONING ASSOCIATED WITH EMOTIONAL DISTURBANCE AND MENTAL RETARDATION IN CHILDREN. THE THEORY, WHICH DESCRIBES THE INTERNAL REPRESENTATION OF INFORMATION IN THE FORM OF A COGNITIVE MATRIX OF ASSOCIATED DIMENSIONAL CONCEPTS, HAS BEEN…
