THE DEVELOPMENT OF EARLY literacy knowledge is generally seen as an important aspect of early childhood education. The way early literacy learning is promoted, however, varies greatly in different national curriculum frameworks. This article compares the approach taken in the New Zealand early childhood curriculum (Te Whariki) with the approach outlined in the curriculum for young children in England (The Early Years Foundation Stage or EYFS). The curricula are compared in re I lation ! to (1) the description of literacy-related learning outcomes;(2) guidance for teacher's on how to foster literacy learning;and (3) guidance on formative and summative assessment. The EYFS contains more detailed information in each area of comparison. The article suggests that the lack of information on literacy in Te Whariki may mean that children are provided with an inadequate range of literacy experiences in New Zealand early childhood centres.

Even though classified as a new phenomenon, Islamic counseling is actually as old as the Islamic preaching activities among the people. It is because of counseling genuinely is an essential part from the religious activities as depict in a number of Islamic spiritual terminologies. For the context of Moslems society, the existence of institutionalize Islamic counseling occurred since the establishment of boarding schools. The increasing complexity of people's life is parallel with the increase of needs on the Islamic counseling.

Cooperative guidance problems of multiple missiles are considered in this article. A cooperative guidance scheme, where coordination algorithms and local guidance laws are combined together, is proposed. This scheme actually builds up a hierarchical cooperative guidance architecture, which may provide a general solution to the multimissile cooperative guidance problems. In the case of salvo attacks which require missiles to hit the target simultaneously, both centralized and distributed coordination algorithms are derived based on the impact-time-control guidance （ITCG） law. Numerical simulations are performed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approaches.

Patient retention is critically important in the conduct of a successful clinical trial. The power in numbers in multicenter trials is dependent on the completion of follow-up for every patient randomized. If at the end of a clinical trial, a significant number of randomized patients are missing outcome data, there will not be enough pool for data analyses to conclude a study based on its primary and secondary objectives. When patients who are either lost to follow-up or who withdraw consent during the clinical trial are eliminated from the data pool, they subsequently affect the power and the validity of conclusions derived from the clinical study. This paper aims to present current guidance on data retention for patients who have withdrawn consent from clinical trials.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has several unique advantages for guiding thermal ablation therapies. It not only provides excellent soft-tissue contrast and multiplanar capabilities, but also is sensitive to thermal effects. To make full use of these advantages for thermal ablation procedures, we present an integrated solution for a thermal therapy workflow that combines dedicated MRI pulse sequences and visualization/analysis tools for trajectory planning, automatic slice positioning for image-guided needle placement, and advanced MR thermal mapping. The paper highlights a novel approach to detect the needle in real-time MR images and to automatically realign the scan planes. In addition, a global approach to correct for B-0 field shift during online MR thermometry is introduced. The application has been implemented using the open-source eXtensible Imaging Platform (XIP).

We propose a general adaptive procedure to select the appropriate degree of assistance based on a Bayesian mechanism used to estimate psychophysical thresholds. This technique does not need an accurate model of learning and recovery processes. This procedure is validated in the context of a motor skill learning problem (control of a virtual object), in which the controller is used to gradually increase task difficulty as learning proceeds. These automatic adjustments of task difficulty or the degree of assistance can be used to promote not only motor skill learning but also neuromotor recovery.

With the concept of precision agricultural was proposed, the research of agricultural automatic vehicle was paid more attention to in the world. The fundamental element of machine vision based agricultural automatic navigation system was presented in this paper. It includes path finding, location & path tracing and motion controlling. The image processing, automatic control and sensor fusion techniques are the key for autonomous vehicle systems.

This paper is written from the perspective of a national safety regulator who wishes to help enable the new technology of carbon capture and storage (CCS) so that national and global strategic priorities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions can be met. Example CCS hazards are discussed. There is a substantial and ever increasing body of information about CCS. This requires proactive knowledge management to understand and prioritise gaps. The process used by the UK HSE is outlined. Examples are given of current gaps in knowledge, including regulatory considerations, guidance and standards related to CCS.
