From the Foreword by
Colonel Walter J. Boyne, USAF (Ret.)
"Written in a brisk, accessible style, this encyclopedia provides a collective
description of the principle weapons systems of the United
States at the most definitive juncture of American defense policy . . .
"The authors have provided listings for all U.S. weapons anywhere
in the world, encompassing systems as old as the Douglas C-47
'Gooney Bird' and as new as its twenty-first-century successor, the
McDonnell Douglas C-17 Globemaster III. Each individual listing
provides information on the weapons system, its evolution, development,
variants, combat experience and specifications. The coverage
of ships is particularly valuable, for it includes a listing of every
ship within its class, by hull number, ship's name, builder, and with
key dates. Similarly, exhaustive detail is provided for armored fighting
vehicles, missiles, and other weapons.
"Tim Laur and Steve Llanso are experts in the field and their book
is an important contribution to military literature, providing as it
does an instant reference to the weapons systems of all the services
of the United States."

Once in a time, nearby the large forest, a poor woodcutter lived with his wife and two children. The son's name was called Hansel and the daughter was Gretel. The children were always neglected by their stepmother. She didn't love them and wanted to get rid of them and felt burden because of their presence at the house. There was the scarcity of food and famine in the region, so their father was unable to give food to the children. The stepmother was cruel and unkind to the children. That is why the stepmother made a plan to leave the children in the forest and for that reason she compelled her husband to leave the children in the forest. The children also understood the plan of their parents but didn't do anything and accepted the bitter reality. They were suffering from hunger. The boy Hansel was very clever and he had gone out at night, filled his pocket with pebbles so as to scatter in the way of their trip to the forests. One day in the morning, the poor family had begun their trip to forest with the intention to leave the innocent children. Hansel threw the pebbles on the road one by one. When they reached the forest, their father and mother left them were sleeping nearby the fireside. As the children woke up at night, found them alone and their parents had not there, so they waited until the moon rose and followed the road where the pebbles shone like silver pieces. They were able to come in to their house because of the pebbles. Their stepmother was restless to see them but the father was happy. The parents made another plan to leave them into more dense forest and the children had overhead the conversation of their parents but they couldn't do anything as they were trapped in the room and given some breadcrumbs by the stepmother for the next day and went to a thick forest. But this time Hansel threw the pieces of bread on the road. When the father and mother came back home like before leaving the children in the forest in their deep sleep, the children woke up at night, followed the road but the pieces of bread were not there They missed the road, were tired and fell asleep under a tree. They followed a singing bird when they woke up. They reached a house. The roof of the house was made up of bread and the windows of sugar. The hungry children began to eat the house. An old woman came out from the house. She took them inside the house. They felt that it was heaven. The woman was wicked witch. She wanted to kill and eat them. So she imprisoned Hansel in the stable, gave good food to fatten him. But once, Gretel pushed the woman into the oven and bolted the door of oven and the woman burnt to death. Then Gretel being very happy freed her brother.

It deals with the triangles on the spherical triangles and other figures which lies on the sphere and the sides of which are not straight lines but circular arcs. It is the relations connecting the sides and angles of a spherical triangle. This is often applied in determining the position of countries, cities, rivers, etc. mostly in astronomy and navigation.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effect of summarization strategies teaching on usage of summarization strategies and narrative text summarization success. The study was carried out in a single-group pre-test-post-test model without a control group. 35 Turkish teacher candidates participated in the study. Data was collected with Strategies for Text Summarization questionnaire, 140 summary texts which were written by teacher candidates and Text Summary Evaluation Rubric to evaluate these summaries. The experimental process of the study lasted five weeks. As a result of the analysis made, an increase in the usage of summarization strategies and a significant difference in favor of post-test in summarization success were observed. Summarization strategies whereby the most positive change is seen are "determining the main idea, starting the first sentence with an introduction sentence that expresses the subject of the main text, summarizing in accordance with subject or event order and time consistency, expressing the main idea of text in the final sentence of summary, and paying attention to the distinction between the author and the summarizer in the style of the summary text". Summarization is an indication of level of reading comprehension. For this reason, teaching of summarization strategies should be included in reading studies at all levels.

All of the words in the text work together, that is, they are coherent, to create a message bigger than any one word on its own. Cohesion is the collective name for all of those links that connect the different parts of a text. A word that is interpretable is a word that refers specifically to someone or something. Those things that are being referred back to can be called either referents or antecedents. Anaphoric reference and cataphoric reference are known together as endophoric reference, which means that they refer to words that are found in the text. Anaphoric reference means that a word in a text refers back to other ideas in the text for its meaning. Refer forward to words that will come later in the text. This is called cataphoric reference. An exophoric reference refers to the context, which is the physical space or situation in which the text is produced. Think of the en in endophoric as meaning in the text and the exo in exophoric as meaning exit or out of the text. Inclusive "we" refers to both the speaker and the listener, such as when I say "We should have lunch together sometime", to you. Exclusive "we" refers to the speaker and other people, but doesn't include the listener, as in "We'd appreciate it if you'd be quiet for a minute." Halliday and Hasan (1976) list three types of reference: personal, demonstrative and comparative.

Functional analysis is one of the more robust advances in the assessment and treatment of severe behavior. Using technologies to identify the function of aberrant behavior and adjunctive reinforces to develop treatment packages is crucial to developing interventions designed to reduce aberrant behaviors while increasing alternative replacement responses. Descriptive assessments, preference assessments, reinforce assessments, and experimental functional analyses are tools that have been empirically validated to accomplish this goal. These methods have been shown to be effective in inpatient settings, homes, schools, and outpatient clinics. This study examines the use of these procedures for 118 clients evaluated in either an outpatient clinic and in the natural setting (i.e., schools, homes, and daycares). All procedures were conducted by graduate students enrolled a BCBA approved program for Masters Level practitioners. In addition, all evaluations were supervised by a doctoral level behavior analyst. We present a descriptive summary of the effectiveness of (a) the effectiveness of using the Motivation Assessment Scale at identifying maintaining functions compared to experimental analysis outcomes, (b) the preference assessment to identify reinforcing stimuli, and (c) the effectiveness of treatment packages developed. The efficacy of the outpatient model to serve clients with severe problem behaviors is discussed.

This Chapter provides an overview of the study conducted. This is done firstly by providing a summary of each Chapter of the thesis, highlighting the main issues treated in each Chapter. Secondly, conclusions are drawn from the findings of the literature study in Chapter two and Chapter three, as well as from the findings of the empirical investigation from Chapter five. The writing of the conclusions was guided by the research questions that the study sought to answer. In view of these conclusions, recommendations on the improvement of learner performance at rural schools are made for possible consideration and implementation by education stakeholders.

Basic data on distribution, composition, and size of coral communities are extremely scarce for the Southeast Pacifi. With only 23 known species of azooxanthellate
Scleractinia, 12 antipatharians, 13 hydrocorals, and approximately 10–15 gorgonians,
Chilean coral fauna have been considered to be rather poor. Contradictory to this assumption, recent studies record extensive, diverse, and hitherto unknown coral communities in shallow water of the Chilean fjord region. The distribution of stony corals was
mapped along bathymetric and horizontal transects within the Comau Fjord (42°30´S),
as well as along east-west and north-south transects in large parts of the Chilean fjord
region (42°S–55°S). Habitat-forming hydrocoral (Errina antarctica Gray, 1872) and
gorgonian communities were documented from shallow waters. In addition, we provide
a list of coral species that were accidentally sampled as bycatch of fiheries on demersal
species. Seven of the 23 Chilean scleractinians have been added through these recent
fidings; two of them have recently been described. Five of the antipatharians represent
newly added records for Chile with one new species included. These numbers indicate
that the diversity and abundance of cold-water corals in Chile might be much higher
than previously assumed. Based on the fidings, we discuss potential threats and protection measures for these newfound communities
