This report is done as an assignment for the practicum field experiences that need to be completed as part of coursework for Cognitive Assessment and Intervention, which is part of the School Psychology Graduate Professional Diploma Program. Background: Rachel is a nine years one-month-old Hispanic female, who voluntarily and with the written consent of her parents agreed to be evaluated by a school psychology candidate enrolled in Cognitive Assessment and Intervention course at New Jersey City…

appear to be a cause for concern for Mr. Moreno’s learning or memory abilities at this time. Mr. Moreno was administered the WTAR. Mr. Moreno’s cognitive outcomes were stable and average in performance. The estimate of Mr. Moreno’s premorbid Full-Scale IQ was 84 plus or minus 15 points or likely falling in the Low Average Range in the 14-percentile range. Mr. Moreno’s scores on the Personality Assessment Screener (PAS) suggest a marked risk for clinical problems in areas…

Balance Assessment in Parkinson’s Disease Using Virtual Reality Evidence-based practice includes the integration of patient values and focuses on the most appropriate course of action through clinical expertise and best available research. In order to produce the best research a clinician must form an adequate question and search strategy, critique the research found, critically interpret the findings, and apply them to each patient scenario. For instance, a clinical scenario could be, “Gerald…

The Beaufort Gyre, a major anticyclonic circulation feature in the Arctic Ocean, hosts a substantial fraction of the overall Arctic freshening citep{haine2015arctic}. The large-scale gyre circulation has been directly linked to its freshwater content (FWC) via the process of Ekman pumping that converges relatively fresh surface waters and deepens the halocline citep[e.g.][]{proshutinsky2002role}. The Ekman pumping arises due to transient anticyclonic winds that cause significant gyre…

but neglect the beauty that lies within. The novel The Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton celebrates the eloquence and elaborate structure of the high society in which the characters live, but through the use of characters Newland Archer, Julius Beaufort, and Ellen Olenska, satirizes the extreme actions and views of its members and their dependency on such a structure. Throughout the novel, Newland Archer complains…

sea ice area and extent through the end of the century. Despite this anticipated trend, inter-annual variability in arctic sea ice extent remains relatively unpredictable. The variables affecting sea ice growth include, but are not limited to, large-scale atmospheric circulation, local meteorology, and dynamical surface fluxes, thus the forcing on arctic sea ice is complex issue. This study takes a closer look at the effect of wintertime downwelling longwave radiation on summer sea ice…

run. An example of grade inflation is when teachers grade students based on their effort and/or enthusiasm to learn than the mastery of the content. The U.S. Education system has been trending more in favor of grade inflation as society changes. At Beaufort County Community College grade inflation is not challenging the student and leaving them unprepared, unmotivated and content with the quality of their education. Therefore the Board should implement a board of…

6.3 Research question #3 How do mercury stable isotopes ratio change in mercury bio-uptake and bio-magnification in an Arctic marine ecosystem? There is still debate in the scientific community about Hg trophic transfer and/or in vivo transformations lead to MDF and MIF of Hg isotopes (Bergquist and Blum, 2007; Perrot et al., 2012; Senn et al., 2010; Kwon et al., 2012; Das et al., 2009). The MDF and MIF signatures of food webs may help to identify major sources and processes leading to…

 What is wind and how it works :- Wind is moving air and is caused by differences in air pressure within our atmosphere, Air under high pressure moves toward areas of low pressure , The greater the difference in pressure, the faster the air flows. Air may not seem like anything at all, in fact, we look right through it all the time, but during a windstorm, air really makes its presence known, Wind is able to lift roofs off buildings, blow down power lines and trees, and cause highway accidents…

But, when we learned Winston morphed into a Beaufort scale Cat 5, realization hit hard. “Extremely dangerous”, “very destructive”, and “typical gusts over 280 knots” meant we might lose our boat. Winston ambushed Savusavu, arriving 10 hours earlier than predicted late Saturday morning. It bombarded…
