Language Predictors of Word-Problem Performance Among Third-Grade Students With Mathematics Difficulty.

We examined how generalized and mathematics-specific language skills predicted the word-problem performance of students with mathematics difficulty. Participants included 325 third-grade students in the southwestern United States who performed at or below the 25th percentile on a word-problem measure. We assessed generalized language skills in word reading, passage comprehension, and vocabulary knowledge.

Considerations for Intensifying Word-Problem Interventions for Students With MD: A Qualitative Umbrella Review of Relevant Meta-Analyses.

Word problem-solving (WPS) poses a significant challenge for many students, particularly those with mathematics difficulties (MD), hindering their overall mathematical development. To improve WPS proficiency, providing individualized and intensive interventions is critical. This umbrella review examined 11 medium- to high-quality meta-analyses to identify intervention and participant characteristics, informed by the Taxonomy of Intervention Intensity (TII) framework, that consistently moderate WPS outcomes for students with MD.

Invasive Nodal Staging via Endobronchial Ultrasound and Outcome in Patients Treated with Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy for Early-Stage Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer - Results from a Single Institution Study.

Introduction: Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is an effective treatment for medically inoperable early-stage non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The prognostic value of invasive nodal staging (INS) for patients undergoing SRBT has not been studied extensively. Herein, we report the impact of INS in addition to 18F-FDG-PET on treatment outcome for patients with NSCLC undergoing SBRT.

Copper Stimulation of Tetrahydrocannabinol and Cannabidiol Production in Hemp ( L.) Is Copper-Type, Dose, and Cultivar Dependent.

Copper (Cu) is an element widely used as a pesticide for the control of plant diseases. Cu is also known to influence a range of plant secondary metabolisms. However, it is not known whether Cu influences the levels of the major metabolites in hemp ( L.

Compliance Testing of Hemp ( L.) Cultivars for Total Delta-9 THC and Total CBD Using Gas Chromatography with Flame Ionization Detection.

The United States Agriculture Improvement Act passed in December of 2018 legalized the growing of containing not more than 0.3% total Delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in the country. While has been cultivated for hundreds of years, the illegal status of the plant in the United States, and elsewhere, has hindered the development of plant cultivars that meet this legal definition.
