This collection from the 12th International Conference on Magnesium
Alloys and Their Applications (Mg 2021)-the longest running
conference dedicated to the development of magnesium alloys-covers
the breadth of magnesium research and development, from primary
production to applications to end-of-life management. Authors from
academia, government, and industry discuss new developments in
magnesium alloys and share valuable insights. Topics in this volume
include but are not limited to the following: Primary production
Alloy development Solidification and casting processes Forming and
thermo-mechanical processing Other manufacturing process
development (including joining and additive manufacturing)
Corrosion and protection Modeling and simulation Structural,
functional, biomedical, and energy applications Advanced
characterization and fundamental theories Recycling and
environmental issues
Research in cognitive psychology, linguistics, and artificial
intelligence - the three disciplines that have the most direct
application to an understanding of the mental processes in reading
- is presented in this multilevel work, originally published in
1980, that attempts to provide a systematic and scientific basis
for understanding and building a comprehensive theory of reading
comprehension. The major focus is on understanding the processes
involved in the comprehension of written text. Underlying most of
the contributions is the assumption that skilled reading
comprehension requires a coordination of text with context in a way
that goes far beyond simply chaining together the meanings of a
string of decoded words. The topics discussed are divided into five
general areas: Global Issues; Text Structure; Language, Knowledge
of the World, and Inference; Effects of Prior Language Experience;
and Comprehension Strategies and Facilitators, and represent a
broad base of methodology and data that should be of interest not
only to those concerned with the reading process, but also to basic
science researchers in psychology, linguistics, artificial
intelligence, and related disciplines.
Even before the No Child Left Behind Act, there was much
discouragement about educational institutions. Now, with a focus on
high-level accountability, the mood in schools has dropped even
further. Many schools are overcrowded and face the task of
educating students from varied and sometimes broken environments.
Test scores often stay low in spite of great effort expended to
improve them. Many teachers are in desperate need of retooling. All
of this can combine to produce a bleak atmosphere of failure. In
the midst of improving curriculum, instruction, and assessment--and
while working hard to improve students' test scores--attention
needs to be spent on nurturing the human spirit so that this
challenging task can continue with hope and confidence. This
resource helps educators learn successful ways to respond to
today's increasing diversity among both student body and faculty.
The author looks at what school leaders must do to invigorate and
sustain the spirits of members of their learning communities as
they drive toward achieving demanding goals. Practical tools and
strategies in every chapter help speed the translation from theory
to practice, and planning templates and completed samples offer
essential elements needed for change.

Albanian cinema truly represents a terra incognita for most of the
world. Decidedly Europe’s most isolated country during the Cold
War era, communist Albania had already been cut off from the West
for centuries as a one of the western-most outposts of the Ottoman
empire. Nonetheless, and unknown to most of the world, communist
Albania had a vibrant cinema tradition. Although bound by official
orthodoxy, the films of the state-run Kinostudio enterprise were
surprisingly innovative and, at times, daringly subversive. This
book opens with examinations of moving images in Albania from the
Ottoman period, through those captured under independence and the
Fascist occupation. It subsequently foregrounds transformations in
Kinostudio, from the early optimism of socialist realism through
the brooding social angst of the 1980s, which constitute a bridge
to the socioeconomic concerns of Albanian films of the
postcommunist period.
