How Much Do Village Libraries Increase Reading? Results Of A Survey Of 10th Graders In Burkina Faso, Michael Kevane, Alain Joseph Sissao Jan 2008

How Much Do Village Libraries Increase Reading? Results Of A Survey Of 10th Graders In Burkina Faso, Michael Kevane, Alain Joseph Sissao

Economics

This paper offers an estimate of the impact of small public libraries in villages in Burkina Faso on reading habits. A survey of secondary school students was conducted in March 2005. Students were selected in eight villages that matched the criteria ‘with library’ and ‘without library’. Overall the reading level of students in the sample was quite low, but the results indicate that the presence of a well-functioning library leads to an increase in reading on the order of 50%.

Lésions Professionnelles Indemnisées Au Québec En 2000-2002. I : Profil Statistique Par Activité Économique, Patrice Duguay, Paul Massicotte, Pascale Prud'homme

Portraits statistiques

Cette étude s’inscrit dans un processus d’exploitation des données statistiques de la CSST, conjointement avec les données du recensement canadien, processus qui a débuté il y a près de 25 ans à l’IRSST. Le jumelage de ces deux sources de données permet d’obtenir des portraits statistiques de la situation d’ensemble des travailleurs québécois indemnisés pour des lésions professionnelles, qui ne seraient pas disponibles autrement. La connaissance des groupes de travailleurs ayant les indicateurs de lésions professionnelles indemnisées les plus élevés, les groupes cibles, constitue une information précieuse pour la planification de la recherche ou de l’intervention en santé et sécurité …

A Seeded Genetic Algorithm For Rna Secondary Structural Prediction With Pseudoknots, Ryan Pham Jan 2008

A Seeded Genetic Algorithm For Rna Secondary Structural Prediction With Pseudoknots, Ryan Pham

Master's Projects

This work explores a new approach in using genetic algorithm to predict RNA secondary structures with pseudoknots. Since only a small portion of most RNA structures is comprised of pseudoknots, the majority of structural elements from an optimal pseudoknot-free structure are likely to be part of the true structure. Thus seeding the genetic algorithm with optimal pseudoknot-free structures will more likely lead it to the true structure than a randomly generated population. The genetic algorithm uses the known energy models with an additional augmentation to allow complex pseudoknots. The nearest-neighbor energy model is used in conjunction with Turner’s thermodynamic parameters …
