Miscibility of some poly(neopentyl glycol adipate)/chlorinated polymer blends

Poly(neopentyl glycol adipate), PDPA, was found to be miscible with poly(epichlorohydrin-co-ethylene oxide). PDPA also formed miscible blends with chlorinated polyethylene samples containing 48 and 42% by weight of chlorine. Chlorinated polyethylene with a lower chlorine content was not miscible with PDPA.     

Linear polynomial constraints inferencing algorithm

This paper propose the inference mechanism for handling linear polynomial constraints called consistency checking algorithm based on the feasibility checking algorithm borrowed from linear programming. In contrast with other approaches, proposed algorithm can efficiently and coherented by linear polynomial forms. The developed algorithm is successfully applied to the symbolic simulation that offers a convenient means to conduct multiple, simultaneous exploration of model behaviors.

Teachers' funds of knowledge and the teaching and learning of mathematics in multi-ethnic primary schools: Two teachers' views of linking home and school

In this paper we explore two teachers' views on the role(s) of parents, the local community and children's home lives in the learning of mathematics in primary school. We use Moll and Greenberg's concept of ‘funds of knowledge’ and apply it to the case studies of two teachers working in the UK context. Issues of teachers' professional experience, ethnicity, class and gender emerge as significant in examining similarities and differences in the teachers' beliefs, understandings and practices in the area of linking home and school. We end with a discussion of some implications for teacher education and professional development.
