This study investigated whether reading young adult literature motivated young adult ESL learners and hastened their English literacy learning. The primary question considered if reading young adult literature had a positive influence on literacy development and academic confidence for these non-English speaking new immigrant middle school students. The findings suggested that reading young adult literature extensively played a dynamic role in ESL student literacy success. Reading provided a foundation for their development in literacy and helped them think and reason. Reading served as a...

Big Data Analytics for Sensor-Network Collected Intelligence explores state-of-the-art methods for using advanced ICT technologies to perform intelligent analysis on sensor collected data. The book shows how to develop systems that automatically detect natural and human-made events, how to examine people's behaviors, and how to unobtrusively provide better services.

It begins by exploring big data architecture and platforms, covering the cloud computing infrastructure and how data is stored and visualized. The book then explores how big data is processed and managed, the key...

This book provides an explicit description of the interface fracture behavior of FRP bonded concrete that is subjected to temperature and moisture effects. Extensive characterization of each constituent material is performed. Measured properties, in conjunction with peel and shear fracture load data, are used to calculate joint toughness by means of a newly developed tri-layer fracture model. Computed toughness, along with outputs of a fracture mode-mix analysis and a 3D moisture diffusion simulation are synergistically analyzed. Results suggest that moisture can physically change...
