TL;DR: An important concept underlying educational practic and philosophy is that of readiness, the notion that a child will not be successful in learning a concept or skill until he has reached a requisite stage of cognitive development i.e., until he is ready.
Abstract: n important concept underlying educational practic and philosophy is that of readiness. Following the pioneering work of child development researchers, particularly Gesell in the 1940s, educators have accepted the notion that a child will not be successful in learning a concept or skill until he has reached a requisite stage of cognitive development i.e., until he is ready. Children who encounter difficulties in school are often described as

TL;DR: Catalytic dehydrocoupling of phosphines was investigated using the anionic zirconocene trihydride salts and stoichiometric reactions gave [Cp*2Zr(H)(PH)2C6-H4]4][Li(thf)4] (22), and Mechanistic implications are discussed.
Abstract: Catalytic dehydrocoupling of phosphines was investigated using the anionic zirconocene trihydride salts [Cp*2Zr(mu-H)3Li]3 (1 a) or [Cp*2Zr(mu-H)3K(thf)4] (1 b), and the metallocycles [CpTi(NPtBu3)(CH2)4] (6) and [Cp*M(NPtBu3)(CH2)4] (M=Ti 20, Zr 21) as catalyst precursors. Dehydrocoupling of primary phosphines RPH2 (R=Ph, C6H2Me3, Cy, C10H7) gave both dehydrocoupled dimers RP(H)P(H)R or cyclic oligophosphines (RP)n (n=4, 5) while reaction of tBu3C6H2PH2 gave the phosphaindoline tBu2(Me2CCH2)C6H2PH 9. Stoichiometric reactions of these catalyst precursors with primary phosphines afforded [Cp*2Zr((PR)2)H][K(thf)4] (R=Ph 2, Cy 3, C6H2Me3 4), [Cp*2Zr((PPh)3)H][K(thf)4] (5), [CpTi(NPtBu3)(PPh)3] (7) and [CpTi(NPtBu3)(mu-PHPh)]2 (8), while reaction of 6 with (C6H2tBu3)PH2 in the presence of PMe3 afforded [CpTi(NPtBu3)(PMe3)(P(C6H2tBu3)] (10). The secondary phosphines Ph2PH and (PhHPCH2)2CH2 also undergo dehydrocoupling affording (Ph2P)2 and (PhPCH2)2CH2. The bisphosphines (CH2PH2)2 and C6H4(PH2)2 are dehydrocoupled to give (PCH2CH2PH)2)(12) and (C6H4P(PH))2 (13) while prolonged reaction of 13 gave (C6H4P2)(8) (14). The analogous bisphosphine Me2C6H4(PH)2 (17) was prepared and dehydrocoupling catalysis afforded (Me2C6H2P(PH))2 (18) and subsequently [(Me2C6H2P2)2(mu-Me2C6H2P2)]2 (19). Stoichiometric reactions with these bisphosphines gave [Cp*2Zr(H)(PH)2C6-H4][Li(thf)4] (22), [CpTi(NPtBu3)(PH)2C6H4]2 (23) and [Cp*Ti(NPtBu3)(PH)2C6H4] (24). Mechanistic implications are discussed.

TL;DR: The model optimizes the expected total cost per accepted component resulting from type I errors, type II errors, cost of added inspection, and ordering of quality characteristics for inspection to determine the optimal number of inspections.
Abstract: In this paper a mathematical model is developed for determining the optimal number of inspections for multicharacteristic components where failure can be catastrophic. The model optimizes the expected total cost per accepted component resulting from (1) type I errors, (2) type II errors, (3) cost of added inspection, and (4) ordering of quality characteristics for inspection. The model considers components with several characteristics to be inspected. Failure to meet the quality requirements of any one characteristic results in the rejection of the component. Taking into consideration all three costs referred to above, a mathematical expression for expected total cost per accepted component is obtained. Also, an expression is developed for finding the optimal sequence of characteristic inspection. Finally, a computational procedure is outlined to determine the optimal sequence of characteristic inspection and the optimal number of inspections using the two expressions stated above.
