    Abstract:
    An alternating treatments design was employed to compare the effectiveness of two group-training formats relative to individual training in teaching three severely handicapped adults to identify Bliss symbols. In one group format, each individual learned the same symbols; whereas, each learned different symbols in the other group format. Results indicated either equivalent or faster acquisition in group training than in individual training only when the same symbols were taught to each group member. When different symbols were taught to each member of the group, acquisition was slower than during individual training. Each student also demonstrated observational learning of some symbols being taught to other members of the group. Results are discussed in terms of their implications for using group training as a practical and efficient alternative to individualized instruction in classroom situations.

    Focusing on the output of Elizabeth Howe Bliss, a Progressive Era travelling social worker, this article explores the snapshots Bliss made in New York City, Oklahoma and France. Although circulated in her own time, Bliss’s images and their publication history have only recently been rediscovered. They deserve further analysis as they illuminate the practices of women using photography personally and professionally during the early decades of the twentieth century, and for their value to researchers of photographic history and beyond. This article argues for the importance of recirculating Bliss’s snapshots – as well as other forms of vernacular imagery – through the digital dissemination made possible by platforming these photographic materials online within virtual spaces, and considers the specifics of one such platform, the Smithsonian Learning Lab.

    A new general method is given based on the analyses of bi-level integrated system synthesis(BLISS),which can be used both in the decomposition of the system and in the establishment of the objective function for BLISS.And it is used in the illustration of a gear down equipment optimization to prove its feasibility and effectiveness.It may be used as the complementarity and improvement of BLISS in the sense of practical use.

    The relative ease of learning with Bliss symbols or words was investigated in both moderately and severely retarded children. It was found that Bliss symbols were the more easily learned and that this was most evident in the severely retarded children. The conclusion is drawn that it may be of benefit to use Bliss symbols with this intellectual level to establish some functional communication.
