Data set from 250 primary school pupils from the Effutu Municipality were analysed using partial correlation and multiple regression analytical techniques. Among the study findings, that were when the effects of Parental Status were controlled for, Parental Support, Teacher Support, and Academic Motivation still related significantly to Academic Performance. Among the conclusions of the findings are that, whether the child was from a single or both parent home was not important with regard to his or her academic performance but rather it was the quality of support that the child gets from whoever is doing the parenting, teacher support and the child＇s own academic motivation that were important to determine the child＇s Academic Performance. The study also found that Parental Support was the best predictor of the pupils＇ Academic Performance out of the three factors includingTeacher Support and Academic Motivation.展开更多

The rough set-based technique was used to handle the uncertainty arisen from artifacts in the acquired images imprinted on a vehicle. However, it has been proved to be NP-hard to find all reductions and the minimal reduction, and generally different heuristic algorithms were used to find a set of reductions and the Ganssian distribution was used to describe the uncertainty to achieve the minimal reduction. On the basis of inductive logic programming, the technique can distinguish between two similar images, as is superior to the conventional pattern-recognition technique being merely capable of classifier. Furthermore, it can avoid some failures of the technique based on the correlation coefficient to authenticate binary image. The experiments show an accuracy rate close to 93. 2%.展开更多
