David Evans and Associates Inc. (DEA) conducted 15 case studies to evaluate examples of the integration of the Growth Management Act (GMA) and the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) since the adoption of the Regulatory Reform Act of 1995. The selected case studies included rural, urban, redevelopment, new development, master planned resorts, master planned sites, multijurisdictions, one GMA ...

Is coarticulation a reflection of planning an utterance or the automatic effect of producing speech? This question was examined by requiring speakers to begin reading nonsense aCV or abVCa strings (where C was fbi or IpI and V was Iii or lui) aloud before seeing the entire utterance. Those segments known before articulation began exerted normal anticipatory coarticulatory influences, while thos...

We provide conceptual introductions to missingness mechanisms--missing completely at random, missing at random, and missing not at random--and state-of-the-art methods of handling missing data--full-information maximum likelihood and multiple imputation--followed by a discussion of planned missing designs: Multiform questionnaire protocols, 2-method measurement models, and wave-missing longitud...

The successful use of continuous curvilinear (circular) capsulorhexis (CCC) in planned extracapsular cataract extraction (ECCE) is dependent on the feasibility of safe nuclear delivery through the smaller anterior capsular opening. Experimental evidence supports the proposition that the anterior capsular rim can stretch without tearing to dimensions which allow for safe nucleus delivery. Clinic...

This paper presents a novel real-time path planning algorithm for an autonomous mobile agent in completely unknown environment. In this algorithm, all the planned paths are described and stored in the form of vectors in the algorithm. Only the rotation angle and the movement distance in a single direction are considered when the autonomous moves along the planned paths. The algorithm combines r...

International Planned Parenthood Federation / Western Hemisphere Region (IPPF/WHR) This questionnaire explores clients’ perspectives about the services where providers have begun to screen clients in a health setting for gender-based violence on a routine basis. If at least 5% of clients interviewed answer negatively to any of the questions (indicating dissatisfaction), the area of quality repr...

We aimed to describe enrollment patterns in a large cohort of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and evaluate whether early recruitment predicts the ability of RCTs to reach their target enrollment. We considered all 77 efficacy RCTs initiated by the AIDS Clinical Trials Group between 1986 and 1996 (28,992 patients enrolled until November 1999). Thirteen RCTs (17%) failed to reach half their t...

BACKGROUND Depression is a common and disabling condition. In Chile, assistance is guaranteed by law through a national program for depression in primary care services, and there is evidence of effective treatment for depressed women. However, there is a shortage of evidence-based treatments for depression in adolescents. The incorporation of technology to expand therapeutic options is becoming...

Its provides fast analysis and correlation of assorted geographical contexts. This method planned collects the data and integration marine data kind satellite pictures. This method automatic collects the surface location of the target. The system gets all info concernin...
