Job placement histories of 73 sheltered workshop employees placed in Projects With Industry (PWI) or competitive jobs in calendar year 1978 are examined during a 30 month period. Of the 27 people placed in PWI positions, 48% are subsequently placed in competitive jobs. Of the 53 competitive placements in 1978, 60% are competitively employed 71-80. Job variables such as structure appear to be mo...

Research and knowledge of violence against impoverished women continues to be limited. To achieve a more comprehensive understanding of violence against impoverished women and therefore inform prevention and intervention efforts for this population, the authors report on recent (past 6 months) physical, sexual, and psychological violence among 898 women who were randomly sampled from temporary ...

Forced convection can significantly influence the heat loss from birds and their offspring but effects may be reduced by using sheltered micro-sites such as cavities or constructing nests. The structural and thermal properties of the nests of two species, the spiny-cheeked honeyeater (Acanthagenys rufogularis) and yellow-throated miner (Manorina flavigula), were measured in relation to three wi...

This study examined whether children who become homeless differ from other low-income children in their mental health service use before and after their first homeless episode, and to what extent homelessness is associated with an increased likelihood of mental health service use. Differences between children with and without new onset of sheltered homelessness in the use of mental health servi...

Waterborne debris impacts during inundation events are a widely observed threat to structures in coastal communities. This study investigates the probability of impact and magnitude wave–current (N = 1,170) current-only 156) on exposed sheltered buildings within 10 × building array, using laboratory measurements structural loading response, flow hydrodynamics, video recordings transport impact....
