After obtaining a Medical Degree following years of study and the subsequent long and exhausting specialty education program, the tired and now not-so-young doctor has to ship-off to rural areas and practice in a small town in order to gather " Points " compulsory for a Pe...

Approximately 60% of the households in Ulaanbaatar live in gers (a traditional Mongolian dwelling) in districts outside the legal limits of the city, without access to basic infrastructure, such as water, sewage systems, central heating, and paved roads, in contrast to apartment residents. This stark difference in living conditions creates different public health challenges for Ulaanbaatar resi...

We characterize the volume entropy of a regular building as the topological pressure of the geodesic flow on an apartment. We show that the entropy maximizing measure is not Liouville measure for any regular hyperbolic building. As a consequence, we obtain a strict lower bound on the volume entropy in terms of the branching numbers and the volume of the boundary polyhedrons.

We have developed a computational model of the process of describing the layout of an apartment or house, a much-studied discourse task first character ized linguistically by Linde (1974). The model is embodied in a program, APT, that can reproduce segments of actual tape-recorded descriptions, using organizational and discourse strategies derived through analysis of our

This study assessed the cost and effectiveness of a building-wide cockroach integrated pest management (IPM) program compared with bait alone treatment in public housing. In total, 12 buildings (66 apartments) were treated and monitored for cockroach infestations over 7 mo. The buildings were divided into two groups: bait treatment and IPM. Apartments in the bait alone group were treated with M...

1 GiraffPlus system This abstract describes how a context recognition system and a configuration planner can interact to enable personalised activity monitoring in apartments with different features. The two systems are developed to supporting independent living of senior citizens (primary users) by monitoring their daily interaction with the environment. For this purpose , networked non-intrus...

BACKGROUND The design and development of school health programmes will require information at demographic characteristics of schoolchildren and the major health burdens of the school-age group, the opportunities for intervention and the appropriateness of the available infrastructure. This study aims to analyse demographic and parasitic infections status of schoolchildren and sanitary condition...
