Despite the numerous benefits of formal mentorship for all faculty, it remains underutilized within academy. Specifically, this lack critical support leaves historically marginalized groups, particularly women, underrepresented minorities, as well part-time, intermittent, adjunct, or non-tenure track to struggle with navigating challenging climate higher education. To counter these inherent pow...

This paper explains an implementation model for a new method for Production Leveling designed for batch production system. The main structure of this model is grounded on three constructs: traditional framework for Operations Planning, Lean Manufacturing concepts for Production Leveling and case study guidelines. By combining the first and second construct, a framework for Production Leveling h...

In this paper we present a new algorithm for leveling a discrete terrain using autonomous agents of minimal complexity. Our primary interest is in developing robust strategies for eventual application in underwater construction. Terrain leveling underwater typically involves the use of large and expensive machinery that may be cumbersome to operate. We propose that a swarm of autonomous robots ...

nowadays, combination of gps heights with orthometric heights, derived from precise leveling, is broadly used to obtain point-wise solutions of the geoid, which is called “gps/leveling geoid”. the “gps/leveling geoid” is commonly used to constrain the gravimetric geoid solutions in a least squares surface fitting process. in this paper, unlike the usual application, the “gps/leveling geoid” is ...

Coal mining subsidence seriously affects the mine natural and ecological environment. Leveling is the traditional method to monitor the coal mining subsidence. It is possible to monitor the subsidence by gravimetry instead of leveling based on the negative linear correlation between the gravity change and the height change. Equations are derived to monitor the subsidence by gravimetry in the pa...

Laser-controlled land leveling system can obviously improve the planeness of the field and enhance the efficiency of irrigation. The 3D topographic information was needed for project design and evaluation of laser land leveling. In order to obtain the topographic information efficiently, an onboard field 3D topography surveying system was developed. The surveying system consisted of a measuring...

COVER Immunostained fl uorescence microscopy image of memory engram–bearing cells (red) in the dentate gyrus of a mouse hippocampus (image width: 1.5 millimeters). These cells were genetically tricked to express the protein channelrhodopsin-2 during memory formation, thus becoming responsive to light stimulation. When the cells were activated by light, the mice simultaneously associated a genui...

karaji has introduced and explained the leveling instruments which were used at that time, in his book inb?t? al-miah al-khafiyyat (exploration for hidden water). added to the four studied leveling instruments, karaji introduces two more; “scaled vertical level” and “scaled telescopic level” which he mentions as his own inventions. in this paper after presenting these first four, the two levels...

Construction companies are required to employ effective methods of project planning and scheduling in today's competitive environment. Time cost critical factors success, they can vary based on the type amount resources used for activities, such as labor, tools, materials. In addition, resource leveling strategies that limit fluctuations a project's consumption also affect time cost. The multi-...

this paper is an attempt to shed light on the effects of modernization, urbanization, monolingual educational system, and mass media as well as the process of globalization on dialect leveling among persian dialects. in so doing, the first part of the paper elaborates on the relationship between globalization and sociolinguistics, and on the concept of standardization. also, it discusses some ...
