The purpose of this study was to identify the characteristics of male occupational therapists so that better strategies for recruiting men into the profession can be developed and the problem of retaining men in the field can be addressed. Male occupational therapists were surveyed at 3-year intervals, in 1978, 1982, and 1985. Our survey results were compared with results of the 1969 American O...

Late adolescents with career choice problems often have psychological problems as well. The starting point of this study was the question of career choice counselors whether potential clients with career choice problems and psychological problems could be accepted in career choice intervention, or whether it was better to advise them to seek help for their psychological problems. We investigate...

The major challenge that confronts undergraduate chemical education in US is the gap between the high demands that learning requires and the low efforts that students make partially due to the lack of motivation. This paper reports strategies to ameliorate student learning in the following areas: application of friendly presentation, utilization of analogies and correlation with everyday life. ...

We consider algebraic varieties de)ned by the vanishing of all minors of a )xed size of a rectangular matrix with indeterminate entries such that the indeterminates in these minors are restricted to lie in a ladder shaped region of the rectangular array. Explicit formulae for the Hilbert function of such varieties are obtained in (i) the rectangular case by Abhyankar (Rend. Sem. Mat. Univers. P...

Doped and undoped ladders have focused a lot of attention in recent years due to the existence of materials with that structure; some of them are close relatives of the high-Tc oxides as the series Sr2nl22Cu2nlO4nl22 where nl is the number of legs forming the ladder. The undoped Heisenberg spin ladders with nl even are known to be spin liquids with a spin gap and exponential decaying correlatio...

New results for the t − J model in ladders: Changes in the spin liquid state with applied magnetic field. Implications for the cuprates. Abstract. Exact Diagonalization calculations are presented for the t − J model in the presence of a uniform magnetic field. Results for 2×L ladders (L = 8, 10, 12) and 4×4 square clusters with 1 and 2 holes indicate that the diamagnetic response to a perpendic...
