Kieran Ferris / Liam Bannon Interaction Design Centre University of Limerick Ireland [email protected] [email protected] Abstract The Cardboard Box Garden (CBG) originated from a shared dissatisfaction with current computer technology as it is presented to children. This paper shall briefly review the process involved in the creation of this installation, from motivation through to design and...

Introduction The overall health status of workers of tea garden of Bangladesh is below the national standard. Also, almost nothing has been reported about status of hepatitis virus infection among these population and there is also a lack of consensus. Materials and methods Several health-related facts, especially those of liver diseases, were collected from 130 workers of tea garden via ques...

A botanic garden is essentially a museum of living plants. The word 'museum' is derived from the name of the Greek goddesses of learning and the arts; thus a museum is a place devoted to the pursuit of such studies. A botanic garden is primarily a place where plants are grown for scientific study. But a garden differs from a museum in the fact that the objects in it are living and growing, and ...

BACKGROUND Schools face increasing demands to provide education on healthy living and improve core academic performance. Although these appear to be competing concerns, they may interact beneficially. This article focuses on school garden programs and their effects on students' academic and dietary outcomes. METHODS Database searches in CABI, Web of Science, Web of Knowledge, PubMed, Educatio...

AIMS To test the relationship between greenery in gardens at residential facilities for older people and the self-perceived health of residents, mediated by experiences of being away and fascination when in the garden and the frequency of visitation there. To examine how these indirect effects vary with the number of physical barriers to visiting the garden. BACKGROUND Many older people in re...

Garden type I fractures include incomplete fractures and impacted fractures. With advances in scientific technology and medical treatment, certain deficiencies of the Garden classification have become apparent. The authors hypothesized that the incidence of incomplete femoral neck fractures was low and that impacted femoral neck fractures were not undisplaced and stable fractures. A new method ...

We present a cognitive process model of human sentence comprehension based on generalized left-corner parsing. A search heuristic based upon previouslyparsed corpora derives garden path effects, garden path paradoxes, and the local coherence effect.

The European Groundwater Directive could be improved by limiting the scopes of the Annexes I and II to the manmade and natural substances, respectively, and by defining a common monitoring protocol. The changes in the European landuse patterns, in particular the urban sprawl phenomena, obscure the distinction between the point and diffuse sources of contamination. In the future more importance ...

Sentinel-1 IWS acquisitions can be used for SAR interferometry. In our contribution the focus is on the S1 IWS InSAR coherence. For this we address in a first part the interferogram generation and coherence estimation. Then in a second part we use data examples to get a first impression on the potential of the S1 IWS InSAR coherence for landuse classification and to monitor temporal change
