R efuse is collected all around the world. The following collecting methods are mentioned in the literature: bags (plastic and paper), bins (110–150 l), drums (110–210 l), twowheeled containers (80–360 l), and four-wheeled containers (300–1800 l). Over all, the job of a refuse collector can be characterised by frequent lifting, carrying, pushing, and/or pulling of heavy objects. In the Netherla...

VectoBac DT, a tablet formulation of Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti) was evaluated for the potential control of dengue vectors in various types of potable water containers. On introduction to containers, the tablet sinks to the bottom and the Bti toxins are found concentrated at the sides and the base, while the treated water column is free of Bti toxins within 24 hours after tablet in...

Ground-penetrating radar mapping allows for a three-dimensional analysis of archaeological features within the context of landscape studies. The method’s ability to measure the intensity of radar reflections from as deep as 5 meters in the ground can produce images and maps of buried features not visible on the surface. A study was conducted in the desert of the American Southwest to study the ...

Recently, an increasing number of public cloud vendors added Containers as a Service (CaaS) to their service portfolio. This is an adequate answer to the growing popularity of Docker, a software technology allowing Linux containers to run independently on a host in an isolated environment. As any software can be deployed in a container, the nature of containers differs and thus assorted allocat...

By means of an apparatus featuring a set of suspended baited containers, search abilities of 4 capuchin monkeys (Cebus apeUa) were evaluated. The experiment featured different spatial configurations of the search space. Results showed that monkeys exhaustively searched 9 containers spatially distributed as a 3 × 3 matrix, a cross, a line, or a circle. Search efficiency was higher when the searc...

We consider the implementation of an algorithm for the transfer of citrus using an intelligent model for trains, this research is performed based on the problem of packing in containers (Bin Packing), so that objects or boxes should be accommodated in a finite number of cubes considering to minimize the use of containers. The problem of packing containers will be understood and made according t...

OBJECTIVE This study extended previous work of Rice, Leonard, and Carter [AJOT, 52(8), 621-626] and examined the relationship between grip and pinch strengths and the forces produced while accessing common household containers in healthy, elderly persons. METHOD Forty-two women and 9 men 60 years of age and older were assigned randomly to one of four order groups in a counterbalanced, repeate...
