We discuss the relationship between bosonic stimulation, density fluctuations, and matter wave gratings. It is shown that enhanced stimulated scattering, matter wave amplification, and atomic four-wave mixing do not require macroscopic occupation of a single quantum state. These processes are in principle possible for fermionic or nondegenerate samples, if they are prepared in a cooperative sta...

The profession of occupational therapy promotes individuals to achieve health and wellness through engagement in meaningful occupations of daily living. This occupation-focused profession plays a critical role in health care in a multitude of settings with a wide range of clients. The paper highlights a global overview of the philosophies of occupational therapy, the current international pract...

A notable feature of the agricultural policy of the South African Sugar Industry is that much of our plantation practice still derives from the arbitrary ordinance of tradition or custom, casual observation, and so-called experience. Sugar cane cultivation is an occupation requiring, for its success, the utmost precision both in conception and performance; and further that precision necessitate...

We address the inverse problem of Lagrangian identification based on trajectories in the context of nonlinear optimal control. We propose a general formulation of the inverse problem based on occupation measures and complementarity in linear programming. The use of occupation measures in this context offers several advantages from the theoretical, numerical and statistical points of view. We pr...

Background: The occupation of sleep is frequently under-addressed by occupational therapists with their clients. This may be in part because a lack general training on addressing this domain or education about the basics sleep. has been Occupational Therapy Practice Framework since 2008. However, it remains unclear how to address therapy practice. Therefore, purpose case series describe practic...

The authors assessed the relations between occupation and risk of developing asthma in adulthood in a 1997-2000 population-based incident case-control study of 521 cases and 932 controls in south Finland. The occupations were classified according to potential exposure to asthma-causing inhalants. Asthma risk was increased consistently for both men and women in the chemical (adjusted odds ratio ...

‘Occupation’ in this paper refers to the ordinary, everyday things people do to meet their various needs, interests and aspirations. As such it is inclusive of but broader than the concept of ‘work’. Poverty and inequality compromises peoples’ capacity to participate or “do” in daily life. Restricted ‘doing’ narrows their possibilities for experiencing health and well-being as resources for liv...
