This study compiled 33 verified spider bites from the state of Oregon (USA). The initial goal was to amass a series of bites by the hobo spider to assess whether it possesses toxic venom, a supposition which is currently in a contested state. None of the 33 bites from several spider species developed significant medical symptoms nor did dermonecrosis occur. The most common biters were the yello...

For Britain, the principal "new" source of data is the 1906 Enqui.•y in Earnings and Hours, which gives employment levels and wages for 10,000 mule spinners, 17,000 piecers, almost 4,000 ring spinners, and 70,000 weavers [1906 Enquiry, pp. xiii, 29-31].

This paper describes an approach that combines model engineering with program transformation techniques to construct aspect weavers for general-purpose programming languages. The front-end of the weaver uses a high-level language (i.e., an aspect language) to specify aspects and is designed with a metamodel-based approach using the AMMA toolsuite. The back-end of the weaver uses transformation ...

The objectives of the present study, which was carried out in the Iranian hand-woven carpet industry, were determination of the prevalence of MSD symptoms, identification of major factors associated with MSD symptoms and development of guidelines for workstation design. 1,439 randomly selected weavers part...

The tragedy of the commons predicts social collapse when public goods are jointly exploited by individuals attempting to maximize their fitness at the expense of other social group members. However, animal societies have evolved many times despite this vulnerability to exploitation by selfish individuals. Kin selection offers a solution to this social dilemma, but in large social groups mean re...

Birds living in social groups establish dominance hierarchies, and taking up the dominant position influences behaviour and physiological parameters. In cooperatively breeding white-browed sparrow weavers (Plocepasser mahali), the transition from subordinate helper to dominant breeder male induces the production of a new type of song. This song contains a large number of new syllables and diffe...

This paper reviews the role and importance of small-scale industries together with the issue of occupational health problems and their causes in Iranian hand-woven carpet industry as a typical informal small-scale industry in an industrially developing country.
