examining the role of glaze \vare pottery in the social lives of the late precontact and early contact Pueblos. By tracing the circulation of spe­ cialized knowledge, raw materials, and the glaze-painted pots themselves, through interactive networks ofvarying sizes and scales, these researchers reveal how glaze ware production, distribution, and use articulated with a variety of dynamic histori...

with a range of problem outcomes during childhood, adolescence and adulthood. Adults who were victims of child sexual abuse often fear sex, distrust their sex partners, have decreased sexual drive and have multiple superficial sexual relationships.1 Some children who were sexually abused have been found to engage in sexualized behavior (e.g., atypical sexual play with dolls and playmates, or ex...

A technique was developed to qualify the masking power of undiluted opaque dental porcelain by dilution of opaque powder with a clear glaze powder and by extrapolation of quantitative data gathered by reflectance spectrophotometry. Quantification of reflectance data was made on dilute opaque porcelains using the scattering and absorption coefficients in the Kubelka-Munk equation. Qualitative co...

In this paper, a new fuzzy logic-based approach to production scheduling in the presence of uncertain disruptions is presented. The approach is applied to a real-life problem of a pottery company where the uncertain disruption considered is glaze shortage. This disruption is defined by two parameters that are specified imprecisely: number of glaze shortage occurrences and glaze delivery time. T...
