We studied the extent and nature of fungal colonization of building materials in 58 naturally ventilated apartments that had suffered various kinds of water damage in relation to air sampling done before the physical inspections. The results of air samples from each apartment were compared by rank order of species with pooled data from outdoor air. Approximately 90% of the apartments that had s...

in this paper, the chebyshev spectral collocation method(cscm) for one-dimensional linear hyperbolic telegraph equation is presented. chebyshev spectral collocation method have become very useful in providing highly accurate solutions to partial differential equations. a straightforward implementation of these methods involves the use of spectral differentiation matrices. firstly, we transform ...

BACKGROUND Low-income apartment communities in the United States are suffering from disproportionally high bed bug, Cimex lectularius L., infestations owing to lack of effective monitoring and treatment. Studies examining the effectiveness of integrated pest management (IPM) for the control of bed bugs in affordable housing have been limited to small subsets of bed-bug-infested apartments, rath...
