Abstract Media coverage of migrant and refugee camps often concerns not everyday life in camps, but violence or a camp's outright destruction. These portrayals risk inscribing into public memory as sites danger criminality, vulnerability without agency. What methods engaging with aftermath its representation might enable more complex understandings the reality camps? We engage camp site inscrip...

The authors examined factors related to participation in walking, gardening or yard work, and sports or exercise in 686 community-dwelling adults 60-95 years of age from Wave IV of the population-based Americans' Changing Lives Study. Logistic regression revealed that male gender, being married, and better functional health were associated with greater likelihood of participating in gardening o...

The 6-min walk test (6MWT) is a common component of fitness assessments of older adults; however, differing course configurations might affect 6MWT performance. It is unclear how comparable 2 different configurations are. To determine the comparability of 2 courses, 35 adults >65 years of age completed two 6MWT, once walking around a 20- by 5-yd outdoor rectangle and once on an indoor oval trac...

We describe the Lightweight Communications and Marshalling (LCM) library for message passing and data marshalling. The primary goal of LCM is to simplify the development of low-latency message passing systems, targeted at real-time robotics applications. LCM is comprised of several components: a data type specification language, a message passing system, logging/playback tools, and real-time an...

In a container terminal, containers unloaded from a ship are moved to the yard during the import operation. The export operation is the reverse of the import process. When a ship is served by multiple shore-cranes having both loading and unloading activities at the same time, a yard-machine can process an import container and an export container in one single round-trip. This paper investigates...

On October 15, we met to listen to a presentation by Marques Griffin from ChevronTexaco. He gave an overview of the entire oil production process and gave an idea of what types of positions his company had available. We also had this semester’s officer auction, where bidders could hire an officer for an hour to do such as things as cleaning or yard work. Our volleyball tournament to be held on ...

We present simulations, without electrodynamical assumptions, of Bsx, y, Hstdd, MsHstdd, and JcsHstdd in hard superconductors for a variety of twin-boundary pinning potential parameters, and for a range of values of the density and strength of the pinning sites. We numerically solve the overdamped equations of motion of up to 10 flux-gradient-driven vortices which can be temporarily trapped at ...
