This paper explores the application of archaeological site formation theory to stranded wooden vessels and the scattered wreck-sites they produce. Shallow water wrecks and wreckage sites in the Au Sable Shores region of western Lake Huron are used to develop a preliminary classification of the processes operating on the breakup and deposition of wooden vessels. 2002 The Nautical Archaeology Soc...

Woodc:n poles are popular structural elements currently used by Manitoba Hydro for distribution lines and transmission towers. In recent years, a considerable number of such poles have failed duc to heavy build-up of ice on the lines. These failures may be attributed to the accuracy or reliability of the design methods and/or to the lack of adequate experimental information to evaluate the crit...

Wooden sticks used to suspend feces obtained for surveillance cultures were found to be the source of Rhizopus microsporus var. rhizopodiformis causing a pseudo-outbreak among 17 immunocompromised patients cared for in three different wards. Nonsterile wooden products should therefore not be used for collecting, handling, and processing specimens for microbiological examination.

The inherent control flexibility implied by solid-state lighting – united with the rich details offered by sensor networks – prompts us to rethink lighting control. In this research, we propose several techniques for measuring work surface illuminance and ambient light using a sensor network. The primary goal of this research is to measure work surface illuminance without distraction to the use...

aims: work proper lighting means a safe, healthy and comfort conditions for work under a lighting system that includes qualitative and quantitative features. this study aimed to evaluate the surface local lighting of works and eye fatigue among research and development staffs of an automotive industry. instrument & methods: in this descriptive study in research and development department of an ...

background: the aims of this study were to evaluate the employees' subjective assessments of different aspects of lighting condition as well as task area illuminance in manufacturing plants. methods: this field study was conducted between march and may 2013 , in three packing plants (saveh, central iran). data were collected by questionnaire and measurement of the task area illuminance levels. ...
