The physical environment plays an important role in the lives of preschoolers with special needs. It can add a significant dimension to children’s experience and development when the physical environment is carefully and knowingly arranged. The physical environment and the curriculum together enhance and support the child's ability to do something himself, take care of himself, initiate and com...

The optimal cutting of lumber into dimension parts for products like furniture, windows, and mouldings is a challenging problem due to the almost infinite number of possible cutting patterns. Yet, finding the optimal pattern that utilizes the available lumber most efficiently is of paramount importance, as lumber costs are a major expense of producers of solid wood parts. This study used data d...

In this note I shall continue the study of the geometry of the moduli-space of pairs of points in 3 dimensions. I show that this space, H̃, is the base space of a canonical family of associative k -algebras in dimension 4. The study of the corresponding family of derivations leads to a natural way of introducing an action of the gauge Lie algebras of the Standard Model, in H̃. The results fit wel...

The institution of sweeping the roads, streets and compounds of public buildings in most towns is a public nuisance for which the city fathers are responsible. The dust rises in the air and falls into the houses within its reach, especially into the rooms on the first floor. All such surfaces which harbour loose dust should be watered before they are swept. The floors should be mopped with wet ...

The institutionalisation of information systems allows managers in organisations to concentrate on and devote creative energy to their prime tasks. This paper argues that the process of deciding whether an information system is institutionalised or not can be understood better by examining its political dimension. We focus on the failure to institutionalise the London Ambulance Service informat...

This research deals with the influence of the computer use in schools related to the children posture, in an ergonomic point of view. The research tries to identify probable causes for the children early postural constraints, relating it to the sedentary behavior and the lack of an ergonomic project in schools. The survey involved 186 children, between 8 and 12 years old, students of a private ...

Current bed bug, Cimex lectularius L., control usually involves insecticide applications that pose a high risk of insecticide exposure to residents and applicators. To minimize these risks and the amount of insecticides used, we designed and evaluated a dust band treatment technique. The laboratory assay showed that 1% cyfluthrin dust treated bands are highly effective in killing bed bugs. We f...

length, introduction, background, purpose/goal, methods, results, discussion, and implications for practice. The use of tables and figures is also discussed.
