Work requirements are common in US safety net programs. Evidence remains limited, however, on the extent to which work increase economic self-sufficiency or screen out vulnerable individuals. Using linked administrative data food stamps (SNAP) and earnings with a regression discontinuity design, we find robust evidence that program exits by 23 percentage points (64 percent) among incumbent participants. Overall participation adults who subject is reduced 53 percent. Homeless...

The oxygen consumption of the crab Carcinus fed a single meal Mytilus tissue equivalent to 2.6% crabs' fresh weight increased 2.3-fold at 3 h after and returned its previous value within 24 h. whole-body protein synthesis rates animals meals similar size paralleled changes; twofold by remained elevated for 16h. Estimates minimal costs indicated that they accounted between 20% 37% measured consumption. There was linear correlation rates. midgut gland, gill, heart, proventriculus, leg extensor...

Research into the consequential cost implications of design decisions (Gray, 1983) has highlighted central role that primary lifting device (predominantly cranes) on control and pace construction operations. In attempting t o evaluate effective options team must, therejbre, appreciate full effect crane choice inherent in each option. The expertise knowledge criteria used select most appropriate cranage is held by a few experienced people either specialist hirers or contractors' plant This...

This paper presents a method of locating crane on construction site using mathematical techniques. The optimum location and choice the is seen as one most important parts planning. It proposes algorithm which can define least expensive cranage cost (the total hire, assembly dismantling) by calculating combined use different cranes, such truck crane, crawler travelling based tower or fixed base crane. Conclusions are drawn to relevance application model projects.

ABSTRACT The effects of exercise on the rates protein synthesis in chambers trout heart were investigated vitro and vivo. An rainbow preparation was developed which permitted perfusion coronary supply to compact region ventricular muscle. This used examine mechanical responses preload pressures, oxygen consumption at different power outputs various components. By increasing pressure it possible double cardiac output, output without changing rate. Mechanical efficiency hearts approximately...

Objective To determine whether microbial contamination of door handles in two busy intensive care units and one high dependency unit was related to their design, location, usage. Design Observational study the number viable bacteria on existing different design at defined entry/exit points with simultaneous data collection who used these doors how often. Setting Two specialised a tertiary referral NHS neurological hospital. Main outcome measures Surface bacterial density reference intensity...

The subject of ‘buildability’ has got to the point where it is known that advisable involve contractor in early stages design process. However, this very difficult achieve unless a contract formed between parties, which may not be desirable limits competition. research described paper attempts resolve problem by taking knowledge used and making available team through an Intelligent Knowledge Based System (IKBS). In essence meant deeper understanding methods contractors analyse problems risks...

The UK construction industry is in the process of trying to adopt a new culture based on large‐scale take up innovative practices. Through Demonstration Project many organizations are implementing changed practices and learning from experiences others. This probably largest experiment innovation any recent times. long‐term success will be measured by effectiveness embedding organization. As yet there no recognized approach measuring receptivity organization as an indication likelihood...

P.A. SMITH, D. MELLORS, A. HOLROYD AND C. GRAY. 2001. A new medium is described for the isolation of Listeria spp. from foods and environmental samples. It based on a modified Oxford in which 3,4‐cyclohexenoesculetin‐β‐D‐glucoside replaces aesculin. Positive colonies are intensely black with advantage that pigment does not diffuse into medium. The medium, when tested alongside US Department Agriculture (spiked samples) Food Drug Administration (naturally contaminated procedures, performed...

Much of the construction industry improvement agenda has been focused on achieving integration design and processes. However, current approaches do not create an organizational framework to deal with full supply chains for component based construction. The real chain clients, designers, specialist manufacturers, constructors assemblers is integrated into one group a common purpose. A major ongoing challenge manage essential grouping contributors participants, many whom are involved varying...

1. The effect of meals with a high and low protein content the fasting state on renal function plasma atrial natriuretic peptide was studied in water-loaded normal volunteers. 2. Creatinine clearance increased after meal, but did not change meal or while fasting. Observations similar increases urine sodium potassium excretion transient decrease flow both suggest that is an important contributory factor these responses to feeding. 3. Absolute delivery water out proximal tubules (assessed by...
