Abstract Assistant language teachers (ALTs) in the Japan Exchange and Teaching (JET) program are composed of 90% of Inner Circle ALTs and 10% of rigorously screened Outer Circle JET ALTs, who are hired under the Education Ministry's “contemporary standard” (i.e., American) English policy.

Background – Because of the increased incidence of multidrug‐resistant (MDR) bacteria, the use of disinfectants over antibiotics has been encouraged. However, the interactions between disinfectants and host local immunity are poorly understood. Objective – To assess the effects of chlorhexidine digluconate (Chx), with and without selected host defence ...

ABSTRACT Parental reflective functioning (PRF) is an important predictor of infant attachment, and interventions that target parent–infant/toddler dyads who are experiencing significant problems have the potential to improve PRF. A range of dyadic interventions have been developed over the past two decades, some of which explicitly target PRF as part ...

This study aims to estimate the wind loads acting on a tower structure by comparing and reviewing design codes and the results of wind tunnel tests. To this end, the modal properties of the tower were identified through short‐term on‐site measurements of the Busan Tower in Korea. The wind load acting on the tower was calculated using four design codes:

Mobility offer allocations in corporate settings
Corporate mobility is often based on a fixed assignment of vehicles to employees. Relaxing this fixation and including alternatives such as public transportation or taxis for business and private trips could increase fleet utilization and foster the use ...

The response of hot wires in high Reynolds-number turbulent pipe flow [PDF]
Issues concerning the accuracy of hot-wire measurements in turbulent pipe flow are addressed for pipe Reynolds numbers up to 6 × 106 and hot-wire Reynolds numbers up to Rew ap 250. These include the optimization of spatial and temporal resolution and the

Another pedagogy for mixed-integer Gomory
We present a version of GMI (Gomory mixed-integer) cuts in a way so that they are derived with respect to a “dual form” mixed-integer optimization problem and applied on the standard-form primal side as columns, using the primal simplex algorithm.

The generation of resonant turbulence for a premixed burner [PDF]
Is it possible to optimize the turbulent combustion of a low swirl burner by using resonance in turbulence? To that end an active grid is constructed that consists of two perforated disks of which one is rotating, creating a system of pulsating jets ...

A polyhedral approach to the generalized minimum labeling spanning tree problem
The minimum labeling spanning tree problem (MLSTP) is a combinatorial optimization problem that consists in finding a spanning tree in a simple graph G, in which each edge has one label, by using a minimum number of labels.
