Artificial Neural Networks for Defining the Operational Parameters of Sand Filters for Irrigation
ABSTRACT The difficulty in defining the working configuration during the operation of sand filters arises from the complexity of the relationships among the variables in the filtration and backwashing processes. The objective was to use artificial neural networks to model the pressure loss and removal efficiency of filtration in a commercial sand ...

The Non‐Professional Virtues of the Hospice Volunteer
ABSTRACT Volunteers have long played a significant role in hospice care. Much of the care volunteers provide consists of weekly hour‐long in‐home visits. Home‐visiting hospice volunteers are not professionals, nor are they strangers or intimates. Hospice volunteers will not typically face moral dilemmas, nor be called upon to make dramatic decisions ...

Abstract We document the early decay of the Late‐Pleistocene Cordilleran Ice Sheet in the central portion of the Rocky and Cariboo Mountains and the Rocky Mountain Trench in east‐central British Columbia. Glacial lakes impounded at the eastern margin of the ice sheet occupied watersheds on the west flank of the central Rocky Mountains, leaving ...

The Bazaar as a Model for Knowledge Work
ABSTRACT This paper presents fieldwork that extends existing metaphors of knowledge work as a process shaped by hierarchical or market forces. A qualitative, ethnographic study of six knowledge‐intensive businesses in two countries identifies striking parallels with the Middle Eastern bazaar in contrast to Western impersonal markets and hierarchies. We
