Using Technology to Control the Environment

American Journal of Occupational Therapy, 1987
Over the last 5 years, technological advances have resulted in specialized technical aids, such as electronic communication devices, computer input devices, and environmental control systems, which have made it possible for many persons who are severely physically disabled to enjoy greater functional independence within the home ...

Impact of the Environment on Asthma Control

Journal of Community Health Nursing, 2012
Asthma is a complex condition that requires individualized interventions. The purpose of this article is to describe the relationship between the physical and social environments with asthma symptoms, present evidence that supports environmental interventions in asthma control and the implications for asthma management.

Control of the Environment

1991
In Task 9 you evaluated the effectiveness of a lesson plan in a teaching context, and in Task 10 you looked at the communication that was taking place. Let us now consider another important aspect: environmental factors.

Control in Computationally Constrained Environments

IEEE Transactions on Control Systems Technology, 2009
In this paper, we present a novel algorithm for implementing linear time invariant controllers in computationally constrained environments. The algorithm transforms a linear time invariant controller into a periodically time varying system, which is shown to be implemented in a computationally efficient manner. This is achieved by first decomposing the

Access control for collaborative environments

Proceedings of the 1992 ACM conference on Computer-supported cooperative work - CSCW '92, 1992
In this dissertation, previous work on access control for both collaborative and non-collaborative systems is surveyed. New access control requirements for general collaborative environments are identified, and it is shown that existing models do not completely meet these requirements.

A prototyping environment for fuzzy controllers

1997
In this paper we present a complete environment for hardware prototyping of generic fuzzy controller architectures. The system specification is based on a generic VHDL module library which is handled by an integrated source- and documentation administration tool. The targeted hardware emulator has been enhanced with off-the-shelf memory to overcome the

Middleware for User Controlled Environments

Third IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications Workshops, 2005
In this paper, we describe the middleware that has evolved from our attempt to capture user descriptions of policies controlling devices and services from natural language. Description logic (DL) provides a formal link between the natural language processing, the ontology and the middleware.

The Ionic Environment and Metabolic Control

Nature, 1967
Metal ions may play a part in the control of enzyme and metabolic activities. The feedback inhibition of glycolysis, for example, may take place as a result of the inhibition of the pyruvate kinase reaction by calcium ions. This reaction could be only one of a number of enzyme-catalysed reactions controlled by the concentration of metal ions.

Control of the immunological environment of the uterus

Reviews of Reproduction, 2000
The uterine immune axis holds the key to solving major problems in female reproductive health, including infertility, many pathologies of pregnancy, and sexually transmitted disease. The molecular determinants of tolerance and immunity in the reproductive tract are now being identified, and the governing principles are similar to those in other mucosal
