A Study of 43 Public School Printing Departments Located in Seven Upper Midwest States

This printing education topic was selected to obtain information about high school printing laboratories in the upper Midwest for the benefit of school officials and printing teachers. (The Upper Midwest was defined to include the states of Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, and Montana. These states, except Wisconsin, border on South Dakota.) This study was made to enable interested school officials, printing teachers, and prospective printing teachers to determine the 1960 status of printing education in the study area. Matters considered in the study were curriculum classifications, size of high schools, number of teachers, printed forms produced, printing department enrollment, job placement services, and school newspaper production method. Commercial printing, one of the nation’s major industries, is essential to commerce, science, the arts, education, and government. Since World War II, the lithographic, or offset printing process, has considerably increased in use in printing shops. Although letterpress printing is the dominant method of printing, offset lithography has made inroads in the field of graphic reproduction. This study attempted to investigate the present role of high school printing departments in training students to meet the needs of the printing industry. The information presented in this study can serve as a basis for comparing curriculum classifications, number of semesters of printing courses offered, number of full-time and part-time teachers, number of forms printed, number of printing students enrolled in each class year, job placement procedures, general areas of instruction, and method of producing the school newspaper. This study may also help school officials, printing teachers, and prospective teachers develop high school printing curricula and printing laboratory administration procedures

Economic Analysis of Alternative Flood Control Measures

Within the last few years, the growing realization that an effective flood control program must include non-structural measures (land use management and flood proofing) has resulted in Presidential Executive Order 11296 requiring Federal agencies to seek the optimum combination of structural and non-structural measures for flood control. The requirement has created a dilemma. No methodology is available for systematic evaluation of alternative combinations of structural and non-structural measures. Prospective procedures are too time consuming to be feasible under current financial and manpower limitations. The only way out is to perform much of the planning process by digital computer. With this goal, two flood control planning programs have been developed. Each program systematically selects the optimum combination of channel improvement, flood proofing, and land use management by location within the flood plain and by time. The second program adds detention storage to the list of available alternatives. Both programs contain the entire planning process by going all the way from raw data to a selected optimum program of measure use in one run. However, the programs are not intended to produce a finished design. Their use should be followed by a final field check to verify the input data and preparation of the plans and specifications necessary for implementation. The programs have been applied to a series of flood hazard areas in California and Kentucky and indicated an optimum flood control program in a small fraction of the time spent in current planning methods. They free the planning engineer from spending most of his time in routine calculations and allow more time for consideration of qualitative and intangible factors

Bayesian robustness for decision making problems: Applications in medical contexts

AbstractPractical implementation of Bayesian decision making is hindered by the fact that optimal decisions may be sensitive to the model inputs: the prior, the likelihood and/or the underlying utility function. Given the structure of a problem, the analyst has to decide which sensitivity measures are relevant and compute them efficiently. We address the issue of robustness of the optimal action in a decision making problem with respect to the prior model and the utility function. We discuss some general principles and apply novel computational strategies in the context of two relatively complex medical decision making problems

The use of insecticide treated nets by age: implications for universal coverage in Africa

BACKGROUND: The scaling of malaria control to achieve universal coverage requires a better understanding of the population sub-groups that are least protected and provide barriers to interrupted transmission. Here we examine the age pattern of use of insecticide treated nets (ITNs) in Africa in relation to biological vulnerabilities and the implications for future prospects for universal coverage. METHODS: Recent national household survey data for 18 malaria endemic countries in Africa were assembled to identify information on use of ITNs by age and sex. Age-structured medium variant projected population estimates for the mid-point year of the earliest and most recent national surveys were derived to compute the population by age protected by ITNs. RESULTS: All surveys were undertaken between 2005 and 2009, either as demographic health surveys (n = 12) or malaria indicator surveys (n = 6). Countries were categorized into three ITN use groups: or =20% and projected population estimates for the mid-point year of 2007 were computed. In general, the pattern of overall ITNs use with age was similar by country and across the three country groups with ITNs use initially high among children <5 years of age, sharply declining among the population aged 5-19 years, before rising again across the ages 20-44 years and finally decreasing gradually in older ages. For all groups of countries, the highest proportion of the population not protected by ITNs (38% - 42%) was among those aged 5-19 years. CONCLUSION: In malaria-endemic Africa, school-aged children are the least protected with ITNs but represent the greatest reservoir of infections. With increasing school enrollment rates, school-delivery of ITNs should be considered as an approach to reach universal ITNs coverage and improve the likelihood of impacting upon parasite transmission
