Profile of Hired Farmworkers, 1996 Annual Averages

Examines demographic and employment characteristics of the 906,000 persons 15 years of age and older who did hired farmwork in 1996. Approximately 906,000 persons 15 years of age and older were employed as hired farmworkers each week in 1996. An additional 72,000 persons were hired as farmworkers each week as a secondary job. Hired farmworkers were more likely than all U.S. wage and salary workers to be male, Hispanic, younger, less educated, never married, and non-U.S. citizens.hired farmworkers, annual averages, demographic characteristics, hourse worked, median weekly hours, Labor and Human Capital,

Lifting surface theory for a helicopter rotor in forward flight

A lifting surface theory was developed for a helicopter rotor in forward flight for compressible and incompressible flow. The method utilizes the concept of the linearized acceleration potential and makes use of the vortex lattice procedure. Calculations demonstrating the application of the method are given in terms of the lift distribution on a single rotor, a two-bladed rotor, and a rotor with swept-forward and swept-back tips. In addition, the lift on a rotor which is vibrating in a pitching mode at 4/rev is given. Compressibility effects and interference effects for a two-bladed rotor are discussed

Lifting surface theory for a helicopter rotor in forward flight

A lifting surface theory has been developed for a helicopter rotor in forward flight for incompressible flow. The method utilized the concept of the linearized acceleration potential and make use of the vortex lattice procedures. Results in terms of lift coefficient slope for several forward flight conditions are given

Demographic and Neurocognitive Predictive Factors Impacting on Expressed Vocational Interests

This study examined multiple demographic and neurocognitive variables to determine which ones were predictive of expressed range of occupational interests and occupational interest types. This study used archival data from an outpatient community training clinic that included the Strong Interest Inventory (SII), tests of intellectual functioning, and tests of executive functioning. It was hypothesized that demographic variables (age, gender, years of education, and socioeconomic status) and cognitive variables (intelligence and executive functioning) would be predictive of the expressed range of occupational interests; and that there would be differences in career interests by gender and race/ethnicity. Multiple regressions and chi-square tests were used to analyze which variables predicted range of occupational interests and to analyze differences of gender and race/ethnicity on career interest types. Results indicated that age and years of education significantly predicted expressed range of occupational interests and confirmed gender differences in terms of occupational interest types. This study also found that both intelligence and executive functioning significantly predicted both expressed range of occupational interests and executive functioning also predicted occupational interest types. This study aimed to add to the literature on how people may be limited by certain variables in terms of their range and types of occupational interests

Proceeding Back to Jerusalem

...But the House Church movement in China is still persecuted. It\u27s primarily underground, 80 million strong, maybe 100 million strong. Other people throw other numbers around. We know it\u27s real big. And I don\u27t know that anybody has the exact population of Christians in China. But within the House Church movement in China today, there\u27s a vision that has developed that has been given by God to multiple denominations, to the mainstreams of Christianity within the country, to send perhaps 100,000 missionaries westward across the Buddhist and Muslim and Hindu and secular societies between Western China and Jerusalem

Improving Access to Voting: A Report on the Technology for Accessible Voting Systems

Twenty percent of U.S. adults with disabilities--more than 8 million eligible voters--say they have been unable to vote in presidential or congressional elections due to barriers at or getting to the polls. Improving Access to Voting is a new report by technology expert Noel Runyan, published by Demos and Voter Action, that finds that state voting systems are widely noncompliant with federal ADA and HAVA access requirements for voters with disabilities

Comprehending Angioedema: ACE-Inhibitor Reaction

The following will discuss the implications of ACE-Inhibitor induced angioedema in relation to advanced nursing practice. The poster will first introduce a brief overview of what angioedema is and how it affects the patient. Along with an overview of ACE-Inhibitor usage and related effect interaction with bradykinin. The poster proceeds with discussion on signs and symptoms and underlying pathophysiology. Then finishes with significance of pathophysiology, treatment, implications of nursing care and concludes with the authors opinion of rapid recognition and treatment
