Consumers frequently demand the right to control and select their environment with respect to colors, texture, temperature, humidity, odors, light, and sound. Carpeting constitutes a major environmental surface for both residential and commercial establishments. One implication is that the dyeing and finishing industries are constantly challenged to provide carpeting with desired and needed fun...

Epidemiological and microbiological studies were conducted in a hospital room with carpet (CR) and in one with carpet (NCR). Microbiological profiles were determined with specimens obtained from patients admitted to these rooms. Patient records were reviewed to note infection status and other case identities. Eleven-millimeter cylindrical core samples of carpet were obtained, and swab template ...

The legislature is unarguably the fulcrum upon which democracy rests. Democracy, in this context, representative government. Thus, institution of as an assembly elected representatives becomes engine room structural framework democratic governance built. As history has shown, beauty greatly enhanced by a healthy multi-party system wherein from different party backgrounds engage one another alon...

background: owing to increased complexity in the evolution of society, stress has become an important public health problem, and is responsible for more than 30 types of diseases. most of the research on stress conducted to date has focused on physical and psychological aspects; however, there are very few reports about the association between psychological stress and elements within the reside...

Possible relations between incidence and prevalence of sick building syndrome (SBS), indoor exposures, and personal factors were studied in a four year longitudinal study among personnel (n = 129) in six primary schools. The mean concentration of carbon dioxide was above the recommended value of 0.08 microliter/l (800 ppm) in all schools, indicating a poor outdoor air supply. Indoor concentrati...

The medical industry is challenged by the presence of microorganisms and the negative effects they cause. Deterioration, defacement and odors are all dramatic effects which occur from the microbial contamination of surfaces as varied as carpeting and medical non-woven fabrics. These surfaces can also act as a microbial "harbor", as most offer ideal environments for the proliferation of microorg...

This paper deals with structured grid generation using Floater’s parametrization algorithm for surface triangulation. It gives an outline of the algorithm in the context of structured grid generation. Then it explains how the algorithm can be used to generate a structured grid over a singular NURBS surface patch. This is an alternate method to the known carpeting method of reparametrization for...
