Infants require locomotor experience to behave adaptively at a drop-off. However, different experimental paradigms (visual cliff and actual gaps and slopes) have generated conflicting findings regarding what infants learn and the specificity of their learning. An actual, adjustable drop-off apparatus was used to investigate whether learning to distinguish a step from a cliff transfers from craw...

Automated vacuum waste collection (AVWC) uses air suction on a closed network of underground pipes to transport waste from the drop off points scattered throughout the city to a central collection point, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and the inconveniences of conventional methods (odors, noise, . . . ). Since a significant part of the cost of operating AVWC systems is energy consumption, we...

The goal of this study is to examine the MSMEs sector's defense and recovery from COVID-19 pandemic's slump. Not only epidemic wreaking havoc on people's health, but it's also global economy, which has seen a substantial drop. Because sector was formerly large contributor Indonesia's Gross Domestic Product, it one sectors most hit by epidemic. More than half all had previously gone bankrupt clo...

Two pilot scale biofiltration systems were constructed and installed at the University College Dublin Research Farm, Lyons Estate. Experimental units consisting of two pens in a 12 pen pig house were sealed off from other pens. Air from each pen was extracted and treated separately in two biofiltration systems. Wood chips larger than 20 mm were selected as the medium for biofiltration system 1,...
