PURPOSE We present the concept of the Green House, articulated by William Thomas as a radically changed, "deinstitutionalized" nursing home well before its first implementation, and we describe and discuss implications from the first Green Houses in Tupelo, Mississippi. DESIGN AND METHODS Green Houses are small, self-contained houses for 10 or fewer elders, each with private rooms and full ba...

OBJECTIVES To determine the effects of a small-house nursing home model, THE GREEN HOUSE (GH), on residents' reported outcomes and quality of care. DESIGN Two-year longitudinal quasi-experimental study comparing GH residents with residents at two comparison sites using data collected at baseline and three follow-up intervals. SETTING Four 10-person GHs, the sponsoring nursing home for those...

allelopathy is the main factor of weed interference on growth and development of crops. in order to study of allopathic effect of hoery cress organs extrate on germination and seedling growth of triticale, two separate factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design with four replication were conducted under laboratory and green house conditions. treatment were included of extrac...

Cloud computing is emerging as a new paradigm of large-scale distributed computing. Cloud computing provides customers/users scalability, flexibility for their applications by providing collection of interconnected and virtualized servers. But as the requirement for cloud increases, so increase the consumption of huge amounts of electrical energy, contributing to high operational costs Green Ho...

The Green IT can minimize the green house gas emission if steps are taken to reduce energy consumption at end user level i.e., PC’s, Laptops, handheld devices etc. People need to be educated of the fact how energy can be saved while using IT devices. Likewise initiatives at the network and data center level have been taken by the major companies of IT equipments. In our work we perform a compar...

Association of methane with coal poses a serious explosion risk in underground coal mining. Besides, it is a potent green house gases significantly contributing to global warming. Therefore, its commercial exploitation is being widely recognised as (a) a fuel resource to bridge the energy gap (b) making coal mining safer (c) providing cleaner energy and (d) checking the building of green house ...

A laboratory and green house experiment was carried out on the comparative antagonistic performance of four different bioagents (Aspergillus sp., Gliocladium virens, Trichoderma harzianum and T. viride) isolated from soil against Rhizoctonia solani. Under laboratory conditions, T. harzianum exhibited maximum (75.55%) mycelial growth inhibition of R. solani This was followed by T. viride, which ...

In emissions intensive industries such as iron and cement, manufacturers can invest to reduce carbon emissions. Under carbon regulations, their investment decisions will change the cost structure of production. We study the joint production and investment decisions under command-andcontrol and market-based regulations for a manufacturer. Market-based regulations include carbon tax and cap-and-t...

A longitudinal quasi-experimental study with two comparison groups was conducted to test the effects of a Green House (GH) nursing home program on residents' family members. The GHs are individual residences, each serving 10 elders, where certified nursing assistant (CNA)-level resident assistants form primary relationships with residents and family, family is encouraged to visits, and professi...
