Triceps skinfold thickness and body weight measures were obtained for 44 female and 40 male mentally retarded adults participating in a sheltered workshop setting. Subjects' relative weights and skinfold thicknesses were found to correlate reasonably well for females and males, rs = .88 and .59, respectively. Use of only height and weight tables for determining the presence of obesity, however,...

Electromagnetic fields from low frequency to millimeter wave are presenting lots of interests for biomedical applications. Among them is emerging the possibility to non-invasively investigate the living at various levels from tissue/organ to cellular, with the objective to early diagnose diseases and improve the efficiency of prognostic and therapies. This workshop will consequently address the...

The demand for ever higher data rates is driving research for broadband wireless communications to data rates of 100 Gbit/s and beyond. This workshop presents research work on 100 Gbit/s wireless communications that uses carrier frequencies beyond 200 GHz with bandwidths of 20 GHz or more and moderate spectral efficiencies. Various wireless system and component design aspects are covered includ...

This short course will present the state-of-the-art in understanding RF power phenomena that detrimentally affect space, aircraft and terrestrial communications. Dramatic increase in communications capacity, bandwidth, number of carriers and antennas poses new challenges in handling the high RF power. These problems become ever more acute and critical for emerging and future RF systems. The sho...

In this paper, I bring out the contrasts between two different approaches to student learning: that of computational learning scientists and socio-cultural anthropologists, and suggest some implications and directions for learning research in MOOCs. Computational learning scientists see learning as a matter of imbibing particular knowledge propositions, and therefore understand teaching as a wa...

THz technology development is a vibrant scientific field with new discoveries and techniques being utilized to advance the Stateof-the-Art. While novel material systems such as grapheme have shown promise in the THz range, fully functional systems in the THz range are also becoming more common. This workshop will bring together experts from various academic, national labs and commercial enterpr...

Despite the attention that strategic change as a topic of research has received, there remain considerable difficulties in conceptualizing the actual sources of strategic change. Strategy workshops represent one obvious and explicit research site since organizations often use such events as a means of effecting or initiating strategic change. This paper examines empirical data from ninety-nine ...
