The 1972 Survey of Disabled and Nondisabled Adults found that more than 1 million severely disabled persons aged 20-64 were receiving payments under Federal-State public assistance programs. To determine the reasons why most of these individuals did not qualify for disabled-worker benefits under the social security program, their characteristics were compared with those of the approximately 1.5...

Analysis of disabled beneficiaries' earnings records from the 1-percent Continuous Work History Sample over a 15-year period indicates that increases in the substantial gainful activity (SGA) level in 1966, 1968, and 1974 were not followed by incremental increases in beneficiary earnings. This article examines the flow of disabled-worker beneficiaries through the disability program in relation ...

This article reports the results of a written survey of ninety-seven female and male adolescents, ages fourteen through seventeen, at two U.S. public libraries. In addition to exploring gender-related variance in the reasons for which teenagers use public libraries, the survey investigated how frequently the respondents needed information relating to twelve major topic areas and how useful they...

Multiple stakeholders need to be taken into consideration when designing and implementing public sector services and processes. It will be asked in this article whether agent-oriented modeling could be beneficial to understand the interactions between these stakeholders and to support the design of proactive, user-friendly, and usable services of e-government. We propose a methodology for servi...

let g=(v,e) be a simple graph. an edge labeling f:e to {0,1} induces a vertex labeling f^+:v to z_2 defined by $f^+(v)equiv sumlimits_{uvin e} f(uv)pmod{2}$ for each $v in v$, where z_2={0,1} is the additive group of order 2. for $iin{0,1}$, let e_f(i)=|f^{-1}(i)| and v_f(i)=|(f^+)^{-1}(i)|. a labeling f is called edge-friendly if $|e_f(1)-e_f(0)|le 1$. i_f(g)=v_f(1)-v_f(0) is called the edge-f...
