We evaluated the effectiveness of installing the Olyset® Net on the ceiling in preventing the invasion of malaria vectors. This study was conducted in houses in western Kenya. The number of resting mosquitoes inside the houses reduced when the ceiling and eaves of the houses were covered with the net. The mosquito densities remained low for 9 months, until the nets were removed.

Priority Ceiling Protocol (PCP) is a well-known resource access protocol for hard real-time systems. However, it has a problem of ceiling blocking which imposes a great hindrance to task scheduling in mixed real-time systems where tasks may have different criticality. In this paper, a new resource access protocol called the Conditional Abortable Priority Ceiling Protocol (CA-PCP) is proposed. I...

This paper shows how to use a mathematical model to predict the vibration of lightweight timber-framed floor/ceiling systems (LTFSs) caused by mechanical excitation. The LTFS considered here is made up of an upper floor layer, a cavity space with timber joists and a ceiling. These components are joined by timber battens, ceiling furring channels and ceiling clips. The vibration in the structure...

conclusions although ceiling effects should be considered for rehabilitation targets, the two-factor model of fim (motor and cognitive independence) has an eligible fitness for iranian patients with tbi. results the results of this study showed that the floor effect was not observed; however, ceiling effects were observed for the fim total score and its subscales. the confirmatory factor analys...

A focus on indoor comfort and tightening targets for energy savings in buildings presents new opportunities heating, ventilation, air-conditioning products (HVAC). This paper a novel solution that integrates suspended radiant ceiling with diffuse dubbed HVACeiling. In combination the concrete slab, HVACeiling has potential to provide thermal minimal temperature offset, which supports operation ...

This paper discusses the phenomena of glass ceiling, which affects women's chances obtaining professional jobs, as well its connection to issues equality and equity in regards gender. A literature review several scientific studies that address ceiling is used method writing for this method. The findings indicate "glass ceiling" phenomenon still a barrier women overcome order advance particular ...

This paper investigates experimentally the cooling performance of a concept, where radiant ceiling is suspended from hollow-core concrete slab and by ventilation supply in plenum perforations tiles, air distributed without ducts terminals to occupied zone. Literature has proven that this concept allows for more streamlined installation procedures excellent terms thermal comfort draught. The rep...
