Steel foothold traps are widely used throughout North America to manage and harvest furbearers. Payne (1980) listed 6 incentives for furbearer harvest, 1 of which is to carry out "nuisance" control. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) has legislative responsibility for managing coyotes (Canis latrans) that cause damage to livestock (U.S. Fish and Wildl. Serv. 1978), and trapping is a pri...

The main impairment of an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems is an intercarrier interference (ICI) effect caused by a frequency offset. A zero-padded technique designed for a conjugate cancellation scheme in MIMO-OFDM systems for ICI cancellation is proposed by padding zero between two consecutive symbols over a space-frequency domain. At the receiver, the ICI cancellatio...

The American joumal ofOcClipational Therapy Various authors have delineated problems associated with wheelchair seating for elderly residenrs of nursing homes (Krasilovsky, 1993; Raible, 1995; Redford, 1993; Taylor, 1987), Both Redford (1993) and Krasilovsky (1993) cited pelvic obliquity while the resident is sitting on sling upholstery as the most common positioning problem in this population,...

Elementary school students carry heavy backpacks and there are some reports that the backpack induces fatigue back pain. This study proposed a structure to reduce load analyzed effect of through an experiment. The key features were three-dimensional padded panel curved board. In experiment, five pressure sensors measured pressures between participant's body parts. Both board increased contact a...
