  • Situating senior women in the literacy landscape of North Africa

    Creator:
    Rice, Laura and Hamdy, Karim
    Abstract:
    Although literacy programs in North African countries vary in method, management approach, and in content emphasis, their discourse is strikingly similar: It focuses too often on learners' deficits and considers the condition of these “illiterate” subjects, i.e. persons lacking the 3Rs, as a “disease” against which a war of eradication...

  • A numerical study of the transverse modulus of wood as a function of grain orientation and properties

    Creator:
    Nairn, John A.
    Abstract:
    Finite element analysis was used to study the effective transverse modulus of solid wood for all possible end-grain patterns. The calculations accounted for cylindrical anisotropy of wood within rectangular specimens and explicitly modeled wood as a composite of earlywood and latewood. The effective modulus was significantly reduced by growth ring...
