The primary purpose of this study was t determine the
difference in "career progress" and satisfaction between
cooperative education/internship graduates and non-coop/

system includes algorithms and databases for developing weekly
work and shift patterns and combining these into working
schedules for nurses for a specified time horizon, and
interface modules for the user to interact...
Although oceanographers such as Roger Revelle are typically associated with key indicators
of anthropogenic change, he and other scientists at midcentury had very different
