Geometric modeling: a survey
Computer programs are being developed to aid the design of physical systems ranging from individual mechanical parts to entire buildings or ships. These efforts highlight the importance of computer models of three dimensional objects. Issues and alternatives in geometric modelling are discussed and illustrated with comparisons of 11 existing modelling systems, in particular coherently-structured models of polyhedral solids where the faces may be either planar or curved. Four categories of repres

1 Brian and Sylvia's experiences Brian and Sylvia, a married couple in their early sixties, were both bikers until Brian was diagnosed as having Parkinson's Disease. Sylvia became his designated carer, but her own health was deteriorating. Brian had an initial assessment by the social services department, followed by annual review assessments for home care. There were also assessments related to Brian's attendance at a day centre. Sylvia had assessments as a carer, but was looking at having an assessment as a service user.

Archaeology: the science of investigation
Archaeology is about reconstructing the physical past to obtain an understanding of how different civilisations and cultures have evolved over time. In this album, archaeologists from the British Museum explain the scientific processes involved in the discovery, investigation and interpretation of a variety of artefacts, such as skeletons, coins, textiles and metal artefacts unearthed at sites such as the famous Iron Age burial at Sutton Hoo, and Tell es-Sa'idiyeh in Jordan. The album also revea
4.2 Job analysis Job analysis involves examining a job systematically and in detail. There is no single way of doing this. Direct observation may be helpful if you are analysing repetitive manual jobs, for example. Discussion with the current job holder and supervisor or line manager is also a useful source of information. Another method of job analysis is to use the checklist approach illustrated in Author(s):

Pittsburgh Collective: Scherzo Grosso || Radcliffe Institute
Scherzo Grosso is a concerto in four movements for cello and big band. It was written for Matt Haimovitz and the Pittsburgh Collective with funds from the Koussevitzky Foundation. While the influences in the piece are numerous, the main underlying thread is the memory of Ed Nelson (1962--2004), a trumpet player with the band and a close friend of several of its members. While a simple reading of the concerto's pairing might suggest that the cello represents the more "sacred" and the big band the
