Stress in controllers on the straight five-day shift was determined at Houston Intercontinental Tower in 1970. In 1971 controllers on the 2-2-1 rotation were studied at the same tower. Controllers generally prefer the 2-2-1 to the straight five-day schedule because of the long week end associated with the 2-2-1. Management is concerned that the 'qu

A popular construction technique in south Louisiana for many years has been the use of river sand to establish foundations for highways. The abundance of river sand and the need for it in excavation backfill operations across Louisiana's marshlands have fostered this concept.Recent construction problems on Route I-10 in St. James Parish and the dec
