INTRODUCTION 1.1 :R[1] MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) are innovative microfabricated devices with critical dimensions in the range of 1 to 1000µm. These devices are electro-mechanical structures whose complexity varies from a simple actuator to a highly complex electromechanical system performing a wide variety of sensing and control. Introduced in the early 60’s the development of this technology has been growing tremendously. It has been the pioneer in sensor and other applications.…

Semiconductor devices have transformed the way that we live by making tasks easier and more efficient than before. By utilizing the opinions of different professionals in the field about their affect on society, I want to investigate the different aspects of semiconductor devices. The question of will the accumulation of both the positive and negative outputs of the semiconductor industry lead to the need of advancing technology that is independent of the semiconductor. This is important to me…

Researchers were trying to investigate and answer the commonness of the change of phantom limb sensation and pain with visceral stimulation in military personnel with amputation and pain intensity. One of the questions that they were trying to answer was why do some people have get phantom limb pain…

This issue truly affects everyone in today’s society, especially Americans. With more and more states starting to legalize assisted suicide there are more debates and questions that develop. California is the latest state to pass the law, and later on this year it will be signed into action. Of course with any other law there are strict guidelines that go along with assisted suicide. The law will permit physicians to provide lethal prescriptions to mentally capable adults who have been…

platoon. Trained to do jobs that support soldiers on the front lines, the majority of the junior enlisted soldiers enlisted as support MOSs (Military Occupational Specialty). Additionally numerous amounts of these expertise included communications, medical, and maintenance. We would follow suit, to what our Non Commissioned Officers did and the examples they set, while filling our new specific roles in the mission. Even with the training we did receive, the expectations set for a platoon that…

A possible theme for the book “Columbine” is always pay attention and watch for signs. In the book there is many occasions where Eric and Dylan both showed signs of planning something violent. People knew about the pipe bombs, but no one said anything to the cops. Certain people also knew about them owning guns but again nobody said anything to the cops. The cops also had ways of stopping them and had numerous evidence files that Eric was threatening to kill people but everybody ignored the…

My neighbors running towards the house as I was sitting on the ground in distraught of what I just witnessed. Sitting there with my knees bent against my chest and my arms wrapped around my legs. I…

disposal is the process in which explosive devices are rendered safe and are properly disposed of. Bomb disposal teams, more commonly referred to as Bomb Squads have the job to identify, defuse and dispose of an explosive device. Bomb squads can be found in each branch of military as well as in our local and state police. Bomb disposal teams in the navy and airforce tend to work on the disposal of explosive chemicals more than they do explosive devices. The Army and Marines are trained more in…

I’m currently an active duty Infantry soldier who has served in both the Iraq and Afghanistan Theater. Over the years whether it be family, friends, or even strangers I’ve been asked many times the same particular questions. What about war is hard, why are so many soldiers suffering from PTSD, and what is it like? From the first day of basic training, we are taught that our main focus is to go to war and fight for our country. Our mentally changes and we start to develop an obsession with war.…

Sangin, Afghanistan is a graveyard for U.S troops and Allied forces. From 2009 to 2012 no other district in Afghanistan has claimed more lives of coalition forces than the Sangin district. The United States and British troops combined have lost over 162 service members while being deployed to the area. While I was deployed to Sangin in 2010, my battalion lost nine Marines in four days during the first few weeks of the deployment. By the end of our deployment, we sustained more casualties…
