Mobility device

Terrorists are able to transfer through one border to another, therefore tracking them becomes extremely difficult. Electronic devices are much more advanced and convenient in size. *Globalization has encouraged the transfer of goods for example, terrorists are able to intervene, confiscate and destroy exchangeable links between countries. *Globalization has also developed…

study in particular tested hip-protectors in hospital/nursing home setting. They used two different protectors, one that was a hard shell to divert impact away from soft tissues another was a soft pad designed to absorb the force of the fall. Both devices were kept in place with special underwear. Unfortunately, the study showed no real difference in the reduction of falls or prevention of injury after a fall. This is why the above-mentioned preventions and precautions are so important in…

Abstract: We describe the successful synthesis of Polypyrrole-Gold nanocomposites (PPy-Au NCs) by the chemical oxidative polymerization of pyrrole with ferric chloride as an oxidizing agent, in the presence of a colloidal suspension of gold nanoparticles. Gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) were synthesized by standard citrate reduction method. Au NPs and PPy-Au NCs were characterized by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Atomic Forced Microscopy (AFM), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Fourier…

According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), spina bifida is a condition that is obvious at birth and disturbs the spine (“Spina Bifida,” 2017). It is a type of neural tube defect. “Spina bifida can happen anywhere along the spine if the neural tube does not close all the way.” If/when the neural tube does not close all of the way, the backbone that protects the spina cord does not shape and close as it should. When this happens, it can lead to damage to the nerves and spinal…

with advancements in technology and transportation crime is even easier to commit in all areas compared to just the “zone of transition”. This is similar to what is mentioned in the article by Shaw and McKay “…growth of cities and the increase in devices for transportation and communication have so accelerated the rate of change in our society that the traditional means of social…

clinical I observed an interaction between a client and two Occupational Therapists (OT) that really emphasised the importance of ‘capacity building’ and how it facilitates ‘empowerment’. A community OT was assessing the client for a new assistive mobility device. During the assessment the community OT directed all his questions to the Gage OT and never specifically asked the client about what she needed or required from the new piece of equipment. The community OT acted like the client was not…

In 1990, Congress approved the American with Disability Act, providing protection to disabled individuals or citizens from discrimination in different forms. This Act was designed to protect the right of the people with disabilities, and have the same opportunities with those individuals without disabilities enjoy. Title III of ADA of 1990 prohibits discrimination on basis of disability. Modifications are designed to accommodate and give accessibility to disabled people. This dissertation will…

Introduction Graphene is considered as pure carbon in the form of a very thin, one atom thick nearly transparent sheet. It is very strong for its low weight (100 times more stronger than steel and it conducts heat and electricity efficiently. While scientists had theorized about graphene for decades, it was first produced in the lab in 2003. Because it is virtually two-dimensional, it interacts oddly with light and with other materials. Researchers have identified the, ballistic transport of…

Intro Health as defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) is “a complete state of physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity” (website #1). The definition of disability is not quite so straight forward. Over the last 25 years there have been many different attempts to define disability using different frameworks. The medical model views disability as a condition that is caused by a specific diseases or impairment, which is then assumed to…

Artificial Intelligence in Computers. Artificial intelligence (AL) can be described as a process that the computer can exhibit decision-making process. It is a field in computer science that is of a great interest and countless experiments are conducted all over the world by scholars. In our daily work we use some components of artificial intelligence which is not so fascinating for all of us now, but few decades ago it was a beyond imagination experiment. At today’s concept, computers can think…
