INVESTIGATION OF ELECTRO-MECHANICAL FACTORS EFFECTING PIEZOELECTRIC ACTUATOR FOR VALVELESS MICROPUMP CHARACTERISTICS Abstract In this study, a new micropump was designed which is suitable for medical applications regarding size and flow rate. When a micropump is used to control the amount of drug delivery, the flow rate is a key parameter and can be controlled with the diaphragm displacement. The amount of displacement depends on the thickness of piezoelectric element, voltage,…

This documentary blew me away: it called me out on issues I didn’t even knew existed and filled in the gaps on my previously ignorant view of history. An underlying theme of the film was the continuous control of African-Americans under systems of racial control that have “appeared to die, but then are reborn in a new form tailored to the needs of the time” (Alexander). Hence, after the civil war, mass numbers of African Americans were arrested for trivial crimes like loitering. “It was our…

Witch-hunting in Early Modern Europe The infamous witch hunting which took place in Early Modern Europe is a fascinating and recently contested event of significance to New Zealanders. From around the time of the mid-15th century to that of the 17th, the European continent was plagued by what is now known to be ‘The Great Witch Craze’. Many were put to trial under the belief that they had been practising Satanic rituals that did not align with conventional Christianity. Now, as historians look…

in which he is explaining how he collected the information, noting the majority were testimonials, followed by various types of records and then from pollen collections or tree rings. However, he concedes the biases, generalizations, and “fuzzy nomenclature” make testimonials difficult to trust at face value. The purpose behind this concession is to secure his argument from a refutation based on testimonials. The concession in itself does strengthen his argument, however, Cronon does not…

senior year. I recall freshman year paying little to no attention to the lectures I received in class. Instead, I’d write down song lyrics in my biology notebook and talk to the friends sitting next to me. Every exposition on photosynthesis or Latin nomenclature sailed through one ear, rattling in my brain for a short moment for later recollection on a test or quiz, before leaving my active mind forever. Everything in the class seemed so distant to me due to my inattention. It seemed almost…

Isms The world is revolving. It may seem ridiculous to reiterate this rudimentary fact of science, but it is important in noting that, like the earth, all life upon its surface is in a state of perpetual spin, turning from one phase to another. Human beings are carried through evolution through continuous revolutions of heart, mind, and expression as witnessed in the unending attempts to better oneself, or all selves, through political, religious, and artistic mediums. Furthermore, these…

For instance, sharing of patient data may help healthcare providers in reducing the rates of readmission, avoiding medical errors as well as decreasing repeated testing. However, healthcare facilities should consider all the regulations and policies when it comes to sharing any information. B. Need to Share Data Considering Midtown Family Clinic case study analysis, there are…

Rationale I decided to turn this lesson into a flipped lesson as the topic on ionic bonding is something very microscopic and I feel it would help students to develop a more concrete understanding of an abstract topic. By recording the lecture which includes a step-by-step guide on drawing a dot-and-cross diagram, the weaker ones will be able to study at their pace and choose to pause or rewind should they not understand. This helps them to understand the concepts better, as opposed to going…
