Murder, aggravated assault, and robbery, what if Americans treated obesity just as seriously as these crimes? According to a 2009-2010 National Health and Nutrition Examination survey, ¨ More than one-third (35.7 percent) of adults are considered to be obese¨ (NIDDK). Compared to the ¨one in 18,690 chance of being robbed¨; If Americans would worry about being a victim of obesity as much as they do being robbed, obesity in America would decrease (Books of Odds). There are several factors that can…
limited in comparison to other great ones in the field such as Claude Lévi-Strauss, he did study tribes in Madagascar and had other relevant first-hand encounters with the science. By making use of his past mentioned knowledge, but also by drawing parallel ideas and arguments encompassing the fields of Psychology, History and Economy, the author tries to prove the reader that debt, going by the meaning of a measurable obligation, is at the core of every human group, a phenomenon that appears…
The main role of PMN is phagocytosis of bacteria and tissue debri. PMNs are also a major source of cytokines, especially tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), and second population that invades the wound consist of macrophages. The function of macrophages is phagocytosis , activation and recruitment of other cells by releasing various cytokines, growth factors such as Vascular endothelial growth Factor, Insulin like Growth Factor and Epidermal Growth Factor. Macrophages regulate matrix synthesis…
〖Power〗_i=T_i*w_i V. Design Specifications The manipulator arm design was based on Kitty Hawk quadrotor that can carry up to 4.3 kg payload and has a (Width: 42” Length: 40” Height: 10”).

J Intell Robot Syst (2013) 69:131–146 137 for optimum performance in an iterative fashion. Lastly, from the two concepts, one of them is se- lected in terms of performance, manufacturability and cost. The initial analysis of the wing geometry de- sign process is performed by using the program XFLR5 . XFLR5 utilizes Vortex-Lattice-Method which gives preliminary results from which the configurations can be compared. After the optimization of these two different wing…
Introduction Glenouhumeral Joint The glenohumeral (GH) joint, which is also known as shoulder joint, is a multiaxial ball-and-socket synovial joint. This joint is responsible for connecting the upper extremity of the trunk. The glenohumeral joint is one of the four joints that comprise the shoulder complex. The joint is considered to be the most mobile and least stable joint. The articular surfaces of the glenohumeral joint are the head of humerus and glenoid fossa of scapula. The humeral…
CHAPTER – 1 1. INTRODUCTION Carbon nanotubes are allotropes of carbon with cylindrical nanostructure. Constructed with length-to - diameter ratio of up to 132,000,000 :1. These cylindrical carbon molecules have unusual properties, which are valuable for nanotechnology, electronics, optics and other fields of materials science and technology. Nanotubes are members of fullerene structural family. Nanotube’s walls are formed by one-atom thick sheet of carbon called Graphene. The combination of…
People love their food. Our sustenance is the most prevalent item tracing to the beginning of time, simply because human beings cannot survive without the nourishment that food provides us. As time has progressed, however, food has morphed from a commodity that aids our survival, into our de facto when stressed, bored, or in need of a good time. Thanks to the accession of fast food chains and the wide influence of sensationalizing advertisements, food has become far more than a simple necessity…
While ubiquitous Internet access is extremely convenient and enables marvelous new applications for mobile users, it also creates a major security vulnerability—by placing a passive receiver in the vicinity of the wireless transmitter, that receiver can obtain a copy of every packet that is transmitted! These packets can contain all kinds of sensitive information, including passwords, social security numbers, trade secrets, and private personal messages. A passive receiver that records a copy of…
