It is that time of the year that I love the most, it is starting to get cold. The sun and I do not get along. In the past, I used to hate the winter because my knees would be achy and just in pain all the time. I am sure I am not the only one out there who has had this problem. If you did not know, I had a series of knee surgeries that used to cause me so much pain and agony. I thought I was going to be in pain for the rest of my life but that is definitely not the case anymore. For 3…

The article that was chosen for this assignment to be updated by a more recent article was the research study conducted on how colour based synesthesia affects memory performance on a given task (Smilek, Dixon, Cudahy, & Merikle, 2002). A 21 year old female, C, was the synesthete in this study who claimed to remember all of the digits in four lists that were presented to a university class, as a memory span exercise, with perfect accuracy while the other students could only remember six of the…

Google Brain is a project that uses Tensor Flow to categorize shapes and images with captions. The process will provide people who use the Google Image search engine more of a decisive answer to their word, phrase, or question. Audio is another capability that has been programmed to recognize and respond appropriately. The audio software is in its infancy stage. Smart Reply is another project from the Google Brain which recommends quick responses to a person’s email in Gmail. Deep Learning is…

rate at which heat can be transferred through a certain material. It is also expressed as the flux of heat, which flows per unit time through a unit distance with a temperature gradient of one degree per unit area. Thermal conductivity, like other tensor parameters, has different values in different directions. In SI units, thermal conductivity has the unit of watts per meter Kelvin (W/ (m*K)). Each HLW (or spent fuel) disposal canister produces around 1000 to 2000 watts of heat during the decay…

Stop reading if this doesn’t fit. Have you ever felt like you wake up, get ready, maybe get the kids ready, head off to work or school, take the old same route to work every day, get off work, go to the gym, go cook dinner, watch some TV, get ready for bed, then go to bed and do that same day all over again. If this sounds pretty familiar to you; then it might be wise to go back and reread the mindless autopilot rerun of a life that you may be living. We usually don’t open our eyes to see what…

Interestingly, the age-related increase is steeper in males than females (Paus 1). Whilst the cortical gray matter seems to peak at puberty, the volumes of the white cortical matter show a linear increase throughout adolescence. A new study of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) has been used to assess white matter changes in detail in the human brain in adolescence (Paus 3). The amygdala has been an area of recent study that neurologists say is an important factor for anxiety disorders since the…

CEREBRAL MICROVASCULAR SYSTEM C-SVD. C-SVD refers to a group of pathological processes with various etiologies that affect the small arteries, arterioles, and capillaries. Chronic hypoperfusion due to arteriolosclerosis of long penetrating small arteries and arterioles is believed to be responsible for the initial ischemic changes in white matter.[19] White matter is highly sensitive to changes in cerebral blood flow[20] and hypoxic-ischemic injury.[21] Over time, some but not all white matter…

Imaging studies have transcended the historically common musculoskeletal use becoming a crucial tool in most health care fields providing valuable information in the diagnosis and management of many conditions and diseases. One of those conditions is the continuing growing epidemic of obesity in the United States of America becoming one of the major causes of mortality in our country. Obesity is not an isolated cosmetic element (National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, 2012); it is a serious…

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,…

rate-temperature gradient relation. Hetnarski and Ignackzak (1996) introduced a low temperature thermo elasticity. In this model, in comparison to the classical theory, the free energy and the heat flux both depend on the temperature and the strain tensor, and also on the elastic heat flow that satisfies a non-linear evolution equation. Chandrasekharaiah (1998) and Tzou, (1995) formulated a dual phase lag thermoelasticity. They replaced Fourier’s law by an approximation to a modification of…
