Amazon.com is developing a system to gather and keep massive amounts of intimate information about its millions of shoppers‚ including their religion‚ sexual orientation‚ ethnicity and income. The database‚ which would combine information disclosed voluntarily by customers with facts gleaned from public databases‚ conceivably would give Amazon a larger or more detailed profile of its customers than any other retailer. The Seattle-based company‚ with 59 million active customers‚ said it has no immediate

Particles of dirt or grease on a magnetic recording surface or a malfunctioning circuit may cause data to be incorrectly recorded or read. Static on a transmission path may corrupt portions of the data. And‚ in the case of some technologies‚ normal background radiation can alter patterns

TYPES OF MAGNETIC MATERIALS Paramagnetic materials have a small‚ positive susceptibility to magnetic fields. These materials are slightly attracted by a magnetic field and the material does not retain the magnetic properties when the external field is removed. Paramagnetic properties are due to the presence of some unpaired electrons‚ and from the realignment of the electron paths caused by the external magnetic field. Paramagnetic materials include magnesium‚ molybdenum‚ lithium‚ and tantalum

Noninvasive Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Guided Focused Ultrasound (FUS) Treatment for Breast Cancer Magnetic resonance imaging guided focused ultrasound is completely noninvasive treatment for breast cancer which requires less anesthesia‚ recovery time and could avoid infections‚ scar formation and possibly reduce cost. It is the method of choice for accurate delimitation of many breast tumors‚ it can noninvasively measure ultrasound induced temperature. The combination of MRI and FUS concurrently

Kinesio Tape for Athletes: A big help‚ or just a trend? Student Name: Yung Sze Pak Student ID: 14024623D Institute of Textiles and Clothing The Hong Kong Polytechnic University 14024623D@connect.polyu.hk Introduction They’ve been hard to miss at this year’s Olympic Games: Strips of brightly colored tape adorning the arms‚ legs‚ and torsos of many top athletes. Many athletes believe it has medical benefits. But does it give a big help to Athletes‚ or just a fashion trend? The Kinesio tape is one

Production of magnetic flux A rotating magnetic field in the stator is the first part of operation. To produce a torque and thus rotate‚ the rotors must be carrying some current. In induction motors‚ this current comes from the rotor conductors. The revolving magnetic field produced in the stator cuts across the conductive bars of the rotor and induces an e.m.f. The rotor windings in an induction motor are either closed through an external resistance or directly shorted. Therefore‚ the e.m.f induced

Krapp’s Last Tape Samuel Beckett : A Play Review Last Thursday‚ members of the IB theatre classes attended the production of two one-act plays. Both seemed to incorporate the ideas of black comedy which is a sub-genre of comedy and satire where topics and events which are usually treated seriously are treated in a humours and satirical manner. In this case‚ Lady Grey finds humour in rape and the sadness of lonelihood while Krapp’s Last Tape seems to satirize madness and sadness. With this central

Taping will help to protect the fascia and allow time for healing to occur. It can also enable patient with severe pain to walk again. The tape should tighten when standing‚ and should absorb some of the tension that would have been in the fascia. (The pain may be relieved immediately).11 The kinesio tape acts as a form of support without compromising on the patients range of motion while biomechanically allowing the body to heal itself.12 Stretching is a general term used to describe any therapeutic
