    article discussed three major ways to prevent heel pressure ulcers using pillows‚ a repose boot‚ and a wedge. At the end of the study the device with the most positive feedback and fewest complaints would be used as the heel pressure ulcer prevention device in the acute orthopedic setting at the hospital. Heel pressure ulcers could occur easily due to the bone structure of the heel and patient’s knowledge about how to prevent heel pressure ulcers. The original study was to be implemented only on patients

    One primary concern for the aging population is the risk of developing pressure ulcers (PU). PU are any localized sore‚ wound or injury to the skin and/or underlying tissue usually located over a bony prominence. Tayyib et al. suggests that maneuverability is a natural defense to lessen or shorten continuous pressure on the skin (2015). Extended external pressure is the most frequently considered stress factor in the development of PU. The prevention and management of PU in both hospitals and community

    Breaking a Ruler with Atmospheric Pressure Introduction In this experiment‚ I will try to use air pressure‚ along with some sheets of newspaper‚ to attempt to break a ruler. Air pressure is the weight of the atmosphere pressing down on the earth. A device called a barometer measures it in units called millibars. Most barometers use mercury in a glass column‚ like a thermometer‚ to measure the change in air pressure. I came up with this idea from when I read in a book about how some kids tried to

    Pressure Distribution around a Symmetric Aerofoil Abstract: The following report is based on an experiment conducted to calculate the lift curve slope for a symmetrical aerofoil subjected to varying angles of attack. Pressure readings were taken at different points on the upper and lower surface of the aerofoil. The report concludes that maximum lift is generated between 12 º -15º‚ which is also the stall point. It also states that region close to the leading edge contributes most to the lift force
