Antibiotic resistance results from bacteria changing in ways that make those antibiotics no longer useful. Resistance is a common yet problematic issue in treating pulmonary exacerbations or infections in people with Cystic Fibrosis (CF). Not all bacteria are bad. However‚ there are some that can cause infections. As bacteria are exposed to antibiotics over time‚ resistance may develop‚ and the number of antibiotics we have to kill the bacteria decreases as well. Thus‚ it is important to learn

ABSTRACT COOKSON‚ EDWARD JAMES. Development of the Metal Foam Electrical Resistance Heater. (Under the Direction of Dr. Albert Shih.) This thesis presents a novel concept using a radial heating element made from porous Fe-Cr-Al metal foam in an air heater. Electrical resistance heating has been used extensively to convert the electrical energy into thermal energy. An analytic heat transfer model is first developed to estimate dimensions of the heating element. Four prototype Fe-Cr-Al metal

Air resistance is an opposing force often known as drag force. Air resistance acts in the opposite direction to snow skier’s velocity and can either harm or enhance performance of the athlete. The flow of air around an object causes the unavoidable effect of drag and is influenced by the size‚ shape‚ surface‚ and overall speed of an object (John Polson‚ 2013). Air resistance is present in snow skiers and can inhibit their performance in a race greatly if the proper precautions and positions are

Task To investigate how the resistance of a wire is affected by the length of the wire. Theory What is resistance? Resistance is a force which opposes the flow of an electric current around a circuit so that energy is required to push the charged particles around the circuit. The circuit itself can resist the flow of particles if the wires are either very thin or very long. e.g. The filament across an electric light bulb. How is it measured? The resistance of a length of wire is calculated

Gang Resistance Education and Training Gang Resistance Education and Training (G.R.E.A.T) is a national program that educates elementary and middle school children how to avoid becoming a gang member. The program is instructed by police officers and is part classroom instruction and other learning activities. “The goal of the GREAT program is to teach youth how to set goals for themselves‚ how to resist peer pressure‚ how to resolve conflicts‚ and how gangs can affect the quality of their lives

development of increased resistance to antibiotics is a global concern. According to WHO (2015)‚ antimicrobial resistance is an increasingly serious threat to global public health that requires action across all government sectors and society. Antibiotic resistance threatens the effective prevention and treatment of an ever-increasing range of infections caused by bacteria‚ thereby resulting to loss of the ability to treat common infections. The development of antibiotic resistance is a natural phenomenon

Introduction Tele-nursing is the use of telecommunications technology such as videos‚ computers and tele-monitoring technologies to provide nursing care and advice at a distance. This growing technology offers many advantages in the delivery of healthcare information‚ disease monitoring‚ health promotion and disease prevention services‚ as well as nursing diagnosis‚ treatment and education to patient at home from a centralized location. Tele-nursing can be instrumental in helping patients
