...that can be substituted to commercial ink. In conducting the experiment, the researchers gathered nipa fruits, these were cut into small portions and weighed into 200 grams. The reduced fruits were soaked in a mixture of 100ml distilled water and 1 gram Ferrous Sulfate (FeSO4) as solvent, vinegar, and salt. Theset-up was boiled for one hour. After boiling the mixture was filtered to separate the black filtrate from undissolved particles. On a laser bond paper the ink produced was tested after being refilled to a pen and was compared to other synthetic commercial ink available in the market. The conductivity and transmittance time , drying time and luminance and adhesion were tested and compared. Results of the test showed that the experimental ink with a proportion of 200 grams nipa palm fruit husk, 100 ml distilled water, 1 gram ferrous sulfate and ½ tablespoon of salt and ½ tablespoon of vinegar produced an output with the highest conductivity and transmittance time, drying time and luminance and adhesion. With the cost of production much lower than that of a commercial ink and having no significant difference in the mean property to the commercial ink the Nipa Palm Fruit Husk Ink proved to be more economical to produce. Acknowledgement The researcher earnestly wishes to convey his heartfelt gratitude and sincere appreciation to the following that have made...

...1] Introduction: A cold seal adhesive is a material that has good adhesion to itself at ambient temperatures, a property that is often referred to as “self-adhesion”, “auto adhesion”, or “autohesion”[1]. Cold seal adhesive comprise a special class of pressure-sensitive adhesives which possess the capability of forming a strong bond to themselves and hence also known as cohesives. Cold-seal adhesives are an established class of commercial adhesives characterized by being coated onto plastic films or other substrates to form layers that have the capability of strongly bonding to themselves when pressure is applied, but having lower adhesion to the substrates e.g. plastic films, coated papers etc. So such flexible webs bearing these cold-seal...

...------------------------------------------------- avoid predation by evolution by Joseph Yang April 13, 2015 by Joseph Yang April 13, 2015 Evolution is a change in the gene frequency in a population through time. Evolution causes an organism’s ability to survive to increase. In many cases, predators evolve to catch their prey more efficiently. Evolution is not one sided. The prey also evolves to avoid predation. In this paper, I will discuss three researches done on a prey’s evolution to survive against predation. I will discuss the tail autonomy in Tokay gecko (Sanggaard et al. 2012), the odorous and non-fatal secretion in Wrinkled frog (Yoshimura and Kasuya 2013), and the avoidance response in Brownbanded bamboo shark embryos (Kempster et al. 2013). Together, these studies show the effectiveness and vital impact of evolution to the survival of prey. Sanggaard et al. (2012) researched evolution in Tokay gecko (Gekko gecko) to investigate the mechanism of their tail autonomy by facilitating autonomy. The geckos were euthanized by pentobarbital and the tails were removed by induced autonomy. Moisture from the exposed end of the tail was collected and subjected to Gel Electrophoresis and Mass Spectrometry and analyzed using MS-BLAST. The tails’ structure was analyzed through multiple methods. Through Magnetic Resonance Imaging, a Micro Imaging 5 probe, a Great 60 Imaging system, a saddle coil, and a gradient cooling temperature of 20°C was utilized. Electron Microscopy...

...Introduction As of last year, it was reported that over a million Canadians have heart disease, which also ranks as one of the major causes of death in Canada 1. Additionally, cardiovascular disease claims more than 33,000 lives each year. Furthermore, about ninety percent (9 out of 10) Canadians over the age of twenty years have at least one risk factor for heart disease, and of this number, forty percent (4 out of ten 10) have three or more risk factors 1. Various factors can increase the risk of heart disease - some of which can be controlled while others cannot. The uncontrollable risk factors include age, ethnicity and having a family history of heart disease; but controllable risk factors mainly comprise making lifestyle or behavioral changes such as smoking cessation and avoiding excessive alcohol consumption, eating healthy, exercising regularly and reducing stress 1. Consequently, an individual can reduce their risk of heart disease by understanding the risk factors that cause it, and making changes to their lifestyle. The Dietary Guidelines for Canadians (Eating Healthy with Canada’s Food Guide) describes a healthful diet as one that emphasizes a variety of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and fat-free or low-fat milk and milk products 2. Fruits and some vegetables are excellent sources of vitamin C, which is a water soluble vitamin. Fruits with the highest sources of vitamin C include cantaloupe, citrus fruits and juices, such as orange and grapefruit kiwi fruit...

...Thesis Statement Writing Tuesday, Jun. 8th 2010 Before you familiarize yourself with thesis statement writing, you need to know what the statement is in the first place. This sentence basically sums up your main objective for writing the term paper, creates a simple guide for the reader and provides the basis for your argument. All in all thesis statement writing is quite simple, as long as you keep some tips and techniques in mind. The first thing you need to do is put together one question which is only possible if you compress the entire thesis. A great way to do this is examine the main topic and create a question out of it. It will give you a basic idea of what the statement should look like and how you should answer that question. The first sentence should introduce the topic and the objective and the next few should spell out how you plan to support your argument. Thesis statement writing, therefore, is about asking yourself the fundamental question that forms the essence of your paper. When you are done writing the statement, step back and examine in from another point of view to determine whether it is strong or weak. A strong statement is one which sparkles with confidence and focuses on one and only one aspect of the issue. This means that you can’t be vague or off-hand about the topic. If you have selected a theme, you should be ready to stand up for it- now is not the time to be diplomatic or meek. In addition to that, it should also spell out the basis for...

...elicits a response urging us to seek medical attention. Of course, many people will turn to traditional medicine for a solution, often receiving medication to cover the pain caused; never correcting the root cause of the pain. As time moves on surgery may be suggested by the traditional practitioner and that solution only affords a few more years before the same symptoms will return or even less time to create a new problem in a surrounding tissue, then the process comes full circle. A reason for the binded, under active, and dysfunctional muscles is the accumulation of scar tissue. By definition scar tissue, or cicatricial tissue, is the dense fibrous tissue forming a matrix, derived directly from granulation tissue. For the purpose of this paper I will use the term scar tissue throughout its length. Scar tissue binds up and ties down tissues that need to move freely. This dense, fibrous tissue affects us all and is an underlying factor in many injuries. As scar tissue builds up, muscles become shorter and weaker, tension on tendons causes tendinosis, nerves can become trapped, and altered movement patterns result causing discomfort often pain. “All these problems can cause reduced range of motion, loss of strength as well as tingling, numbness, and weakness” [1]. Scar tissue forms two different ways: first, if a muscle, tendon, or ligament is torn or crushed, the body creates scar tissue to glue the torn pieces together. This is a necessary part of the healing process. The second...

...we live in, we have been almost desensitised to its brilliant innovation. The innovation of the Post It Note went through a number of distinct stages and processes. In this assignment I will attempt to give a clear and cohesive analysis starting from the earliest ideas of the Post It right through to the products available today. 3M The physical invention of the post it spanned over a period of 10 years, however, I believe the earliest derivation of the modern day Post It Note can be traced back to the very establishment of the 3M Company itself. In 1902 the business got off to a rather bad start when a group of investors by mistake bought a mountain containing worthless mineral to start a business to mine corundum to manufacture sand paper). Unsurprisingly the company did not generate profit for 14 years. Seemingly spurred on by their less than successful origins, 3m have since always strived to create a working environment in which innovation can flourish. Brand (1998) on the topic of 3m states that “to guarantee such conditions are in place and sustained over time, requires a long term commitment from top management, the recruitment and retention of the right people and a strong support and recognition programme.” Brand (1998) insists however that innovation cannot be allocated to one or two individuals in an organisation, that “it must permeate the entire fabric of an organisation and every department within a company, not just...

...Homocysteine and The Cardiovascular System Abstract Cardiovascular disease is considered to be the leading cause of death to date. There are many factors that contribute to cardiovascular disease. Some factors are conventional and straightforward, while others are unconventional and overlooked (Dwivedi, Tripathi, Shukla, Khan, Chauhan, 2011). Homocysteine is an amino acid found in the body that helps to build and maintain tissue. High levels of homocysteine have been linked to endothelial damage to the blood vessels. This damage can lead to plaque formation, thus atherosclerosis can ensue (American Heart Association, 2012). Although there are many causes of hyperhomocysteinemia, research has shown that nutritional replacement has helped to lower the level. Folic acid and B vitamins have shown to decrease homocysteine levels and thus help decrease plaque formation. Patients with high levels of homocysteine are instructed to include folic acid and b vitamins in their diet, restrict methionine, and exercise. Homocysteine is an unconventional risk factor for cardiovascular disease, and can also be used as a risk marker (Milani & Lavi, 2008). Homocysteine and The Cardiovascular System Cardiovascular disease involves all the diseases that affect the heart and vessels. There are many different diseases that affect the cardiovascular system. Atherosclerosis is one of these diseases. Atherosclerosis is characterized by the accumulation of soft, fatty and fibrinous...

...February 6, 2011 Lawrence Hibbard How to manage Complication of Diabetes People who were diagnosed with diabetes have a strong chance of having any of the complication that diabetics have. They will have a strong task ahead of them, keeping them healthy to prevent any complication with diabetes. There are Many complications that come with diabetes; Retinopathy, Neuropathy, and Nephropathy. Here is some information about these diseases and steps to help prevent and to manage these complications, do research online and find an every site that will give them the information needed to obtain the first steps in working out this problem. Diabetic Retinopathy When the retina gets nerve damage by the diabetes it weakens the blood vessels. There are steps people can take to reduce their chance of vision loss from complications from diabetic retinopathy. ‘’Hyperglycaemia results in thickening of the basement membrane in the capillaries and loss of endothelial cell adhesion, leading to lose of integrity of these small vessels. This causes a change in blood vessel permeability and the leakage of water, blood, protein, and fat into the surrounding retinal tissue’’ (Shotliff, & Balasanthiran, 2009). They will have to know all of the warning signs and act accordingly. Some of the signs are blurry vision, black or gray spots, cobwebs or strings that move of float when they moves his eyes.

Introduction and Background 2.1 Injection Moulding Injection moulding [1] is a manufacturing process that inserting material at higher pressure into a closed, cold mould, with inverse of the desired geometric of the parts, where it solidifies to form part, then followed by mould opened to release the part, and the cycle repeats. Injection moulding is capable to repeatedly form identical discrete parts at a shorter turnaround time as compare to machining. Injection moulding not necessarily rely on one material, there’s variety of materials for example polymer and metals that can be used to produce parts. In this paper, the scope focuses plastic injection moulding by using polymer. Polymer [2] is adapted from Greek as ‘many part’, which describes molecule composed of many identical parts that synthesized together to from a large macromolecules. Generally plastic injection moulding uses thermoplastic and thermosetting polymers. The plastic parts that can be formed by injection moulding range from small electronic components such as lid of air-cavity package, to body panels of cars. Due to the capability...

...Minnesota, Twin Cities THE INTEGRATION of microelectromechanical systems(MEMS) sensors and actuators with other classes of microcomponents—electronic, optical, and fluidic—onto a single substrate has the potential to create powerful and complex microsystems. To increase device performance and thus realize the potential of microsystems, it is now accepted that the integration must occur at the micro scale. There are two possible routes: either the micro-components are fabricated at their desired locations in a single process, or they are fabricated separately and then positioned using micro assembly techniques. Since many classes of micro components cannot be co-fabricated effectively due to materials and process incompatibilities, several research groups are developing micro assembly approaches. In the micro assembly route, different classes of micro components are fabricated in separate processes, removed from their substrates, and assembled onto a target substrate of choice. For most applications, sub micrometer positioning and methods for establishing high-quality mechanical and electrical connections to the substrate are required. As in co fabrication, small-area electrical connections are desirable as they provide interfaces with low parasitic capacitances, resulting in greater measurement sensitivity of the devices. One advantage of using micro assembly, rather than pursuing co-fabrication, is the fabrication process for each micro component can be optimized separately. Secondly...

...Running head: HEALTH PROMOTION IN NURSING CARE HEALTH PROMOTION IN NURSING CARE Donna Pisarski Grand Canyon University Family-Centered Health Promotion NRS-429V Ms. Renita Holmes September 21, 2012 Health Promotion in Nursing Care This paper will discuss health promotion and what health care changes are occurring. Through the expanding role in nursing this paper discusses what those roles will entail and the use of primary, secondary, and tertiary care when developing a patient centered care plan. The health care field has been traditionally based around a concept of healing the ill, finding cures, and eradicating disease through immunizations, health being viewed as the absence of disease. Today’s medicine is changing to a new process, a process of promoting health and wellbeing through disease prevention, the teachings of healthy eating and being physically fit. A push to get people involved with and take responsibility for their own health is known as “health promotion”. President Obama signed the Affordable Care Act on March 23,2010, by doing this the whole climate of health care change. A call out for all health care professionals to practice to the full extent of their education and competencies, to streamline health care towards a patient centered system, and deliver a more primary care approach (Institute of Medicine, 2011, pp. 86-87). The goal by doing this is to improve health and wellness, quality of life, and in-turn reduce health care expenditure in...
