...The Caesarian Section is an operation which is done to deliver a baby also known as a C- section. It is done through a surgical process where a cut is made through the mother’s abdomen and the pelvic area to deliver the baby or babies. The C- section is usually done whenever a vaginal delivery fails and the life of the mother or even the baby is at risk. Some people also request for the C-section to be done without any medical reasons but social or personal reasons. It is however recommended that the caesarian section is done under medical grounds by surgical experts. The main benefit of the caesarian section is that the life of the mother or the baby or even both can be saved through the operation. Another advantage is that the woman does...

...Running head: APPLICATIONS OF A CONIC SECTION Applications of a Conic Section and its use in Mathematics Shabue C. Johnson ITT Technical Institute APPLICATIONS OF A CONIC SECTION A conic section is the curve made when you take a particular angle from a double napped cone. A double napped cone is one cone placed on another and the tips of the cones match up exactly with the tips lined up perfectly. When taking a “ Slice” through the cone you are actually taking a section of the cone and from that section you are dealing with a shape. If you take an exact slice through the cone horizontally, you are left with a circle. If you take a slice roughly at a forty five degree, you will be dealing with an ellipse. If you take a slice that is parallel from one edge of the cone to the other cone, you are dealing with a parabola. If you take a slice from directly off centered but straight down from top to bottom, you give yourself a hyperbola. These are a few terms with definitions you will see while working with conic sections. In a circle, ellipse, and a hyperbola you have a Center. Which is usually at the point of (h,k.) The focus or “Foci” is the point which distances are measured in forming the conic. The directrix is the distance that is measured in forming the conic. The major access is the line that is perpendicular to the directrix that passes through the foci. Half of the major axis between the center and the vertex is called the semi major access. There is a general...

...Critical Section Problem Problem Description Informally, a critical section is a code segment that accesses shared variables and has to be executed as an atomic action. The critical section problem refers to the problem of how to ensure that at most one process is executing its critical section at a given time. Important: Critical sections in different threads are not necessarily the same code segment! Concurrent Software Systems 2 1 Problem Description Formally, the following requirements should be satisfied: Mutual exclusion: When a thread is executing in its critical section, no other threads can be executing in their critical sections. Progress: If no thread is executing in its critical section, and if there are some threads that wish to enter their critical sections, then one of these threads will get into the critical section. Bounded waiting: After a thread makes a request to enter its critical section, there is a bound on the number of times that other threads are allowed to enter their critical sections, before the request is granted. Concurrent Software Systems 3 Problem Description In discussion of the critical section problem, we often assume that each thread is executing the following code. It is also assumed that (1) after a thread enters a critical section, it will eventually exit the critical section; (2) a thread may terminate in the non-critical section. while (true) { entry section critical section exit section...

...Increasing Rate of Cesarean Sections Humanity has been around for thousands of years and humans like most animals have existed due to the sexual reproduction of offspring. Women have been the mothers and birth givers since the beginning of time. They go through all the stressful acts of growth, hormones, and labor to give life to a beautiful innocent child that has been forming inside the womb for nine months. The child develops and matures through each trimester because the mother listens to her body, which is the most advanced technology that determines when to eat, nurture, and deciphers complications. The sexual reproduction process has always been the same for all women without change. However, the process and methods used during the delivery process have been studied, scrutinized, and practiced with the same goal in mind, a healthy mother and baby. Most methods of delivery have derived from midwife and doctor ideology being the foundation of the chosen method. During the medieval era, estimated infant death rate was near a staggering 30%. Death came in many guises for infants with most of those coming from bacteria and disease. During this era most births were performed by women because it was uncommon for a man to be involved in a womanly act. Therefore, the creation of a midwife was developed and they became the experts on birth. A popular delivery practice was to tie the woman down to prevent them from moving. To give and understanding on how new medicine...

...Absorbable Sutures versus Staples for Cesarean Sections Victoria Fath Kent State University Absorbable Sutures versus Staples for Cesarean Sections Introduction The Merriam-Webster Dictionary (n.d.) defines a Cesarean section as, "A surgical operation for giving birth in which a cut is made in the mother's body so that the baby can be removed through the opening." "Cesarean delivery is the most common major surgical procedure performed in the United States and elsewhere. Currently, approximately a third of pregnant women in the US and 15% worldwide deliver by cesarean, and this prevalence is on the rise" (Dana Figueroa et al., 2013, p. 33). Since Cesarean sections are incredibly common and are only increasing, the risks for complications, such as infections, increase with it. To try and decrease the risks as much as possible, this study aims to look at the differences between two types of closing material used in Cesarean sections; absorbent sutures and staples. Are absorbable sutures more effective and safer than staples for Cesarean sections? The purpose of this study is to compare absorbent sutures and staples for clients undergoing a Cesarean section and to see which material has a lesser risk for infection and wound complications, which is more cost effective for the hospital, and patient satisfaction. This paper will help shed light on this subject by compiling multiple research articles and journals to create a better understanding on which...

...IS4799: Unit 1 Common RFP Sections The common sections of an RFP are: Introduction: The Introduction section of an RFP states the purpose, scope, and necessary background information about the RFP. The introduction sets the stage for the RFP and summarizes its main points. Each RFP introduction is different and contains information that is specific to that RFP. Many RFPs contain general information that is common, including the following: • Statement of purpose: The statement of purpose summarizes the intent and purpose of the RFP and briefly conveys its reasons for its existence. While it does not contain many performance requirements, this section provides a very general overview of the RFP. The statement of purpose is deliberately high-level and provides few details. • Scope: Readers should gain a general sense of the performance requirements of the RFP from this section. The scope defines the specific products, services, period, terms, and conditions of the RFP. In many RFPs, the scope section simply refers readers to appropriate appendices for more detailed coverage. • Compliance stipulations : The introduction often contains any general compliance stipulations that apply to the RFP process, including vendor selection and performance of the proposal contents. W hile government-related RFPs usually contain statements of compliance with equal opportunity and disability regulations, any other mandatory compliance requirements will be included...

...with an ethical issue. Deliverable: 1. Introduction. It was something I witnessed, an ethical issue which I wish to point out. It is not really similar to that of the Lab’s video. It is about an investigation into a safety incident whereby a soldier, Solider A, fractured his hand during a botched attempt to lift an armored vehicle’s engine panel. 2. Background leading to incident. A background to the incident is necessary for a complete understanding of the ethical issue. Corporal A belonged to Platoon 1 Section 1, which was not assigned the task of lifting the engine panel. Platoon 2 Section 2 was assigned the task. Platoon 2 Section 2 Leader, Sergeant B, was not yet certified to operate the crane, hence they were in a fix as to how to proceed. However, Sergeant B is the senior ranking soldier and was supposed to be in charge of the operation. Corporal A came along and notice the situation, and decided to help. He and some of his buddies from Section 1 decided to operate the crane. The chains were not secured properly and gave way due to the weight, and crushed...

...How To Read University Texts or Journal Articles Choose a section preferrably not longer than 25 or 30 pages - perhaps one chapter, or a section of a chapter - that you can handle at one sitting. Step 1. Read the title, the introduction, and the conclusion (5 minutes). Step 2. Read the title, the introduction again, all sub-headings, and the conclusion, again. (5-10 minutes). Step 3. Read the title, the introduction one more time, sub-headings, the Topic Sentence of each paragraph - usually the first or second sentence, (you may read the last sentence as well, if you have time), any italicized or boldfaced words, lists (you can skim these), and the conclusion (10 minutes). (Force yourself to do steps 1 to 3 in less than 25 minutes.) Step 4. Close your textbook. Step 5. Make a Mind-Map of all you can remember in the chapter. Do not stop until at least half an hour is up, even if you feel that you can't possibly remember any more--more will surface if you give yourself the time. DO NOT REFER TO THE TEXT WHILE YOU ARE DOING THIS. If you come to a dead end, try alternative memory techniques to the ones you have been using: associating ideas, either from within the section itself or from other related material; visualizing pages, pictures, graphs etc.; recalling personal associations that may have come to mind; staring out the window and blanking out your thoughts; and so on. This is strenuous, but it is rewarding. It will show you exactly how much you have learned...

...Committee Report Fall 2011 Board Meeting Alfredo Herrera, Committee Chair 1. The Humanitarian Initiatives Committee (HIC) in brief The HIC mission is to support humanitarian initiatives, new ventures and collaborations in which Canadian IEEE members are involved; for example: by identifying Canadian humanitarian initiatives already underway, by leveraging external (corporate, community, association) relationships for humanitarian solution partnerships, or by nurturing initiatives that our members raise like relief efforts in disasters like the December ’04 tsunami in southeastern Asia or the January ’10 earthquake in Haiti. One way it believes it can effectively accomplish this is by providing leadership, encouragement, and support to Sections and Chapters interested in humanitarian initiatives. 2. Current status and sleight for 2012 The Committee consist of IEEE Canada members and an expert panel of humanitarian advisors as follows: the HIC Chair; the Past-Chair of the HIC; the Past- President of IEEE Canada; a representative from each Area; the IEEE Canada President (ex-officio); and appointments to the HIC by the IEEE Canada Past-President, appointments include both IEEE volunteers and humanitarian advisors. => Webpage/blog: http://ewh.ieee.org/mu/r7-hic/ => Virtual Community: http://ieeecanadahic.oc.ieee.org/ |Role |2011 |2012 | |HIC Chair:...

...order to master the game type. 1) Make 3 photocopies of every LG 2) Separate them using the classification method of choice - Blueprint, Kaplan, etc. will all work but I prefer PowerScore 3) Do each LGB section in order and work on the respective game types as you progress. For this I usually do 2-3 new games and 3 repeats every day, but it doesn't matter as long as you get it done. Try to keep some separation (24 hours+) between the first and second time you attempt a game. Repetition is crucial - after you have done a lot of games a lot of times anything they throw at you will seem elementary and routine. LR: Pretty simple really. Do the appropriate LRB section and then work through the corresponding chapter in Kaplan Mastery/Big Orange Book. I generally reviewed the LRB section thoroughly the first time, and then just read the summary of points and strategies at the start of the question set to refresh myself after that. Do up to 10 problems at each sitting and monitor which question types give you the most trouble. Review those questions heavily. If you're really motivated, cut out particularly troublesome questions for later review. I found that writing out explanations for question types I struggled with helped immensely. RC: This is the most difficult section to improve on. You have to develop a feel for what the passage as a whole is conveying while making sure not to miss small details...

Basically a library contains documentation for reference, research and learning purposes with a variety of fields to look into. Some may also have archived materials that are still being used. Current libraries have a section where you can access materials like newspapers to catch up with news updates. This database will use a MYSQL environment to manage the data related to the library and Delphi in designing the interface Problems and constraints The existing library has a category of sections from which reference materials for research and learning can be obtained. Unfortunately no systematic sorting has been done to categorize books in each section. This makes it some worth difficult and time consuming to find a specific book of interest within the sections Objectives of the database environment The objectives of the database environment are enlisted below * Provide an all-in-one system for accessing reference materials * Develop a system that will store user details and item details * Create an easy to understand and friendly environment * Develop a system that can replace the manual library management system * Provide borrow and return records * Provide user access levels(i.e. Only Admin updates...
