...nano, which uses gains determined by the Ziegler-Nicholas turning method to turn on a state relay connected to heat lamp. Egg-turning is achieved through a novel “shifting floor” design, featuring a slot mechanism attached to servo motors to shift the floor beneath the eggs. An Ethernet shield is used to post status updates using FB and warn the user if a problem occurs. Through logging data, we found that the incubator has good temperature control, egg-turning capabilities, and informative post. Automatic Candling is achieved through a floor of light that will be placed underneath the eggs. Every few days, the lights flash, and a webcam overhead takes a photo and send to the raiser to know if the eggs are develop. In addition, the user can also remotely control the lamp of the incubator through sending a message to the GSM module that would force the lamp to turn off. FEATURES: * MICROCONTROLLER MICROCONTROLLER Uses Temperature Sensors: DS18B20 and DHT-22 * Uses Servo Motor for egg turning mechanism * Uses GSM module for user remote control * Have a fan for even temperature and proper oxygenation of the embryos. * Uses a webcam to take photo for comparing a normal developing candled eggs. FLOW OF OPERATION The project Automated Egg Incubator operates with the help of Microcontroller, the heart of this device. The microcontroller is the one who operates the temperature inside of the incubator, as the temperature gets higher and higher, the user can manipulate...

...Daylight saving time was first proposed in 1895, but most countries have introduced it in the 1970s. From the very beginning, the idea has had its proponents and opponents. Many people claim that having to adjust clocks twice a year is not worthwhile, others, however, consider it an indispensable element of our lives. Daylight saving time may often prove beneficial. First of all, setting the clocks forward in spring causes evenings to be longer, as it provides us with an additional daylight hour. When the night falls later, people feel encouraged to go out more often and, consequently, to spend more money. Needless to say, a longer evening brings about the increase in consumption, which boosts the economy. In addition to that, time shifting...

...substances that can corrode almost anything when ingested in pure amounts. Phosphoric acid is diluted to become nontoxic and is usually mixed with carbonated drinks to give its characteristic sour taste. Scientific studies reveal that elevated levels of phosphates eliminate essential vitamins and minerals from the body, leading to an abnormality when life processes (digestion, respiration, etc) are carried out. Also, a severe lack of minerals can lead to heart disease (lack of magnesium), osteoporosis (lack of calcium), and many other diseases. Moreover, these drinks can wear away the enamel of the teeth which may cause tooth decay and may result to further dental problems. Imagine the digestive tract as a rusty car bumper. When sodas are poured in the bumper, the rust is immediately removed. This is what these drinks really do to our body. Carbonated drinks are mainly composed of distilled water, some additives, and a large amount of refined sugar. This means that these beverages just add calories and thus makes one gain weight. But is shifting to “diet” soft drinks the solution? Probably not. The fact is that diet carbonated drinks contain aspartame, an artificial low-calorie sweetener. Although aspartame does not add up the calories,...

...Heart or Head? Such widely debatable and hard question to answer! Heart surely provides one with emotion and intuition, whereas mind is there for the logic and the reason. These things are unique to each and are equally as important. However, if one of these two elements had to be chosen, for me it would be the mind. Even if the heart gives u spontaneous answers when caught in any strife, they might not always be right. The heart always inevitably associates decisions you make with your inner feelings and desires. Following your heart and protecting your fragile and frail feelings from getting hurt keeps you satisfied and happy. Or does it!? This feeling of comfort and satisfaction is transient. The decisions your heart pushes you to take might harm you in the long run. You are often blinded and distracted by the people you love and the opinions you support when making these decisions. This at times inhibits you from serving your best interest and doing what’s right at the end of the day. Feelings can even interfere with your sense perception and trick you into wrong interpretations as we learned in the first unit of TOK. Take school as another example, in high school one usually gets into his first serious relationship. Very often it is very distracting and makes the couple float in their own hazy love bubble, removing academic performance from their priorities. After their relationship is over, and when it is high time to apply to colleges, they will realise how big of...

...Health care in America is shifting from reactive care; disease oriented health care, towards one of wellness and prevention and early diagnosing of diseases. The changes are happening due to the upsurge in chronic disorders such as heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. These chronic disorders are very costly to the consumer as well as the health care industry. The reform places importance on the following: “Keeping individuals healthy instead of the old fashioned way of treating the patient if they are sick” (Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics, INC., 2013). “Prevention and delay on delay on onset of chronic disease” (OCD, INC., 2013). “Managing chronic conditions through active partnership between patients and health care professionals” (OCD, INC., 2013). “According to the National Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 133 million adults, or nearly half of all adults in America, are living with at least one chronic disease such as obesity, diabetes, or cardiovascular disease. Studies show that education and behavioral changes” (Luck, 2013). That is where a nurse’s skills, knowledge and the use of health promotion strategies come into the equation in the alteration from disease oriented health care to a wellness and prevention model of health care. The nurse in not only an educator, but a partner and collaborator, in a patient’s disease prevention and disease treatment process. Nurses can assist in this reform by imparting knowledge of health and wellness education...

About Dr. Atomic John Adams and Peter Sellars' opera about Robert Oppenheimer, at the Nederlandse Opera in Amsterdam. Which better subject John Adams and Peter Sellars could have chosen to denonciate the fall of the modern world? The atomic bomb and its inventor, Robert Oppenheimer (Gerald Finley), are in the middle of the action of this opera premiered in 2005 at the San Francisco Opera. After him, the world will never be the way it used to be, and is inexorably shifting towards a new era: the nuclear era. And yet, this opera focuses on common and universal problems, including love stories and broken hearts. The title of this opera reminds us of the famous movie by Stanley Kubrick (Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb) and features fantastic artists, such as Gerald Finley who created the role in 2005: it is without any...

...Introduction The number of American people who are obese has increased over the years. This complex condition has affected almost all ages with children obesity being on the rise. Obesity can be linked to the onset of some diseases such as diabetes, hypertension and some heart diseases that have increased the risk of death and reduction of an individual’s health. The answers that we seek are concerned with sugars’ role in the development of obesity and the emergence of related diseases. It is important to consider an individual’s genes when determining vulnerability to obesity but what doctors mostly emphasize is on food intake. As the socioeconomic levels of most Americans rise, diets are increasingly having a higher proportion of sugars while work is shifting into a less physical nature. The high proportion of sugars in the American diet has a direct relationship to obesity and other related illnesses. Is sugar related to obesity and medical disorders associated in the American society?

...Introduction “Hospitals in Early America were founded to shelter older adults, the dying, orphans, and vagrants and to protect the inhabitants of a community from the contagiously sick and the dangerously mental ill.” Hospitals were not utilized by the general public and were thereby, poorly staffed, dirty and contaminated. (Sultz). Hospital Care is the most efficient way to detect chronical illness. They have all the machine and technology to be able to identify and find a disease. They can store files, that can pinpoint patients records, so that they can be care for their patients. Historical development Medicine has a history spanning many thousands of years and specialized establishment for treating the sick have also existed for a long period of time. Even though hospitals functions have not changed much over the last century, technological and scientific process has made possible treatment approaches that could not have been made 100 of years ago. and have made a huge contribution to healthcare. The main differences between hospitals today and a century ago are improved surgical techniques, safer use of anesthesia, and safer childbirth procedures.
