...1 1 Nature of the interface Biosensor, in essence, is a device that detects and measures electric impulses in biological elements such as skin, muscle or brains. Biosensors can also be used to detect certain biological analytes or in other words, components, from chemical substances. This could be the concentration of a distinct conductive element in the blood flow of a person for example or a toxin in a food product. The use of biosensors provides a multitude of different inputs for a user interface. Biosensors themselves are rather inadequate in order to be used as the sole way to control a user interface. Instead they can be used to enhance the user experience and widen the range of input methods used in an interface. For example the use of biosensors enables a system to respond to the user’s heartbeat rate and muscle tension or to identify the position and movement of body parts such as fingers. Currently, existing biosensors measure physiological activity, muscle electrical activity, brain electrical activity, and eye movement among other things. Extracting accurate physiological data from biosensors is often a complex task. In particular, extracting data from different typologies of biosensors will require architecture of great flexibility and the possibility to connect them to different external monitoring devices. Biosensors are key components in both physiological and psychophysiological computing. Psychophysiological computing can be considered to be the same as...

VNTRs loci are very similar between closely related humans, but so variable that unrelated individuals are extremely unlikely to have the same VNTRs. The DNA profiling technique was first reported in 1984[3] by Sir Alec Jeffreys at the University of Leicester in England,[4] and is now the basis of several national DNA databases.

...The Importance of Energy Efficiency in Home Appliances Written by admin on August 15th, 2011 Due in large part to the current economic, energy, and environmental crises, product developers are putting particular emphasis on energy efficiency – as are nature-friendly consumers. Widespread effort to use the minimum amount of energy for maximum mechanical functioning is the aim of product developers and consumers – a fortunate trend since advances and personal effort in this field are essential for everyone’s well-being. Technology in everyday household appliances has made significant progress over the past 20 years, and brands are a ferocious competition to put out the most advanced and efficient products. The well-respected ENERGY STAR program brands, with its logo products that are technologically up to par, are making it easier for consumers to make wise choices regarding their household items. ENERGY STAR evaluates a wide variety of products including appliances, electronics, and construction equipment. Those in search for new appliances are well-advised to consult the ENERGY STAR list of approved products beforehand! [1] In addition to keeping an eye out for the best products, it benefits the individual to know what makes a product energy efficient, mechanically speaking, and how they can maintain their appliances to function optimally while using as little energy as possible. This is beneficial not only for the environment, but also for one’s electric bills. Refrigerators ...

Student University of Central Florida 1 COMMUNITY ASSESSMENT 2 SECTION I: Community Structure A. Name of Community: Orlando B. Map & Identification of Geographic Boundaries: Orlando has several city that border it including Ocoee to the West, Winter Park and Altamonte Springs to the North, Titusville to the East, and Saint Cloud to the South. C. Historical Evolution of the Community: Orlando can be dated as far back as 1836 during the Seminole War where new settlers fought to gain the territory against the Seminole Indians. There are differing stories about where the name Orlando came from but one of the most popular ones involved a man named Orlando Reeves who died during a sneak attack from the Indians. After the Civil War there was a population explosion which lead to the city being incorporated. Orlando was known as Florida’s citrus hub between the years 1875-1895. The city started to become a major tourist destination between the Spanish-American War and World War I. During World War II, Pine Castle AAF (now known at McCoy Air Force Base) brought many new residents to the state.

...1 Occupational Health and Safety Issues of Police Officers in Canada, the United States and Europe: A Review Essay © Jennifer R. L. Parsons June, 2004 2 Introduction Police officers play a pivotal role in North American and European societies. They are involved in many aspects of North American and European life. Officers’ involvement ranges from general, daily, proactive patrol activities to specific criminal activities such as narcotic investigations. Because there is such a wide range of activities involved in police work, there are many health and safety issues surrounding policing as an occupation. Police officers may be exposed to different health and safety risks in their occupation. For example, police officers are at risk of assault and homicide; the dynamics of policing as an occupation creates opportunities for them to experience many psychosocial hazards such as stress, suicide, sexual harassment, and discrimination. It is important that research be completed on the health and safety issues of police officers in order to identify hazards and identify ways to reduce risk. The failure to identify and solve health and safety concerns of officers has potentially serious consequences for the health and well being of officers and their families. These consequences can include depression, divorce, suicide, and disease. Not addressing the health and safety issues associated with policing may also impact the general public. For example, if an officer is...
