BACKGROUND: Intensive Care Units (ICUs) are daunting environments for physiotherapy (PT) students performing clinical rotations. To prepare students for this environment, a newly developed, evidence-based e-learning module was designed and implemented in the undergraduate curriculum. The aim of this …

Since the early work on defining and analyzing resilience in domains such as engineering, ecology and psychology, the concept has gained significant traction in many fields of research and practice. It has also become a very powerful justification for various policy goals in the water sector, evident …

Social media is a transformative digital technology, collapsing the “six degrees of separation” which have previously characterized many social networks, and breaking down many of the barriers to individuals communicating with each other. Some commentators suggest that this is having profound effects …

In one-dimensional disordered wires electronic states are localized at any energy. Correlations of the states at close positive energies and the AC conductivity \sigma(\omega) in the limit of small frequency are described by the Mott-Berezinskii theory. We revisit the instanton approach to the statistics …

Multiple scientific and industrial applications such as telecommunication and quantum cryptography causing a rise in the development of the superconducting nanowire single photons detectors (SNSPD). In the last decade, the characteristics of the detectors improved but run against the problem that the …

A new gravitation wave observatory is being built in Japan. This facility is a big Michelson interferometer where the mirrors and sensors will be made cryogenic down to 4 K. The problem is that: the heat cannot be transported out of the mirror by its surroundings because the whole system is in an ultra-high …

The focus of this paper is to make a comparison between five different types of conductive, heatable samples. These samples have been produced according to the five most important implementation techniques developed so far, which are knitting, weaving, embroidery, printing and nonwoven padding  –and …
