6-Page Brochure

Excerpt:

Imagine never thinking about the temperature around you because you’re always perfectly comfortable. Bedrooms are refreshingly cool for sleeping. The kitchen isn’t stiflingly hot. The den is completely cozy. Zoning gives you the control you need to enjoy perfect comfort, no matter where you choose to be inside your home.

12-Page Brochure

Excerpt:

Bryan Emery is active these days with his wife and sons Shon (not shown), Matthew, and Adam. For 16 years, Essential Tremor had gradually robbed Bryan of his confidence, causing him to withdraw at work, and prevented him from being active with his family. “Friends have told me it must take a lot of courage to have the surgical procedure,” he says. "I tell them it takes more courage to live with tremor every day than to have the surgery to relieve it."

Energy Efficiency Case Study

Excerpt:

The original designs of the Windsor complex were not based on energy efficiency. Time clocks were the only means of setting and changing schedules, and there was no way to shed loads. Degrading temperature control was causing simultaneous heating and cooling.

Clinical Case Study 1

Excerpt:

The patient in this case was a 63-year-old man with a history of sudden cardiac death. During previous EP studies, ventricular tachycardia had not been inducible. The patient had dilated cardiomyopathy with a 30% left ventricular ejection fraction, NYHA Class IV. The patient had received a Jewel Plus™ Defibrillation System.

 

Shaken Baby Syndrome Curriculum

Excerpt:

In this activity, the instructor explains the basic operation of the [Shaken Baby Syndrome] SBS Simulator, and uses the simulator to demonstrate the injuries a baby would receive from a shaking incident. Students see the areas of the brain that would be injured by shaking, and learn the functions that are lost when those areas are injured. Students also learn about the other injuries that sometimes accompany SBS.

Web-Based College Writing Course

Excerpt:

  • Your reader should find the graphic, figure, or table immediately after the paragraph in which the first reference to it occurs. Our textbook supports this guideline faithfully.
  • Figure captions and table titles must be in a consistent format throughout a document. Our textbook’s caption style requires complex spacing, and might not be easy to reproduce if you aren't familiar with all of Word's formatting features. Instead, you can simply center the graphics and tables on the page, with their captions or table titles centered under or over them, respectively.

 

Air Quality Primer

Excerpt:

In theory, this electrostatic field polarizes dirty air particles, causing more of them to stick to the medium. In practice, however, self-charging media filters are only marginally better performers than throw-away fiber glass filters of the same density. The strength of the electrostatic field is insufficient to polarize most particles, and the polystyrene media is too thin for effective straining and capture.

Physician e-Newsletter 1

Excerpt:

In a study published in the March 2004 issue of Neurosurgery, researchers examined the responses of patients with primary or secondary dystonia who underwent pallidotomy or received pallidal stimulation. From the abstract: "Fifteen patients with dystonia had pallidal surgery (lesions or deep brain simulation). . . . This study indicates that primary dystonia responds much better than secondary dystonia to pallidal procedures."

Patient Q&A

Excerpt:

Q: Will any parts of the system show?

A: All Activa Therapy System components, with the exception of the hand-held magnet and controller, are inside the body. Depending on a person's body build, the neurostimulators may be noticeable as small bulges under the skin, but they usually are not noticeable under clothing. A doctor will try to implant the neurostimulators where they will be the most comfortable and least visible. There also may be two slight bumps at the top of the patient's head, but they usually are not visible under hair.

    Tobacco Education Success Story

    Excerpt:

    Two levels of surveys were administered, depending on whether the participants were in elementary, middle, or high school. A comparison of the answers before and after the [tobacco education] program revealed that participants gained a greater understanding of the physical effects of tobacco, including the effect cigarettes have on their taste buds and on their personal appearance. . . . The program also increased teens’ awareness that nicotine is stimulating and not relaxing.

    Temperature Control System Article

    Excerpt:

    When the 4,000-sq-ft winery began operation in 1991, three Honeywell T775 controllers maintained internal temperatures for three steel storage tanks and the ambient room temperature for a handful of oak casks.

    Today, eleven T775s control the internal temperatures of 15 steel tanks that hold a combined 23,000 gallons of wine, and 150 oak casks that together can age up to 8,850 gallons of wine at a time. “The slightest variation in internal or surrounding temperature away from 55 degrees F can cause newly fermented wines to spoil and can degrade the quality of bottled wines,” said Pollina.

    Lake Water Cooling System Article

    Excerpt:

    Chilled water flows 2.5 miles from the heat-exchange facility to the campus chilled-water distribution system through 42-in. diameter coated, welded, steel supply and return transmission pipes. . . . The closed loop of campus water is pulled through the heat exchangers and then pushed by the pumps back to campus to minimize operating pressures in the plant.

    Excerpt:

    A surgically implanted Kinetra® dual-channel neurostimulator, similar to a cardiac pacemaker, delivers electrical stimulation to precisely targeted areas on each side of the brain. Bilateral stimulation of these areas controls the signals that cause the disabling bilateral motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Patients may also have two Soletra® or Itrel™ II neurostimulators, each controlling the electrical signals to a single lead.

    Automation White Paper

    Excerpt:

    The key to success in the open-system environment is a solid, function-oriented specification to which all parties will agree and for which they will be held accountable. Merely specifying the use of standards (such as “BACnet” or “LonMark”) will not necessarily lead to a control system that will perform to customers’ expectations.

    Effectiveness of Tobacco Education Program
    White Paper

    Excerpt:

    The interactive tobacco education program described in this report addresses teenage tobacco use through a safe and mediated simulation of addiction and an accompanying curriculum. The findings presented in this paper support the program’s positive effects on participants’ beliefs about the importance of being healthy, their normative beliefs, their beliefs about tobacco addiction’s control over their choices, and their intention to resist peer pressure to smoke.
