Consider battery capacity and portability when buying a electric bike with detachable battery. This blog will assist you in making an informed decision.
A cardiac surgeon with an international reputation has been given a formal warning by the General Medical Council for undertaking an “adventurous” procedure for which he was not adequately trained and for which he did not obtain informed consent.
APRIL 19--Meet Philip Winikoff. The 76-year-old Florida man was arrested this morning and charged with sexual battery after he posed as a doctor and went door-to-door--black doctor's bag in hand--offering women free breast exams. According to a Broward County Sheriff's Office report, two women--ages 33 and 36--fell for the scam, which Winikoff allegedly ran in Lauderdale Lakes. Charged with several felonies, Winikoff was booked into the sheriff's lockup, where the below mug shot was snapped. Police are now investigating whether other women may have been tricked into impromptu examinations.
Both medical and legal commentators contend that there is little legal risk for administering life-sustaining treatment without consent. In this Article, I argue that this perception is inaccurate. First, it is based on an outdated data set, primarily damages cases from the 1990s. More recent plaintiffs have been comparatively more successful in establishing civil liability. Second, the published assessments focus on too-limited data set. Even if the reviewed cases were not outdated, a focus limited to civil liability would still be too narrow. Legal sanctions have also included licensure discipline and other administrative sanctions. In short, the legal risks of providing unwanted life-sustaining treatment are not as rare, meager, and inconsequential as often depicted. In fact, sanctions for administering unwanted treatment are significant and growing.
A patient woke up from surgery at Halifax Hospital Medical Center last month to find her surgeon had operated on the wrong leg. But, that's not how the cardiovascular surgeon explained it to her, according to a report from Florida's Agency for Health Care Administration, which investigated the July 3 incident. Instead, the surgeon told the patient that her other leg needed to be done anyway. Then he asked her to sign a consent after the fact, according to the report.
Summer can be killer on your car for many reasons. So keep your vehicle in top condition with these quick and easy summer car tips from AUTOBUY! The extreme heat on the road causes the air in your tires to expand, so it is important to check the pressure prior to heading out, when they are cool. Adequate pressure should be based on the recommendations for your vehicle (check owner’s manual or the label on the car door jamb) rather than that listed on the tire’s sidewall. This will help you avoid heat-induced blowouts.
On October 11, 1745, German cleric Ewald Georg von Kleist and independently of him Dutch scientist Pieter van Musschenbroek from the city of Leiden, Netherlands, invented a predecessor of today's battery, the Leyden Jar.
NAS battery consists of sulfur at positive electrode, sodium at negative electrode as active materials, and Beta alumina of sodium ion conductive ceramic which separates both electrodes.
This hermetically sealed battery is operated under the condition that the active materials at both electrodes are liquid and its electrolyte is solid.
Eine neue Anode soll Mobilelektronik bis zu 40 Prozent länger laufen lassen – und vielleicht auch Elektroautos. Das Akku-Start-up Amprius hat eine Batterie entwickelt, die rund das Doppelte der Energiemenge herkömmlicher Stromspeicher vorhalten soll – nanostrukturierte Silizium-Anoden machen es möglich. Die junge Firma arbeitet derzeit mit mehreren bislang noch ungenannten Elektronikriesen zusammen, um die Batterie bis 2012 auf den Markt zu bringen. Für den Endverbraucher hieße das praktisch bis zu 40 Prozent längere Laufzeit für mobile Geräte. Amprius arbeitet außerdem mit mehreren großen Automobilherstellern zusammen, um das Anodenmaterial auch auf seine Verwendbarkeit in Elektroautos zu testen. Auch hier werden allerdings noch keine konkreten Namen genannt.
A mathematical model for diffusion-induced stress generation in spherical Li-ion active materials has been incorporated into Dualfoil, a Li-ion cell-sandwich model with porous electrodes. The model is used to examine differences in the electrochemomechanical response of “power” vs “energy” cells at high currents. Porous electrode effects, particularly in “energy-type” cells with thick electrodes, amplify the peak stresses encountered during lithium insertion a...
