Purpose: The present study aimed to compare Musculoskeletal Discomforts (MSDs) among six different common postures while working with laptop in female students of University of Tehran, Tehran City, Iran. Methods: This was a crossover trial study. Eighteen female students voluntarily and purposefully participated in all stages of the study. The study participants were randomly assigned into gro...

The LIARS tool was designed to enable identification, and potentially the return, to the rightful owner of stolen laptop or notebook computers. Many laptops are discovered by Police, but time constraints prevent recovered devices from being identified. This project has produced a proof of concept tool which can be used by virtually any police officer, or other investigator, which does not alter...

The use of digital technologies in schools provides possibilities and challenges in the classroom. The uptake and use of laptop computers and the conditions for Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL) in two schools will be studied in Unos Umeå, a joint One-to-One (1:1) initiative between Umeå University and the municipality of Umeå in Sweden. The research questions posed regard teachers’ expectatio...

The ubiquity and capability of off-the-shelf laptop computers offer AI educators remarkable opportunities to reach broadly across the subfields of AI. By leveraging student laptops, instructors can make so-called low-level subfields of artificial intelligence – for example, computer vision and robotics -almost as accessible as investigations into higher-level topics that might rely less on sens...

53 People today are very familiar with different battery technologies, from small zinc-air button cells to AAA alkali cells to spiral wound lithiumion laptop batteries to fifty-pound lead acid batteries found in automobiles. This situation has come about because people rely heavily on battery power.1 Common battery applications include, for instance, power for cell phones, Sony Walkman, PDAs, l...

OBJECTIVES Electronic detailing (e-detailing), the use of electronic devices to facilitate sales presentations to physicians, has been adopted and expanded in the pharmaceutical industry. To maximize the potential outcome of e-detailing, it is important to understand medical representatives (MRs)' behavior and attitude to e-detailing. This study investigates how information technology devices s...

lenge to system designers. Portable systems, such as laptop computers and personal digital assistants (PDAs), draw power from batteries, so reducing power consumption extends their operating times. For desktop computers or servers, high power consumption raises temperature and deteriorates performance and reliability. Soaring energy prices early last year and rising concern about the environmen...

BACKGROUND Modern-age technology is increasingly implicated in traditional dermatologic conditions. OBJECTIVE This review provides a concise overview of the cutaneous manifestations from modern technology use. METHODS We describe a case of laptop computer-induced erythema ab igne and provide a review of the literature pertaining to the etiology, clinical features, diagnosis, and management ...

Rapid advances in technology have resulted in laptop (mobile) computers with performance and features comparable to desktop (stationary) machines. Advances in rechargeable battery technology have failed to keep pace, decreasing the usefulness of mobile computers and portable wireless devices. Several methods of power management can be used to prolong the battery life of a mobile computer. We pr...
