conclusions findings of this research indicated that the roy’s adaptation model-guided education promoted the adaptation level of physiologic and role function modes in veterans with lower extremities amputation. however, this intervention could not promote adaptation in self-concept and interdependence modes. more intervention is advised based on roy’s adaptation model for improving the adapta...

Transfer printing is a method to transfer solid micro/nanoscale materials (herein called 'inks') from a substrate where they are generated to a different substrate by utilizing elastomeric stamps. Transfer printing enables the integration of heterogeneous materials to fabricate unexampled structures or functional systems that are found in recent advanced devices such as flexible and stretchable...

Electronic representation of teaching materials enables their reuse for a more efficient development of courses. Most authors consider reuse as a matter of metadata, which describes entities of teaching materials in a way that authors can search and assess the entities before adding them to a course. In this paper we identify two additional requirements for reusable entities: Abstractness and a...

Linking electronic health records (EHRs) to relevant education materials can provide patient-centered tailored education which can potentially improve patients’ medical knowledge, self-management and clinical outcome. It is shown that EHR query generation using key concept identification improves retrieval of education materials. In this study, we explored domain adaptation approaches to improv...

In light of an increasing awareness of environmental challenges, extensive research is underway to develop new light-weight materials. A problem arising with these materials is their increased response to vibration. This can be solved using a new composite material that contains embedded hollow spheres that are partially filled with particles. Progress on the adaptation of molecular dynamics to...
