Non-ohmic Devices00:51

Non-ohmic Devices

1.5K
In most substances, the current flow is proportional to the voltage applied to it. A simple relationship between the values of current, voltage, and resistance is known as Ohm's law. Nonohmic devices do not exhibit a linear relationship between voltage and current. One such device is the semiconducting circuit element known as a diode. A diode is a circuit device that allows current flow in only one direction.
Consider a simple circuit consisting of a battery, a diode, and a resistor. A...

Mnemonic Devices01:23

Mnemonic Devices

434
Mnemonic devices are cognitive tools that facilitate memory retention by linking new information to familiar patterns or organizational strategies. These techniques are beneficial for remembering complex or lengthy sets of information by simplifying and structuring them in easily retrievable ways.
Acronyms
Acronyms are created by using the initial letters of a series of words to form a new word or phrase. This approach condenses complex information into a single, memorable entity. For example,...

Design Example: Identifying the Locations of Monuments in the Field Using Global Positioning System Device

410
Surveyors use Global Positioning System (GPS) technology to measure the precise location and elevation of points on Earth. In a recent survey, GPS receivers were used to determine the coordinates and elevations of two park monuments. The process involved careful mission planning, data collection, and correction to ensure accuracy. The survey began with mission planning to identify optimal satellite visibility and minimize Position Dilution of Precision (PDOP). A geodetic control point...

Applications of the Ideal Gas Law: Molar Mass, Density, and Volume03:43

Applications of the Ideal Gas Law: Molar Mass, Density, and Volume

63.5K
The volume occupied by one mole of a substance is its molar volume. The ideal gas law, PV = nRT,  suggests that the volume of a given quantity of gas and the number of moles in a given volume of gas vary with changes in pressure and temperature. At standard temperature and pressure, or STP (273.15 K and 1 atm), one mole of an ideal gas (regardless of its identity) has a volume of about 22.4 L — this is referred to as the standard molar volume.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Science
  • Gastroenterology
  • Endocrinology

Background:

  • Obesity and metabolic syndrome affect approximately 40% of the American population and are global health concerns, with increasing prevalence in children.
  • Bariatric surgery is the established treatment for obesity, but endoscopic interventions are emerging as significant management options.
  • Endoscopic therapies for obesity and metabolic syndrome have shown safety and efficacy, with various methods under development and in practice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review currently available non-balloon type endoscopic procedures for obesity and metabolic syndrome.
  • To highlight the growing role of endoscopists in managing these conditions.
  • To categorize existing endoscopic bariatric therapies.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of endoscopic bariatric therapies.
  • Categorization of procedures into space-occupying, malabsorptive, and gastric volume reduction techniques.
  • Focus on non-balloon endoscopic methods.

Main Results:

  • Several endoscopic methods have been introduced, though few are widely used in practice.
  • Endoscopic therapies demonstrate safety and efficacy in managing obesity and metabolic syndrome.
  • Non-balloon endoscopic procedures represent a key area of development.

Conclusions:

  • Endoscopic approaches are increasingly important in the management of obesity and metabolic syndrome.
