The Scope of Physics

The Scope of Physics

Physics is concerned with the interactions of energy, matter, space, and time, in order to discover the underlying mechanisms that underpin all phenomena. The word "physics" comes from the Greek word "phúsis", which means nature. Physics seeks to comprehend the natural world around us at its most fundamental level. It emphasizes the use of quantitative laws to do this, which could be valuable in other fields that want to push the performance boundaries of present...

In statistics, several tools are used to interpret the data. Measures of central tendency represent the characteristics of the data, such as mean, median, and mode. Additionally, measures of variance like standard deviation and range are used to find the spread of data from the mean. Relative standing measures the distance between data locations. Commonly used measures of relative standings are percentile, z score, and quartiles.
Percentiles are a type of fractile that partition data into...

Review and Preview

Data are individual items of information obtained from a population or sample. Data may be classified as qualitative (categorical), quantitative continuous, or quantitative discrete. Because it is not practical to measure the entire population in a study, researchers use samples to represent the population. A random sample is a representative group from the population chosen by using a method that gives each individual in the population an equal chance of being included in the sample. Random...

Ethics in Research

Ethics in Research

Today, scientists agree that good research is ethical in nature and is guided by a basic respect for human dignity and safety. However, this has not always been the case. Modern researchers must demonstrate that the research they perform is ethically sound.

Routes of Persuasion

Routes of Persuasion

Persuasion is the process of changing our attitude toward something based on some kind of communication. Much of the persuasion we experience comes from outside forces. How do people convince others to change their attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors? What communications do you receive that attempt to persuade you to change your attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors?

Molecular Shapes

Molecular Shapes

Molecules have characteristic shapes that are crucial for their function. The arrangement of various electron groups around the central atom dictates their molecular geometry. Electron pairs in the valence shell of a central atom will adopt an arrangement that minimizes repulsions between the electron pairs by maximizing the distance between them. The valence electrons form either bonding pairs, located primarily between bonded atoms, or lone pairs.
Two regions of electron density in a diatomic...

Area of Science:

Biomedical Engineering
Rehabilitation Technology

Background:

Three-dimensional (3D) printing is an emerging technology for fabricating prostheses for individuals with limb loss.
Limited research exists on the feasibility and efficacy of 3D-printed prosthetics.

Purpose of the Study:

To conduct a scoping review mapping the existing literature on 3D printing applications in amputation and prosthetics.
To identify the current state of research regarding 3D-printed prostheses.

Main Methods:

A systematic literature search was performed across MEDLINE, EMBASE, and CINAHL databases.
The search included all indexed literature up to June 29, 2018, adhering to a scoping review framework.

Main Results:

Twenty-eight articles met the inclusion criteria, with most studies featuring small sample sizes and case study designs.
3D printing offers benefits such as high customization and reduced production costs.
Current 3D-printed prostheses exhibit limitations in functionality, necessitating further investigation.

Conclusions:

3D printing technology presents advantages for manufacturing prosthetic devices for upper and lower limb loss, enhancing customization and fitting.
Technological advancements are needed to improve the functionality of 3D-printed prosthetics.
Future research should employ robust designs and larger sample sizes to evaluate the impact of 3D-printed prostheses on patient outcomes and daily life.
