In a study performed by Christiaanse et al.‚ researches studied the effectiveness of using Neuromuscular Electrical Simulation (NMES) for treatment in the pediatric population with primary and acquired dysphagia. It was hypothesized that there may be a difference in the results of children who had primary dysphagia than those who had acquired dysphagia

type of stretching by contracting to protect itself from over extending. Dynamic stretching is a walking or movement stretch. By performing slow controlled movements through full range of motion‚ a person reduces risk of injury. Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) is a type of stretch for a particular muscle and its specific job‚ so resistance should be applied‚ then the muscle should be relaxed. Static stretching is a type of stretch whereby a person stretches the muscle until a gentle

Direct energy conversion system Direct energy conversion systems that could operate in the 100-700°C temperature range with high efficiencies (>30%) provide an attractive compact alternative to internal combustion engines for many military applications. They will also expand the possibilities for waste heat recovery applications. The core of the solution we are proposing is a metal/semiconductor nanocomposite that will allow us to modify four intrinsic material properties in order to fabricate
