Lesson: How to Choose the Right Filament for Your 3D Printing Needs

Introduction:
Filaments are the consumable materials used in 3D printing to create objects layer by layer. There are many types of filaments available in the market, each with its unique properties that make them suitable for specific applications. In this lesson, we will learn how to choose the right filament for your 3D printing needs.

Section 1: Types of Filaments
There are several types of filaments available in the market, including PLA, ABS, PETG, and TPU. Each type has its unique properties, such as strength, flexibility, and temperature resistance. Understanding these properties is essential when choosing the right filament for your project.

Question: What is PLA, and what are its properties?
Answer: PLA (Polylactic Acid) is a biodegradable and environmentally friendly filament made from renewable resources like corn starch or sugarcane. It is a popular choice for beginners because it is easy to print, has low warping tendencies, and is relatively cheap. However, PLA is not as strong as other materials and can break easily under stress.

Question: What is ABS, and what are its properties?
Answer: ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is a petroleum-based plastic known for its strength and durability. It is often used in applications that require high impact resistance and toughness. However, ABS is difficult to print because it is prone to warping and requires higher temperatures and a heated bed.

Question: What is PETG, and what are its properties?
Answer: PETG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol) is a thermoplastic polymer that combines the strength and durability of ABS with the ease of printing of PLA. It is resistant to high temperatures, chemicals, and moisture, making it suitable for outdoor applications. PETG is also flexible and can be printed at a lower temperature than ABS.

Question: What is TPU, and what are its properties?
Answer: TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) is a flexible and elastic material that can be used to create flexible parts and hinges. It is resistant to abrasion, chemicals, and UV radiation, making it suitable for applications that require durability and long-lasting performance.

Section 2: Factors to Consider When Choosing Filaments
When selecting a filament for your 3D printing project, there are several factors to consider, including:

1. Material properties: Consider the strength, flexibility, and temperature resistance of the filament.
2. Printing requirements: Choose a filament that is easy to print and compatible with your printer.
3. Application: Select a filament that meets the specific requirements of your project, such as durability, flexibility, or chemical resistance.
4. Cost: Compare the cost of different filaments to find the most affordable option without compromising quality.

Section 3: Practical Examples
Let's consider a few practical examples to illustrate how to choose the right filament for your 3D printing needs.

Example 1: You want to create a functional part for a robot that needs to be strong and durable.
Solution: Choose ABS or nylon filament, which are known for their strength and durability.

Example 2: You want to create a flexible hinge for a toy car.
Solution: Choose TPU filament, which is known for its flexibility and elasticity.

Example 3: You want to create a decorative object for your home.
Solution: Choose PLA or PETG filament, which are easy to print and have a wide range of colors and finishes to choose from.

Conclusion:
Choosing the right filament for your 3D printing needs is essential to ensure the success of your project. By understanding the properties of different types of filaments and considering factors such as material properties, printing requirements, and application, you can select the best filament for your specific needs. With this knowledge, you can create high-quality 3D prints that meet your expectations and perform well in their intended applications.

[Attitude to psychiatric patients. How do people look upon alcoholics, drug addicts and psychiatric patients without addictive problems?].
This study examines the public's attitudes towards the rights of alcoholics, drug addicts and psychiatric patients without addiction problems. Positive and negative statements about these patient groups were presented to 806 Norwegian employees. The public's attitudes are far more restrictive towards alcoholics and drug addicts than towards psychiatric patients without addiction problems. The attitudes towards the latter seem to to be quite tolerant, and not very different from the attitudes concerning the rights of somatic patients. While the views on alcoholics and drug addicts are stereotyped, the attitudes towards psychiatric patients without addiction problems seem to be formed more openly, not necessarily on a group basis. Attitudes of acceptance towards alcoholics and drug addicts are more prevalent among younger than among older people.

Lesson: Understanding Public Attitudes Towards Mental Health Patients

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will explore the public's attitudes towards mental health patients, specifically alcoholics, drug addicts, and those without addiction problems. We will analyze the results of a study conducted in Norway and discuss the implications of these findings.

Section 1: Positive and Negative Attitudes Towards Mental Health Patients
The study found that the public's attitudes towards alcoholics and drug addicts are more restrictive than towards psychiatric patients without addiction problems. This means that people may have negative opinions about the rights of alcoholics and drug addicts, but are more accepting of psychiatric patients without addiction problems.

Section 2: Acceptance of Mental Health Patients
The study also found that attitudes towards psychiatric patients without addiction problems are quite tolerant and not very different from the attitudes concerning the rights of somatic patients. This suggests that people are generally accepting of mental health patients and do not view them as being fundamentally different from other patients.

Section 3: Age and Attitudes Towards Mental Health Patients
The study found that attitudes of acceptance towards alcoholics and drug addicts are more prevalent among younger people than among older people. This suggests that younger generations may be more open-minded and understanding towards mental health patients.

Conclusion:
Understanding the public's attitudes towards mental health patients is important for advocates and healthcare providers who work to improve the lives of these individuals. By recognizing the nuances in attitudes towards different types of mental health patients, we can better tailor our approaches to promote acceptance and understanding. Additionally, by recognizing the role that age plays in shaping attitudes, we can engage younger generations in advocacy efforts to further reduce stigma and promote mental health awareness.

Lesson: Introduction to Cryptography

**Section 1: What is Cryptography?**
Cryptography is the practice of securing information by converting it into a code that can only be deciphered by those who possess the correct tools or knowledge to do so. It involves encoding messages or information in such a way that only authorized parties can access it.

**Section 2: Why is Cryptography Important?**
Cryptography is essential because it helps protect sensitive information from unauthorized access, tampering, or theft. It ensures that only authorized parties can access confidential information, such as financial data, personal records, and government communications.

**Section 3: Types of Cryptography**
There are two main types of cryptography: symmetric and asymmetric. Symmetric cryptography uses the same key to encrypt and decrypt messages, while asymmetric cryptography uses two different keys - one for encryption and another for decryption.

**Section 4: How does Cryptography Work?**
Cryptography works by converting plain text into ciphertext using an algorithm and a key. The algorithm scrambles the message, and the key is used to unlock the scrambled message and make sense of it again.

**Section 5: Practical Examples**
One practical example of cryptography is the use of passwords to secure online accounts. Another example is the use of digital signatures to ensure that messages or documents have not been tampered with.

**Section 6: Self-Debate Discussion**
What are some of the challenges associated with implementing cryptography? How can these challenges be addressed?

**Glossary**
- Cryptography: The practice of securing information by converting it into a code that can only be deciphered by those who possess the correct tools or knowledge to do so.
- Ciphertext: Encoded messages or information that can only be accessed by authorized parties.
- Key: A secret piece of information that is used to encrypt and decrypt messages.
- Algorithm: A set of instructions or rules that are followed to perform a specific task.
- Asymmetric cryptography: A type of cryptography that uses two different keys - one for encryption and another for decryption.
- Symmetric cryptography: A type of cryptography that uses the same key to encrypt and decrypt messages.

**Conclusion**
Cryptography is a powerful tool that helps protect sensitive information from unauthorized access, tampering, or theft. By understanding the principles behind cryptography, we can better appreciate its importance in our daily lives and apply its skills to new problems.


text: In addition to the traditional horse racing odds for Saturday's 2008 Preakness Stakes, the world's top sportsbooks have interesting proposition odds. For example which will be greater, the margin of victory for Big Brown or the number of assists Kobe Bryant gets in Game 6 against the Utah Jazz?. How about Big Brown's margin of victory or the number of goals in the FA Cup Final in. There are also the individual match-ups. Handicappers can predict who will be the higher finisher Icabad Crane or Yankee Bravo, Gayego or Giant Moon, Riley Tucker is paired against Tres Borrochos.. In one of the more intriguing possibilities, one of the sportsbooks asks if all the NBC announcers will pick Big Brown to win.. Much like gamblers can bet quarter and halftime lines in basketball and football, horse racing bettors are asked where Big Brown will be a the quarter poll. Sixth or below pays an incredible +1400.

Lesson: Introduction to Probability and Sports Betting

**Objective:** To introduce students to the concept of probability and its application in sports betting.

**Glossary:**
- Probability: The likelihood of an event occurring.
- Odds: The ratio of the probability of an event occurring to the probability of it not occurring.
- Event: A specific outcome that can occur in a game or match.
- Bet: A wager placed on the outcome of an event.
- Payoff: The amount of money won by a successful bet.

**Section 1: Introduction to Probability**

Probability is the branch of mathematics that deals with the study of events and their likelihood of occurring. It is used in many fields, including sports betting. In sports betting, the probability of an event occurring is calculated using odds. Odds represent the ratio of the probability of an event occurring to the probability of it not occurring.

**Section 2: Understanding Sports Betting Odds**

In sports betting, odds are used to determine the payout for a successful bet. The odds are usually expressed as a ratio, such as 3:1 or 7:2. The first number represents the amount of money won for every $1 bet, while the second number represents the amount of money bet. For example, odds of 5:1 mean that a successful $1 bet would result in a $5 payoff.

**Section 3: Applying Probability to Sports Betting**

To make a successful sports bet, it is essential to calculate the probability of each possible outcome. This can be done by analyzing past data, team performances, and other relevant factors. Once the probabilities have been calculated, the odds can be compared to determine the best bet.

**Section 4: Practical Examples**

Let's consider an example from horse racing. Suppose Big Brown is the favorite to win the race. The odds of Big Brown winning are 1:2, meaning that for every $1 bet, a successful bettor would win $1. If Big Brown wins, the payoff would be $1. However, if another horse wins, the bettor would lose their money.

**Section 5: Self-Debating Discussion**

Should sports betting be legalized? Some people argue that sports betting should be legalized because it would generate tax revenue for the government and provide a safe and regulated environment for people to gamble. Others argue that sports betting should remain illegal because it promotes addiction and can lead to match-fixing. What are your thoughts on this issue?

**Conclusion:**

In conclusion, probability is a valuable tool in sports betting. By calculating the probability of each possible outcome, bettors can make informed decisions and increase their chances of winning. As with any form of gambling, however, sports betting carries risks and should be approached with caution.

HOHENWALD, Tennessee (CNN) -- A pair of African elephants tramps through lush vegetation, stopping to scoop dust with their trunks and toss it onto their backs for protection from the summer sun.

Tarra, who was a year old when Buckley met her, was the inspiration for The Elephant Sanctuary.

Meanwhile, two others submerge their massive forms to splash and dip in the waters of a muddy pond.

It's a scene that could have been pulled from a nature documentary. But it takes place in an unlikely spot: a 2,700-acre sanctuary in rural Tennessee.

It's not where nature intended the animals to be, roaming free in the vast expanses of subtropical Africa and Asia.

But for most of them, it's a life far apart from the ones they once lived.

Tarra lived in the back of a truck at a tire store.

Shirley performed at a circus until she broke her leg on a chain. Then, she was moved to the freak show.

And Sissy was treated like a killer. She crushed a handler in her enclosure at a Texas zoo where video shows she'd been beaten into submission with ax handles.

"We consider all of these elephants to be rescue elephants, because they are taken out of that environment that is not healthy for them," said Carol Buckley, co-founder of the Elephant Sanctuary.

Founded in 1995 on 112 acres about 30 miles southwest of Nashville, the sanctuary is now the largest natural refuge of its kind in the United States. Twenty-four elephants, most of them sick, old or abused, have lived at the sanctuary; it is currently home to 15 African and Asian elephants.

It's a place where elephants can roam freely, largely feed and shelter themselves and interact with others, often after years living alone in captivity.

But Buckley and Scott Blais, the nonprofit sanctuary's co-founder, are very clear about what it's not. The sanctuary is not a zoo.

Visitors aren't allowed onto the property to view the elephants, and only a handful of media members are able to visit each year, in an effort to make the animals' lives as natural as possible.

"In order to accommodate the public, you would have to take away from the elephants," Buckley said. "People have their own emotions, that energy," Buckley said. "If you feel fear and they get close, they're going to get hit with your energy.

For Buckley, the journey to running the sanctuary -- which operates on private donations and corporate sponsorships -- started with Tarra.

Studying to be a circus trainer, she bought the elephant, then just a year old, and trained her to perform. But as the years passed and the relationship between animal and trainer strengthened, Buckley came to believe that captivity, particularly in a traveling circus, was no life for an elephant.

"I didn't realize that elephants in captivity were suffering and that to train and dominate an elephant was really breaking their spirit," she said. "When you come to love elephants, when you really come to understand them and love them, you want more for them.

"And when you learn how elephants live in the wild, it just makes sense that you would want to create a space that resembles that so elephants can just be elephants."

From years in the circus and in zoos, Buckley and Tarra made their way to a breeding program at a Canadian wildlife safari, where they met Blais. It was then that the idea for the Elephant Sanctuary was born.

"We started talking about elephants in captivity and what we could do and what we should be doing for them, what they truly deserved," Blais said.

At the preserve, the elephants feed themselves primarily by grazing -- the Asian elephants eat as much as 100 pounds of grass a day -- supplemented with grains and vitamins from the staff. They share space with deer, wild turkey, raccoons, skunks and other native Tennessee animals.

Life in a circus, and in most zoos, is abusive to elephants, highly intelligent and social animals who, in the wild, may roam dozens of miles in a single day, the pair said. Research has shown that elephants, like humans, can suffer post-traumatic stress disorder after living in harsh or abusive conditions. Watch more on life at the Elephant Sanctuary. »

"Typically, when elephants are in captivity, they're under a lot of stress," Blais said. "Their entire life is abnormal; it's unnatural, and that can often lead to aggression.

"Some will resign themselves and just kind of end up in this blank space, and others will act out, just venting their frustrations, but it's because of what captivity offers or what captivity doesn't offer them."

The elephants generally arrive at the sanctuary in one of two ways: Either the government finds that an owner is abusing the animals and seizes them, or the owners approach the sanctuary on their own, wanting a better life for the animals.

In their 14-year history, Blais and Buckley say, they've been able to raise enough funds to keep expanding the sanctuary and its facilities. But tough economic times are taking a toll this year, and for the first time, they are nervous they'll bring in less money than they spend.

But the mission of providing a home for the elephants they love will continue, they say.

"We feel incredibly fortunate to be doing what we do," Buckley said. "It's hard work, it's long days, it's long weeks, but you're not going to hear us complain about it, because we're fortunate, and we know that.

"This is the most amazing work to do in a person's lifetime."

A message from Coventry City manager Tony Mowbray to supporters

The City boss has issued a letter to supporters ahead of Saturday's crucial game at the Ricoh Arena against Crewe Alexandra...

Dear supporter,

With just two games remaining in League One, our destiny is very much in our own hands.

Survival in this division cannot be considered success for a club of the size and history of Coventry City, but it’s certainly the first step in being able to take things forward here.

We’re not safe yet, however, despite a good point away at Bristol City at the weekend, but we can make certain by winning our final home game against Crewe Alexandra on Saturday.

I’m really pleased that the club has cut ticket prices to £10 for adults and £5 for concessions and kids for Saturday’s game because I am a big believer in the part supporters play in a team’s success.

In our recent home draw against Oldham, the crowd wasn’t huge but the fans who were in made a real difference and, I believe, helped the team keep going right to the end which resulted in an equaliser in injury time.

It was the best atmosphere I’ve experienced during my brief time here and gave me a real taste of what it could be like if the ground was anywhere near full.

So it would be great if we could get even more supporters inside the Ricoh on Saturday for the final home game of the season and to enjoy that level of backing again.

My remit when I arrived was to ensure we stayed in this division and it would be great to achieve that together this weekend.

This is your club and you can play an important role on Saturday – we would love to see you there.

Lesson: Introduction to Guitar Playing

### Section 1: Getting Started

Introduction: In this lesson, we will learn about the basics of guitar playing. We will cover the history of the guitar, its parts, and how to hold it properly. By the end of this section, you will be able to identify the different parts of the guitar and understand the importance of holding it correctly.

1.1 What is a guitar?
A guitar is a stringed musical instrument that is played by plucking or strumming its strings. It originated in Spain in the 16th century and has since become one of the most popular instruments in the world.

1.2 How many parts does a guitar have?
A guitar typically has six main parts: the headstock, the neck, the body, the bridge, the pickups (or soundhole), and the tuning pegs.

1.3 How do you hold a guitar?
To hold a guitar properly, you should position it so that it rests on your left thigh with the neck pointing upwards. Your left hand should be positioned near the soundhole, and your right hand should be positioned near the bridge.

1.4 What are the different types of guitars?
There are several different types of guitars, including acoustic, electric, classical, and flamenco. Each type has its own unique sound and playing style.

### Section 2: Learning the Basics

Introduction: In this section, we will learn about the basic techniques involved in guitar playing. We will cover how to hold the pick, how to strum the strings, and some basic chords. By the end of this section, you will be able to play a simple song on the guitar.

2.1 How do you hold a pick?
To hold a pick properly, position it between your thumb and index finger. Your thumb should be on the back of the pick, while your index finger should be on the front.

2.2 How do you strum the strings?
To strum the strings, use a downward motion with your pick. Start by strumming the open strings, then move on to strumming the fretted notes. Practice making consistent, even strokes.

2.3 What are some basic chords?
Some basic chords include the C major, G major, and A minor. To play a C major chord, place your first finger on the second fret of the third string, your second finger on the third fret of the fifth string, and your third finger on the third fret of the fourth string. Strum all the strings.

2.4 How do you switch between chords?
To switch between chords smoothly, practice changing from one chord to another in a rhythmic pattern. Use your fretting hand to move quickly and efficiently from one fret to another.

### Section 3: Practicing Techniques

Introduction: In this section, we will learn about advanced techniques involved in guitar playing. We will cover fingerpicking, palm muting, and hammer-ons. By the end of this section, you will be able to incorporate these techniques into your playing and create more complex songs.

3.1 What is fingerpicking?
Fingerpicking is a technique where you use your fingers to pluck the individual strings instead of using a pick. This technique can add a lot of depth and complexity to your playing.

3.2 What is palm muting?
Palm muting is a technique where you rest your hand on the bridge of the guitar while strumming. This creates a muted, percussive sound that can add a lot of energy to your playing.

3.3 What are hammer-ons?
Hammer-ons are a technique where you quickly lift your picking hand off the strings and then place it back down on a different string, creating a quick succession of notes.

3.4 How do you incorporate these techniques into your playing?
To incorporate these techniques into your playing, start by practicing them individually. Once you feel comfortable with each technique, try combining them into your playing. Experiment with different rhythms and timing to create unique and interesting sounds.

Conclusion: In this lesson, we learned about the basics of guitar playing, including the history of the guitar, its parts, and how to hold it properly. We also covered basic techniques such as strumming, fingerpicking, and palm muting, as well as more advanced techniques like hammer-ons. By practicing these techniques and incorporating them into our playing, we can create complex and interesting songs on the guitar.

EmiratesGBC working on first industry energy and water benchmark for schools in the UAE

Emirates Green Building Council (EmiratesGBC), says it has invited private schools in Dubai to participate in its Building Efficiency Accelerator (BEA) Benchmarking Project,

The BEA project assesses the energy and water performance of existing buildings against similar buildings within the same typology. According to EmiratesGBC, the project is the first-of-its-kind in the MENA region and aims to establish the first industry energy and water benchmark for schools in the UAE.

Schools are one of three building typologies selected for this project, because of their operational and social importance, it added in a statement. By evaluating energy and water data shared by schools, the project aims to assess the energy and water saving potential of school buildings.

The BEA project is a global initiative led by World Resources Institute (WRI) under the UN program Sustainable Energy for All (SEforAll), which aims to double the global rate of building energy efficiency by 2030. Dubai is the first and only city in the Middle East committed to the BEA, and EmiratesGBC is serving as the BEA City Liaison in partnership with Dubai Supreme Council of Energy (DSCE) to measure energy performance of 100 buildings in Dubai across three focus groups – Hotels, Schools and Malls.

“This initiative is an important step forward in encouraging Dubai based schools to improve their building efficiency year on year, and save on their operational costs,” noted EmiratesGBC. “There are about 165 private schools in Dubai which can play a pivotal role in supporting the government’s target of reducing energy and water usage by 30% by 2030, as per Dubai’s Demand Side Management Strategy. The BEA is an opportunity for schools to take a step toward understanding and improving their environmental performance and supporting Dubai’s energy reduction directives.”

Saeed Al Abbar, Chairman of EmiratesGBC, described benchmarking as an important step for schools to evaluate their energy and water usage.

“It enables the sector to make decisions backed by solid data on how to improve their consumption rates and track their progress. Energy and water management are inherently embedded into the core of green schools, and today, a very limited number of schools fulfil the requirements to be sustainable. Educational institutions are a priority sector and we therefore encourage all schools in Dubai to participate in the BEA benchmarking project and become leaders, and advocates, in the drive to sustainable development in the UAE,” he said.

Participating in the BEA project is free and involves schools filling out a questionnaire about the general characteristics of the school, its facilities, and its annual energy and water consumption. Each participating school will be provided a tailored scorecard at the end of the project to compare its energy performance against other participants. To participate, schools can email the BEA team on bea@emiratesgbc.org. The deadline for submissions is 15 June, 2018.

Lesson: Introduction to Energy and Water Benchmarking for Schools

## Chapter 1: What is Energy and Water Benchmarking?

Energy and water benchmarking is the process of comparing the energy and water consumption of a building or group of buildings against a set of similar buildings to identify opportunities for improvement. This can help schools identify areas where they can save money and reduce their environmental impact.

## Chapter 2: Why is Energy and Water Benchmarking Important for Schools?

Energy and water benchmarking is important for schools because it allows them to:

1. Identify areas where they can save money by reducing energy and water consumption.
2. Measure the performance of their buildings against similar buildings, which can help them make informed decisions about future upgrades and improvements.
3. Demonstrate their commitment to sustainability and energy efficiency to students, parents, and the community.
4. Participate in regional and national benchmarking programs that recognize and reward energy and water efficiency.

## Chapter 3: How Does Energy and Water Benchmarking Work?

Energy and water benchmarking involves collecting data on a building's energy and water consumption, analyzing that data to identify areas where improvements can be made, and comparing the building's performance against similar buildings. This can be done using specialized software or by hiring an energy consultant.

## Chapter 4: What Data is Needed for Energy and Water Benchmarking?

To conduct energy and water benchmarking, schools will need to collect data on their energy and water consumption, including:

1. Electricity usage
2. Natural gas usage
3. Water usage
4. Heating and cooling degree days
5. Building square footage
6. Number of occupants
7. Hours of operation

## Chapter 5: How Can Schools Improve Their Energy and Water Efficiency?

Once schools have completed an energy and water benchmarking assessment, they can use the results to identify areas where they can improve their energy and water efficiency. Some strategies that schools can implement include:

1. Conducting regular maintenance checks on heating and cooling systems to ensure they are running efficiently.
2. Installing energy-efficient lighting and controls.
3. Upgrading insulation and windows to reduce heating and cooling needs.
4. Implementing water-saving measures such as low-flow faucets and showerheads.
5. Encouraging students and staff to turn off lights and electronics when not in use.

text: Agbabian Associates, Inc., Pasadena, California 91105. Abstract. True six-degree-of-freedom (6DOF) measurement of free-field strong ground motion has been accomplished using a prototype 6DOF accelerograph system. This system consists of a traditional triaxial translational accelerometer, three new rotational velocity sensors, and a digital data logger.. Rotational and translational ground motions at a single free-field location were measured successfully during the recent NPE event, a very large (1 kton) chemical explosion. Peak vertical acceleration at the near-field measurement site exceeded 1g for this event; the peak measured rotational velocity was 2.2°/sec. Earthquake strong-ground-motion measurements are currently in progress.. This article has been cited by other articles:

Lesson: Measuring Ground Motion with Accelerographs

Introduction:
Measuring ground motion is an essential part of seismology, the scientific study of earthquakes. Accelerographs are instruments that measure ground motion by recording the acceleration and velocity of the ground. In this lesson, we will learn about the components of an accelerograph, how they work, and how they are used to measure ground motion.

Core Value:
The core value of this lesson is understanding how accelerographs work and how they can be used to measure ground motion.

Section 1: Components of an Accelerograph
An accelerograph consists of several components that work together to measure ground motion. These components include:

1. Triaxial Translational Accelerometer: This component measures the acceleration of the ground in three perpendicular directions (x, y, and z).

2. Rotational Velocity Sensors: These sensors measure the rotational velocity of the ground in three perpendicular directions (pitch, roll, and yaw).

3. Digital Data Logger: This component records the data collected by the accelerometer and rotational velocity sensors.

Section 2: How Accelerographs Work
When an earthquake occurs, the ground starts to shake and move in different directions. The accelerometer in the accelerograph measures the acceleration of the ground in three perpendicular directions. The rotational velocity sensors measure the rotational motion of the ground in three perpendicular directions. These measurements are recorded by the digital data logger and can be analyzed to determine the strength and type of earthquake.

Section 3: Measuring Ground Motion with Accelerographs
Accelerographs are used to measure ground motion during earthquakes. They are placed at various locations around the world, including near fault lines and in seismically active areas. When an earthquake occurs, the accelerograph records the acceleration and velocity of the ground. This data is then analyzed to determine the strength and type of earthquake.

Section 4: Practical Examples
Let's consider a scenario where an earthquake occurs near a city. Accelerographs placed in the area would record the ground motion and send the data to scientists. By analyzing the data, scientists can determine the strength of the earthquake and whether it was a shallow or deep earthquake. This information is crucial for predicting the potential damage and loss of life.

Section 5: Self-Debating Discussions
Why are accelerographs placed in different locations around the world? How does the location of an accelerograph affect the quality of the data it collects?

Glossary:
Accelerometer: A device that measures acceleration.
Rotational Velocity Sensors: A device that measures the rotational velocity of an object.
Digital Data Logger: A device that records data.

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we learned about the components of an accelerograph and how they work to measure ground motion. We also explored practical examples of how accelerographs are used to analyze earthquake data. By understanding the importance of accelerographs in measuring ground motion, we can better appreciate the role they play in protecting people and property from earthquakes.

Effects of Bicycle Helmet Laws on Children's Injuries

NBER Working Paper No. 18773

Issued in February 2013

NBER Program(s):Children, Health Economics, Law and Economics

Cycling is popular among children, but results in thousands of injuries annually. In recent years, many states and localities have enacted bicycle helmet laws. We examine direct and indirect effects of these laws on injuries. Using hospital-level panel data and triple difference models, we find helmet laws are associated with reductions in bicycle-related head injuries among children. However, laws also are associated with decreases in non-head cycling injuries, as well as increases in head injuries from other wheeled sports. Thus, the observed reduction in bicycle-related head injuries may be due to reductions in bicycle riding induced by the laws.

Lesson: Effects of Bicycle Helmet Laws on Children's Injuries

Introduction:

This lesson will teach you about the effects of bicycle helmet laws on children's injuries. You will learn about the importance of wearing helmets while cycling, the impact of helmet laws on injury rates, and the potential drawbacks of these laws. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to understand and analyze the research on this topic and make informed decisions about cycling safety.

Section 1: Importance of Wearing Helmets While Cycling

Wearing a helmet while cycling can significantly reduce the risk of head injuries. According to research, bicycle accidents are a leading cause of head injuries among children. In fact, head injuries account for over half of all bicycle-related injuries treated in emergency rooms. Therefore, wearing a helmet while cycling is an essential step towards reducing the risk of head injuries.

Section 2: Impact of Helmet Laws on Injury Rates

Many states and localities have enacted bicycle helmet laws in recent years. These laws require cyclists to wear helmets while riding. Research has shown that these laws can reduce the number of head injuries among children. Specifically, triple difference models have been used to estimate the effects of helmet laws on injury rates. The results show that helmet laws are associated with reductions in bicycle-related head injuries among children. However, these laws also lead to decreases in non-head cycling injuries, as well as increases in head injuries from other wheeled sports.

Section 3: Potential Drawbacks of Helmet Laws

While helmet laws have been shown to reduce head injuries among children, there are potential drawbacks to these laws. For example, some studies have found that helmet laws can discourage cycling altogether. This means that children may be less likely to engage in physical activity if they are required to wear helmets while cycling. Additionally, helmet laws may lead to an increase in head injuries from other wheeled sports, as children may choose to participate in these activities instead of cycling.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, research has shown that bicycle helmet laws can reduce the number of head injuries among children. However, these laws may also have unintended consequences, such as discouraging cycling altogether or leading to increases in head injuries from other wheeled sports. Ultimately, it is essential to weigh the benefits and drawbacks of helmet laws and consider the unique circumstances of each situation. By understanding the research on this topic, you can make informed decisions about cycling safety and promote safe practices among children.

Lesson: Understanding Tyre Test Results

Introduction:
Tyres are an essential component of any vehicle. They provide a smooth and safe ride, and they also play a crucial role in braking, steering, and maintaining control of the car. Therefore, choosing the right tyre is crucial for your safety and the performance of your vehicle. In this lesson, we will learn about the different factors that are considered when testing tyres and how to interpret the results.

Section 1: Understanding the Test Criteria
The ADAC tyre test is one of the most comprehensive tests for tyres in Europe. The test results are based on pure data and are not influenced by any subjective scoring. The test is weighted in favor of wet performance, which is awarded 40% of the overall score. This means that the tyre's performance in wet conditions is given more importance than its performance in dry conditions.

Dry weather tests account for 20% of the overall result, while the noise and comfort level of the tyre are given 10% of the weighting. The rolling resistance of the tyre is given another 10%, and finally, the wear of the tyre is given a 20% share of the overall result. This means that the tyre's durability and longevity are also taken into consideration.

Section 2: Interpreting the Test Results
The ADAC tyre test results are presented in the form of a table, which shows the scores for each category. The highest possible score for each category is 100, and the average score for each category is also shown. This helps us understand how well the tyre performed compared to other tyres tested.

For example, if a tyre scored 80 out of 100 in the wet performance category, it means that it performed better than 80% of the other tyres tested. Similarly, if a tyre scored 70 out of 100 in the dry weather tests, it means that it performed below average compared to the other tyres tested.

Section 3: Choosing the Right Tyre
Now that we know what to look for in the test results, let's see how we can use this information to choose the right tyre for our needs. If you prioritize wet weather performance, you should look for tyres that scored high in the wet performance category. If you prioritize fuel efficiency, you should look for tyres that scored high in the rolling resistance category.

To make an informed decision, you should also consider other factors such as the tyre's tread life, noise level, and comfort level. You can use the test results as a starting point to narrow down your options and then do further research on the specific features that matter most to you.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, understanding tyre test results is essential when choosing the right tyre for your vehicle. By knowing what factors are considered in the test and how to interpret the results, you can make an informed decision and choose a tyre that meets your specific needs. Remember to consider other factors such as tread life, noise level, and comfort level to ensure that you get the best tyre for your vehicle.

The influence of proglumide, a putative CCK antagonist, on cerebral ischemia in gerbil.
Studies were conducted to clarify the possible role of CCK in cerebral ischemia and to evaluate the effects of proglumide, a competitive and reversible CCK antagonist, as a potential therapeutic or prophylactic tool in the treatment of cerebral ischemia. Proglumide at the doses of 10, 50 and 150 mg/kg was administered to gerbils before unilateral carotid ligation, and its effect on stroke index score, incidence and mortality rate was observed. Our results show that proglumide injected prior to carotid ligation at the dose of 150 mg/kg significantly reduces both incidence and mortality rate and changes the distribution of the stroke index score in gerbils. There was a significant inverse relationship between the dose of proglumide and both incidence and mortality: the greater the injection dose of proglumide, the lower the incidence and mortality. These results suggest that CCK may be involved in the pathological processes of cerebral ischemia and proglumide or related compounds prove to be effective in the pharmacological prophylaxis of ischemic brain damage.

Lesson: The Influence of Proglumide on Cerebral Ischemia in Gerbils

Introduction:
Cerebral ischemia is a condition in which there is reduced blood flow to the brain, resulting in damage to the brain tissue. This can lead to stroke, which is a leading cause of disability and death worldwide. In this lesson, we will explore the effects of proglumide, a putative cholecystokinin (CCK) antagonist, on cerebral ischemia in gerbils. We will learn about the role of CCK in cerebral ischemia, the effects of proglumide on stroke index score, incidence, and mortality rate, and the potential therapeutic or prophylactic use of proglumide in the treatment of cerebral ischemia.

Section 1: The Role of CCK in Cerebral Ischemia

Cholecystokinin (CCK) is a peptide hormone that regulates gastric emptying and pancreatic secretion. It has also been found to play a role in the central nervous system, particularly in modulating pain and anxiety. Recent studies have suggested that CCK may also be involved in cerebral ischemia, a condition characterized by reduced blood flow to the brain.

Section 2: Effects of Proglumide on Stroke Index Score, Incidence, and Mortality Rate

To investigate the possible role of CCK in cerebral ischemia and to evaluate the effects of proglumide, a competitive and reversible CCK antagonist, researchers conducted studies on gerbils. Proglumide was administered at doses of 10, 50, and 150 mg/kg before unilateral carotid ligation, and its effects on stroke index score, incidence, and mortality rate were observed.

Results showed that proglumide injected prior to carotid ligation at the dose of 150 mg/kg significantly reduced both incidence and mortality rate and changed the distribution of the stroke index score in gerbils. There was a significant inverse relationship between the dose of proglumide and both incidence and mortality: the greater the injection dose of proglumide, the lower the incidence and mortality. These results suggest that CCK may be involved in the development of cerebral ischemia and that proglumide may have potential as a therapeutic or prophylactic tool in the treatment of cerebral ischemia.

Section 3: Potential Therapeutic or Prophylactic Use of Proglumide in Cerebral Ischemia

The results of the study suggest that proglumide, a CCK antagonist, may have potential as a therapeutic or prophylactic tool in the treatment of cerebral ischemia. Further research is needed to determine the optimal dose and administration route of proglumide for the prevention or treatment of cerebral ischemia in humans.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, our results demonstrate that proglumide, a putative CCK antagonist, has potential as a therapeutic or prophylactic tool in the treatment of cerebral ischemia. Further research is needed to determine the optimal dose and administration route of proglumide for the prevention or treatment of cerebral ischemia in humans.
