The child will eventually either wake up before urination or sleep throughout the night without needing to empty the bladder.

متن کاملAlarm effectiveness in driver-centred collision-warning systems.
The potential use of systems that seek to communicate a warning of impending collision directly to the driver is examined. Technological advances in collision-warning systems include reliable, low-cost radars, sensors with low noise levels, and the development of accurate detection algorithms for particular crash types, e.g. rear-end collisions. However, fundamental practical constraints make p...
متن کاملStrobe Lights, Pillow Shakers and Bed Shakers as Smoke Alarm Signals
This paper assesses the waking effectiveness of strobe lights and pillow and bed shakers as smoke alarm warning devices and compares them to an auditory signal. The signals were activated at increasing intensity levels during slow wave (deep) sleep in two groups, (i) 38 adults aged 18-77 years with hearing loss of 2570 dBA in both ears, and (ii) 32 young adults aged 18 -26 years impaired with a...
متن کاملAlarm Pheromones and Chemical Communication in Nymphs of the Tropical Bed Bug Cimex hemipterus (Hemiptera: Cimicidae)
The recent resurge of bed bug infestations (Cimex spp.; Cimicidae) and their resistance to commonly used pesticides calls for alternative methods of control. Pheromones play an important role in environmentally sustainable methods for the management of many pest insects and may therefore be applicable for the control of bed bugs. The tropical bed bug, Cimex hemipterus, is a temporary ectoparasi...
متن کاملMEDICAL ENTOMOLOGY Effectiveness of Bed Bug Monitors for Detecting and Trapping Bed Bugs in Apartments
Bed bugs, Cimex lectularius L., are now considered a serious urban pest in the United States. Because they are small and difÞcult to Þnd, there has been strong interest in developing and using monitoring tools to detect bed bugs and evaluate the results of bed bug control efforts. Several bed bug monitoring devices were developed recently, but their effectiveness is unknown. We comparatively ev...
