Mobile phone use when driving is widely considered to be a major cause of car accidents. This paper attempts to review the existing literature by focusing on three key issues: (a) Whether and how seriously does mobile phone use impair driving? (b) How and why does mobile phone use impair driving? (c) What should be done to best prevent from accident? The authors identified a total of 90 epidemi...

The author indicates why homeopathic medicine is an example of future information medicine, a member of the more general psychophysiologic medicine group. Using standard chemical thermodynamics, it is readily shown that the driving force for all chemical reactions involves the logarithm of chemical activities for the different species involved. Because chemical activity is given by the product ...

This paper describes a combined remote sensing-GIS-logistic regression approach of merging extracted information from Landsat images with georeferenced biophysical and socio-economic datasets in the detection and analysis of the driving forces of forest cover change in Agusan del Norte (ADN) in Mindanao Island, Philippines, a province where forest resource use have been historically extensive. ...

Mass transfer is the net movement of mass from one location to another in response to applied driving forces. Mass transfer is used by different scientific disciplines for different processes and mechanisms. It is an important phenomena in the pharmaceutical sciences; drug synthesis, preformulation investigations, dosage form design and manufacture and finally ADME (absorption, distribution, me...

introduction knowledge is continuously being produced in the process of formulating and implementing rural development projects. the capital is available without any cost, but it is neglected. knowledge has been distributed along the extensive network through the country. if knowledge management is recorded and exploited, it could lead to dramatic changes as a result of the butterfly approach. ...

Within the thermodynamic framework with internal variables, the classical Hamilton’s principle for elastic bodies is extended to inelastic bodies composed of materials whose free energy densities are point functions of internal variables, or the so-termed Green-inelastic bodies, subject to finite deformation and non-conservative external forces. Yet this general result holds true even without t...
