The majority of women who initiate breastfeeding at birth do not meet long term exclusive recommendations. This early weaning is often the result difficulties and misinformation. Access to lactation professionals limited for many patients family physicians can help bridge this care gap.

Ever since the middle of the last centurywhen Sir Charles Wheatstone first put to practical use a curious electrical balancing network which had been devised a decade before by a fellow Englishman named Christie, the bridge circuit has been accepted a s avaluable and powerful tool in the field of electrical measurement. Even though today bridges, like almost everything else, have become increas...

This paper presents an induced voltage linear extraction method for disturbing force self-sensing in the application of giant magnetostrictive actuators (GMAs). In this method, a Kelvin bridge combined with an active device is constructed instead of a conventional Wheatstone bridge for extraction of the induced voltage, and an additional GMA is adopted as a reference actuator in the self-sensin...

We present measurements of equilibrium forces resulting from capillary condensation. The results give access to the ultralow interfacial tensions between the capillary bridge and the coexisting bulk phase. We demonstrate this with solutions of associative polymers and an aqueous mixture of gelatin and dextran, with interfacial tensions around 10 microN/m. The equilibrium nature of the capillary...

Radio Resource Management is the bridge between diverse Radio Access Technologies. A common view of RRM, supporting a set of common radio-independent algorithms, provides a generic framework for the deployment of a wide variety of data services. An ideal heterogeneous control environment dynamically substitutes different algorithms and management strategies; such as capacity based or class base...

introduction: bridges are certainly one of the most important structures but costly service elements in a transport system. the bridges are very required to access the damaged areas in emergency situations such as floods and earthquakes. scour around the foundations of bridge piers exposed to the flowing water than can destroy the bridge itself is a subject of major concern. flow pattern is kno...

The Patients Participate! project explored the feasibility of a citizen science approach to writing lay summaries for research articles. It involved a range stakeholders: funders of research (medical charities), service providers (the British Library), researchers and patients. Informed by practices within medical charities and the experiences of other citizen science projects, different method...

The corporate databases can be linked to the Web in a manner that allows clients or employees to access to corporate data through a Web browser. This paper first describes the bridge between the Web and corporate databases and discusses a series of related concepts. Secondly, a number of linking methods and their analysis are presented. Thirdly, an example web-based application developed using ...

Gis2web is a system intended t o bridge the gap between GIs software and datasets and the WWW. The system operates by periodically accessing distributed datasets of GIs information and creating a common repository of WWW accessible information o n a gis2web server. In this way gis2web users are provided seamless access to different datasets which may be of quite different forms. This paper disc...
