Between June 2007 and February 2009, 20 patients with cervical myelopathy secondary to multilevel cervical spondylosis and spinal stenos...

To improve the existing mechanism for opening the car-door of a mobile shop vehicle, we first apply the contradiction matrix and the idealized design technique of the Theory of the Solution of Inventive Problems (TRIZ) as a reference to ameliorate an automatic car-door opening (closing) system, and find a scheme matching requirements in design. Next, a motor gear transmission system is designed...

The ‘‘Foot-in-the-door’’ is a compliance technique which consists in proposing a little first request to a subject then to submit him/her a second more expensive request. In this way, more compliance to the second request is obtained than in a control situation where this request was not preceding by the first solicitation.
