2.5 High-voltage switching A fundamental component of this microelectrode driver is a high-voltage switch and it is necessary to characterize the implemented switch for different stimulation current levels. An analog CMOS switch can be an n-type or p-type MOSFET which is operated either in cut-off (OFF state) or ohmic region (ON state). The switch can be characterized by a fixed linear transconductance, gds , which is strongly signal-dependent and expressed according to Eq. 8 [37] where, μn and μp

My treatment strategy to help Nicky reduce weight and improve her health outcomes will look at promoting her physical activity (PA), improve her dietary habits and change her behaviour towards PA and diet. Exercise/ PA: Lack of exercise contributes more to excessive weight gain than poor diet. An American study looking at the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data form 1994 to 2010 found that there was a significant increase in the number of women and men who had no time

Zealand whereas other New Zealand artists such as Gordon Walters incorporated suitable Maori patterns and styles in his artworks. During the 20th Century it was apparent that New Zealand artists such as Colin McCahon was heavily influenced by international artists and their artworks, adapted the style of cubism and began to use in his own works. In the late 20th Century New Zealand began to acknowledge culture and diversity within the country, it was then a beginning for Maori artists to become common

Introduction Prostate Cancer (PCa) is the most common cancer affecting men and the second leading cause of cancer death among American men (Qaseem, Denberg, Owens, & Shekelle, 2013). Medical professionals have been using prostate specific antigen (PSA) screenings along with digital rectal exam (DRE) for many years to screen for prostate cancer. PSA was first identified in 1966 in semen, followed by the identification of PSA in blood in 1979. The PSA test has been approved for use since 1994 to detect

SECTION 1: Health Inequalities An individual’s social and economic environments may have an impact on their health behaviours due to the fact that it can affect the choices they make in terms of where and how they live, what they eat, how they move and exercise, and what they are able to do to support themselves in terms of their self-care (World Health Organization, 2015). The determinants of health are factors external to the individual which can have an effect on their activities and the way that

Waking up to a hot cup of coffee, relishing the cool tingling sensation of a cola with your lunch, or relaxing in the afternoon over a cup of tea, all have similar ingredient caffeine.
