Introduction

How materials behave is dependent on various factors, some of which include their mechanical properties. When the material experiences various loading conditions, its behavior reflects its mechanical conditions as well as the effect of the loading conditions. When a material experiences various loading conditions, the material experiences either shear stress, tensile strength, or compressive strength. The tensile properties of a material relate to its ability support any axial loads to which it is subjected without rapturing (Department of Engineering. 2007). When a material is subjected to tensile stress, the deformation that occurs is in the form of elongation or ...

Business Impact Analysis

Business impact analysis is the main driver in the implementation of a contingency plan. Conducting a business impact analysis is fundamental in CP controls according to NIST SP 800-53.

Although all hospitals have infection control procedures and policies, the risk of infections seems to be impossible to completely eliminate. In the course of my clinical nursing experience, I have noted that these infections that are mostly picked up during a patients stay in the hospital mostly ranges from lung infections, urinary tract infections, Methicilin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA), and blood stream infections among many others (Amos & Waugh,2010). These are commonly known as hospital-acquired infections (HIA). In this paper, I will expound on the ...

Discussion and Comparison of Laparoscopic and Open Surgical Inguinal Hernia Repair in Adults.

Abstract There is an ever increasing number of hernia repair surgeries required likely due to decreasing levels of physical activity amongst young adults and concurrent muscle wastage in the abdomen. Time off from work, staffing issues at hospitals, and cost of hospital bed space are some of the issues associated with the high cost of open surgical methods. Wound infection, decreased mobility, and recurrence of the hernia are problems associated with all surgeries. The last thirty years has seen the advent of laparoscopy and minimally invasive techniques of surgical repair. These methods offer the promises of decreased surgical ...
