The novel technology concerns a coating that is applied to bio-medical implants. The coating is being tested as to its viability in promoting cell and culture growth.
The big picture of such technology is that it will allow for improved acceptance of the bio-medical implants into the body, thereby promoting improved societal health.
The experiment used an in-lab procedure that compared three different coatings to determine cell growth, surface cell coverage, and cell roundage. The cell roundage verifies the interaction of the cells with the bio-medical device as well as being a predictor of cell death. The scientists used the same procedures for all three coatings.
One way that the experiment could be improved is by using live subjects (be they animal or human). In that way, the environment in which the coating(s) would be used would be more realistic.
The key results were remarkable in that platinum coatings and UNCD both proved to be much more viable than silicon coatings, and that UNCD seemed to be much less likely to produce cell roundage. Silicon coatings were much more likely to produce roundage, with UNCD and platinum were fairly close in the cell viability, cell growth and cell roundage patterns. Additionally the UNCD coating was three times more viable than platinum and six times more viable than silicon when compared in the nuclear area.
One limitation to the results is that it was a relatively small study and that the results could be biased towards the UNCD coating.
I would create a more comprehensive in-lab testing procedure using additional comparisons and I would attempt to discern how the coatings would work under more optimal circumstances.
One ethical consideration could be that the researchers may have been biased towards the UNCD coatings. Since it is the most recent technology, it would be interesting to discern whether the researchers had a financial interest in the development of UNCD.
A lack the understanding of specifically how the three coatings differ in cost for the consumer. Just because the viability is presumed does not necessarily mean that the new coating is going to be cost effective.
My research shows that all three coatings are relatively close in final cost, therefore if UNCD does accomplish the most viability, the cost would have little impact as compared to either silicon coatings or platinum coatings.
principals who are equity-oriented, marginalized dynamics may crop up in schools that are changing demographically at a rapid pace (Cooper, 2009). This essay reflects upon how educators may play the role of transformative leaders by way of carrying out cultural work that tackles inequity, addresses and/or attempts to remove socio-cultural limits, and promotes inclusion. The theories of Cornel West on 'the new cultural politics of difference' appraise the topic,
Moreover, CoPs develop their practice through improving the diffusion of innovation within their active networks; the benefits of such interactions are countless especially in the field of healthcare. One can assume that specialty doctors' communities would present the perfect example for CoPs because they share the same practice, interest and professionalism. It would be interesting to study if those CoP networks exist in United Arab Emirates, whether they are active

, 2010). The model includes several mediator (e.g., knowledge exchange) and moderator variables (e.g., self-leadership competencies of actors) that explain why and when this approach is effective and looks at leadership in more of a comprehensive way than focusing on one individual. Such perspectives have suggested that when employees become involved in the decision making processes then this can strengthen leadership. Transactional Leadership Transactional leadership is the leadership model that represents what
20th century has been one of remarkable technological advancements and of increased need to further improve human existence and the speed through which man runs about its everyday life. These ideas alone have demonstrated an immense capacity of man to research and invent new ideas, mechanisms, and to elaborate on the most important technological evolutions to set these mechanisms in motion. However, these evolutions have not been without flaws
Here, it is stated that "each Member shall accord to the nationals of other Members treatment no less favourable than that it accords to its own nationals with regard to the protection of intellectual property." (Gervais, 3) This is to indicate that membership in this agreement burdens each member nation with the responsibility of granting and protecting patents with the same level of strictness as would be afforded domestic innovators. Domestic nations, under the conditions
