Their entire procedure was completed in less than 28 minutes. The current H5N1 tests, on the toehr hand, occur around the space of 4 hours.
Their point-of-care tests are comprised of an instrument that has a disposable component and, by being low cost and rapid to use, is ideal for those countries that need it most and where, due to depleted resources, the influenza vaccine is unavailable. Resources for creating their point-of-care tests are inexpensive: a CD-ROM drive, a power supply, a spindle stepper motor for microfluidic actuation, and optics for fluorescence detection. Most countries can, with help from generous and more privileged others, come up with these requirements. Transport and storage related issues would need to be transfigured into the expense.
Conclusion
The authors provide an important and under mentioned perspective to treatment of H5N1 influenza by noting that countries that most need the vaccination and treatment are not receiving it due to their inability to pay for the expense. Bird flue, rather than being impeded, is therefore spreading. The authors, accordingly, posit a supremely practical and professional solution to providing a drug that is not only cheaper, and faster but also as equally effective as standard drugs...
They are certainly important in their contribution to preventing the disease from spreading in developing countries and to impeding it at its outset, but their idea can be applied to developing countries too where a cheaper and more rapid solution will always be welcome. More so, the authors' creation can be applied to a manifold of epidemics that include emerging and re merging infectious diseases such as measles, SARS, HIV / AIDS, hepatitis B, influenza, cholera, tuberculosis, or malaria by extracting nucleic acids from other body fluids such as blood, urine, or salivea. Their contribution, therefore, can be extended to more fields than one and have enormous positive ramifications and impact.
In this way, the authors' contribution has global and far-reaching results and they have reason to believe that the microfluidic system described in their article can be "an attractive diagnostic platform, especially for decentralized environmental, biological, or medical testing" (p.4).

classroom, regardless of the age of the learner, we realize that there are multiple learning styles and responses to divergent stimuli. The modern pedagogical environment is faced with a number of challenges that are directly related to learning. In fact, as an educational pendulum swings, we find any number of methods that are thought to be new and innovative; yet it is sometimes the tried and true methods that
" As will be shown below, the bottled water market is increasingly competitive and consumers have a dazzling array of choices available to them. It is clear that Voss has taken this into account when developing its sophisticated packaging, some samples of which are shown in Figure ____ below. Figure ____.

Airway Pressure on Cardiovascular Performance HEART-LUNG CONNECTION The Influence of Mean Airway Pressure on Cardiovascular Performance Breathing, also known as pulmonary ventilation, is the basic connection between the heart and lungs (Williams & Whitney, 2006). The connection allows air between the lungs and the atmosphere and the exchange of gases between the air and the alveoli in the lungs. Body receptors can detect changes involved in the movement of air and the
). Over time, from one second to the next, human behavior constantly changes, contributing to the fact that human behavior, consequently human cognition, constitutes a dynamic process. (Thelen and Smith, 1994). Communication, also a continuous interactive process, serves as the overtime interaction between the human motivated information processing system and the communication message.
