Recent Progress on Magnetorheological Solids: Materials, Fabrication, Testing, and Applications

“…[44,214] The MREs bush shown in Figure 19, patented by Watson in 1997, is a novel technique for tuning the stiffness constant, which allows for increasing passenger satisfaction as a result of a decrement in the dissatisfaction associated with braking noise, vibration, and harshness. [33,161,215] The placement of the MRE bush in the longitudinal suspension link is mainly proposed for overcoming disturbance in a longitudinal direction. The state of MREs bush stiffness depends on the electrical current supplied by the power regulator as a function of the output signal from the control unit.…”

Expanding client-centred thinking to include social determinants: a practical scenario based on the occupation of breastfeeding

“…As occupational therapy expands beyond treating individual clients to include addressing needs of populations (6–8), rectifying this neglect of social determinants and societal factors by capturing the influence of institutions and systems on occupation in client-centred reasoning becomes necessary. Recent scholarship in occupational therapy has suggested the concept of social determinants of occupation and the need to incorporate a broader understanding of social contexts into client-centred thinking (5, 9–11).…”

Entomogenous fungi of corn insects in Iowa

“…Fusarium species have been employed in insect control attempts dur ing the first half of this century. Berger (1910) and Watson (1913) re ported Fusarium aleyrodis Fetch attacking whiteflies in Florida. Watson attempted artificial dissemination of the fungus spores with good results.…”
