The mechanics of animatronics

Article Abstract:

The most common animatronic technology is industrial pneumatics which provide a cheap and reliable small movement range. Electric motors allow good movement and are second in popularity. Motorised cams moving cables provide smooth movements simply but the mechanism is large. Hydraulics achieve life-like movement but cost can be prohibitive. Proportional pneumatics may supercede industrial pneumatics as they achieves realistic movement at the same cost. Body language representation provides a future technological challenge.

Changing perspectives on retirement

Article Abstract:

Contemporary and historical literature on retirement have failed to forecast, define and explain the reasons for retirement complexity. The rise of retirement complexity is evident from the decline in labor force participation of older workers. Complexity research, which should involve firm behavior assessments, should also be integrated with existing employment studies.

Article Abstract:

JAMA and NEJM recognize that people depend upon media stories for informative health information to enhance their lifestyles. Targeting the lay public has generated TV and newspaper coverage of news reported in these journals. One benefit is increased pharmaceutical advertising pages.
