If you are the author of this work and desire to provide it open access or wish access removed, please contact the Wahlstrom Library to discuss permission.The purpose of this paper is to look at current research in the field of Neurofeedback and its use in the treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. This is not a new field and there are hundreds of papers currently reviewing and researching this topic. This is yet another, reviewing the efficacy of this type of treatment. The research seems to support that Neurofeedback is a useful tool in the treatment of ADHD. It is a targeted treatment that can have powerful effects for some. The treatment can also be individualized to the person’s type of ADHD. It also has no side-effects, which is a nice alternative to some of the medications available. The efficacy is not across the board, in symptoms or manifestations of ADHD however. It can also be time consuming and expensive

Crafting Peace Through Education as an Alternative to Drones
No full textFederally administered Tribal Areas (FATA) include seven agencies and six Frontier Regions, and are bordered by the Durand line and Afghanistan to the west, by the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province to the north and east, and by Balochistan province to the south. Since the creation of Pakistan, North Waziristan and the rest of the Tribal Areas have been neglected and under-developed, and their residents do not enjoy key human rights protections under Pakistani and international law. The use of drones, for surveillance and so-called targeted killings by the USA have fast become among the most controversial human rights issues in the world. In no place is this more apparent than in Pakistan. Since innocent people are badly suffering in consequence to Drones
Task Based Design of Serial Robotic Manipulators
No full textComputing the optimal geometric structure of manipulators is one of the most intricate
problems in contemporary robot kinematics. Robotic manipulators are designed and built
to perform certain predetermined tasks. It is therefore important to incorporate such task
requirements during the design and synthesis of the robotic manipulators. Such task
requirements and performance constraints can be specified in terms of the required endeffector
positions, orientations along the task trajectory. In this work, we define, develop
and test a methodology that can generate optimal manipulator geometric structures
based on the task requirements. Another objective of this work is to guarantee task
performance under user defined joint constraints. Using this methodology, task-based
optimal manipulator structures can be generated that guarantee task performance under
set operating constraint
