  INTRODUCTION TO SUSTAINABILITY IN SURGICAL EDUCATION Developing a sustainability curriculum for surgical residents is crucial for integrating environmental awareness into medical practice. As healthcare contributes significantly to environmental impact, it's essential to educate future surgeons on sustainable practices that can reduce waste, conserve resources, and promote overall environmental responsibility within the medical field. IDENTIFYING THE NEEDS OF SURGICAL RESIDENTS A comprehensive needs assessment is vital to understand the specific requirements of surgical residents regarding sustainability. This assessment helps in identifying the knowledge gaps, skills needed, and the attitudes required to foster a culture of sustainability within surgical training programs. By addressing these needs, the curriculum can be tailored to meet the demands of modern healthcare. DEVELOPING A SUSTAINABLE CURRICULUM FRAMEWORK The development of a sustainability curriculum involves crea...

  A review of metal magnetic memory technology in civil engineering INTRODUCTION TO METAL MAGNETIC MEMORY TECHNOLOGY Metal Magnetic Memory (MMM) technology is an innovative non-destructive testing method used to evaluate the stress-strain state and detect early-stage defects in metal structures. Unlike traditional methods, MMM leverages the natural magnetic fields generated by the Earth's magnetic field interacting with stressed metal surfaces. This review explores the application of MMM in civil engineering, providing insights into its principles, benefits, and current usage. PRINCIPLES OF MMM TECHNOLOGY MMM technology is based on the principle that when a metal structure is subjected to mechanical stress, it experiences changes in its magnetic field. These magnetic changes, known as self-magnetic leakage fields (SMLF), are detectable on the surface of the metal. MMM sensors measure these SMLF variations, allowing engineers to identify areas of stress concentration and potential ...
