Cardozo Arts   Entertainment Law Journal was ranked first in journal cites in the Entertainment  Arts and Sports Law category in       second in Scholarly Impact and third in Cites by Courts  At a recent presentation at the prestigious International Congress of Industrial and Applied Mathematics in Tokyo     Marian Gidea  association dean for STEM research and director of graduate mathematics at the Katz School  revealed the results of a simplified mathematical model demonstrating that oscillating steel beams made of piezoelectric materials produce more energy when their motion is regular Cardozo Law Review was established in       the first year of the School of Law existence
Piezo is the Greek root for pressure or push  and piezoelectric describes a property of special solid materials that can convert energy from an applied pressure into an electrical charge By journal citations  it ranks   th  according to Washington   Lee Law School database
The researchers created a framework in which two steel beams are hooked up to a capacitor and suspended over magnets The research   Energy Growth  Dissipation  and Control in Hamiltonian Systems   is supported by a three year          National Science Foundation grant  which was awarded in July to investigate dynamical systems  including applications to energy harvesting  celestial mechanics and space mission design
What we discovered to our surprise is that the answer we got was the one we should have expected   said    Gidea The computer model was developed in collaboration with Tamar Leiser  who wrote her honor thesis on the subject as a student at YU Stern School for Women  and Katz School Mathematics Ph D  student Samuel Akingbade  as well as research collaborators from Georgia Tech and Polytechnic University of Catalunya
Piezoelectric energy harvesting is also the preferred method for use with wearable devices since it is the most capable of producing the power needed at a small scale When the vibration of the beams is stronger than the mechanical friction  electricity is produced and stored in the capacitor
The use of piezoelectricity stands to reduce  or even eliminate  the need for frequent charging of devices and batteries The beams that keep moving in a regular fashion  a periodic motion  going back and forth  accumulate more energy in comparison with the ones that move chaotically that is  without any pattern    Energy harvesting devices  which produce electrical charges through external vibrations  can be attached to skyscrapers  trains or bridges and provide a source of unlimited renewable energy
This may be a critical advance for healthcare since these devices can be implanted in pacemakers to stimulate the heart   said    Gidea The steel beams in the Katz School model were coated with ceramic  the preferred material for this type of energy harvesting because of its low cost and effective piezoelectric properties
Providing professional care for English speakers  gap year students and Israelis  the Center will offer mental health counseling that has become ever more important during prolonged lockdowns and affiliated stresses caused by the COVID    pandemic and other factors Consumers would no longer be burdened with having to be near an electrical outlet  which would in turn conserve electricity
Staffed by Wurzweiler graduate students  recent graduates and other professionals who specialize in a variety of modalities and concentrations such as addiction  anxiety and trauma  the Center will address the pressing mental health needs of English speaking immigrants  from those suffering psychologically from the pandemic to gap year students away from home for the first time and new immigrants struggling to adjust to life in Israel To fill a critical need for affordable  English language mental health services in Israel  Yeshiva University  together with Amudim Israel  will open the Jerusalem Therapy Center in September
This is an exceptional opportunity to connect to the University larger mission of serving the needs of those living in Israel The Center will be run as a partnership between the Wurzweiler School of Social Work and Amudim Israel  a social services organization serving individuals and families impacted by trauma  addiction and other complex mental health related issues
These students are away from their families and familiar support systems  often for the first time  and are not usually covered for mental health counseling by the tourist temporary health insurance Wurzweiler is unique in its ability to both educate the next generation of mental health professionals and provide much needed and high level services to our community in Israel   said    Selma Botman  provost and vice president for academic affairs
For many in Israel English speaking community  dealing with mental health issues can be difficult  complicated and confusing As a world renowned institution  YU is proud to provide exceptional training  support  and expertise to the people of Israel    Gap year students come to Israel to study for a year fresh out of high school and will be a key focus for the Center
Recognizing the challenges faced by English speakers in Israel  in May  Wurzweiler co sponsored a Mental Health Expo in Jerusalem  which drew over       participants The Center will provide vital  affordable  quality mental health care to this vulnerable population
Our community is in real need of mental health services   said Nechama Munk  senior program director of Wurzweiler in Israel Diagnosis and treatment can be trying under the best of circumstances  and locating appropriate English speaking practitioners can add layers of complexity  while navigating and understanding the mental health services offered through the health system can be challenging
Getting good  affordable treatment is challenging for all Israelis  and even more so when your mother tongue isn t Hebrew The large turnout was just one of many catalysts for opening the Jerusalem Therapy Center
Studies have shown that anxiety and depression have increased by     since the onset of the pandemic  a wake up call to countries around the world to step up mental health services and support One of our basic values is to help those in need  and the Therapy Center will be here to offer relief and hope
When everything was shut down  the people who were lonely were much lonelier  and the people who were depressed became more depressed And good mental health services have never been more necessary
Another long term benefit of the Jerusalem Therapy Center  it will create English speaking clinical fieldwork placement for Wurzweiler graduate students   supervised by experienced clinicians   who will help students gain skills and give back to the community And while Munk says that COVID did not create new mental health issues  it exacerbated existing difficulties
