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

The large turnout was just one of many catalysts for opening the Jerusalem Therapy Center
