A Proof of Concept Study on Utilising a Non-invasive Microwave Analysis Technique to Characterise Silver Based Materials in Aqueous Solution.

This paper reports on the feasibility of using a novel and robust microwave sensing technique to analyse and detect silver materials in an aqueous solution. Two products are tested, namely: silver chloride and silver oxide. The study mainly focused on indicating the difference between them and also any change in the size/size distribution of the sample.

Access to mobile communications by older people.

Aim: To investigate how older people effectively identify, select and learn to use mobile communications technologies to enhance communication and safety, and support independent living.

Methods: One hundred and fifty-three older South Australians participated in a purpose-designed survey questionnaire.

Results: Older people relied on family and friends for information and advice (76%), and their children's assistance with buying (45%) and learning to use (48%) new technology.

Research into telecommunications options for people with physical disabilities.

People with a disability do not have equitable access to the modern telecommunication medium. Many experience difficulty typing, handling the phone, dialing, or answering calls. For those who are unable to speak, the only option is to type messages using whatever functional control site exists on their body.
