Aiming at the characteristics of the elderly population, based on the demand theory, this paper proposes a design scheme of a suitable family bathroom system. Based on the theory of Maslow's demand theory, understand the real psychological status of the elderly through theoretical transformation, analyze the physical and psychological characteristics of the elderly, and simulate the specific behavior of the elderly in the bathroom space system through user interviews. In response to the elderly's needs for the space, facilities and supporting facilities of the bathroom system, a type of bathroom space was finally selected to carry out the design practice, which provided certain theoretical support and practical reference value for the subsequent research of bathroom products for the elderly. them focus on the general analysis of the product size and lack the corresponding in-depth exploration.

  • Potty Training: NASA Tests New $23M Titanium Space Toilet 1 October 2020, by Marcia Dunn
    Potty training: NASA tests new $23M titanium space toilet 1 October 2020, by Marcia Dunn the shakedown goes well, the toilet will be open for regular business. With SpaceX now launching astronauts to the space station and Boeing less than a year from sending up its first crew, more toilets are needed. The new one will be in its own stall alongside the old one on the U.S. side of the outpost. The old toilets cater more toward men. To better accommodate women, NASA tilted the seat on the new toilet and made it taller. The new shape should help astronauts position themselves better for No. 2, said Johnson Space Center's Melissa McKinley, the project manager. In this June 18, 2020 photo provided by NASA, astronaut Kate Rubins, center, and support personnel review the Universal Waste Management System, a low- gravity space toilet, in Houston. The new device is scheduled to be delivered to the International Space Station on Oct. 1, 2020. (Norah Moran/NASA via AP) NASA's first new space potty in decades—a $23 million titanium toilet better suited for women—is getting a not-so-dry run at the International Space Station before eventually flying to the moon. It's packed inside a cargo ship that should have blasted off late Thursday from Wallops Island, Virginia. But the launch was aborted with just two minutes remaining in the countdown. Northrop Northrup Grumman's Antares rocket is poised for launch at the NASA Wallops test flight facility Thursday, Oct. 1, Grumman said it would try again Friday night if 2020, in Wallops Island, Va.

Scientific Literacy is an evolving combination of the science-related attitudes, skills, and knowledge students need to develop inquiry, problem-solving, and decision-making abilities; to become lifelong learners; and to maintain a sense of wonder about the world around them. To develop scientific literacy, students require diverse learning experiences that provide opportunities to explore, analyze, evaluate, synthesize, appreciate, and understand the interrelationships among science, technology, society, and the environment. The Three Processes of Scientific Literacy An individual can be considered Scientifically Literate when he/she is familiar with, and able to engage in, three processes: Inquiry, problem solving, and decision making.

  • DOWNTOWN PUBLIC TOILET FACILITIES PROJECT TEAM RECOMMENDATIONS June 13, 2019
    DOWNTOWN PUBLIC TOILET FACILITIES PROJECT TEAM RECOMMENDATIONS June 13, 2019 1. Project Background and Description Project Mission: Explore the issue of Downtown public toilet facilities in Chapel Hill. This document outlines beneficial bathroom locations, attributes and recommendations to be used by the Town, its partners and private property stakeholders as future development is considered in Downtown. Downtown Chapel Hill is an economic driver and public cultural center of Chapel Hill, a key visitor and family location of interest, and a heavily used corridor for the UNC community. To attract and retain a diverse set of visitors to the Downtown, it must include toilets available to all. Public toilets serve a community good and thus are a worthy investment of public and private funds. Among other avenues, this interest arose during the Spring 2018 Downtown Work Plan public input process after which a team was formed of community stakeholders to explore the issue, test possible solutions, and create a formal set of recommendations for the future. The Downtown Public Toilet Team (“Team”) focused on the vicinity of the Franklin and Columbia Street intersection due to this area being the highest foot traffic and the most significant amount of visitors and events. Team members met from late 2018 to early 2019 and include the following: Name Title Organization Aaron Executive Director, Off-Campus UNC Bachenheimer Student Life and Community Partnerships Chief Chris Blue Police Chief Town of Chapel Hill Tina Fuller Social Media Coordinator
