Alternating current

Once learning the basics about Cerebral Palsy (CP), I chose to dig deeper into the more modern diagnostic tools and treatments. As an aspiring Audiologist, I looked into tools I would one day use if I were on a case with an individual with CP and found an article about the Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR) tool that is being used to determine hearing loss and likelihood of other related disabilities in tandem with CP. The study done showed significance in correlation with most other causes of CP…

main material for large-scale building projects. Direct and alternating current electricity supplied, and still supplies, households and businesses across the world with the electricity that they use to power people’s everyday lives. The discovery of the X-ray spectrum, and its function in medical imaging and diagnosis, has led to countless medical advances and discoveries. The invention of the Bessemer process, X-ray technology and current electricity has had a huge impact on industrialization…

“Let the future tell the truth and evaluate each one according to his work and accomplishments. The present is theirs; the future, for which I really worked, is mine”- Nikola Tesla Nikola Tesla was born on July 10th 1856, in what is now Croatia. His father was an Orthodox priest. His mother, had a knack for home craft tools and machinery. Tesla was the fourth of five children. He was such a genius that he could do integral calculus in his head and graduated with a four-year term in three years,…

rivals with his apprentice, Nikola Tesla. Both Edison and Tesla were working on trying to find the correct way to improvise upon the light bulb. However, Tesla believed in Alternating Current, while Edison believed in Direct Current. Edison will not accpet Tesla's idea of providing electricity to the light bulb with Alternating Current. As a result, Tesla succeeded from Thomas' company and created his own company that was funded by investor J.P. Morgan. Nikola Tesla and…

Nikola Tesla’s IQ was 200, Einstein’s was 160-180, Thomas Edison’s was 160 and the average for upper extreme is 130+. Nikola Tesla has one of the highest ever recorded IQ. Nikola Tesla has a prodigious memory he can memorize many of his own blueprints in his head without looking at them the entire time of him building them. Nikola Tesla went to the University of Prague in 1880.Nikola Tesla has made many inventions in his years of an inventor.Nikola Tesla was a famous inventor but he did a lot to…

inserted into the tissue and applies a high frequency alternating current that agitate the ions within the tissue to cause the ions follow the change in the direction of the current, leading to frictional heating (Curley 2003). Hyperthermia with small magnetites was first performed by Gilchrist in 1957 (Gilchrist, Medal et al. 1957). Like the RF using alternating current, magnetic fluid hyperthermia generate the heat through an alternating magnetic field and the released thermal energy is…

is traversed by the electrical current. Generally, tissues with high fluid electrolyte concentrations will conduct electricity the best. Bone is the most resistant tissue to electrical flow. Skin impedes electrical current, but resistance is dependent on the skin's thickness and moisture. Wet skin can reduce the contact resistance of the body. The degree of electricity-induced injury is also determined by which tissues are in the current pathway. Electrical current that passes through the head…

Edison launched a propaganda campaign to convince the people of the superiority of direct current. This War of the Currents as it was called, brought in the involvement of Nikola Tesla, who happened to be an inventor and rival of Thomas Edison. Tesla had created the alternating current power generator. Alternating current eventually proved to be a better power transmitting system than using direct current. In 1888, Edison started working on inventing a motion picture camera. Edison passed on the…

“We forget just how painfully dim the world was before electricity. A candle, a good candle, provides barely a hundredth of the illumination of a single 100 watt light bulb. Open your refrigerator door and you summon forth more light than the total amount enjoyed by most households in the 18th century” (Bryson, Bill pg. ). This excerpt from american author Bill Bryson's book, “At Home: A Short History of Private Life” puts into perspective how much society has come to rely on electricity.…

individuals increase their muscular strength by using different “variation of alternating currents”. It can be used by those who have had an injury and are trying to strengthen the muscles that were hurt, or it can be used by athletes to increase their muscular strength. Kotz said Russian stimulation “is a 2,500 Hz alternating sinusoidal current that is interrupted and delivered in short bursts”. This is defined as a burst current, the trait that makes Russian stimulation different from other…
