Anomaly

I Am Legend by Richard Matheson was a brilliant, enticing read. It is definitely the most interesting, multi-layered vampire story I have ever read. It provided the genre with such unique and authentic qualities, allowing Matheson to impregnate a unique believability of these vampires into my mind. Robert Neville, the protagonist of the novel, is the only survivor of a devastating pandemic which plagued the rest of the population with a form of vampirism. Neville spends much of his days…

to define me and decide what I will accomplish in life wasn’t easy. At first, I attempted to keep my medical issues secret, to feel "normal" and not place myself in a situation where I could be teased. I've since realized I need to not hide these anomalies which make me who I am, but embrace them and show everyone these differences and challenges make me the strong person I am today.…

this topic because it is truly amazing what human bodies can do and create through such a defined biological process. In our developmental disabilities class, we are discussing various developmental disabilities and I find those caused by genetic anomalies to be most interesting because of this defined biological process. Everything must go in a defined…

Pericardial Cysts are very rare benign congenital anomalies of the anterior and middle mediastinum with incidence of about 1 in 100,000. 60% are discovered between the ages of 30 to 50 and over 75% of them are right-sided, 22% are left-sided, while the rest are in the posterior or anterior superior mediastinum. Pericardial Cysts are thought to result from the failure of fusion of one of the mesenchymal lacunae that forms the pericardial sac, unfortunately due to the lack of research the true…

the electron count climbs until a full shell is reached at eight electrons, i.e. the noble gases who have full outer shells. The full shell signals the end of a Period at Group VIII, and then it begins again in Group I in a new Period. There is an anomaly from Scandium (Sc) to Zinc (Zn) where the electron count doesn’t rise, it hovers around 1-2 electrons in the valence shell; these metals are the transition elements (metals). Transition metals are different as they can be found in different…

CONCLUSION Within this conclusion, the three aforementioned inquiries posed within the portion titled “Bonding in Alcohols in Relation to Boiling Point” will be answered thoroughly within an analytic context. 1) “On average, by how many degrees celsius does the boiling point increase when the addition of an extra carbon atom in a straight-chain homologous series of saturated alcohols occurs?” On average, as per calculations conducted, the boiling point increases by a magnitude of…

Introduction It was during his regular job as an American historian of science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology that Thomas Kuhn realized that theories which were ones believed to be true, were actually not really true, since they were at some point replaced by others, which were also believed to be more true than the previous ones(Bertie.ccsu.edu., n.d.) For instance, the common belief that the earth is at the center of the universe was eventually replaced by Galileo Galilei’s…

“My mother taught me to read when I was four, and the letters in the words that I saw had specific colors. She used black and white flash cards so I don't know where the color came from.” (“Synesthesia Interview”). This is a common scenario for a Synesthetic. Tasting colors, seeing colors from certain sounds, and other examples of types of Synesthesia may just seem ludicrous to the average person, but this condition seems normal to Synesthetic and often is not identified until adulthood!…

The question of how insane Don Quixote is, is completely open to interpretation and overall a very good character anomaly that was developed by Cervantes. Don Quixote as a character is essentially a walking contradiction; there are multiple times where Sancho is so impressed by Quixote’s scholarly abilities that he is surprised that Quixote can be so mad yet so educated…

There are numerous anomalies that can be seen in the dental hygiene field, many of which require the dental hygienist to modify the way the treatment plan is conducted for the patient. One of the conditions a dental hygienist may come across while practicing is Pfeiffer Syndrome. According to Genetics Home Reference (2017), Pfeiffer syndrome is defined as “a genetic disorder characterized by the premature fusion of certain skull bones (craniosynostosis).” Because these skull bones fuse early it…
