Electric shock

simulate the transmission of shocks from the Trans-Pacific region to the US. FAVAR has two advantages compared with traditional VAR. First, it can incorporate a broader set of information related to the unknown transmission mechanism by utilizing detailed sectoral data. As Maier and Vasishtha (2013) note, this is particularly relevant when the international transmission mechanism involves more than two countries. Second, FAVAR allows us to study the transmission of shocks in several…

said, “The moment it hears the tone and feels the shock, inside its head, a bunch of neurons start to build. Whenever you create a memory, it 's an active cellular connection. What we 're talking about here is associative memories, an association between two things in the outside world.” Basically, a connection was built between the tone brain cell and the shock brain cell. After playing the tone a second time, the rat would brace itself for the shock. Succeeding trying it out on a rat, they…

Hypernatremia occurs when the body has increased serum sodium levels that go over 145 mEq/L. This increase in serum sodium levels results in hypertonicity, pulling water out of cells resulting in cell shrinkage. Based on extracellular fluid water volume (level of hypertonicity), hypernatremia can be isovolemic (most common), hypovolemic, or hypervolemic. When isovolemic hypernatremia occurs, there is a loss of free water whilst maintaining near normal sodium serum concentration. Isovolemic…

Have you ever wondered why people don't listen to authority? Or maybe why there is such an issue with disobedience? We see all over the world that there is a major problem in obeying and disobeying. People obey or disobey authority because they desire to conform to society, they fear authority, and because of moral conviction. We continue to be obedient because we want to fit in with rest of the world, were afraid to be different and stand up for what we really believe. “As long as i am…

Mallard. She had a heart disease and any seriously shocking moments could trigger a fatal heart attack. Mrs. Mallard is an unsympathetic person based on her desire to become a widow, the perceived joy and freedom of her husband’s death, and the shock she faces when she realizes her husband is still alive. Mrs. Mallard felt stuck with no power and desired to become a widow because a widow had almost as much power as a man. She had two people watch over her because of her heart condition-…

myself. As soon as I discovered there was nothing like I expected, I was anxious and homesick. I wondered how long it would take me to adapt to this new culture and the people. Only a couple months passed, but I already experienced several culture shocks such as tipping, holding doors, greeting strangers, kissing in public, and difference view of respecting to elders, etc. Most of them I experienced in high school, it was where I learned the most interesting and weird things of American…

scholarly article, “ Behavioral Study of Obedience” written and conducted by Stanley Miller, an experiment was performed to see if a group of amenable participants, named subjects, were willing to provide electrical shocks to another person, the experiment tested how far down the severity of shocks the subject would administer to the victim. The question is would being in the position of control and having a feeling as if the subject cannot leave, makes shocking another person justifiable? To…

When a phone company puts out an advertisement, their main goal is to promote a message to prevent such tragic events from occurring in society. There are many advertisements trying to grab the audience’s attention to make a difference. In this advertisement, AT&T, uses a real life situation to show the audience how risky it is to use your phone while driving. Since AT&T is a major phone seller, they take advantage of that to reduce the number of accidents in a majority of people to…

This condition was in one of the clinical correlations which I thought was interesting how the body’s energy processes worked against themselves. Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a rare, inherited life-threatening condition that is induced by general anesthetic drugs such as halothane. Generally, most cases show no signs or symptoms until individuals are exposed to anesthesia. However, there are cases where an individual with MH goes under anesthetics and will not react. The reaction includes a…

If you have ever read one of those articles on when a patient first finds out they have cancer, you immediately ponder to their reaction. I think about how their heart drops deep into their stomach, how the shock makes their facial expression as dull as a back of a butter knife and I think about how there are over 2 million thoughts running through their minds right then. I thought about how scared I would be to lose all my golden blonde locks of hair, how sickening I would look being as pale as…
