Emission theory

Brodie refers to evolution as being controversial, I fail to see it as so, controversial means debatable, and to date there is no more well researched, well founded, and supported scientific theory for the origin of species. Reading this opening reminded me of the Bill Nye – Ken Ham debate, Bill Nye argued that creation is not a viable scientific explanation to the origin of species while Ken Ham opposed. In the final moments of the debate, both men were asked, what would change each other’s…

Universe by Adrian Hough, presented four theories describing the interaction between science and religion. The first theory suggested the notion of independence between science and religion. Hough says, “According to this understanding, science and religion are two totally separate disciplines and they deal with totally separate items and issues” (p34 of FITU). The second theory implied that science and religion were in conflict with each other. The third theory explained an integration of…

Perception of Science as Inaccessibility Science is often imagined as apathetic scientists methodically mixing different colored liquids in expensive labs with extensive procedures and regulations. Science is the epitome of method, and often held in high regard. Yet with all this regulation much of the public still doubts scientific findings. The debates over the validity of climate change continue, despite the massive amount of verification and confirmation on the subject. The public sometimes…

How threatening it might sound, nuclear medicine is a very common type of treatment, as “On average, one in every two Australians can expect at some stage of his or her life to undergo a nuclear medicine procedure,” (Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organization). It may come as a surprise, but these include Nuclear Imaging such as MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging), Pet scans, CT (Computerized Tomography) CAT (Computerized Axial Tomography). And no it is not A green liquid in a capsule…

Early brain imaging studies of musical imagery used PET (positron emission tomogra- phy), which has now been almost completely replaced by fMRI. PET and fMRI each have their pros and cons as methods for functional brain imaging. PET works by com- bining several tricks. Typically, subjects are injected with 2-deoxyglucose, a modified form of sugar that is transported through the bloodstream to cells just like glucose, but cannot be metabolized. As a result, 2-deoxyglucose builds up rapidly in…

While on the ice, hockey players can take a hit when they least expect it. They can be blind sided from behind or tripped with a stick at any given time. In the case of Paige Decker, the reckless behavior of another player can change not only the course of the game, but the course of a player 's life. Paige was a successful hockey player on the Yale women’s hockey team. She was in the prime of her game, and a member of the ECAC All-Academic team. She was preparing to graduate from a prestigious…

is to review, in an unbiased way of brain imaging technologies in investigating the relationship between biology and behaviour. Brain imaging technologies, with their advantages and disadvantages: PET scan/Positron Emission Tomography scan What it is: A PET scan, or Positron Emission Tomography scan is a scan that detects positrons that are emitted from radioactive materials, and is used to scan bodies containing a radioactive tracer/radiotracer/radiopharmaceutical/radionuclide is either…

Subaru has added; blindspot sensors, rearview cameras, new airbag technology, high-tech assisted driving features, and much more to compete with the expanding tech/auto universe. Globally we are seeing a rise in low emission cars, electric vehicles, and some prototypes of self driving vehicles. This rush of automotive technology creates a competitive market for car companies to keep up with. More hands off technology is becoming common is cheaper cars, setting a new…

It was recorded that 12 out of 35 patients, suffered from extrahepatic tumour. This was revealed by PET/CT combined and by CT scan single-handedly. The extrahepatic tumours in two of the patients were not detected by PET and PET/CT; those were recorded to have node of 2 –cm lymph in the hepatoduodenal ligament. It is furthermore, true that both forms of the scans (CT and PET/CT) reported extrahepatic tumour in patients that did not have it at all. The CT scan reported it in 3 out of 23 patients,…

can be provided as well, even though the cause-effect relationship may not be able to be established because of the complexity of the structure of the brain. There are different types of brain-imaging technologies. For example, the PET(positron emission topography), the MRI(magnetic…
