neurogenic claudication and lower extremity weakness. Her magnetic resonance (MR) studies showed new onset of spondylolisthesis at the same level of the previously found synovial cyst. She underwent bilateral decompression laminectomy and instrumented fusion which resulted in significant pain relief and neurological improvement. Key words: spondylolisthesis,…
that is many times larger than Earth. Many scientists have referred to it as a massive nuclear reactor that burns numerous amounts of hydrogen; and just like an actual nuclear reactor, hydrogen is the essential fuel in nuclear fusion reactions. The hydrogen in these fusion reactions fuse together to form beryllium, helium, and lithium atoms. “The temperature on the surface of the Sun is approximately six thousand degrees Celsius. While at its core, it is about a million degrees Celsius”…
On November 12, 2015 I attended the Veterans Day Jazz free form concert held at CBC’s choir room. This was the first time I ever went through the music/art building and it was pretty cool. The choir room looked, well like a choir room; inspirational posters on the wall, instruments, sound system, etc. When I first walked into the room I was bit overwhelmed with the amount of people in the small to medium sized room. There was a total of three high schools performing and of course CBC. The high…
Chemistry is an umbrella term that refers to any study of properties, compositions, and reactions occurring between elements at an atomic level. Chemistry exists in many forms: biochemistry, theoretical chemistry, and nanochemistry for instance. One form of chemistry, nuclear chemistry, deals with radioactivity and nuclear processes. The most notable of these processes is transmutation. Transmutation refers to the action that changes an atom of a specific element to a different element, either…
the war going on over seas the government turned to the Army Corp of Engineers to look into nuclear power. From this the Manhattan project started to figure out how to put an end to the war. The Army Corp of Engineers researched nuclear fission and fusion. Finally they had figured out the formula and made the two atomic bombs which helped end the war. The project itself had supplied over 130,000 people with jobs, but by the end of the war had cost the government close to two billion…
5. Proposed Research Questions and Tasks Four proposed research tasks will direct to fabrication conditions (Task 1), fabrication thermal analysis (Task 2), fabricated parts performance (Task 3), microstructure control methodology (Task 4), respectively. These tasks are designed to answer the questions and solve the problems in the results of preliminary experiments and observations from reported investigations. 5.1. Task 1. Investigating feasible formation conditions and effects of laser power…
A science born from the hearts of the hottest starts, fusion sets its eyes on energy domination in the twenty-first century. Unfortunately, fusion research is severely underfunded and is met by criticism from many, arguing that it is unviable or even impossible and that the payoff isn’t worth the initial cost. Although they may argue this they ignore the fact that fusion is extremely efficient, could solve environmental woes, and that fusion produces massive amounts of energy from readily…
Alternative music is an umbrella term that is used to describe music that is not played on mainstream radio, or consumed by mainstream audience. It does not fall into any other musical genre. There are dozens of different subgenres that branched off from alternative music. Alternative pop/rock is a catch-all term for post-punk bands from the mid-1980’s and mid-1990’s. Since there are a variety of musical styles within alternative rock, all of them tie together and exist outside of the…
Fission was used in the original atomic bombs, and fusion is most commonly used today. This is due to the fact that the amount of energy that can be released from fission is limited, whereas fusion can theoretically release an unlimited amount of energy. Fusion is the same type of reaction that occurs on stars, thus obviously very powerful. Fusion occurs when two atoms are “fused” together and release a stray neutron. Thermonuclear bombs are much more powerful, and produce significantly greater…
so did the methods used in war and how Americans viewed the government and entertainment. Radar was one of the first advances to contribute to the war, then the development of the Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer that helped develop the fusion bomb. Next, the first satellite was sent to revolve around the Earth, but it was from the Soviet Union, which resulted in Americans drive to develop Explorer 1. It ultimately improved Americans understanding of space. Then lastly the use of…
