variable in a specific scenario. Clinical questions are derived from clinical situations where there is no immediate answer. This is the fundamental backbone to proposing a clinical question such as, “Do exercise habits during middle age affect locomotive syndrome in old age?” (Nishimura et al., 2017). Clinical questions such as this, challenge practicing nurses, as well as students, in to keeping their practice up to date through new information assessments and…

including steam-powered locomotives” (Carl Lira). Such locomotives were steamboats, steam trains and some types of cars. However, steam engines were not only used in steam-powered vehicles. This invention was commonly used in factories and “industrial settings such as mines” (Transportation History). In such mines, these engines could help pumping out water, which would make the mining process much simpler. Although it was used in industrial settings and in locomotives, steam engines created an…

all contributed to the industrialisation of Britain. Coal was a necessary component for the industrialisation of Britain because it was the power source for the first commercially successful steam locomotive. EXAMPLES Thomas Newcomen’s steam engine assisted in the development of the steam locomotive as the main power source, this new invention changed the way goods were transported throughout Britain. CONCLUDING SENTENCE Without these natural resources being available in large quantities…

The first railroad invented that traveled across the country was called the transcontinental railroad. It consisted of 1,907 miles of iron rails, stretching from the Mississippi River all the way to San Francisco by the Pacific Ocean. The railroads provided a way to transport goods quicker and cheaper. It gave states and western settlements more money to buy other things such as coal, or livestock. Those first railroads also opened up jobs for the unemployed living in the western plains. Before…

Many inventions played key roles in American expansion. Canals and railroads set a path connecting towns and settlements. Trains and boats featuring steam engines carried goods needed to sustain life and luxury in these places. The tin can made it possible to transport previously perishable goods. Although all of these made expansion possible, one invention in particular made southerners want to expand; the cotton gin. These inventions catalyzed US expansion in the 1800’s. Canals spread…

Railways were becoming an efficient mode of transportation, developing more and more throughout the 19th century. During the Civil War, steam-powered locomotives could travel up to 60 miles per hour, and they were used to transport everything from food to people. Furthermore, railroads were a crucial part of the Civil War. For example, soldiers could be moved to an area much faster than if they were walking, and weapons and food could be transferred throughout the North and South to keep them…

technological change is here to stay. We know that we are living in the middle of major economic and social change, but how much progress is possible and does it come at a cost to society? In the first part of this series, I will be looking at how the steam locomotive has changed our daily lives. In the last 25 years, small railways have been linked together. This means that travel from one city to another can be part of an average person’s daily routine. Speed and efficiency are words that…

people and could also transport a lot of good that were secured. This would also help transport things quicker making it a lot easier to trade with non-hostile allies. I also wanted to talk about the steam train also known as the steam locomotive. The steam locomotive is the front of the train that pushes all the carts which was powered by burning wood, coal, etc. The steam train would be made in 1801 but wouldn’t be operated till 1804. This helped out a lot because it helped with…

really take for granted where it all began. Once a person has researched these inventions it gives one greater appreciation of todays’ technology because the inventors’ idea and work to create things such as telephones, photographs, moving pictures, locomotives, large buildings with steel, and electrical equipment has made life easier for businesses and everyday living today. According To Historian John Buescher (2010) “There were two technological innovations that profoundly changed daily life…

Technology has advanced rapidly and undeterred over the course of the last few centuries. Along with new innovation comes the thought of not just how we achieved it, but also the societal influences around it. Friedel writes that a large factor in innovation is the “capture” of some innovation(4). He describes capture as “the means by which an improvement becomes not simply an ephemeral, contingent act or product, but part of a sustained series of changes”(4) or in simple terms, normalizing the…
