These aren’t just statistics, but people just like us who have suffered and died from a preventable disease; Encephalitis. My name is Jarrah McLoskey, and I am an English historian specialising in disease outbreaks. My colleagues are German virologist Dr Nuria Olive, Dr Maigan Wilson from Australia, and Sarah Moore, a US public health official. We are here to inform you about this worldwide disease, and to propose a national strategy to reduce the occurrence and prevent the spread of…
What is bladder cancer? Bladder cancer is a disease in which malignant cells forms in the tissues of the bladder wall. The bladder is the organ that stores urine.1 What causes bladder cancer? Scientists do not completely understand the causes of bladder cancer; however, there are some risk factors associated with its occurrence like: • Age (the risk of bladder cancer increases with age.

Cancer, a disease that claims the lives of millions of individuals each year. Almost everyone in the world seems to be familiar or knows a loved one or friend with cancer these days. Cancer is so common that nearly 7.6 million people die from it around the world each year, and the number is progressively getting larger. The main question in today’s time is “Why doesn’t everyone get cancer?” Studies show that lifestyle, genetic disposition, and chance are reasons that people do get cancer.…
Haemochromatosis is a genetic disease that causes its victims to store too much iron in their body. This is a very serious problem in today’s society, yet I do not feel that there is enough recognition for it. It’s not recognized as widely as cancer, but if left untreated, it can grow to be just as serious. I believe it should be recognized as widely at cancer, because it is just as dangerous. This disease is important because it can and will do major damage to the body if left untreated.…
Capture and Storage , 2013). This proves that carbon dioxide takes a significant amount of time to disappear. If the amount of carbon dioxide continues to persist, the Earth may be facing dangerous climate change. In order to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases, particularly carbon dioxide, a few organizations such as the International Energy Association has propose on developing a carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology. This report is aimed to survey on carbon capture and storage (CCS)…
The problems facing humanity today include the melting of arctic sea ice, the potential ocean stagnation, the mass displacement of humans from coastal cities, extreme droughts, to super storms. All these problems arise from global climate change stemming from the emittance of greenhouse gases. Some people believe these climate changes are not affected by human behavior, and that changes to reduce greenhouse gas emissions do not need to happen. I believe we don’t have time to wait and see if…
could look at just a few aspects of the physical computer itself to improve our lives. One would be the computer’s memory. With endless memory you could store and travel with all the data and software you could possibly need. Another would be a mass storage devises. Today we can carry, in our pockets, the data that was stored in whole building just a few decades ago. Now with just a push of a button, a rocket can be launched, ICU units are monitored to support life and we can now communicate…
Question 3: a) What is the main use of stepper motors? In essence, stepper motors are applied in motion-control positioning system. For instance in 3D printers, disk drives, intelligent lighting, scanners, CNC machines, printers, camera lenses, plotters and slot machines. b) What are the similarities and differences between a reluctance, a permanent magnet and hybrid stepper motors? The three motors are similar in that, they all have power electronic control that comes with electronic…
