The other day I interviewed the ladies of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority Inc. I interviewed their Historian, because she’s in charge of community service and other events. Sigma Gamma Rho Historian is Tynisha Brown. During the interview I asked her 3 questions to get started. Question 1: How is your organization family involved with the community? o Tynisha: Our organization is family involved, because we are always doing activities or events that the community and families are involve in. We volunteered at Foster Night Out, Literacy Night, Boys and Girls Club, and many more. Our favorite would have to be Bear Crew; we consider that as a family involvement project. Question 2: What are some other ways to get involve with the families? o I feel like the organization can be more involve with the schools more. One of our nation projects is Project Big Bookbag, which we gather school supplies and make backpacks and hand them out to the schools. We love doing the project, but we could do better at going to the schools and read to the kids or something.…
To join a sorority, the potential new members (PNMs) have to gain entrance into the organizations. The idea of gatekeepers is seen in sororities. This entrance revolves around the existing members give approval to the potential new members (Stuber 2011). While some sororities say that not everyone can fit into their sorority, they also claim to be diverse among themselves (Handler 1995). The process to gain entrance to a sorority is sorority recruitment, where the sororities allow new member to…
range and are used when cancer cells are close to the skin. Both types of x-rays and gamma rays penetrate deeper than electrons, however the dose absorbed by the tissue decreases exponentially. For protons, as the depth increase so does the absorption. Unlike other types of particles, the peak for protons is very steep and only for a certain exact depth. The advantage of this pattern in energy deposition is that minimal energy is affecting healthy tissues as opposed to the malignant cancer…
detected by a gamma camera. Radiation such as gamma radiation occur when the nucleus of an atom instable. This occurs when the proportion of neutrons and protons are not lying on the band of stability, which consists of stable nucleus configurations in relation to the atomic number (as seen below). Atoms along the band of stability are assumed to contain enough energy within the nucleus to hold it together. This energy called the nuclear binding energy has yet to be discovered and is just…
One example of a gastric emptying study is an operation that is done by nuclear medicine physicians using radioactive chemicals that examines how fast the food leaves the stomach and goes to the small intestine. Gastric emptying studies are used for checking patients who are experiencing signs of slow and, less commonly, rapid emptying of the stomach. Some signs to watch for are low energy levels, nausea, and heartburn. During a gastric emptying study, the patient eats a meal where the food in…
Radiation is defined as emission of energy in the form of x rays and gamma rays. It is transmitted from one place to another. Ionizing radiation is high energy waves that pass the body's tissue, that produces positive and negative charged particles. These high energy waves remove electrons from atoms and cause an interaction between the x rays and the patient. This process is referred to as ionizing radiation. The amount of energy acquired from ionizing radiation is absorbed into the patients…
disease, the material will concentrate in abnormal regions of the brain. The camera data are translated by computer into two-dimensional images that are recorded on film. A variation of nuclear scanning, called single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), enhances the sensitivity of the test. It utilizes certain radiotracers that emit single gamma rays to evaluate changes in blood flow and other brain abnormalities. Computer methods similar to those employed in CT scanning are then used…
They were well established on the basis of Intermediate Maintenance Activities (IMA’s) and organizational activities. To satisfy the increase in demand for aircrafts the Goldratt Institute formulated a new organizational style, the Velocity approach which is a combination of speed and direction applied to a business model. It is based on the concepts of Theory of Constraints (TOC) – the system architecture, Strategic Design Activate Improve Sustain (SDAIC) – the deployment framework and Theory…
Siemens AG: Key Account Management 1.) What are the key elements of Siemens' key account management program? In 2010, Siemens further developed a strong systematic approach based on the best experiences from the previous programs and developed a general Key Account Management framework, that each sector adapted to its markets and its needs. Siemens’ corporate key account management program had a top-down structure. The Sales Board (made of four sector CEOs) decides which vertical markets the…
De Botton, Alain. The Architecture Of Happiness. New York: Pantheon Books, 2006. Print. The Architecture of Happiness was written by Alain de Botton who is a professional philosopher and so he takes a look at architecture from a different point of view. He considers architecture and its role in achieving happiness and psychological and spiritual satisfaction. He believes that our happiness and our well-being are affected by our surroundings, particularly by the quality of the design of homes.…
