The big boys were jumping off a cliff into the water and disappearing for minutes at a time underwater. The curiosity began to take over Jerry as he tried to join the big boys in their adventure.

The Phalen test is used to diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome. Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by compression of the median nerve in the carpal tunnel of the wrist. The median nerve provides sensation to the palmar surface of the first 3 1/2 digits of the hand. Severe cases of carpal tunnel syndrome can also present with wasting of the thenar eminences of the hands. The Phalen test is performed by flexing the patient’s…

report to end-user, and 4) discuss their solution and recommendation in the class with other students. For instance, in the senior-level course “Rock Engineering” I provide my students a real tunnel design project and state the problem which is typically stability analysis and determining the optimum tunnel support. I usually divide the students to a number of groups to work on the problem. During the project, groups will analyze the problem, find the appropriate tools, follow the required steps…

The ocean can be an adventure if one wants it to be. “Through the Tunnel”, makes one feel like never giving up with what they want to accomplish in their life. In “Through the Tunnel”, Doris Lessing uses imagery and characterization to convey to never give up on the things that one wants to do in life, because if one gives up, then they will never know what might have happened. For Jerry, a day at the beach turns into an adventure that gives him confidence in himself. Imagery lets one…

In the stories "Sixteen" and "Through the Tunnel" both authors use a theme of characters wanting to prove themselves to someone. However, the differences of these two stories becomes apparent when who the characters are trying to prove themselves to. In "Sixteen" the main character seems to be attempting to prove herself to the reader, that she is smart enough and popular enough to be telling this story. But in "Through the Tunnel" Jerry tries to prove himself to the foreign boys he looks up to…

night correlates directly with carpal tunnel syndrome. In an article by, National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, I read, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Fact Sheet to find out how to improve sleep. Carpal tunnel syndrome is a condition where the median nerve is compromised and creates weakness in the hand. The carpal tunnel is located in the wrist, and is a narrow passage of ligament and bone in the base of the hand. For some people the carpal tunnel area is hereditary and just…

Carpal tunnel syndrome affects the hand and harm, causing numbness, tingling, and a variety of other symptoms. It is caused by a pinched nerve in the wrist. Many factors can contribute to carpal tunnel syndrome such as the anatomy of the wrist, other underlying health problems, and possibly patters of hand use. The carpal tunnel, a narrow passage way that protects a main hand nerve - the median nerve, is located on the palm side of the wrist. Compression of that nerve causes numbness, tingling,…

Hundreds of ideas have been presented for an undersea tunnel that could possibly run underneath the Atlantic Ocean, where trains would reach speeds of over 5,000 miles per hour and the cities of New York and Paris would connect. The journey between Europe and the United States would take less than an hour. As compared to flight these trains, which would run on a magnetic field along the track inside a vacuum tight tunnel, are supposed to theoretically be faster and use electricity as a fuel…
