X-Acto

CT scanners and X-ray machines are extremely similar in relation to the absorption and display of x-rays as they are both able to display bone. However, an x-ray is usually done when dealing with bones rather than a CT scan as x-rays can detect denser materials better. When the x-ray is being done a black photographic film is placed behind the part of the body that is being scanned and when the x-ray beams hit this part of the body, the bones block the x-ray beams meaning the blocked image is…

Second semester of senior seminar consisted of a more hands on approach compared to the first semester of senior seminar. Second semester’s final project gave us a wide range of options for what our project could be.

We were allowed to choose between various forms of work, ranging from a research paper to public…

Kyurstina, your discussion board addressed a lot of the issues facing diversity in the workplace today. I especially enjoyed the section which discussed the age difference between employees. One of my favorite classes that I have taken through Liberty spent a lot of time discussing the generation gap between employees. In order to fully understand it, one must understand the mindset of the eras. For instance, it has been stated that Baby Boomers, those born between 1946-1962, live to work;…

Radiologic technologists are the human services authorities who execute symptomatic imaging systems, for example, X-beam examinations, attractive reverberation imaging (MRI) filters and processed tomography (CT) checks. Some of them focus on unmistakable techniques, for example, cardiovascular-interventional radiography, mammography or sonography. Radiologic technologists are responsible for situating patients and ensuring that a quality symptomatic picture is created…

Radiology Research paper Scientist Wilhelm Roentgen accidentally discovered X-rays while studying the pathway of electricity. He realized this when he saw objects in the picture that wouldn’t usually appear in a normal photograph. Roentgen’s discovery was soon after, advanced further by Dr. Harvey Cushing in the first diagnostic clinical X-ray. 1902 was the first year they were used for ground breaking brain surgery, he used the technology to view and assist removing malignant and non-malignant…

Interview with former “abandoned” Kids Jack: Where do you live? Why? I live in London, because it’s nothing like that horrid island with death all over it. Plus, it’s where my job is. If you don’t mind me asking, what is your job? I’m the manager of Merridew Butchering Factory. When I was in that island 16 years ago, I was butchering pigs. I only did that because my father was a butcher and I wanted to be just like him. It’s a family business. (pauses) In that island I wanted to provide for…

story by mentioning other elements that changed when expose to extreme temperatures, ending the chapter with a discussion on yttrium (Y) and neodymium (Nd). In the seventeenth chapter, starts with Donald Glaser, the drunk who was interested in bubbles. Surprisingly, Glaser won a Noble Prize at the age of Thirty-three after he switched his research from bubbles in beer to bubbles in liquid nitrogen (N2). Kean also mentions Ernest Rutherford, who was interested in radioactivity. Rutherford mimic…

Within the article “A Reassessment of the Relationship Between Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr.,” Vanderbilt University professor Lewis Baldwin (1989) underlines that despite the obvious dissimilarities regarding love and hate, separatism and integration, and especially violence and nonviolence, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King both played significant roles in the transformation of American ideology, society, and politics as they shared a complete devotion to the liberation of the oppressed…

Malcolm X is certainly one of the most controversial figures to be engaged in any movement for Civil rights. In large part, the discord and confusion about what he advocated can be attributed to the fact that he was a contemporary of Martin Luther King. In the study of the Civil Rights Movement, Martin Luther King tends to overshadow any other Civil Rights leaders during the time and his teaching non-violent resistance and civil disobedience is considered the gold standard for what social…
