.... medical research and diagnosis, signal and image processing, clinical engineering, rehabilitation engineering, respiratory and flow studies. (University of Miami) Biomedical engineering is concerned with the application of engineering and science methods to the analysis of biological and physiological problems, the delivery of health care, and/or industrial applications. (Drexel University) The biomedical engineer serves as the connection between traditional engineering subjects and living systems. He/she may work applying the patterns of living organisms to engineering design or engineering new approaches or products to improve human health and productivit .....

.... years ago when scientists in Sweden and Norway first believed that acidic rain may be causing great ecological damage to the planet. The problem was that by the time that the scientist found the problem it was already very large. Detecting an acid lake is often quite difficult. A lake does not become acid over night. It happens over a period of many years, or even decades. The changes are usually to gradual for them to be noticed early. At the beginning of the 20th century most rivers and lakes like the river Tovdal in Norway had not yet begun to die. However by 1976 local inspectors were noticing that many of the lakes were beginning to show signs of death. .....

.... yielded 1,2-epoxydihydronaphthalene as well as naphthalene. Introduction In 1990, professor E.N. Jacobsen reported that chiral manganese complexes had the ability to catalyze the asymmetric epoxidation of unfunctionalized alkenes, providing enantiomeric excesses that regularly reaching 90% and sometimes exceeding 98% . The chiral manganese complex Jacobsen utilized was [(R,R)-N,N'-Bis(3,5-di-tert-butylsalicylidene)-1,2- cyclohexanediaminato-(2-)]-manganese (III) chloride (Jacobsen's Catalyst). (R,R) Jacobsen's Catalyst Jacobsen's catalyst opens up short pathways to enantiomerically pure pharmacological and industrial products via the synthetically v .....

.... to prove it false. If it succeeds the test, then it is one step closer to being proven true. The more times it is proven true, the higher the probability of it being completely true. Inductively, after it has been proven true a number of times, it has to be true. However, logically, it can never really be proven completely true, since it would take an infinite number of tests to do so. A pseudo-science is similar, in that it has laws. However, these laws are mostly restatements of known facts. For example, in astrology, they make claims about what you are like based on what day you were born. The things they say, however, are things that are statistica .....

.... would be the radial tire belts. Instead of using steel cord, cord replaced it. The results were very satisfying. A reduction in weight meant that the fuel economy was better, and the tires were also much quieter. was the answer to the challenges of designing rubber hoses and belts for agricultural, industrial, and automotive equipment (DuPont). 49 is used in mainly body armor and making architectural structures stronger (Sci. & Inv. Enc., 1354). 49 is mainly made out of coal, corn, air, and water; making it rot and rust resistant. Compared to steel and concrete, 49's psi (pressure per square inch) is 525,000, steel's is 36,000, and concrete's is 3 .....

.... it. Marijuana users are not easily detectable, nor is the drug just used in one area of society. The Indian Hemp plant is found all over the world, including the US. There are three different types of Indian Hemp. They are Cannabis Sativa, Cannabis Indica, and Cannabis Rudderalis. These three plants vary in size and mood altering effect. The hemp plant has many uses and has been farmed for centuries. Marijuana can be taken in three ways, by eating, made into a tea, or smoking (the most popular). Smoking it can be done three ways, through a pipe, a joint, blunt. A joint is a rolled piece of paper that is twisted at the ends. A blunt is n .....

.... allow heat to pass through, but not allow it to escape. The charcoal cubes and shavings will absorb the heat in the box and store the excess heat allowing the flow to continuously warm the oven. The tin foil will reflect heat and subsequently heat up the oven. The polyurethane material will trap the heat inside the oven. The mirrors will help the heat stay inside the box. Materials used: Shoe Box Tin Foil Sheets of Glass Charcoal Cubes and Shavings Scissors Glue Knives Polyurethane Non-Glossy, Black Spay Paint Four (4) Wood Pegs Mirrors Sealer .....

.... you. Even rows of wheat stretch into the distance. You are near a white picket fenced farm with big cottonwoods shading it from the scorching sun. You have just visited a collective farm in the Soviet Union, a Masai village in Africa and Abilene, Kansas, which is located in the U.S. These three places are part of the world’s mid-latitude grassland region. Grasslands are usually found in the interior parts of most continents. The world’s grasslands are vast areas covered with grass and leafy plants. They generally have a dry climate, little vegetation, and most grasslands receive only about twenty to thirty inches of rain each year, with most of it coming .....
