Essays on Glow

Radiology, without which it is impossible to imagine modern medicine, was born with the discovery of the penetrating radiation made by German physicist Roentgen. This industry has largely contributed to the development of medical diagnostics. As any other industry, its development was revolutionary and has been infuenced by modern technologies. Today, X-ray diagnostics gets a new development. Using age-old experience of traditional radiographic techniques and armed with new digital technologies, X-ray diagnostics is still a leader in diagnostic medicine. In 1894 German physicist Roentgen (1845 - 1923) launched an experimental study of electrical discharges in the glass vacuum tubes. ...

At times, one can see many animals out in the night with their eyes glowing green or yellow-green in color. In all kinds of light and media such as nature films, photographs, flashlights and even car headlights, the greenish glow in the eyes of many animals is clearly visible. Human eyes, on the other hand, give off a red glow when exposed to the flash of a camera. The greenish glow in the eyes of many animals such as cats, dogs, deer, cattle and horses is mainly because of a special kind of reflective surface that lies behind the ...

Abstract

The uses of radiation revolutionized medicine when experimentation on its potential applications begun. X-Ray technology, discovered by Wilhem Roentgen, is currently used as a common tool for diagnostics; Henri Becquerel, Marie Curie and Pierre Curie dedicated themselves to further investigations in the field, discovering additional radioactive materials (polonium and radium); radiation therapy is a popular treatment for cancer. This paper analyzes the historical background behind these two applications of radiation in the medical field. Moreover, the different types of radiotherapy are described (external-beam radiation therapy, internal radiation therapy). The concept of radiation homeostasis, which is the notion that low-dose ...

English astronomer W. Herschel discovered planetary nebulae in about 1783. Nebulae received the name "planetary" on account of their external similarity with the images of distant planets, light wheels of which are different from the point images of the stars. “A planetary nebula is a beautiful object created during the final stages of the life of a star whose birth mass was between 1 and 8 solar masses” (“Planetary Nebulae”). A planetary nebula is an astronomical object consisting of an ionized gas shell and the central star, a white dwarf. All planetary nebulae originate from stars that are in ...

Radiography can be defined as the science of making film records from X-rays, also known as radiographs of the human body’s internal anatomy, by exposing a film that has been sensitized to electromagnetic radiation to the body. It is with these photographs that a record is made out of the findings which are used for examination in the diagnostic processes (Hertrich, 2005). It was formally referred as ‘plain’ X-rays but was switched to the use of electromagnetic radiation because it is the suitable general term that covers the other types of medical imaging like ultrasound. Radiography is usually ...

Invented and patented by Thomas Edison in 1879, the incandescent bulb comprises of a wired filament placed inside a glass bulb (“The History”). When electricity is provided to the filament, it heats up thereby making the bulb glow and emit light (“Incandescent, LED”). The wired filament of the incandescent bulb was initially made using carbon obtained from a cotton thread that was uncoated. This filament gave the bulb a lifespan of just 14.5 hours. Later, the carbon filament was made using bamboo, which gave the bulb a longer lifespan of up to 1200 hours (“The History”). Much later, in ...

“The expression of ampicillin resistance and luciferase enzyme genes by E. coli transformation using the pUC18 and lux plasmids” Abstract The transformation process allows the uptake of DNA from the environment, with the incorporation and expression of genes. During this process, changes in the DNA of the receptor cell occur, producing some selective advantages in some cases, such as resistance to antibiotics. pUC18 and lux plasmids were used to determine the transformation process in Escherichia coli. Cells were made competent by the addition of calcium chloride and heat shock in order to induce the incorporation of the ...

Introduction

Through their activities, commercial organizations generate waste that contributes to climate change. Although effort is being made to limit human impact on the environment, the commercial waste is still one of the major problems for the environment that results into climate change. Electric energy is an important resource that is wasted across most commercial organizations. Further on, the wasted resources facilitate climate change. This paper argues that commercial organizations’ wasted electric energy contributes to the climate change.

A Supernova is typically the resultant of the explosion of a star. It occurs when a there is a change in the core or the center of a star. Supernovas burn only for s short period of time, but they enable scientists to discover many things about the universe. For instance, a kind of supernova has led them to discover that the universe is constantly expanding and growing and that too, exponentially. They also help to distribute elements all around the universe. It so happens that if a star explodes it throws out debris and star’s elements all ...

Blackbody radiation is an example of electromagnetic radiation which is emitted by opaque or black body. In this case, the environment of the body is in the thermodynamic equilibrium with the radiation. The radiation has an intensity which is proportional to the heat of the body. This is best illustrated using Hertzsprung-Russell diagrams. They describe the chromacity of the blackbody radiation. The heat is emitted through a hole on the surface of the body. The productions of colors which are pigmentary in nature are produced by differential absorption of wavelengths which are visible. This is undertaken by pigment molecules. On ...

Introduction

Every year, very many workers all over the world are injured, adversely affected or even die from the radiations emitted from the production processes in various industries. This has raised concern for the industrial hygienists, since radiations have posed a threat to the workforce and the community in general. Ionizing radiation has the most damaging effects to human health. Therefore, protection against such fatal radiation is necessary: the workforce should be protected as well as the community. Generally, radiation is the means through which energy travels from one point to another. Other definitions define radiation as an energy that ...

Infected Mushroom Concert

Music was already playing inside, though it was not Infected Mushroom’s music and the band was not yet on stage. People were steadily crowding in, and many were already dancing with various colored glow sticks. I had my camera with me and people were happy to let me take their pictures as they danced. The band’s name glowed on the background of the stage in fervid red and green colors, not reminiscent of Christmas colors, but more of psychedelic fungi. The crowd was made up mostly of young adults. The band obviously has a very wide range of ...

1.0 Introduction In an effort to move towards cleaner sustainable technologies, Philips, the Dutch based electronics company, has designed a microbial home project. The project envisions homes where traditional waste is recycled to address sustainability issues. As part of this project, Philips designers have developed the “bio-light” concept in which bacteria are made to produce a green glow when fed with methane gas that is derived from household waste digesters. The bacteria in this case create light in the similar way that living organisms like glow worms and fireflies do through a phenomenon known as bioluminescence . The bacteria produce the light ...

Introduction

Tanning seems to be the latest trend in recent years, whether “artificially” at tanning salons, or naturally from sun exposure enjoying a day at the beach or by the pool. Many people tan with hopes of obtaining that “natural glow” without giving thought to how this exposure is affecting them. Some of the artificial methods used for tanning include; tanning beds, tanning lotions, tanning pills and tanning sprays. Natural tanning (from exposure to the sun) as well as tanning by use of tanning beds depends on exposure to UV rays which are divided into UV-A and UV-B. The rays penetrate ...

Abstract

Lemons have a lot of electrolytes, in form of citric acid. This acid assists in breaking down the atomic configuration of the copper and zinc plates that is placed in the lemon during such an experiment. Once the copper and zinc has been broken down, electrons are liberated. The copper and zinc then become electrodes. Electrodes permit the electrons to flow liberally through them. These free electrons habitually flow from negative electrode to positive one. In this experiment the copper is the positive electrode and the zinc is the negative. The movement of these electrons are computed in the lighting ...
