- 231: The Differences and Similarities of Pneumonia and Tuberculosis
- ... of treatment will depend on whether the patient has inactive or active tuberculosis. To diagnose active TB the doctor will look at the patients' symptoms, and outcomes of the skin test, sputum tests, and chest x-rays. A person has active tuberculosis when their immune system is weakened and they start to exhibit the signs and symptoms of the disease. They also have positive skin tests, sputum tests and chest x-rays. When this occurs the treatment is more intense. The disease is treated with at least two different types of antibiotics in order to cure the infection. Within a few weeks the antibiotics will build ... Lung Association, 1996). Inactive tuberculosis is when a person is infected with the tuberculosis bacteria, but their immune system is able to fight the infection, therefore only showing a positive skin test and a negative x-ray and sputum test. The patient may be infected but they are not contagious which means the doctor will start a preventative treatment program. This program includes the use of the drug isoniazid for ...

- ... Against the Machine has many of Ginsberg's poems and words show up in their songs. For instance the song 'Bulls on Parade' includes Ginsberg 'Hadda Been Playing on the Jukebox' (www.charm.net)" Generation X writers are compared to the Beat writers. Many people say that the "generation coming to age has the potential to bring a new vision to society. The Beats thumbed their noses at the corporate world just like Generation X does today. (www.altx.com/io/beatgeneration.html)" Many writers of Generation X have been influenced by the writing like Andy Clausen, Eliot Katz, Geoffrey Manough and Ed Sanders. There are many writers that have been influenced but have not been included in the Generation X section. ...

- 234: Jurassic Park: The Novel vs.The Film
- ... older sibling. In the film, Lex is shown as the older, computer literate sister. This, I believe is to signify a woman's role in modern times. Another example is the death of mathematician Ian Malcolm. In the film, Malcolm escapes in much the same manner as Hammond. In the novel, a broken ankle inflicted by the escaped T-Rex was his downfall. This difference occurs I believe because of the impact that the novel is attempting to deliver. In the film, Malcolm survives due to the fact that entertainment is the theme. Families watching the film want to be entertained and happy at the end, this is clearly not the way the novel concludes. The biggest ...
- 235: Rodin's "The Kiss"
- ... 15) Since bronze is an alloy, we do not know the exact composition of the bronze used in “The Kiss” first hand. We can discover what metals actually comprise this bronze and their percentages through X-ray fluorescence. For instance, some bronzes contain nickel and some contain aluminum while others do not. We can also fin the hardness of the bronze by finding the percentage of copper used in “The Kiss.” This would be interesting to discover because this could give us an idea of the incredible sculpting ability of Rodin. X-ray fluorescence qualitatively analyzes the elements that exist in objects containing inorganic compounds. X-rays are emitted on to the object, which eject electrons from the inner orbital shells of the atoms. Radiation is then emitted when electrons in higher energy orbitals drop to fill a hole in ...

Another world famous DJ "crew" is the X-men. Their origination came in the 1980s to battle another New York area group called the Supermen. The X-men consist of Mr. Sinista, Roc Raida, Total Eclipse and Rob Swift. They are self described as "the over-qualified but under-appreciated blue-collar superheroes of hip-hop" (Zen). The X-men not only try to elevate the turntable art, but are also concerned with the place of this art form in the music history books. The X-men are billed as the crew to ...

In Cartesian coordinates, the tangent of the angle i Is the ratio of the v-coordinate divided by the x-coordinate of point P (x, y) on the circumference of a unit circle, where the radius makes an angle i with the positive x-axis. Chapter 5: Kinematics & Dynamics Kinematics is the branch of physics concerned with the description of motion. “The standard way to describe motion is to give the position of an object as a function ...
- 240: Rosalind Franklin
- ... 26th birthday. Further, Franklin had given up her fellowship to become a physical chemist at the British Coal Utilization Research Association at age 22. She was indeed an efficient and driven researcher. Franklin utilized the X-ray diffraction techniques (that she has become most famous for) while working in a Paris laboratory between 1947 and 1950, with crystallographer Jacques Mering. X-ray crystallography helped determined the three dimensional structure of DNA when Franklin returned to England. She became the first person to find the molecule¡¯s sugar-phosphate backbone while working with a team of scientists ... Had it not been for a cruel twist of fate, I believe that Franklin would have published first on DNA structure. She was the best in her field when it came to DNA analysis through X-ray diffraction. Franklin innovatively found a way to isolate an extremely fine X-ray beam and arrange her superfine DNA fibers into parallel bundles. She took her research to a higher level by analyzing ...
