...Samantha Orlando December 5, 2015 Period 6 word count: 1454 “JESUS:The Complete Story” This essay talks about the early years, the mission, and the final days of Jesus’ life. Into further detail, in the early years its talks about Gabriel, mary and her parents, anne and Joachim, Joseph, etc.. In the Mission it talks about the baptism of jesus, Temptation in the desert, Cana miracle, etc… Lastly in the final days of Jesus’ life it talks about Caiaphas, pontius Pilate, Sanhedrin, Judas, Peter, the Last Supper, etc.. In the early years, Gabriel appeared to mary and announced that she would have a son who would be named jesus and who would be called the son of god. Anne and Joachim are the names of the parents of mary, the mother of god. There is no historical evidence of their true names but we get it from the gospel of James. It says that after years of childlessness, and angel appeared to tell anne and Joachim they would have a child. Anne promised to dedicate this child to god. Joseph was engaged to Mary but not married at the time of Jesus’ birth. After Jesus’ birth, Joseph and Mary had to return to their ancestral homes for registration, bethlehem. The angels warned Joseph of Herod's plans to murder the young children of Bethlehem. So Joseph and Mary took the baby jesus to Egypt and live there until Herod died. Shortly before Jesus was born, the Roman emperor Caesar Augustus decided that a census be taken through ...

...FLEXIBLY DIVIDED DOUBLE LUMEN ENDOTRACHEAL TUBE Viren Sunil Kalsekar, Joy Lee, Jenny Qiu, Nicholas Ragosta, Javier Ramos, David Taylor Massachusetts Institute of Technology Cambridge, MA, USA ABSTRACT Endotracheal tubes (ETT), are used to maintain patient airway access during surgical procedures. The design presented here addresses a current need of the gold standard ETT by allowing for the passage of a larger bronchoscope through the inner lumen of the ETT while keeping outer dimensions constant. This design incorporates a flexible membrane with a wavy geometry to ensure a return to the neutral axis, thus allowing for even ventilation of both lungs. Flow tests simulating surgical ventilation conditions were conducted. These results confirmed that adequate air flow could be obtained independent of any pressure differences across the membrane. Tests of the prototype also confirmed that maximum instrumentation diameter was increased through this design when compared to a commercially available ETT with identical outer dimensions (35 Fr). Finite element analysis was conducted to determine the necessary thickness of the membrane for a safe design. One key design feature of the membrane is that its state of maximum deflection (2.1mm) does not significantly hinder airflow through the smaller lumen. Tests to further evaluate the functional requirements of safety and ease of use are currently under way. Methods of manufacturing this design are also under investigation. Keywords:...

...Organization structure wise, the lumen team and absorb team are quite similar. Each team has a team leader, a team focused on marketing and commercialization, and a team of technical experts. The members of these two teams all seem to have substantial amount of industrial experience and technical competency. However, the two teams differ greatly with regards to the motivation level of the individual team member, efficiency and productivity, and teamwork environment. These differences are mostly caused by the different leadership capacities that the team leaders possess. From the exhibit 5, we can see that whereas the lumen team is leading among all the CCE teams, Absorb team is clearly lagging behind. Exhibit 6 further confirmed that motivation of Absorb team is lower than that of Lumen at multiple fronts. This gap is however can not be explained by individual personal traits as demonstrated in the exhibit 7, in which we can see that the average trait intrinsic motivation indexes are similar between these two teams. This low level of the motivation in Absorb team certainly contributes to the lack of productivity and efficiency of the team, albeit having more headcounts than the Lumen team. One of the contributing reasons is that the performance management in Absorb team is dysfunctional. A good performance management has to have a number of features such as common understanding, clear expectation, help improve capability and increase commitment. Chip, as the team leader, does...

...1. The Lumen and Absorb teams are in very similar circumstances but differ dramatically in their intrinsic motivation. How did these differences come about and what were their effects? From all the diary notes and the survey data the major factor causing such a big difference between Lumen and the Absorb team motivation level and as a result their performance. This factor is the team leaders’ behavior and style of management in each of these teams. The team leader or manager being a main role player in both teams has shaped the performance and motivation level of the team members and has led Lumen to be a successful and lively team, while the Absorb to a directionless and aimless team. The absorb team’s some members had also been together in a team previously, but there is no such an indication that they had underperformed in their previous teams, while now they are finding their team leader an authoritarian leader who instead of encouraging their hearts is looking by himself as what is right and what is wrong. He seems to be applying the Old management model which is to get things done in his own way rather than letting his team choose the way they do things, so that they feel motivated doing it. Let us look at the definition of team to understand if they were team in its modern sense of meaning. The Lumen team is a flat team with an effective communication system of the whole team members and the flow of information among the members including the team leader. The consent...

...between the two elite technology development teams at Crutchfield Chemical Engineering in terms of motivation and creativity? The Lumen Team is obviously much more motivated and creative than the Absorb Team. This situation is created by the leadership styles of the team leaders. Max is showing very effective leadership while Chip is acting like a mere manager rather than a leader. Although trait motivation levels are similar in both teams, Chip kills all the motivation and creativeness of his team members with his insensitive, close minded and destructive attitude. We can see this from electronic daily diaries of the two teams. The Lumen Team members are highly motivated and very eager to innovate and improve inspired by their team leader, Max. However, the Absorb Team event don’t know exactly what their schedule is for the project. 2. From the electronic daily diaries what are the differences in team leader behavior, team members’ thoughts and behaviors and team dynamics? In the Lumen Team, Max allows each member to work independently on a different aspect of the project which support team members’ confidence in performing a task which in turn leads to a better performance. However, in the Absorb Team, Chip micromanages his employees and this decreases the confidence level of team members as well as their performance. In the Lumen Team, Max is very sensitive towards his team members. We can see that in Day 1 diary. Max is open to suggestions and insights of his...

...For the exclusive use of V. Chugh, 2016. 9-804-118 REV: JULY 5, 2007 TERESA M. AMABILE ELIZABETH A. SCHATZEL The Lumen and Absorb Teams at Crutchfield Chemical Engineering Realizing that his next appointment would be starting momentarily, Paul Burke hurriedly attempted to tidy up his somewhat chaotic desk. The meeting was going to include discussion of some troubling data he had recently received, and he wanted space for spreading out and making notations on the charts. It was April 2003, and Burke was in his sixth year as director of the Polymers Department in the Corporate Technology Development (CTD) division of Crutchfield Chemical Engineering (CCE), a large, international chemicals and fibers manufacturer. CCE was in the last stages of a companywide downsizing that had resulted in an 18% reduction in force over the past six months. At 52, Burke had seen a number of prior downsizings and other organizational upheavals in his years at CCE and other firms in the industry. He was well aware that, following such changes, employee morale and performance often suffered initially but soon rebounded. However, a recent Human Resources (HR) survey and his own observations had led him to become particularly concerned about drastic differences among his five research and development (R&D) teams in both motivation levels and performance. Wishing to reverse what seemed to be a dangerous trend, he had engaged organizational psychologist Joanna McKinty, an external...

...According to the survey conducted by McKinty which gauged the daily intrinsic motivation of each team member across all the 5 teams by using a set of qualitative and quantitative questions. There was a sharp difference between two elite technology development teams in terms of creativity and motivation, mostly attributed to the efforts of respective team leaders, Lumen possessing a transformational leader whereas Absorb had more of transactional leader . After ten days’ worth of electronic daily diaries collected from all individuals of the two teams, the study enlightens about team leader behaviours, team member thoughts and behaviours, team dynamics, and project progress. Relating to Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs When we relate the performance of the Lumen team to the motivation theories, we can see that the team derived from their work confidence, sense of achievement and respect for each other. They also felt a sense of belonging and were empathetic about each other’s emotions. The work challenges enhanced their creativity and hence increased their motivation levels. Conceptualizing Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, Lumen team’s belonging and esteem needs were fulfilled and they were moving into actualization phase which justifies the high level of motivation and creativity in the team In contrary, Absorb team had a lot of insecurities among the team partially due to the downsizing phase and there was sort of disconnect with lead Chip and they were not much enthuastic...

...The Lumen and Absorb Teams at Crutchfield Chemical Engineering Case Introduction: We would like to give a brief outline of the Crutchfield chemical engineering company (CCE). This company is a U.S subsidiary of PPQ worldwide industries it was acquired in 1996 by them. It’s main line of business is speciality chemical lines and has been replacing this with engineered lines for a variety of products. CCE was in the last stage of a companywide downsizing that had resulted in an 18% reduction in work force over the past six months. In CCE there is a department called Corporate Technology Development (CTE) division. The mission of the CTE is to develop new technologies and products that could yield significant new revenue in new markets over the next five years. This CTE division consists of three departments, with one of the departments being the Polymer’s department which was under Paul Burke, who was the director of this department. This Polymer’s division was sub-divided into five project teams each with their own specific mission, team leaders and members. (They were all research and development teams.) An HR annual study of the skill sets, performance, work environment and motivation of each of Paul Burke’s research and development teams was done. The study contained good and bad news. The good news being that even though CCE had downsized the work force Paul Burke had still nearly managed to keep all the top and qualified performers in his department. The bad...

...Brightex Technologies recently had their own flashlights as well as 3 other flashlights which are sold with the 1000+ lumen claim tested from the Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL). The 1000 lumen flashlights all had the T6 LED, while the two products from Brightex had U2 LEDs. The results from the independent, non-profit organization proved that the lumen output of the T6 flashlights stands at a dismal average of around 325 lumens. That is a whopping 675 lumens off the mark. Brightex flashlights, both of which used U2 LEDs, were found to be brighter with a lumen output range of 600-700 lm. Incidentally, the company never claimed to offer more than this. The results of the tests can be found on the website of Brightex. But, you may be getting less than 300 lumens from your flashlight! Remember that the flashlights tested were among the more popular products in their category, yet the claims made by their manufacturers fell flat when tested by an independent body. The very first thing that you need to understand is that no single LED bulb currently available offers 1000 lm brightness for a portable, battery operated...

...Abstract – Atherosclerotic plaque is the major cause of coronary heart artery diseases. Heart artery plaque layer analysis is one of the most important and challenging problem, which can be determined by using Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) Cross Sectional images, which is an excellent ultrasound study system for extracting and to easily identifying the plaque layer by using the shape parameter measurements. This paper presents and elucidates the new approach to find out the coronary artery plaque with the help of the artery cross sectional layers determination, which are adventitia, media, intima and lumen layers. This system measures the layer’s performance to make the clear way to identifying the plaque layer, which proposes a new method...

...increase rate of respiration, meaning they require more glucose and oxygen (if aerobic) and need to primarily remove more carbon dioxide as well as lactic acid (if anaerobic). The first way this is done is by secretion of the hormone adrenaline into the bloodstream. Adrenaline in blood is picked up by chemoreceptors in the aortic arch, impulses are then sent to cardiac control centre (in the medulla oblongata) via sympathic nerve which increases heart rate. Adrenaline (epinephrine) facilitates greater cardiac output, meaning a greater volume of blood pumped into the systemic circuit, carrying more oxyhaemoglobin. Adrenal gland also secrets norepinephrine (a different hormone), which causes the blood vessels to constrict (narrowing of lumens) the increases blood pressure. When the cardiac control centre in the medulla oblongata receives nerve impulses it sends a nerve impulse to the SA (Sino-Atrial) Node, which sends the wave excitation across both atria causing atrial muscles to contract (atrial systole) forcing blood through bicuspid and tricuspid valves. The wave of excitation (electrical impulse) hits the AV (atrio-ventricular) Node. This sends the wave down the septum through the bundle of his and purkinje fibers, which then hits apex of the heart and spreads round ventricle muscular walls causing them contract. This is called ventricular systole, causing bottom to top contraction forcing blood into arteries (pulmonary artery & aorta) through aortic and pulmonary...

...The Endomembrane System A system of interconnected membranes (also known as the cytomembrane system) that fills the cell interior and connects the cell boundary with the double membraned organelles - nucleus, plastids and mitochondria. The phospholipid bilayer forms the basis for both outer and internal membranes. Thus while the Plasma Membrane, the outer-most cell membrane is an integral component of the cell boundary, its numerous convoluted protrusions into the cell interior and its connectivity with cytomembranes also allow it to be considered a part of the endomembrane system. The endomembrane system organizes the eukaryotic cell into numerous specialized functional domains, that are recognized as different organelles. Major endomembrane derived organelles of the plant cell are: Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Golgi bodies Peroxisomes Vacuoles Endosomes Autophagosomes Outer Nuclear Envelope http://www.illuminatedcell.com/cytomembranes.html Endomembrane System and Golgi Complex | Endomembrane System and Golgi Complex | The endomembrane system is a collective term applied to all of the membranes in a cell that are either connected with or are derived from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), including the plasma membrane but not the membranes of chloroplasts or mitochondria. The membrane-bound organelles considered to be part of the endomembrane system are the vacuole, nuclear envelope, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi complex, and various types of vacuoles. ...

...can infect people. Bacteria can also spread to food, if people don't wash their hands thoroughly after using the toilet meaning it can be spread from person to person. The symptoms of cholera include; extreme diarrhoea (as much as a litre an hour), vomiting for hours on end, and may also lead to dehydration and electrolyte imbalance which could then cause death. This is because the cholera bacterium produces a toxin, which affects chloride ion exchange. The toxin causes the chloride ion protein channels in the plasma membranes of the small intestine epithelial cells to open; the chloride ions then move into the lumen of the small intestine, this build up of chloride ions lower the water potential in the lumen. Consequently water moves out of the blood, across the epithelial cells and into the lumen by osmosis, the increase of water secretion in the lumen results in a high amount of water being lost from the body, which is what causes the symptoms. Ways to prevent cholera spreading would be; proper sewage systems, treating water, hygiene such as washing hands after using toilet and preparing food, also covering food which may come into contact the bacterium. The quickest way to replace fluids in the body would be through a drip however not everywhere has access to drips, so cholera can be treated by methods such as oral rehydration therapy. Which involves a solution drink containing large amounts of salts (sodium and chloride ions) and sugars (glucose and sucrose) and...

... Epithelial Cells: Squamous Cells: Squamous epithelial cells are thin and flat, this allows them to have a large surface area that is exposed to the lumen on two sides, one is the apical surface and the other is the basement membrane. The cells have a larger elliptically-shaped nuclei meaning the nucleus is flat and thin instead of round like they are in other cells (plant and animal cells), and the squamous cell is also one cell thick. Squamous cells are bound together by tight junctions, which have formed a barrier which is important to the function of the cell. Squamous cells have a function of filtration and diffusion. As the squamous cell is thin and only one cell layer thick, this means that it makes it easier for movement across the membrane and through the cell for small molecules. But, molecules such as Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide diffuse across the cell freely according to the concentration gradient on the other side of the cell. So if they is more of one molecule on one side then they will move to the side with less of that molecule to even out the balance. Ions use protein channels to diffuse across the cell determine the function of the tissue. So, this means that the Squamous Epithelial cell determines what molecule is able to move from the lumen to the bloodstream and from the bloodstream to the lumen. Epithelial Cell: Ciliated Cells: The ciliated epithelial cells are a rectangular shape and they have 200-300 cilia, which are hair like protrusions...
