...In the following report, my colleague and I have discussed the topic of tomography and its application in the form of MRI’s. Now, you may ask what is tomography or what is an MRI? Well tomography is the imaging of an object via sections that are cut up by any kind of penetrating waves, and it truly brings together mathematics with biology and technology. The example of tomography that we will be discussing are MRI’s. Now MRI stands for magnetic resonance imaging, which is a noninvasive diagnostic technique that produces computerized images of internal body tissues via the vibration of protons caused by released radio waves. This is possible because magnetic fields are used to align protons in the body for our radio waves to hit them. Once the...

...PSYCHIATRIC DISORDERS, DISEASES, AND DRUGS Assignment: Psychiatric Disorders, Diseases, and Drugs Mental illness has a detrimental effect on psychosocial functioning of individuals, but Schizophrenia is among the worst. There are many other forms of psychiatric disorders these include, depression, mania, anxiety disorders, and Tourette syndrome. Psychiatrists or clinical psychologists typically treat such disorders (Pinel, 2007, p. 481). Each disorder is unique, and symptoms vary from one individual to the next. In fact, as psychiatrists and psychologists continue to discover new facts about these disorders as they encounter different cases. This paper will discuss the serious mental illness of Schizophrenia; the symptoms, treatment, and medications. The symptoms of Schizophrenia are bizarre and frightening. Persons who suffer from Schizophrenia face a loss of reality, strange behavior, social withdrawal, hallucinations and delusions (Pinel, 2007, p. 482). MSN Encarta (2009) points out that, "A person with Schizophrenia may have difficulty telling the difference between real and unreal experiences, logical and illogical thoughts, or appropriate and inappropriate behavior." These symptoms are sometimes genetically based, which will leave the person with a possible ten per cent chance of developing the disorder is a close relative was afflicted with schizophrenia. Additionally, jumbled thinking is another symptom of Schizophrenia. The person is described as speaking in...

...its new meaning which focuses on the satisfaction of customers' needs and wants. Sales cannot be performed before creating a product. Marketing starts long before a product is created by a company. It encompasses activities carried out by managers in order to assess the wants, define their scope, and find out whether profits are possible or not. Marketing activities continue over the entire lifetime of a product, trying to attract new clients and keep the existing ones by improving the product's quality and appeal, using the insights into sales results and the management of repeated orders. But what is Neuro-Marketing? To understand this, we shall look at the following research, which in a way formed the framework for Neuro-Marketing concepts and Techniques. Montague carried out an interesting research based on the fact that the Pepsi and Coca-Cola drinks have an almost identical chemical composition. They examined the influence of perception on the preferences of...

...The study took place at the Institute for Global Health Technologies in Rice University, Houston. The main purpose of the research is to investigate if chromatography paper can serve as a low-cost medium for accurate spectrophotometric detection of blood hemoglobin concentration (Rebecca et al 2013). Blood samples was obtained through the vein from the participants who gave informed consent. Seven different chromatography papers are used to test the qualitative appearance of uniform spreading of blood spotted on sodium deoxycholate-treated paper and the repeatability of spectrophotometric measurements of these blood samples with high and low hemoglobin concentrations. The results were used to calculate the hemoglobin concentration of samples in each validation set, and the calculated hemoglobin concentrations were compared to the concentrations obtained from HemoCue. HemoCue is known to be the best and accurate method used to detect blood hemoglobin concentration, but this method is expensive. The result of this study shows that blood spotted on paper were correlated with the hemoglobin concentration of the sample obtained with a HemoCue (Rebecca et al 2013). The study showed that chromatography papers can be used to replace HemoCue because it is cheaper and...

Hence there is a need for efficient lossless schemes for medical image data. Several lossless schemes based on linear prediction and interpolations have been proposed. Currently, context based approach has gained popularity since it can enhance the performance of above schemes due to the exploitation of correlation within the frame. Since the conception of Mesh based Compression from early 1990’s many algorithms has been proposed and the research literature on this topic has experienced a rapid growth which is hard to keep track of. This paper gives a brief description about the various coding algorithms and advancements in this field. Keywords- Image compression, prediction, medical image, context based modeling, object based coding, wavelet transform.

...change in the gene frequency in a population through time. Evolution causes an organism’s ability to survive to increase. In many cases, predators evolve to catch their prey more efficiently. Evolution is not one sided. The prey also evolves to avoid predation. In this paper, I will discuss three researches done on a prey’s evolution to survive against predation. I will discuss the tail autonomy in Tokay gecko (Sanggaard et al. 2012), the odorous and non-fatal secretion in Wrinkled frog (Yoshimura and Kasuya 2013), and the avoidance response in Brownbanded bamboo shark embryos (Kempster et al. 2013). Together, these studies show the effectiveness and vital impact of evolution to the survival of prey. Sanggaard et al. (2012) researched evolution in Tokay gecko (Gekko gecko) to investigate the mechanism of their tail autonomy by facilitating autonomy. The geckos were euthanized by pentobarbital and the tails were removed by induced autonomy. Moisture from the exposed end of the tail was collected and subjected to Gel Electrophoresis and Mass Spectrometry and analyzed using MS-BLAST. The tails’ structure was analyzed through multiple methods. Through Magnetic Resonance Imaging, a Micro Imaging 5 probe, a Great 60 Imaging system, a saddle coil, and a gradient cooling temperature of 20°C was utilized. Electron Microscopy and 3D Fast Low-Angle Shot sequence were utilized. Scanning Electron Microscopy was utilized and the tails were observed through a FEI NOVA NanoSEM 600. The analysis...

...Project 2.1.3: Map-A-Brain | Name: Lauren Caplinger Date: Block: Introduction---highlight important info The brain is a truly amazing organ. But while there is a good deal we know about the way it functions, there is still much that is unknown. Neuroscientists have the daunting task of trying to decipher how this one structure can control every aspect of our lives. Over the years, scientists have worked tirelessly to uncover the mystery of the human brain. They have studied the external features of the head, the internal structures of the brain and the effect of injuries on this organ to understand how this one organ is able to control the functioning of every human system. In this activity, you will explore the case of Phineas Gage, a young man who, in the 1800’s, suffered a horrific brain injury and simply walked away. He recovered and went on to live many more years, but his friends and co-workers said he was never the same. Physical wounds healed, but internal damage changed the personality of the man they all knew. His case will introduce you to the way our brain works and to the way in which specific areas of the brain control different parts of our personality and our ability to function. You will also explore the history of mapping the function of the human brain, from early methods based purely on observation to current methods using high-tech scans and measurements. In Activity 2.1.2, you built a brain on your Maniken® and explored the primary...

Coleman University of Phoenix August 29, 2010 INTRODUCTION Schizophrenia is a psychiatric disease that affects the neural basis of the brain. Discussion of the symptoms, the causes and drug therapies for schizophrenic patients will be discussed and covered. Schizophrenia is a mental illness that is yet completely understood. The areas of the brain affected in schizophrenia can not be named by one specific region of the brain. There are a number of regions of the brain that are affected by schizophrenia. Changes reported in the parahippocampal gurus may arise from abnormal neuronal development during formation of the cortex. Additionally, changes have been implicated in the basal region of the temporal lobe, the cerebellum and the mesolimbic system. There are also several regions of the brain that show altered level of function is schizophrenic patients. FMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) studies Is this essay helpful?
