When it is unable to cool itself, the core body temperature rises rapidly.When the core temperature rises, the brain begins to fail. (The brain can only function in a very narrow temperature range). As the brain overheats, the individual will become disoriented, combative, argumentative and may hallucinate. 4. Due to the growth, change of color and bleeding these are all first signs of melanoma. He should have them looked at by the dermatologist. The Dr. will more than likely take a biopsy of the mole. All potentially cancerous skin growths must be biopsied to confirm acancer diagnosis. Depending on the suspected type of skin cancer, the biopsy techniques vary slightly but crucially. Any potential melanoma requires a surgical biopsy, in which the entire growth is removed with a scalpel if possible. A pathologist then studies the sample under a microscope to determine whether cancer cells are present. If melanoma is diagnosed, other tests may be ordered to assess the degree of cancer spread (metastasis). They include: Imaging. Your doctor will order one or more tests to look for metastasis. They include CT scan, MRI, PET scan, bone scan, and chest X-ray. Other biopsies. Using a variety of techniques, your doctor may want to get tissue samples from lymph nodes. Skin growths that are most likely basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, or other forms of nonmelanoma can...

...Markquice Carson 11-27-12 Portfolio Report Indu/Agri/Mun Pollution Dr. Buckner There are a bundle of problems in America today involving pollution in every from, and this bring about solutions to solving these problems. There are several technologies to manage waste pollution. These technologies include recycling, incineration, and sanitary landfills. This will strictly discuss the problem, Methods/Technology, and Beneficial aspects of Incineration. Incineration is a waste treatment process that involves the combustion of organic substances contained in waste materials. Incineration and other high temperature waste treatment systems are described as "thermal treatment". Incineration of waste materials converts the waste into ash, flue gas, and heat. The ash is mostly formed by the inorganic constituents of the waste, and may take the form of solid lumps or particulates carried by the flue gas. The flue gases must be cleaned of gaseous and particulate pollutants before they are dispersed into the atmosphere. In some cases, the heat generated by incineration can be used to generate electric power. There are several types of incineration technologies: Rotary-kiln, Burn Barrels, Fixed grates the typical amount of net energy that can be produced per ton municipal waste is about 2/3 MWh of electricity and 2 MWh of district heating. Thus, incinerating about 600 metric tons (660 short tons) per day of waste will produce about 400 MWh of electrical energy per day (17 MW of electrical...

...changed forever on November 4, 2008. Anyone watching a television on this important evening knew that everything had changed. Barak Hussein Obama had just been elected the 45th President of the United States of America, and he represented the first African American to ever win this office. To many the election was a fulfillment of Dr. Martin Luther King’s dream for social and political equality for African Americans. Still others, including the newly elected President, reached back to Lincoln. President Obama would also, invoke the founding fathers, giving credit to the social experiment that democracy is and thus hinting to the efforts of Washington and others. The days that followed the Obama election would be filled with symbolism leading to the concert on the steps of the Lincoln memorial, and the day of service, called by the President, in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. the day before inauguration. The election of President Obama seemed to have brought full circle the experiment of democracy. The dreams of the founding fathers were present, the echo of Lincoln’s consequential Presidency were present, and certainly the dreams and speeches of Dr. King were front and center in this cultural moment. Yet the cultural moment represented so much more than a continuum of ideas and dreams of significant men. This moment was one of the first major societal changes in a generation. Perhaps not Ironically, the election of Barak Obama had ripple effects upon social change in the...

...Christina Ninh November 10, 2014 HCA 6225 Fall 2014 Case Study #6 Effective communication is the foundation of any health care team; and conversely, poor or nonexistent communication in a health care setting can negatively impact patient care. Preventing such medical miscommunication means fewer medical errors. And like the Case of Jesica Santillon, deaths occur in the US each year because of medical mistakes; the biggest factor being miscommunication or lack thereof between multiple health care professionals. In the Case of Jesica Santillon, Duke University Hospital, one the nation’s top medical center, transplanted a heart and two lungs into 17-year-old Jesica Santillon in a rare and difficult operation, whose miscommunication resulted in her receiving organs of the wrong blood type, and ultimately an untimely death. Jesica was smuggled by her parents from Mexico to the United States in search of treatment to a life-threatening heart and lung disorder that doctors in Mexico could not fix. Through charity, enough money was raised for her to receive a transplant, however the procedure went wrong and lead to severe brain damage. When informed by the doctors that they planned to stop treatment, her mother announced at a press conference via a translator that “they are taking her off of the medicine little by little in order to kill her. They want to rid themselves of this problem.” It is evident that social and cultural barriers made it difficult for doctors...

...ASME Internal Combustion Engine Division 2005 Fall Technical Conference: ARES-ARICE Symposium on Gas Fired Reciprocating Engines September 11 – 14 ,2005, Ottawa, Canada ICEF2005-1352 Laser Ignition - a New Concept to Use and Increase the Potentials of Gas Engines Dr. Günther Herdin/GEJenbacher GmbH & Co OHG Prof. Ernst Wintner/Technical University of Vienna DI Johann Klausner/GEJenbacher GmbH & Co OHG Josef Graf/Technical University of Vienna DI Martin Weinrotter/Technical University of Vienna Kurt Iskra/Technical University of Graz ABSTRACT Due to market demands aimed at increasing the efficiency and the power density of gas engines, existing ignition systems are rapidly approaching their limits. To avoid this, gas engine manufacturers are seeking new technologies. From the viewpoint of gas engine R&D engineers, ignition of the fuel/air mixture by means of a laser has great potential. Especially the thermodynamic requirements of a high compression ratio and a high power density are fulfilled well by laser ignition. Results of measurements on the test bench confirm the high expectations – with a BMEP of 1.8 MPa it was possible to verify NOx values of a non-optimized system of 30 ppm (70 mg/Nm³ @ 5 % O2) with very high combustion stability. In the meantime, GEJ can look back at 6 years of excellent experience and can see itself as the “technological leader” in the field of laser ignition. Despite this, considerable developmental steps are still necessary to adapt...

...Kakawate Leaf: An Effective Pesticide Worms, bugs and other rice pests are an enigma to many farmers as these are threats to rice production. To most farmers, commercial insecticides and pesticides are the most effective and readily available pest controls. What they don’t realize is that these cost them added expenses not to mention the bad effects of these chemicals to health and environment. Dr. Alfredo R. Rabena, head of the Research and Development Office of the University of Northern Philippines in Vigan City, Ilocos, has discovered a solution. He found that the leaves of kakawate tree or Mexican Lilac (Glinicidia sepium) contains coumarins, an effective botanopesticide. To prepare the solution, chop the kakawate leaves and let these soak overnight to extract coumarins. Using a strainer, separate the leaves from the solution. Spray the solution to the ricefields. The best time to apply it is from eight o’ clock to nine o’clock in the morning and from five o’clock to six o’clock in the afternoon as worms and pests are coming out from the leaves at these times. So the solution would be more effective to use. If applied early, it wouldn’t be that effective as pests are still hibernating. And if used when the sun’s heat is too hot, it wouldn’t be that effective also as pest would hide. Since kakawate is a legume, says Rabena, its leaves are rich in nitrogen, an important soil nutrient. Hence, the discarded leaves can be applied to the field as an organic fertilizer. He also...

...Conflict, Decision Making, and Organizational Design Dr. Cooper Bus 520 Conflict, Decision Making, and Organizational Design Introduction In the era of globalization where businesses have expanded across the globe, competition has increased and has formed a new dynamism in the industry and the market itself. Every company works extra ordinarily to compete with its rivals and sustain its position in the industry. Well planned strategies are developed to give businesses a focused path to follow in order to achieve the aims and objectives of the firm. Labor is the most valuable asset in the whole process. Thus, keeping workers happy and satisfied is a challenge and the most significant task for the leaders of any firm. There are times when employees and employers have conflicts and disagreements over many issues. The following essay is the evaluation of such a case. It will discuss about the conflict, decision making and organizational design of McDonalds. Discussions Before we begin with the conflicts the company faces, and what are the conflict management strategies etc, let’s first discuss the company itself and its human resource. McDonalds Company History The McDonald's Corporation is American global operators who are the presenters of fast food restaurants. It is the top-selling fast food chain in the world. The first McDonald's restaurant was started on 15th May 1940 by the brothers Richard and Maurice McDonald ("Dick & Mac") in San Bernardino...

...agree that conception [they defined fertilization and conception to be the same] marks the beginning of the life of a human being — a being that is alive and is a member of the human species. There is overwhelming agreement on this point in countless medical, biological, and scientific writings." Report, Subcommittee on Separation of Powers to Senate Judiciary Committee S-158, 97th Congress, 1st Session 1981, WHY CAN'T WE LOVE THEM BOTH by Dr. and Mrs. J.C. Willke state that once sperm breaks the egg and fertilizes the egg it is considered to be human being. Even though this is a single cell it is considered an individual human being because no one in history will ever create this cell again. This being is complete, i.e., nothing else — no bits or pieces — will be added from this time until the old man or woman dies — nothing but nutrition and oxygen. This being is programmed from within, moving forward in a self-controlled, ongoing process of growth, development, and replacement of his or her own dying cells. (WHY CAN'T WE LOVE THEM BOTH by Dr. and Mrs. J.C. Willke)? This individual human being prepares its own birthday and helps the mother body prepare for its coming into the world.

...Denise McLemore Dr. Chemishanova English 1060 13 June 2013 Labeling dogs as vicious, based solely on their breed, is an unfair label because the actions of one dog is unjustly generalized to an entire breed; the media uses isolated instances for sensationalism and ratings; and these both combine to provoke reactionary legislation that imposes regulations selectively on these dogs and their owners. May 2nd, 2012 Christine Spain, the mother of Boston police officer David Lanteigne, was unconscious on train tracks in Shirley, MA. The engineer saw a dog, a pit bull named Lilly, trying to pull a woman off the tracks. After the train finally stopped and authorities arrived to find Lilly standing over her owner Christine. Lilly was taken and rushed to Angell Animal Medical Center in Boston. Lilly suffered from some injuries and some trauma to her leg, which eventually had to be amputated. She was rescued 3 years ago prior by her son and given to her to help with her struggle in alcoholism. Her son said, “We saved her life, and she saved my mom’s life” (Phillips). When these dogs become stereotyped as viscous there are so many testaments to show that they are misunderstood and they love their family just like any other breed. There are so many people that are not sure which way is the best way to address this situation. The problem is not the dogs; it is the owners of the dogs. Breed discrimination is not going to fix the problem. Can anyone say that one...

...well as spiritual benefits — the latest, a study from Utah researchers that found that occasional fasts (defined as extended periods of time in which people generally abstain from all food and drink except for water) may reduce the risk of heart disease and diabetes. Google “fasting for health” and you’ll get more than 7 million hits, ranging from doctors who recommend it in their practices to treat a range of diseases, spas that promise detoxifying food-free vacations, and message board postings from devotees who say that fasting makes them feel clearer mentally and more fit. “I fast whenever my body feels like it needs a reboot,” says Yoli Ouiya, 31, a New York City blogger who writes about eco-friendly living. She fasts once every few months. But is fasting a good idea for your health? Possibly, says David Katz, MD, MPH, director of the Prevention Research Center at Yale University. Every day, organs such as the liver, kidney, and spleen work to remove and neutralize toxins from the body to keep our cells healthy. “When you fast, you eliminate input of additional toxins from food,” says Dr. Katz, “and there is a potential biological benefit to that.” Leading researchers and experts share the details you need to know before you forgo food: Your Body on a Fast Thanks to our history as hunter-gatherers, human bodies are equipped to handle periods of not eating, says Benjamin D.

...Entrepreneurial Leadership Hillary Wright The Business Enterprise – BUS 508 Instructor Dr. Jennifer Fleming April 22, 2011 Introduction In the ever-changing world that we live in today, it is important now more than ever for organizations to not only have the best product or service but also to diversify the dynamics of their organization through increased innovation and competitiveness. To be successful in this new age of business, business leaders must emerge ready to lead organizations that face these challenges and uncertainty in multiple dynamic markets (McGrath and MacMillan, 2000). These new types of business leaders are coming to be known as “entrepreneurial leaders.” These leaders are expected to be familiar with the common elements of different theories and philosophies as they relate to the new definition of entrepreneurial leadership along with being able to compare the dimensions of leadership styles within certain organizations. As entrepreneurs, they are privy to a wealth of knowledge, tools and resources that can be obtained from the Small Business Administration (SBA) and the website SCORE. Entrepreneurs are able to use this information to gain an advantage at the start-up of their new business. Hybrid Theory/Philosophy When defining entrepreneurial leadership, it is most widely viewed as a complex style of leading that helps develop and sustain elements of the organizational culture (Bergstrom , 2004). Individuals who practice this style are generally...
