Mr. Cordell Reed was the vice president of the Commonwealth Edison Company of Chicago. He developed improvements to the methods of producing nuclear electrical power. Mr. Reed worked his way up through the ranks and became an executive in 1975. He represented ComEd in a 1995 trade mission to South Africa before he retired in 1997.…
RINT Task 1 The Changing Nature of Science Part 1 Evolution of the Atomic Theory Ancient Greece •Democritus (c.470-c.380) suggested “just like the beach looks like a single substance so might all the matter be made up of tiny granules of matter” •He named those granules atoms (“atomos”- indivisible) •His ideas were forgotten for the next 2000 years…
He had a twin brother named Tommy who was a scientist that was involved in a highlevel…
The Life of Frederick Winslow Taylor Frederick Winslow Taylor was an important figure the Progressive Era because of his life changing actions. He deserves a place in history because he helped alter the way American workers get the job accomplished. He developed scientific managements to help increase work production and to work more effectively on working grounds. Without his wise lessons, it would have taken a toll on American workers and decrease manufacturing.…
William Harvey was a British physician who did what all good modern scientists are taught to do; which is upon coming across an inexplicable phenomenon, compose a hypothesis, research, collect data, devise a theory, then share this information with fellow scientists. . He obtained a Doctor of Physic diploma from the University of Padua in 1602.…
George Westinghouse - invented a compressed air brake that became an important safety feature for the railroad industry, and worked with Nikola Tesla to develop a transformer to transmit Alternating Current over long distances…
I enjoyed Neil deGrasse Tyson’s article, “What Science Is -- and How and Why It Works,” because of the way in which he described the scientific method and the meaning he placed behind it. “Do whatever it takes to avoid fooling yourself into thinking something is true that is not, or that something is not true that is.” This quote calls for scientists or people who use the scientific method when collecting data such as statisticians to remain objective with their findings and tests and not be swayed by personal beliefs. But, as I have found, this standard, by which the scientists are supposed to carry themselves, is not similarly held by second-hand sources that interpret the data. For example, “Income, Poverty, and Health Insurance Coverage…
Though science is often considered a field for those who want concrete answers and find speculation something beneath them, John M. Barry reveals quite the opposite. Through this passage, Barry shows his reader through numerous rhetorical strategies that scientific research is actually a field for the daring and courageous willing to be left unsure of most answers and rely on faith that someday their work will yield something of importance on the subject.…
He is well known for creating the heating system for New York's famous Radio City Music Hall and Rockerfeller Center. He invented about 30 things dealing with heat and ventilation. Like stream trap, vacuum heating system, method of heating, regulating radiator valve, and etc.…
* Thomas Edison, the “Wizard of Menlo Park,” created the 1st research lab in New York…
American techno-scientific innovations were treated as extremely powerful components during the World War II and most of their undertakings were not subject to disclosure. The dramatic “high-tech” sector was instrumental in fighting during World War II. For example, a project known as Manhattan was launched to help in the creation of atomic weapons. The Manhattan project was both a direct and massive result of a stunning technological and scientific breakthrough. This project contributed to the administration of nuclear chain reaction through a team of scientists in various universities in 1942. Following a direction by the US Army and other several private contractors, engineers, scientists, and developers joined hand to build nationwide complex of laboratories. These laboratories carried various test to help them manufacture atomic fuels and also in fabrication of atomic weapons. Through this network, various…
The day that William Crookes was born (born on the 17th of June, 1832 in London) questions to the world were being thought of but only one man could answer those questions and that man would be William Crookes. William Crookes was most definitely one of the most influential scientific minds that the world has ever experienced. At first William felt that organic chemistry was the path to his life; although. When he discovered the element thallium his world was changed and the extremes of the universe opened up to him. The thought of creating this extravagantly intricate element, thallium made Williams head race like a speeding bullet. William Crookes was motivated by the possibility of creating a new element, causing him to do what ever it took for him to be able to get there; no matter the vicissitudes.…
The collaboration of data, analyzation of data, and open sharing of the data, creates an environment where multiple researchers and scientists may be able to openly and effectively communicate their ideas and findings. Having access to supercomputing technologies, without having to be in one specific location in order to access/use these, has positively impacted the research community. By using this new approach, Dr. Schadt is now capable as well as others, “to collaborate with others who want to use this technology for their research (Tom).” Exploring methods that have worked or haven’t worked, positively impact the research community as the widespread sharing of information is a valuable asset.…
Readings above 90/60 and below 120/80 indicate that the pressure in your arteries is considered normal for most adults. However, in some cases, a systolic blood pressure 110 can be associated with dizziness when standing. This is more likely to happen to older adults or to people who usually have a much higher blood pressure.…
