Schizophrenia affects one in a hundred Canadians at some point in their life. This disorder is characterized by auditory hallucinations, delusions, lack of motivation and thought disorder. Antipsychotic drugs improve some of these symptoms, but there is no cure and the cause of schizophrenia is still unknown. Current models suggest that a brain lesion in-utero, in conjunction with neurodegeneration, may result in the symptoms of the disease. These processes may result in abnormal brain function, manifested as changes in brain metabolism.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), or nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (N Magnetic Resonance Imaging), is primarily a medical imaging technique most commonly used in radiology to visualize the internal structure and function of the body. Magnetic Resonance Imaging provides much greater contrast between the different soft tissues of the body than computed tomography (CT) does, making it especially useful in neurological (brain), musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, and oncological (cancer) imaging. Unlike CT, it uses no ionizing radiation, but uses ....etc

MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING (MRI) SIMULATION
ON A GRID COMPUTING ARCHITECTURE

Abstract
In this paper, we present the implementation of a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) simulator on a GRID computing architecture. The simulation process is based on the resolution of Bloch equation in a 3D space. The computation kernel of the simulator is distributed to the grid nodes using MPICH-G2. The ....etc

THE TACOMA BRIDGE FAILURE

INTRODUCTION
.The Tacoma Bridge was 1810m long suspension bridge located in
Washington State, near Puget
Sound .
.It carry the state rout 16 across the Tacoma narrows between Tacoma and Gig Harbor.
.It stretched like a steel ribbon across Puget Sound.

. It was the 3rd longest suspension bridge at that time in the world .

ABSTRACT

Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is a phenomenon occurring at metal surfaces(typically gold and silver) when an incident light beam strikes the surface at a particular angle.Depending on the thickness of a molecular layer at the metal surface,the SPR phenomenon results in a graded reduction in intensity of the reflected light.Biomedical applications take advantage of the exquisite sensitivity of SPR to the refractive index of the medium next to the metal surface, which makes it possible to measure accurately the adsorption of molecul ....etc

At an interface between two transparent media of different refractive index (glass and water), light coming from the side of higher refractive index is partly reflected and partly refracted. Above a certain critical angle of incidence, no light is refracted across the interface, and total internal reflection is observed. While incident light is totally reflected the electromagnetic field component penetrates a short (tens of nanometers) distance into a medium of a lower refractive index creating an exponentially detenuating evanescent wave. If ....etc

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imaging

INTRODUCTION
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance is better known as NMR.Generally used for Imaging of the human body.The device which Images the human body using this principle is called a MRI or Magnetic Resonance Imaging Device.Principles of NMRAccording to the electromagnetic theory, any nucleus such as a hydrogen proton which possesses a magnetic moment attempts to align itself with the magnetic field in which it is placed. This results in w ....etc

Abstract”
In This paper investigates the impact of a STATCOM operating in a phase imbalanced mode on damping sub synchronous resonance in series capacitive compensated transmission grid. Phase imbalance has the potential of reducing the energy exchange between the electrical and mechanical sides of turbine-generator and, therefore, damps the sub synchronous oscillations resulting from series capacitive compensation.

Abstract
In this seminar We discuss combined ultrasensitive magnetic resonance force microscopy (MRFM) with 3D image reconstruction to achieve magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with resolution <10 nm. The image reconstruction converts measured magnetic force data into a 3D map of nuclear spin density, taking advantage of the unique characteristics of the resonant slice that is projected outward from a nanoscale magnetic tip. The basic principles are demonstrated by imaging the 1H spin density within individual tobacco mosaic virus particles sit ....etc

Four different styles of daytime running lights exist. These include low-beam headlights, dimmed high beams, steady burning lights and dedicated DRLs. European countries tend to lean towards the usage of the low-beam headlights that stay on consistently once the car engine is running. Scandinavian countries were the first to implement the dedicated daytime running lights which work differently from the steady burn lights which run constantly without a manual switch. The dedicated DRLs work independe ....etc
