HISTORY OF COMPUTERS The abacus was an early aid for mathematical computations. Its only value is that it aids the memory of the human performing the calculation. A skilled abacus operator can work on addition and subtraction problems at the speed of a person equipped with a hand calculator. The abacus is often wrongly attributed to China. In fact‚ the oldest surviving abacus was used in 300 B.C. by the Babylonians. The abacus is still in use today‚ principally in the far east. A modern abacus

Computers – An Introduction A computer is defined as an electronic device that accepts input‚ processes it as per the given instructions and produces meaningful output. The term computer is used to describe a device which is combination of electronic and electromechanical devices. It is derived from the word “Compute” which means Calculation. “Charles Babbage” is known as the father of the computer. Data and Information Data refers to raw facts that are gathered and fed to the computer. A computer

The bone sample has been soaking in vinegar with a pH of about 3.0 for a little over a week. The exterior of the bone remained intact the entire time. Once I removed the bone‚ I realized that the interior integrity of the bone was compromised. Now that the bone was exposed to the acid for such a long period of time‚ it was more flexible. The reason the long bone became so bendable is because the bone is largely made up of calcium salts. The vinegar broke the calcium phosphate down‚ leaving only collagen

In his story‚ Bradbury uses the changing symbolism of the bones to represent the difficulty of change for Mr. Bittering. Mr. Bittering was reluctant to stay on Mars and wasn’t prepared to deal with the change that moving would bring. Mr. Bittering started to notice subtle differences in his wife‚ children‚ and food‚ especially when he started to “[feel] his bones shifting and shaping‚ melting like gold (6)”. His bones are a structure that Mr. Bittering relies on to protect and hold him‚ but they

Abstract Bones protect our organs from potential damage. The fracture can occur in any bone of the body like wrist‚ ankle‚ hip‚ rib‚ leg‚ chest etc. This Paper Present the detection and segmentation of bone fracture using Fuzzy-c Means and Multilevel wavelet algorithm. Bone Fracture detection has become a research area in the medical imaging system. Bone fracture detection helps in finding the fracture in the various body parts like hand‚ leg‚ and rib fracture etc. The system is consisting of four

osteogenesis (DO) is a method that Dr. Steve A. Sedaros uses to treat selected defects and malformations of the facial and mandibular bones. Distraction osteogenesis (aka bone distraction) can be used to widen the jaw by gradually moving the bones. IS DISTRACTION OSTEOGENESIS A NEW TREATMENT METHOD? Since 1903‚ bone distraction has been used to successfully manipulate the long bones of the human skeleton. Then‚ in the 1950s‚ Dr. Gabriel Ilizarov worked to perfect the method to address deformities and correct

A comparison and review of bone regeneration methods after periodontitis Periodontitis is a very serious oral illness which can ultimately lead to the loss of teeth. The gums get inflamed due to all kinds of bacteria in the plaque surrounding the teeth. The first stages of this disease are reversible and are actually stages of gingivitis. The inflammation that occurs can be reversed by extra attention to (the) oral health‚ brushing teeth and interdental hygiene. However‚ when this does not get any

HISTORY OF COMPUTERS Ancient era Suanpan (the number represented on this abacus is 6‚302‚715‚408) Devices have been used to aid computation for thousands of years‚ mostly using one-to-one correspondence with fingers. The earliest counting device was probably a form of tally stick. Later record keeping aids throughout the Fertile Crescent included calculi (clay spheres‚ cones‚ etc.) which represented counts of items‚ probably livestock or grains‚ sealed in hollow unbaked clay containers.[1][2]
