The dichotic listening test is non-invasive‚ and it is just as accurate an indicator of primary language center hemisphere as the sodium amytal test method. Functional brain imaging uses positron emission tomography (PET) or functional MRI to measure brain activity while the subject is performing an activity such as reading; typically‚ functional brain imaging used on language tests reveals more activity in the left hemisphere.

Zero EmissionsSolar energy generated via solar panels (also known as Photovoltaic Solar or PV solar) is one of the most sustainable ways we have of generating energy and electricity today. First and foremost solar panels produce electricity without emissions of any kind. The majority of electricity we use in the United States today is generated from burning coal. Recently there has been a lot excitement around the idea of clean coal‚ but it is important to remember that this technology only exists as

Angel Houston May 2‚ 2012 Will Restricting U.S. Carbon Emissions Damage the U.S. Economy? An important issue affecting the world today is climate change due to the increase in the amount of greenhouse gases that is released into the atmosphere. Greenhouse gases are gases that accumulate in the atmosphere due to human activity and the earth’s natural biological and chemical processes. The four major greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide ‚ methane‚ nitrous oxide‚ and fluorinated gases (U.S. Environmental

Flame Tests Atomic Emission and Electron Energy Levels AES‚ or atomic emission spectroscopy‚ is a method which chemically analyzes the particular wavelength of a sample element to identify and determine the abundance of this certain element. The wavelength of the atomic spectral line unveils the identity of the element while the emitted light intensity is proportional to the number of atoms in the element. The flame test is also a very effective way to identify an individual element. The color

The brain imaging technologies that will be examined are electroencephalography (EEP)‚ functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)‚ magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)‚ and positron emission tomography (PET). These brain imaging technologies are either functional or structural. Functional BIT’s are ones that are used to identify metabolic disease and lesions on a finer scale‚ while structural BIT’s are ones that deal with the structural

To begin with‚ electric vehicles decrease overall emissions by significantly emitting greenhouse gases in the atmosphere since they run on batteries‚ thus reducing air-pollution hazards many might face‚ while still being cheaper than traditional gas-powered vehicles in the long run. Electric vehicles have just begun to become widely popular‚ mainly because statistics show that electric vehicles decrease overall emissions in the air. If Canada‚ the United States‚ and some European countries switch

Positron emission tomography (PET) is another technique used. With the radiation therapy this is the method used to treat cancers‚ to apply this treatment a boron-11 isotope solution is placed within the tumor which bombards it with neutrons; particles are only produced
