Title: Report on Ernest Everett Just Scientist: Ernest Everett Just - Male Date Of Birth: August 14, 1883 He was born in the discriminative conditions of the South and yet, Ernest Everett Just made his way up to become one of the most highly respected scientists of his time, graduating magna cum laude (with very great honour in Latin) from Dartmouth College in 1907, having earned a Ph.D. in zoology from the University of Chicago in 1916, and teaching at Howard University in Washington, D.C. from 1909 until his death in 1941. Just’s key contributions were served to enhance our understanding of the main parts of early biological development. He focused on fertilization, cell division, artificial parthenogenesis, the physiology of cell development, and the effects of dehydration and ultraviolet radiation on cell and chromosome structure. Ernest Just produced ground-breaking research in cell biology at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts. It had been at the Woods Hole laboratories when he’d made and important discovery about cell cleavage, the successive cell divisions leading to the formation of the embryo.
1. What was Francis Henry Galton's major contribution to forensic science? Francis Henry Galton founded the system of fingerprinting. He is an English scientist, biometrician,and explorer whom also founded the science of eugenics. Due to his studies of anthropometric research, fingerprints are still in use to date.
Bell’s patent of the telephone is the single most valuable patent ever issued and it sparked a revolution in communication technology. Bell was born into a family that imbued him with the potential for greatness. His grandfather began paving the road to Bell’s success when he decided to pursue a career in elocution, the study of the human voice and speech. He passed down this legacy to Bell’s father who married Eliza Symonds, an English painter and pianist. Both Bell’s father and grandfather had also developed methods of teaching deaf people how to speak by using illustrations of how to move the lips and tongue.
George Fairholme was a self-educated wealthy landowner who studied geology, geography, fossils, and living creatures. He wrote two books on geology and his studies of the valley systems of England and Europe and the erosion of sea coasts and some of the major waterfalls in Germany and America led him to believe that Noah’s flood did occur around five thousand years ago. John Murray was a highly educated in the science field with nearly twenty scientific inventions. He also authored twenty-eight books and sixty science journal articles on chemistry, physics, medicine, geology, natural science, and manufacturing. Murray is also credited with writing a passionate pamphlet advocating the end of slavery in the colonies.
In 1892, he published the book “Finger Prints”, and it contained the first statistical proof supporting the uniqueness of his method of identification. 2. Who is known as “The Father of Forensic Toxicology” and why? A Spaniard named Mathieu Orfila is considered to be the “father of forensic toxicology” because in 1814, he published the first treatise on detection of poisons, and their effects on animals, thus establishing forensic toxicology as a legitimate scientific endeavor. 3. Name two major contributors of forensic science made by Hand Gross?
Pisarev. Pavlov abandoned his religious career for a life dedicated to science, studying and working tirelessly on a seemingly endless number of projects that would later yield a series of discoveries representing a pivotal turning point in psychological viewpoints. He became obsessed with physiology, which eventually earned him a gold medal for is work on the physiology of pancreatic nerves and ended up being his fundamental area of study. In the Institute of Experimental Medicine, Pavlov did most of his research regarding the digestive system. This research would inadvertently lead to Pavlov’s most famous and well recognized discovery, which brought with it a Nobel Prize in Psychology and Medicine.
“His studies, at a previous period of his life, have made him extensively acquainted with the medical science of the day” (108). Chillingworth has also had “studies in alchemy” (67). On the contrary, Dimmesdale is “a young clergyman, who had come from one of the great English universities” (62). Because Dimmesdale is well educated about the “outward forms of religious life,” he is sometimes referred to as a “heaven-ordained apostle” (109). The two male characters have undergone some drastic changes.
These two, very specific values that exist in each text across time are clearly influenced by the two different contexts of the two different time periods. The novel ‘Frankenstein’ composed by Mary Shelley is a highly acclaimed, highly influential text that has been pulled up and out of the time period that it was written and published in. the period of time that Shelley was living in was a time where science, let alone scientific discovery and scientific endeavour was greatly valued and embraced. The value of scientific discovery is expressed in many, many ways through the text through either of the characters Robert Walton, Victor Frankenstein and the Monster. Throughout the narrative, Victor Frankenstein is developed as the conduit of scientific discovery.
In 1948, he developed a new way to synthesize the hydrocortisone used to treat rheumatoid arthritis - the method most widely used to this day. By the time he died in 1975, his research had resulted in more than 160 separate patents. As one of his tributes, the U.S. Postal Service recognized his contributions to science and issued a 29-cent Percy Julian stamp in 1993. The Julian stamp was part of a black heritage series that also recognized W.E.B.
Abid Ali Professor Peterson WOH 2001 August 10, 2012 Laozi vs. Aristotle Laozi and Aristotle are among the greatest philosophers the world has ever seen. An outstanding researcher and writer, Aristotle provided this world with great body of work, numbering to as many as two hundred treatises. His work ranges from logic, metaphysics and philosophy to empirical biology where he made a significant contribution to marine biology. Laozi, as the name meaning suggests “old master” was an extraordinary thinker and is credited as the founder of philosophical Taoism. LAOZI IS A BELIEVER OF NON-ACTIONG AND LETTING NATURE BE, WHILE ARISTOTLE FOUND THE NEED TO UNDERSTAND AND EXPLAIN THE HAPPENINGS AROUND THE WORLD THROUGH SCIENCE AND LOGIC IN ORDER TO MAKE PROGRESS AND CONTROL THE WORLD.
