Who Cares: Sources of Information About Health Care Products and Services.pdf
Taken from Introduction: With so many sources of health information at your fingertips — many of them online - it can be tough to tell fact from fiction, or useful health products and services from those that don’t work or aren’t safe.
What is a Mechanical Engineer?.pdf
Mechanical engineering is a profession requiring specific skills. These skills are acquired through education, training and experience. Throughout high school, students must enroll in certain courses as preparation for acceptance into engineering programs at a college or university. A solid foundation in mathematics, science and the language arts is critical.
Strong mathematics preparation includes algebra, geometry, trigonometry and calculus. Chemistry, biology and physics form the basic science foundation. Ability in oral and written communications is important to success in mechanical engineering studies, and courses in mechanical or computer-aided drafting/drawing and other technology-related subjects can help students begin to understand the important practicalities of technological projects.
Students can enhance their studies and enrich the overall learning experience by entering science and technology fairs and design competitions, and by joining clubs or career groups devoted to engineering and science. Some clubs sponsor day trips and similar excursions to companies, laboratories and industrial facilities, where students can meet engineers in actual work environments.
Influenza Report 2006.pdf
Taken from Preface: Thirty years ago, infectious diseases were seemingly on the decline.
Tuberculosis was defeated, small pox was about to be eradicated, sexually transmissible diseases could easily be treated, and other scourges of mankind, such as malaria, were expected to disappear one day. Some experts hilariously announced that we would soon be able to close the book of infectious diseases once and for all. Of course, that was before the beginning of the AIDS pandemic in 1981, and before the discovery of the hepatitis C virus, as well as many other viruses capable of causing severe disease in humans.
Human memory is permeable and porous. A quick look at medical history would have sufficed to understand that infectious diseases have accompanied humans ever since they opted for a sedentary lifestyle. While we are today better prepared to prevent and fight off infectious diseases, we are nonetheless condemned to coexist with them. In a world with an increasing potential for the rapid spread of pathogens – overcrowded cities, high mobility – the role of efficient infectious disease task forces can therefore not be overestimated.
The Ethics of Genetic Engineering - A Position Paper from the Center for Inquiry Office of Public Policy.pdf
Taken from the third page: THE ETHICS OF GENETIC ENGINEERING: Just as the twentieth century was a golden age of computing, the twenty-first century is the DNA age. The silicon age brought about dramatic changes in how we as a species work, think, communicate, and play. The innovations of the computer revolution helped bring about the current genetic revolution, which promises to do for life what computing did for information. We are on the verge of being able to transform, manipulate, and create organisms for any number of productive purposes. From medicine, to agriculture, to construction and even computing, we are within reach of an age when manipulating the genetic codes of various organisms, or engineering entirely new organisms, promises to alter the way we relate to the natural world.
