Book excerpt: Richard E. Dean is a small-town Michigan boy who grows up to become an accomplished and skillful surgeon. His story moves from ponies and rural adventures of a bygone era to agricultural studies, a stint in veterinary school, medical school, surgical residency in Detroit and a notable career as a dedicated surgeon. Along the way Dean meets the love of his life and begins a family and medical practice only to be drafted into the Army and deployed to Vietnam in a busy MASH unit. Later, he joins a surgical practice in Cincinnati and is instrumental in the development of a kidney transplant program there. Dean is recruited by Michigan State University to join its new community-based medical school in Grand Rapids as the director of its surgical residency. Rising quickly through the academic ranks, he becomes the chairman of surgery, a position he holds for 17 years. Because of his personal involvement in numerous innovations and technical advances in surgery and surgical education, Dean has been the recipient of many professional awards and honors.

Download or read book Ossman Steel s Classic Household Guide to Appalachian Folk Healing written by Jake Richards and published by Weiser Books. This book was released on 2022-08-01 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A long-treasured but forgotten classic of folk healing, with an introduction and commentary by the author of Backwoods Witchcraft and Doctoring the Devil. Ossman & Steel’s Guide to Health or Household Instructor (its original title) is a collection of spells, remedies, and charms. The book draws from the old Pennsylvania Dutch and German powwow healing practices that in turn helped shape Appalachian folk healing, conjure, rootwork, and many folk healing traditions in America. Jake Richards, author of Backwoods Witchcraft and Doctoring the Devil, puts these remedies in context, with practical advice for modern-day “backwoods” healers interested to use them today. The first part contains spells and charms for healing wounds, styes, broken bones, maladies, and illnesses of all sorts. The second part includes other folk remedies using ingredients based on sympathetic reasoning, including sulfuric acid, gunpowder, or other substances for swelling, toothache, headache, and so on. These remedies are presented here for historic interest, to help better understand how folk medicine evolved in America. It is Jake Richard’s hope that reintroducing this work will reestablish its position as a useful household helper in the library of every witch or country healer.

The title begins with mathematical background and then considers innovative approaches to physical modeling, analysis and design techniques, providing a robust knowledge of modern self-healing composites with commercial applications. - Covers composite fabrication from polymer, nano oxides, epoxy and plastics - Gives detailed examples on how self-healing composites may be used - Provides readers with a robust knowledge of self-healing composites - Presents a unified approach to these human-friendly, commercially valuable materials
Download or read book Self Healing Construction Materials written by Antonios Kanellopoulos and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-12-08 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a thorough overview of all techniques for producing self-healing construction materials. Construction materials (cement-based, bituminous, metals, and alloys) are prone to cracking, which with the progress of time can lead to compromising of the structural integrity of critical infrastructure. Self-healing materials form a new class of materials that have inbuilt engineered properties to counteract damage and repair it before it becomes critical. The methods for monitoring, modeling, and assessing self-healing are also reviewed. The final section of the book discusses the future outlook and potential extension of self-healing concepts to other materials (e.g., heritage structures and soils).

Download or read book Self Healing Composites written by Guoqiang Li and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-09-23 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, the self-healing of composite structures with shape memory polymer as either matrix or embedded suture is systematically discussed. Self-healing has been well known in biological systems for many years: a typical example is the self-healing of human skin. Whilst a minor wound can be self-closed by blood clotting, a deep and wide cut needs external help by suturing. Inspired by this observation, this book proposes a two-step close-then-heal (CTH) scheme for healing wide-opened cracks in composite structures–by constrained shape recovery first, followed by molecular healing. It is demonstrated that the CTH scheme can heal wide-opened structural cracks repeatedly, efficiently, timely, and molecularly. It is believed that self-healing represents the next-generation technology and will become an engineering reality in the near future. The book consists of both fundamental background and practical skills for implementing the CTH scheme, with additional focus on understanding strain memory versus stress memory and healing efficiency evaluation under various fracture modes. Potential applications to civil engineering structures, including sealant for bridge decks and concrete pavements, and rutting resistant asphalt pavements, are also explored. This book will help readers to understand this emerging field, and to establish a framework for new innovation in this direction. Key features: explores potential applications of shape memory polymers in civil engineering structures, which is believed to be unique within the literature balanced testing and mathematical modeling, useful for both academic researchers and practitioners the self-healing scheme is based on physical change of polymers and is written in an easy to understand style for engineering professionals without a strong background in chemistry

Download or read book Healing Without Medicine written by Albert Amao and published by Quest Books. This book was released on 2014-05-02 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a man thinketh, so is he—thus is the biblical King Solomon often quoted by proponents of New Thought, one of the most influential native religious movements in America. Albert Amao provides an engaging and serious history of this and related movements from the eighteenth century to the present. His discussion ranges from Phineas P. Quimby, the father of New Thought, and Mary Baker Eddy, founder of Christian Science, to Myrtle Fillmore, cofounder of Unity Church of Christianity, William James, the father of American psychology, and leaders in the emerging field of Energy Psychology. Amao’s aim is to provide a rational explanation of the power of thought to heal the mind and body. All methods of mind/spiritual healing are self-healing, he says; we all have an inner capacity to heal ourselves. He examines cases of contemporary New Thought leaders who self-healed from “incurable” diseases free of medicine, and he describes the mechanism that triggered their healing. Their experiences have benefited millions of followers worldwide. The beauty of New Thought, says Amao, is that it empowers us to become conscious co-creators of our well-being and achieve success in other areas of life beyond recovering our health.
