Cryobiology

In Physics, Cryogenics is the study of the Production of Very Low Temperature (Below −150 °C, −238 °F or 123 K) and the Behavior of Materials at those Temperatures. A person who studies Elements under Extremely Cold Temperature is called a Cryogenicist. Rather than the Relative Temperature Scales of Celsius and Fahrenheit, Cryogenicists use the Absolute Temperature Scales. These are Kelvin (SI units) or Rankine scale (Imperial & US units). Cryogenics: The Branches of Physics and Engineering that

Cryonics Cryonics is one of the best methods of long term stabilization of a critically ill person, who is seeking to be cured by future medicines. Throughout the history of cryonics there have been repetitive discourses whether substance obsession can be viewed as a trustworthy or even predominant option. Cryopreservation of people or large animals is not reversible with current innovation, the expressed method of reasoning for cryonics is that individuals who are viewed as dead by law may not

Most of what I remember of my life is tainted with a glistening, crude feeling that overwhelms all my senses. My memories are filled with fondness, but, at the same time, underneath, in the core, is an unimaginable feeling that cannot be described by any other words than a shadowy torment. It was not immediate, and I have not experienced it my entire life, but all that I remember of my life is filled with it. It is a pain so twisting, so cruel, that it has unraveled my entire life. My life did

Genetic Engineering and Cryonic Freezing: A Modern Frankenstein?      In Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, a new being was artificially created using the parts of others. That topic thus examines the ethics of "playing God" and, though written in 1818, it is still a relevant issue today. Genetic engineering and cryogenic freezing are two current technologies related to the theme in the novel of science transcending the limits of what humans can and should do.   Genetic engineering is widely

Mind transferring requires an in-depth understanding of how the brain works, interactions between the original and the virtual counterpart, and a stimulated world for the virtual consciousness. Dvorsky doesn’t believe that mind transferring would be possible due to lack of knowledge about the consciousness, or how to map out a stimulation to understand complex thoughts that humans have. And if we tried to experiment with this, wouldn’t subjects be injured during the process? In SOMA, a game that

To Build a Fire Essay In the short story To Build a Fire by Jack London, London uses the minor character, the dog, to display the common sense and wisdom that the man in the story lacks. The actions by both the nameless man and the dog prove that, during the battle of man versus nature, survival instincts should be heard and followed. Acting unreasonably in such conditions along the cold Yukon trail, where the story takes place, is nothing else but a death sentence. To overcome nature in this situation

My day began early with clear skies and a vibrant alpenglow on the towering mountains. Along with thirty incoming Colorado College students, my co-leader, Margaret, and I departed for Pike’s Peak unaware of the weather and medical emergency that was to follow. Our packed white van crept toward the summit as snow began to swirl around us. When we made it to the summit at 14,114 feet, the flurries became a full-blown blizzard. Colorado College introduces students to the next four years of their life

Overconfidence and Arrogance in To Build a Fire by Jack London Overconfidence and arrogance led to the death of the man in Jack London's "To Build a Fire." This overconfidence in his own abilities led to him making poor decisions and scorning the advice of those who know what they are talking about. Instead, he laughs at the old man after he tells him "a man should travel with a partner" (1769) and goes out into the frigid weather anyway. He knew that it was 75 degrees below zero and that

Chief Joseph was the leader of the Nez Percé, a Native American tribe that occupied the Wallowa Valley. In 1877 the United States ordered the Nez Percé to move to a reservation in Idaho. Chief Joseph resisted all efforts to force his tribe to the reservation, and began to lead his people towards Canada. General Oliver O. Howard, threatened the tribe with a cavalry attack. Over the time frame of four months, Chief Joseph and his group marched toward Canada, bearing the freezing temperatures. The

I woke up. Everything around me was blurry, and dark. I was awfully hungry, and I had a tube in my arm. I had no idea what was going on. All of a sudden, an alarm was going off somewhere around me. My ears rang with loud, annoying sounds. A flurry of lights came on, one after another. A doctor rushed in. "You're awake..." I tried to respond but nothing came out of my mouth. "Please," the doctor said. "Don't try to speak. We have you on special equipment that prevents that. NURSE! CODE BLUE!"
