Concentration Cells02:41

Concentration Cells

26.5K
A concentration cell is a type of a  voltaic cell constructed by connecting two almost identical half-cells, both based on the same half-reaction and using the same electrode, differing only in the concentration of one redox species. A concentration cell's potential, therefore, is determined only by the concentration difference of the particular redox species.
Consider the following voltaic cell:

Concentration Cells

A concentration cell is an electrochemical cell in which the emf arises from a difference in concentration of a species between two half-cells. Unlike galvanic cells, where electrical energy comes from a chemical reaction, the driving force here is the transfer of matter from a region of higher concentration to lower concentration. The overall process is therefore physical in nature. A classic illustration is a cell made of two chlorine electrodes operating at different chlorine gas...

Stress Concentrations01:24

Stress Concentrations

816
Stress concentration is when stress intensifies near discontinuities such as holes or abrupt cross-sectional changes in a structural member. This localized stress can often surpass the average stress within the member. The stress distribution in flat bars, either with a circular hole or varying widths connected by fillets, can be determined experimentally using a photoelastic method. The results are based on ratios of geometric parameters like the ratio of the hole's radius to the smaller...

Rural Health Centers
Rural health centers are specialized care facilities in remote locations with very few medical personnel. The primary care providers who run the centers are mostly Registered Nurse Practitioners. Here, emergency treatment is provided to critically ill or injured patients before they are transferred to the closest hospital. Fortunately, due to advancement in technology, many rural healthcare facilities and professionals have easy access to diagnostic and treatment...

Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectroscopy: Principle

2.3K
Inductively coupled plasma (ICP) is the most widely used plasma source in atomic emission spectroscopy (AES), also known as Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES). The ICP source, or torch, consists of three concentric quartz tubes with argon gas flowing through them. A spark from a Tesla coil initiates the ionization of argon, generating a high-temperature plasma.
The ions and electrons produced interact with the fluctuating magnetic field created by a water-cooled...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Scholarly Activity
  • Academic Performance

Background:

  • Many US medical schools offer programs encouraging scholarly activities beyond core curriculum.
  • Outcome data for these programs are limited, necessitating further investigation.
  • Scholarly Concentration (SC) programs are elective and extend beyond traditional biomedical research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the academic performance and scholarly output of students in an elective, interdisciplinary scholarly program.
  • To determine if participation in the SC program impacts academic achievement compared to non-SC students.
  • To evaluate the effect of the SC program on residency specialty selection.

Main Methods:

  • A 4-year elective Scholarly Concentration (SC) program at Brown University was studied.
  • Characteristics and academic performance of SC and non-SC students were compared for graduating classes 2010-2014.
  • Academic indicators included licensing exam scores, clerkship honors, honor society induction, and publication rates.

Main Results:

  • SC students had similar matriculation characteristics and academic indicators (e.g., USMLE scores) as non-SC students.
  • SC students achieved more honors in core clerkships and were more likely to join honor societies.
  • SC students published significantly more peer-reviewed manuscripts (1.3 vs. 0.8 per student).

Conclusions:

  • Elective, interdisciplinary scholarly programs can broaden medical education scope.
  • Participation in such programs does not adversely affect academic performance.
  • These programs do not negatively impact residency placement and enhance scholarly output.
