For example, a deadline to apply for a scholarship can be easily missed if it is not posted to the community at a proper time. As a result, and for better and faster communication among the geological society of Africa, the GSAf will use a Gmail group ([email protected]) to facilitate the communication between society members. Some advice and rules: Since any member can post and all the members will receive your message, please do not overload the society by un-related news. Post only important news that wants immediate action from members. Improper messages can lead its owner to be blocked from posting.

    THE MANY STEPS and EVOLUTION in the DEVELOPMENT of COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY TECHNOLOGY and IMAGING METHODS, the QUEST for ENHANCED VISIBILITY the First Fifty Years

    MEDICAL PHYSICS INTERNATIONAL Journal, Special Issue, History of Medical Physics 4, 2020 THE MANY STEPS AND EVOLUTION IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY TECHNOLOGY AND IMAGING METHODS, THE QUEST FOR ENHANCED VISIBILITY The First Fifty Years Perry Sprawls Emory University and Sprawls Educational Foundation, www.sprawls.org. USA • Abstract— Computed Tomography (CT) is considered the second most significant contribution of physics and technology to medicine following Roentgen’s discovery and introduction of x-ray imaging, radiography. CT is an x-ray imaging process but greatly extends the scope of structures, functions, and conditions within a human body that can be visualized for medical diagnosis. Compared to radiography CT provides two major advantages, It is a tomographic method that provides close viewing (within millimeters) of objects and locations within a human body without interference from overlying body sections. The second value is its high contrast sensitivity, the ability to produce visible contrast among different soft tissues, even when enclosed within a dense bony skull. The production of CT images is a sequence of two distinct phases. The first is scanning an x-ray beam around a patient body and measuring the total attenuation along different pathways through the slice of tissue that is to be imaged. This produces a data set consisting of large number (1000s) of measurements. The second phase is a mathematical process of calculating, generally referred to as “reconstructing” a digital image from the acquired data set. Allan Cormack, a physicist, first developed a mathematical process for calculating the distribution of x-ray attenuation values throughout a simulated body section.

For instance, UCT researchers often work in pristine lab conditions, but they also work just as hard to build close working relationships in townships like Masiphumelele outside Cape Town. This helps them to better understand diseases like tuberculosis (TB) and HIV/Aids, how these two conditions affect each other, and how these diseases affect community members’ lives. I had the privilege in February of cutting the ribbon on UCT’s new Aerobiology TB Research Facility in Masi – a community with a high incidence of both HIV and tuberculosis, and greatly in need of the innovative approach to TB control that the new facility will provide.

THE CONTEXT THAT REQUIRED INITIATION OF THE PRACTICE This is an attempt to develop the ability to think divergent in the context of teaching learning science by students at the secondary level. Contributions made by scientists and their enthusiasm can be greatly influence secondary school children. When the prospective teachers under my guidance when trained a work related to the days of importance in science was under discussion when unit 1 of 04.08 Theoretical Bases of Teaching Physical science made in the classroom. Only few days were known by the students. Then we decided to prepare a material in a compiled form about 365 days of importance in science as part of academic work done to be done by the Physical Science Association of 2017-18 batch. As it is two- year course students from 2017-19 batch and 2016-18 batch together contributed to this work. This was a huge work done within a period of nine months from 2017 December to 2018 August. Even though it was started in the year 2017 it could be completed in 2018. OBJECTIVES OF THE PRACTICE To develop interest in science To enhance the knowledge in the field of history and inventions in science of student teachers To develop comprehensive report writing ability and editing materials for compilation THE PRACTICE The information regarding days importance in science and it will serve as a source of information for anyone who is interested in science teaching and learning.

    Curvature Detection by Integral Transforms

    DISSERTATION Curvature Detection by Integral Transforms Thomas Fink Dissertation eingereicht an der Fakultät für Informatik und Mathematik der Universität Passau zur Erlangung des Grades eines Doktors der Naturwissenschaften Betreuer: Prof. Dr. Brigitte Forster-Heinlein Prof. Dr. Uwe Kähler Passau, Mai 2019 iii Abstract In various fields of image analysis, determining the precise geometry of occurrent edges, e.g. the contour of an object, is a crucial task. Especially the curvature of an edge is of great practi- cal relevance. In this thesis, we develop different methods to detect a variety of edge features, among them the curvature. We first examine the properties of the parabolic Radon transform and show that it can be used to detect the edge curvature, as the smoothness of the parabolic Radon transform changes when the parabola is tangential to an edge and also, when additionally the curvature of the parabola coincides with the edge curvature. By subsequently introducing a parabolic Fourier transform and establishing a precise relation between the smoothness of a certain class of functions with the decay of the Fourier transform, we show that the smoothness result for the parabolic Radon transform can be translated into a change of the decay rate of the parabolic Fourier transform. Furthermore, we introduce an extension of the continuous shearlet transform which addition- ally utilizes shears of higher order. This extension, called the Taylorlet transform, allows for a detection of the position and orientation, as well as the curvature and other higher order ge- ometric information of edges. We introduce novel vanishing moment conditions of the form R g( t k )t mdt 0 which enable a more robust detection of the geometric edge features and ex- R § Æ amine two different constructions for Taylorlets.

If we expect students to learn appropriate competencies and skills, we must structure the learning environment so that these can be addressed and practiced. For this, appropriate pedagogic practices and episodes of teaching and learning need to be evolved besides keeping track of child’s interests and needs. Graphic organizers are shape-based diagrams that organize students’ thoughts. Graphic organizers help students sort, differentiate, show relationships, make meaning, and manage data quickly and easily before, during, and after reading and discussion. This method is can be adopted as an effective method of instruction. Our students use graphic organizer based instructional strategy during their teaching practice course. The prospective teachers know the effectiveness of this approach as they learnt through this method during their course of study.
