ASM Final Exam Questions With Correct Answers | Graded A+

Roentgen shares part of his academic path with Albert Einstein: they each won entrance to Zurich Polytechnical School by examination. What disqualified both of these scientists from the traditional enrollment path? - disobeyed the authority of educators What personal attributes or capabilities enhance Roentgen's chances of his scientific discoveries? - - good with his hands - meticulous experimenter - rigid and stubborn, although not lacking imagination or daring - spent endless hours in the lab T or F: Roentgen discovered X-rays on Nov 8, 1895. For the subsequent 6 weeks, he performed a series of experiments to characterize the distance that, and substances through which, X-rays traveled, skipping meals to focus on documenting the novel discovery. His findings were published within 7 weeks and a day by the physical and Medicine Society of Wurzberg. However, it took several years, still, for clinicians to start using the technology. - false - xrays were embraced immediately Describe some underlying personal motivations for Sigmund Freud that you read? - - His mother adored him and gave him the sense that "he was born to achieve something great" which gave him the confidence to succeed later in life. - His father, on the other hand, said the he would "never amount to anything" and Freud still had dreams decades later of proving his father wrong by speaking his accomplishments. How does the work of Freud and Weyer connect? Is there a difference in cultural response between these two time periods? - Both Freud and Weyer's work was focused on human's mental state and brain function. Specifically, they both focused on psychiatric problems, such as hysteria, to explain the very real symptoms of mental illness. In Weyer's time, people and women specifically were seen as crazy and tortured for their mental condition. In Freud's time though, these problems were legitimized and became proper subjects in medical study. One technique that Freud and colleague Breuer became known for is "catharsis", which refers to the process of "tracing [hysterical symptoms back to their] first appearance and re-experiencing theassociated thoughts and feelings" that were experienced the first time. Through catharsis, many clients were able to stop the symptoms from occurring ever again, essentially curing the "hysteria". This process was given a different name by "Anna O.", the first patient who Breuer tried it with. What did she call it? - chimney sweeping In one word, what scientific/medical first is attributed to Ivanovsky? The discovery of: - viruses In 3-4 sentences, tell the story of how Ivanovsky figured out this innovation. - Ivanovsky was analyzing stunted, discolored tobacco plants that he recognized were infected by tobacco mosaic disease. He set out to isolate the microbe that he assumed was causing the disease, but when juice from the infected leaves was put into a filter for bacteria, the agent that spread the disease slipped through the filter which meant the microbe had to be something he couldn't see. After reading Beijerink's discoveries that ruled out bacterial spores, toxins, or particles, Ivanovsky believed that the most likely explanation for these filterable viruses was that "the contagium is contained in the sap in the form of solid particles." In 3-4 sentences, give your impression of Ivanovsky as a scientist and as a person. Address a d
