    16. Renal Physiology

    Frontiers of Biomedical Engineering (BENG 100)Uploaded 18-11-08Professor Saltzman introduces the basic concepts of renal physiology. Professor Saltzman first introduces the function and anatomy of the kidney. Special attention is given to the cell types and structural aspect of the nephron, the functional unit of the kidney. Filtration, secretion of toxic waste, and reabsorption of water, ions, and nutrients through the glomerulus and various segments of the nephrons is discussed in detail. Finally, Professor Saltzman describes glomerular filtration rate as a function of pressure drop, which is regulated by afferent and efferent arterioles, to control how much volume being filtered through glomerulus.00:00 - Chapter 1.

    4.3 | How Satellites Talk: Radio Waves | Rocket Science for Everyone with Yale’s Marla Geha

    Ever wondered how satellites, orbiting thousands of miles above, manage to communicate with Earth? In this lesson, we explore the critical system of satellite communication, revealing how electrical power is harnessed to enable two-way interaction. We'll uncover the essential role of radio waves, understand why they are uniquely suited for space communication, and delve into the global system of frequency allocation that ensures every satellite can transmit and receive data without interference.Uploaded 28-08-25🎯 Learning Objectives• Explain the fundamental principles of satellite communication, including ground stations and onboard systems• Describe the role of radio waves in transmitting information and their place in the electromagnetic spectrum• Justify why radio waves are preferred for satellite communication over other wavelengths of light• Understand how information is encoded onto radio waves using modulation techniques (AM/FM)• Discuss the importance of frequency allocation in preventing interference among numerous satellites and other radio users📚 About the CourseThis course is an intuitive introduction to rocket science in our everyday lives.Modern life increasingly depends on technology provided by Earth-orbiting satellites, from detailed weather predictions to broad-band internet and GPS. How are satellites launched into orbit and how do they work once they get there? Why are rockets used to get into orbit and how are they different from airplanes? This introductory course is aimed at a wide non-technical audience and is appropriate for all ages. 📺 Watch the full playlist on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLh9mgdi4rNexC1fSWLlpQx_Gjj_0DhjVE 🎓 Enroll on Coursera for assessments and a certificate: https://www.coursera.org/learn/rocket-science-for-everyone 🌐 Explore more learning opportunities on Yale Online: https://online.yale.edu/courses/rocket-science-everyone #Yale #RocketScience #YaleOnline #SatelliteCommunication #RadioWaves #STEMEducation Learn more about your ad choices.

    4. Configurative Reading

    Introduction to Theory of Literature (ENGL 300)Uploaded 01-09-09The discussion of Gadamer and Hirsch continues in this lecture, which further examines the relationship between reading and interpretation. Through a comparative analysis of these theorists, Professor Paul Fry explores the difference between meaning and significance, the relationship between understanding and paraphrasing, and the nature of the gap between the reader and the text. Through Wolfgang Iser's essay, "The Reading Process," the nature of textual expectation and surprise, and the theory of their universal importance in narrative, is explained. The lecture concludes by considering the fundamental, inescapable role that hermeneutic premises play in canon formation.00:00 - Chapter 1. Gadamer Revisited08:47 - Chapter 2.

    For more information about Professor Shankar's book based on the lectures from this course, Fundamentals of Physics: Mechanics, Relativity, and Thermodynamics, visit http://bit.ly/1jFIqNu.Uploaded 22-09-08Fundamentals of Physics (PHYS 200)This lecture is a continuation of an analogue to Newton's law: τ= lα. While previous problems examined situations in which τ is not zero, this time the focus is on extreme cases in which there is no torque at all. If there is no torque, α is zero and the angular velocity is constant. The lecture starts with a simple example of a seesaw and moves on to discuss a collection of objects that are somehow subject to a variety of forces but remain in static equilibrium.00:00 - Chapter 1.

    24. Biomedical Engineers and Cancer

    Frontiers of Biomedical Engineering (BENG 100)Uploaded 18-11-08Professor Saltzman uses cancer diagnosis and treatment as an example to demonstrate the some applications of biomedical engineering technologies and methods. Some issues involved in cancer treatment, such as tumor angiogenesis, radiation sensitivity, drug localization, and cancer stem cells are mentioned. Next, he describes the phases (I-IV), in compliance to guidelines enforced by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which a new drug compound must go through to gain approval prior to public distribution/sale. Finally, Professor Saltzman draws attention to the areas that biomedical engineers may contribute to, to improve this process.00:00 - Chapter 1. Introduction to Cancer03:56 - Chapter 2.

    21. Bioimaging (cont.)

    Frontiers of Biomedical Engineering (BENG 100)Uploaded 18-11-08Professor Saltzman continues his discussion of biomedical imaging technology. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is introduced as an alternate form of imaging, which does not use ionizing radiation yet can provide detailed structure of the body. Functional MRI (fMRI) has a different application from traditional MRI. It can be used to measure oxygen consumption (tissue metabolic rate), and is an important tool in deciphering brain function. Third, ultrasound imaging is another imaging technique that can detect motion by translating sound wave reflections into structural images at fast timescale. Finally, examples of nuclear imaging and advances in light microscopy are discussed.00:00 - Chapter 1. Introduction05:04 - Chapter 2.
