Answer:

Sir Godfrey Hounsfield invented the CT scan.

Explanation:

Godfrey Newbold Hounsfield is a British engineer known for having designed the first CT scanner in 1972, while he was an engineer for the British company EMI.

During a field trip, Hounsfield had the idea that it could be determined the contents of a box from radiographic shots taken from different angles around the box. He then began building a computer that took radiographic shots of the same object from different angles of view to reconstruct an image of the object in slices. The application of this idea to the medical field leads him to propose what is today called CT scan. At this time, Hounsfield ignored that Allan McLeod Cormack established the mathematical theory describing such a device. Cormack and Hounsfield each received half the Nobel Prize in medicine in 1979 for the development of computer-assisted tomography.

Inga [223]
The answer is, European settlement had overwhelmingly negative consequences for Native Americans. Though Native American tribes did occasionally form positive relationships with European settlers, permanent European settlement in America eventually led to disease and displacement.

Which of the following is the main source of conflict and fighting in the Middle East between Israel and palestine
tangare [24]

The main issue is <u>land</u> and who is in control of it. The conflict between Israel and Palestine began in regard to the creation of the State of Israel.  Palestinians and Arab nations in the region did not welcome the establishment of a Jewish state on what had for centuries been Arab territory.

Details/context:

There had been Jewish immigration into the Palestine region since the end of the 19th century.  The movement of Jews back to what they saw as their ancestral territory escalated with the Zionist movement in the early 20th century.  Persecution against Jews in Europe (notably, pogroms in Russia in the 19th century and the Holocaust perpetrated by Nazi Germany in the 20th century) increased pressure for Jews to leave European countries.  

The Palestine region had been part of the Ottoman Empire up until the end of World War I.  A mandate system authorized a member nation of the League of Nations to govern a former German or Ottoman colonial area after the conclusion of World War I.  The former Ottoman provinces of Syria, Iraq and Palestine in the Middle East were divided into a French mandate territory and British mandate territory.  The British exercised mandate rule over Palestine.  

After the Second World War II ended in 1945, the United Nations (UN) adopted a plan for the partition of Palestine that would create a portion of that territory as the state of Israel, with the other part as an independent state for Palestinian Arabs.  The Arabs in the region and surrounding Arab nations were not in favor of this, because they opposed the creation of a Jewish state in their region.  

As the British were ending their mandate governance of the region in May, 1948, the Jewish leaders in the land proclaimed their independence as a nation.  A war with Arab peoples and nations in the region followed.  Israel won that war and established itself as a nation.  Over 700,000 Palestinians fled their homes and land and have not been able to regain independent rights to their territory.

The new state of Israel was granted membership in the UN in 1949.  Israel won a series of wars (in 1967, 1973 and beyond) over against Arab states in the region.  Palestinians have made efforts against Israeli control, notably with movements called "Intifadas," in 1987 and 2000.  They have not been able to achieve nationhood status, however.

These are the circumstances under which the protest of the students in Tinker v. Des Moines would be deemed unprotected speech:
if their action had clearly threatened order and safety.
And since it didn't, there was no reason for it to be deemed unprotected speech.
