The completion of the construction of the Panama canal took place six months early because :
B. new machines and technologies were invented.
these invention cause the construction process became more efficient which eventually reduce the timeline from the original plan.
In the 13th century, people who lived in Venice, Italy, believed that the Sun revolved around the Earth and that creation occurred exactly 4,484 years before Rome was founded. As Christians, they considered Jerusalem, the place of Jesus’s crucifixion, to be the so-called navel of the world, and their maps portrayed this.
Marco Polo was born in Venice, or possibly Croatia, in 1254. Located on the eastern coast of Italy, Venice served as a gateway to the riches of Asia during this era of increasing trade. Goods flowed like water through the city. Ships from around the eastern Mediterranean docked at its port. Merchants and traders set sail from Venice for Constantinople (now Istanbul) and the Black Sea to fetch goods from Russia and from merchants who traveled the Silk Roads, a system of trading routes to and from China that crossed the mountains and deserts of Central Asia.
At the time of Marco’s birth, his father, Niccolo, and two uncles, all merchants, were away trading. Supposedly they were visiting cities on the Black Sea, but their adventures had actually taken them all the way to the Mongol capital of China, Khanbaliq (city of the Khan). There they had an audience with the most powerful ruler of the day, Kublai Khan, grandson of the founding emperor, Genghis Khan. When the three Polo men returned to Venice after an absence of 16 years, Niccolo found that his wife had died and that he had a 15-year-old son, Marco, whom he did not know existed.
Travels
Two years later, in 1271, Niccolo Polo and his brother, Maffeo, set off again, taking the 17-year-old Marco with them. This time they aimed directly for the court of Kublai Khan, to bring him documents from the pope and holy oil from Jerusalem that he had requested. Even with a gold passport from Kublai Khan, which enabled the travelers to use lodgings and horses posted by the Mongols along the Silk Road routes, they took three and a half years to arrive. Upon reaching the summer palace of Kublai Khan in 1275, Niccolo presented his son and offered him in service to the emperor.
Answer: The two medical technologies that NASA has developed in partnership with the Texas medical center are development of the LVAD (Left Ventricular Assist Device) in 1995 and the first telemedicine project
Explanation:
In 1995. Engineers at the Johnson Space Center ( NASA's center for human spaceflight ) in Houston worked with Dr. Michael DeBakey to develop LVAD (Left Ventricular Assist Device) artificial heart pump based on the space shuttle's fuel pumps. It helps keep people healthy as they wait for heart transplants -- and sometimes makes a transplant unnecessary.
Michael Ellis DeBakey, was a Lebanese-American vascular surgeon and cardiac surgeon, scientist and medical educator.
The second is Telemedicine,
Telemedicine is the interactive transmission of medical images and data to provide better health care for people in remote or "medically underserved" locations.
Since the 1970s, NASA has been in the forefront of research and demonstration in the field of telemedicine. NASA has an obvious interest because of the potential of telemedicine in care of astronauts operating beyond Earth orbit in the future. NASA is actively engaged in developing new technologies applicable to both space and Earth telemedicine and in spurring broader acceptance of telemedicine by conducting demonstrations of the technique's potential in cooperation with local governments and the medical and industrial communities.
Ronald C. Merrell, director of the Medical Informatics Technology Applications Consortium, a NASA Research Partnership Center at Virginia Commonwealth University. He began his relationship with NASA in 1984 when he was a professor of surgery at the Texas Medical Center in Houston near NASA's Johnson Space Center. He led programs in clinical medicine, education and research, and his first telemedicine project funded by NASA provided care as part of a relief effort in Armenia.
The battles were fought on April 19, 1775 in Middlesex County, Province of Massachusetts Bay, within the towns of Lexington, Concord, Lincoln, Menotomy (present-day Arlington), and Cambridge. They marked the outbreak of armed conflict between the Kingdom of Great Britain and its thirteen colonies in America.
