BRAIN: CT, MRI

http://knol.google.com/k/christopher-hess/brain-ct-mri/biWBkaDv/wqrGdg#

The structure and function of the brain can be studied noninvasively by doctors and researchers using computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This Knol discusses how images of the brain are generated using these techniques, provides examples of the different types of information that can be revealed, addresses the relative strengths and weaknesses of each modality for evaluating several common disorders of the central nervous system, and covers some of their potential risks. A high-resolution atlas of MRI anatomy is also included.

The Concept of Human Effort Engineering: HR Dimension

http://knol.google.com/k/narayana-rao-kvss/the-concept-of-human-effort-engineering/2utb2lsm2k7a/1156#

A new definition of industrial engineering emerged in the literature. “Industrial Engineering is Human Effort Engineering. It is an engineering discipline that deals with the design of human effort in all occupations: agricultural, manufacturing and service. The objectives of Industrial Engineering are optimization of productivity of work-systems and occupational comfort, health, safety and income of persons involved.” According to this definition the two focus areas of industrial engineering are human effort engineering and systems efficiency/productivity engineering.

The activities of human resource management can be categorized under the five major domains: Organizational design, Staffing, Performance management and appraisal, Employee and organizational development, and reward systems, benefits, and compliance. Traditionally Industrial engineering and human resource management had interconnected relationships in areas like manpower planning and job design. The new definition increases the scope of interaction between IE department and HRM department.

Some snippets

Keep your charts up-to-date
Watch your charts with a trend template
Trend is the horse
That draws your capital cart in the bourse.


The stock broker says, what is your stop loss?
The customer says, why should I stop my loss?
I am in it for profit
Why should I drop it?



Risk does not mean only reward and capital gain
It also means loss and mental pain.

Industrial Engineering

Definition, Explantion, History, and Programs

http://knol.google.com/k/narayana-rao-kvss/industrial-engineering/2utb2lsm2k7a/1151#

"Industrial Engineering is Human Effort Engineering and System Efficiency Engineeering."

Industrial engineering can be better explained with the statement that the two focus areas of industrial engineering are human effort engineering and system efficiency engineering.

The explanation of industrial engineering as human effort engineering and system efficiency engineering brings out more clearly the scope of the IIE definition that industrial engineering is concerned with the design, improvement, and installation of integrated systems. The word engineering is associated with design and production, fabrication or construction according to designs. As explained above, system design in entirety cannot be the sole preserve of industrial engineers. The functional design production systems in various branches of engineering can be done by engineers of that branch only. Similarly functional design of various management systems in a business organization can be done by managers of that function only. Industrial engineers have a role to play in systems design and it is of designing efficiency into the functional systems designed by others.
