Q. Solve for N(t). An unstable nucleus is created in a particle accelerator at a steady rate of F nuclei per second. Let N be the number of the nuclei at any given time. If N starts out at 0, and the nuclei have a decay rate of R, find N as a function of time.
A. N(t)=(F/R)(1-exp(-Rt))

BONElike™ Youth Spine Model (06-25-2010)
Atlanta, GA, September 2009 – Avoid the expense and potential ethical consequences of using natural human bone to teach human anatomy. Realistic BONElike™ anatomy models from 3B Scientific create the look and feel of real human bone at a fraction of the cost and without social implications. Each bone is a unique cast of real bone with realistic feel, weight, and appearance. The finest anatomical structures are presented in extreme detail with realistic texture, color and the porous characteristics of real human bone. You will find them particularly useful in medical teaching situations and in patient consultation. The Youth Spine represents the vertebral column of a child about 5-years old. Specifically you can determine the vertebral bodies and arches are not completely developed; the sacral bodies are not completely fused; and the pelvis has open Y cartilage and the hip, pubic and ischial bones are not yet connected. The vertebral column has natural flexibility and includes the occipital plate, pelvis and sacrococcyx. Within the spinal canal are the spinal cord with cauda equina and exiting nerve roots. The Youth Spine is perfect for pediatrics, orthopedics and pediatric radiology.

Osteoporosis Model for Patient and Medical Education (06-23-2010)
Atlanta, GA, August 2009 –Osteoporosis is the thinning of bone tissue and loss of bone density over time. Researchers have estimated that about one in five women over 50 years old have osteoporosis. Building a foundation of understanding about osteoporosis is crucial to supporting healthy bones and living well on a day-to-day basis. Ideal for medical studies and patient consultation, the Osteoporosis Model uses thoracic vertebrae to compare osteoporotic and normal bone. The upper vertebra is divided in the middle and attaches magnetically. The exposed surfaces make it easy to visualize the collapse of the bony substance over time. Reproductions of two healthy vertebrae are provided on the right side for comparison. To further illustrate the effects of this degenerative disease two detail illustrations on the base depict 3D micro CT images obtained from actual bone biopsies.
