All Physicians Lead - Redefining...

Leon E. Moores

Physicians lead. It’s an integral part of what they do. They lead patients, they lead healthcare teams, they lead colleagues, departments, and organizations. But most doctors receive very little training in leadership.Leon E. Moores, MD, DSc, FACS is a neurosurgeon and seasoned healthcare leader who literally “wrote the book” on physician leadership for the U.S. Army. A West Point graduate, Moores became an officer and a surgeon in the Army and recognized how the lack of formal leadership training for doctors impacts physician effectiveness, team performance, and patient outcomes. Along with a team of highly accomplished colleagues, he created the physician leadership development program that has been widely referenced by the U.S. military. Moores now shares that leadership wisdom, and the lessons he has learned through decades of healthcare organization leadership, with physicians everywhere and with all readers passionate about improving healthcare.

Seismology - Earthquakes:...

Mike Crawford

Seismology is the scientific study of earthquakes and the propagation of seismic waves through the Earth. It plays a crucial role in understanding the planet’s internal structure, predicting seismic hazards, and developing mitigation strategies. The field has evolved over centuries, combining geological observations with advanced instrumentation to analyze the forces that shape the Earth's surface.
The Earth's internal structure consists of the crust, mantle, outer core, and inner core. These layers play a fundamental role in the behavior of seismic waves. The crust, the outermost layer, is broken into tectonic plates that move slowly over the more fluid mantle beneath. This movement generates stress along fault lines, eventually leading to earthquakes. The mantle, composed of semi-solid rock, allows for convection currents that drive plate tectonics. The outer core, a molten iron layer, generates Earth's magnetic field, while the solid inner core remains a mystery due to its extreme conditions.
Seismic waves are the energy waves generated by earthquakes and other seismic events. They are classified into body waves and surface waves. Body waves, which travel through the Earth’s interior, include primary (P) waves and secondary (S) waves. P-waves are the fastest and travel through both solids and liquids, while S-waves move slower and can only propagate through solids. Surface waves, which travel along the Earth's crust, are responsible for most of the destruction during an earthquake.
