The purpose of this review is to investigate the clinical utility of functional brain imaging in patients with AD, brain tumours, epilepsy, MS, or Parkinsonâs disease. Because the focus is on clinical utility, the added clinical information that would be provided by Level 1 studies (i.e., studies of technical feasibility) is limited.
The Iron Industry. In the centuries before the Industrial Revolution, the quality of iron and the process of refining it had changed little in Great Britain. Iron had been used for agricultural tools, chains, locks, bolts, nails, horse stirrups, scythes, sickles, and anchors.
The Industrial Revolution played a major role in expanding the use of coal. During the first half of the 1800s, the Industrial Revolution spread to the United States. Steamships and steam-powered railroads were becoming the chief forms of transportation, and they used coal to fuel their boilers.y 1875, coke (which is made from coal) replaced charcoal as the primary fuel for iron blast furnaces to make steel. The burning of coal to generate electricity is a relative newcomer in the long history of this fossil fuel. It was in the 1880s when coal was first used to generate electricity for homes and factories.
