CELEBRITY OF THE MONTH
Joseph Erlanger
143rd Birthday (January 5, 1874 – December 5, 1965)
Invented shock therapy

Joseph Erlanger was born on January 5, 1874, at San Francisco, California. He is the son of Herman and Sarah Erlanger. The American physiologist Joseph Erlanger (1874-1965) made fundamental discoveries about the way in which nerve impulses are conducted. His chief research has been done in the fields of electrophysiology and the physiology of the circulatory system. By 1922, Erlanger and Gasser were able to analyze the electrical reactions of nerve fibers by amplifying the nerves with a cathode-ray oscilloscope. They published the work in the American Journal of Physiology in 1924. An augmented version is published in book form in 1937, entitled Electrical Signs of Nervous Activity. For their work they were awarded the Nobel Prize in physiology in 1944. He also worked on metabolism of dogs with shortened intestines, on traumatic shock and on the mechanism of the production of sound in arteries. He received honorary doctorates from the Universities of California, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan.

About distribution of own waves in the dissipative layered cylindrical bodies interacting with Wednesday

Safarov Ismail Ibrahimovich, Teshaev Mukhsin Khudoyberdiyevich, Boltayev ZafarIxtiyarovich, Akhmedov Maqsud Sharipovich

The paper deals with the propagation of its own wave dissipative layered cylindrical bodies interacting with deformable (viscoelastic) media. The dynamic behavior of cylindrical bodies is described by equations of continuum mechanics. The spectral problem is reduced to solving a system of ordinary differential equations of the first order with variable complex coefficients. Solutions of differential equations is expressed by a special cylindrical Bessel functions and Hankel.

RESEARCH

Evaluation of Ciprofloxacin & Cefixime resistant Bacterial population load in hospital waste of a tertiary care hospital of Dhaka city

Md. Fakruddin, Md. Nur Hossain, Abu Md. Ramim, Md. Rashed Naim Rana, Monzur Morshed Ahmed

Antibiotic resistance in bacteria is one of the biggest challenges of healthcare sector. Increasing resistance in bacteria limits effectivity of current antibiotics and pressing the urgent need for development of more potent antibiotics. Hospital waste is one of the major source of antibiotic resistance development and spread in the environment.
