Answer:

for the development of computer assisted tomography.

Explanation:

The 1979 Nobel Prize winners for Medicine, Sir Godfrey Hounsfield and Allan Cormack won the prize "for the development of computer-assisted tomography."

This is evident in the fact that Sir Godfrey Hounsfield was an English Electrical Engineer, while Allan Cormack was widely known as a South African American physicist.

They both come together to "develop computer-assisted tomography" which is used to provide detailed information about the structure and anatomy of human organs.

List at least four similarities among the three sections of colonial america
liq [111]

The New England, Middle, and Southern colonies had several similarities including:

1) All controlled by England- The 13 colonies in North America were all under the control of the English government up until America declared independence in 1776.

2) All had some form of agriculture/farming- Even though the products were different (i.e. tobacco in the South, grain in the Middle colonies), there was at least some form of farming done in all 13 colonial regions.

3) All of these regions were developed in order to make England money- This is part of the system known as mercantilism. Essentially, all 13 colonies existed in order to provide natural resources and profit for England.

4) All three regions had slaves at some point.

Explain how some collaborators helped make genocide possible
zysi [14]

During the World War II, the Germans were very powerful, having large, well trained, and well equipped army, but that army was not endless and was not able to control everything. That is where the collaborators came to help. The Germans had numerous collaborators, and they were the ones that were doing the things on the terrain where the German army was not able to be present. The collaborators were loyal to Hitler and they obeyed his orders and ambitions, and one of those was to eliminate some ethnic groups. The Germans managed to get lot of people from their primary target groups, Jews, Slavs, and Gypsies in their own territory, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, and they were performing genocide over them. In order to get the people of those ethnic groups, in the other territories, the collaborators were doing the job, such as the Hungarians, Lithuanians, Bulgarians, Croatians managed to get hundreds of thousands of people and send them into the concentration camps where lot of them lost their lives.

Name one area in which Americans were calling for reform at the turn of the twentieth century.
wlad13 [49]
<span>Women's rights. The suffrage movement picked up after the Civil War and was gaining steam going into the 20th century. Women were wanting many changes to society but held no political power to change anything. Women wanted the right to vote so they could contribute to political changes needed to reform other parts of society like working conditions, unions, and immigrant settlement. Women will get the right to vote in 1920 with the passage of the 19th Amendment. </span>
