Every person with autism is different and there is no set type or typical person with autism. This is because autism is a spectrum disorder, meaning that symptoms and characteristics of the disorder can present themselves in a variety of ways, from mild to severe. Usually children with autism have deficiencies in both verbal and non-verbal communication. Their language develops slowly or not at all and they hav .....

American Crocodile
Words: 2518 - Pages: 10.... both the Atlantic and Pacific Coasts of Southern Mexico, as well as the Caribbean islands of Cuba, Jamaica, and Hispaniola¡¨ (1 Species). These areas provide the perfect climate for these endangered species that have roamed the earth for over 200 million years. Florida is known for its large population of American alligators, which are often confused for the rare American crocodile. However, there are vast differences between the two species. Hunted for their hides and the changing of their habitat to beach front property is slowly pushing the American crocodile out of Florida, the only place it is found in the United States.

On Darwin's Theory Of Natural Selection
Words: 655 - Pages: 3.... and while he was on this journey, he
became enthralled with biology and geology. He made and wrote observations about
coral reefs (1842), and volcanic islands (1844), but his greatest biological
observations were those pertaining to his theory of evolution.
Darwin's findings begin in the Galapagos Islands where he noticed a wide
array of finches whose beaks were different sizes. He believed that the
physical conditions on the island did not affect the birds' beaks, but it was
the birds' feeding habits. For instance, the birds with the large, powerful
beaks ate large seeds, while the birds with the small or fine beaks, ate small

Tigers that live in cold climates (Siberian tigers) have thicker fur than tigers that live in warm climates. A tiger's tail is 3 to 4 feet long, about half as long as its body. Tigers use their tails for balance when they run through fast turns. They also use their tails to communicate with other tigers.
Where did tigers come from? Tigers (and all other carnivores) are descended from civet-like animals called miacids that lived during the age of the dinosaurs about 60 million years ago. These small mammals, with long .....

History Of Birth Control
Words: 455 - Pages: 2.... called the rhythm method. As its synonym implies, this method is based on the assumption that, for each women, there is a rhythmic pattern of menstruation and ovulation that can be identified by keeping a careful record of the dates of menstruation. A second assumption is that
ovulation occurs 14 days before the onset of the next menstruation. The rhythm method is the most commonly used of the natural methods.
To be used successfully a record should be kept for at least six menstrual cycles. The fertile period is then defined by a set of rules for example: The length of the shortest cycle less 18 days marking the start of the fertile per .....

Cryogenics: Is It Worth Waiting For
Words: 848 - Pages: 4.... lowered to or below
zero degrees Kelvin or absolute zero. Temperatures in cryobiology range from
zero degrees Celsius--water freezes--to just above negative two hundred and
seventy three point sixteen degrees Celsius--absolute zero. The word
"Cryogenics" comes from the Greek word “kryos” meaning cold (“Cryogenics”
Raintree 127, Kavaler 16). The science of cryobiology was first recognized in
the early nineteen sixties. Cryobiology is the study of the effects of
extremely low temperatures on living animals and plants. The chief concern in
cryobiology is to preserve living matter for future use. This method can also
be called cr .....

Asthma 2

In one form of asthma, called intrinsic asthma, however, the attacks become less frequent and less severe, but recovery between them is less complete. The bronchi in such patients become chronically narrowed, causing a progressive loss of capacity for physical exertion. The prevalence of asthma is only about 1 or 2 percent worldwide but varies greatly from country to country. In the United States, asthma affects about 6.9 percent of children. Typically, an asthma attack begins within minutes after exposure to a .....

there are two nipples. The female koala gives birth after a 20-35 day gestation
period. When the joey (baby koala) is born, it is no longer than 2 cm and
weighs no more than a 1/2 gram. The joey stays in its mother's pouch for 5-7
months. The term "joey² is used when you are talking about a baby marsupial.
The mother gives "pap² to the joey, a liquid from the caecum (which is similar
to the human organ, appendix.) This is thought to give the joey the ability to
eat only eucalyptus leaves. When the joey emerges from the pouch, it clings to
its mother for another seven months. The joey stays w .....

The Hale Bopp Comet
Words: 771 - Pages: 3.... an hour or so before P/d'Arrest got high
enough to look at, and was just passing the time til then, and I decided to look
at some deep-sky objects in Sagittarius. When I turned to M70, I saw a fuzzy
object in the same field, and almost immediately suspected a comet, since I had
been looking at M70 last month, and *knew* there wasn't any other objects
there."
Thomas Bopp explains his story like this, "On the night of July 22, 1995
