Deforestation In The Brazilian Amazon
Words: 1454 - Pages: 6.... and its long term effects are
devastating, this is why it should be stopped.
Since its discovery, 30% of Brazil's rain forests have disappeared, and the
country is still losing more rain forest each year than any other on the
planet. Brazilian forests are burned or felled at the rate of 1800
hectares (about 4500 acres) every hour! (Dwyer 39) Deforestation started
hundreds of years ago, but only became a major problem in the second half
of this century, when it increased dramatically. It was enhanced by the
Brazilian government which started cutting down the forest to construct a
vast network of highways in an effort to establish a goo .....

Virtual Reality - What It Is And How It Works
Words: 3281 - Pages: 12.... interested in VR. This has also worried some of the
researchers who are trying to create very real applications for medical,
space, physical, chemical, and entertainment uses among other things.
In order to create this alternate reality, however, you need to find ways
to create the illusion of reality with a piece of machinery known as the
computer. This is done with several computer-user interfaces used to
simulate the senses. Among these, are stereoscopic glasses to make the
simulated world look real, a 3D auditory display to give depth to sound,
sensor lined gloves to simulate tactile feedback, and head-trackers to
follow the orienta .....

Intel Vs. Amd The True Story (intel Bias)
Words: 1351 - Pages: 5.... Thus I believe Intel builds better and faster processors than AMD.
The first ever problems AMD had were with incompatibility problems that plagued their entire line of CPU's until the K6. These problems hurt AMD because nobody wanted a CPU that could not run 15% of the programs out. People wanted a processor that had programs optimized specifically for it, people wanted a computer with a sticker that said "Intel Inside" because they knew every program would run on it. If people wanted a cheap solution then they went with the low-cost AMD CPU and faced incompatibility problems with a lot of programs. But most people were willing to s .....

Boiling Water
Words: 340 - Pages: 2.... to pull away from one another. When they gain enough energy, they are able to separate and to overcome the force of the atmospheric pressure and form the gas (water vapor) that makes up the bubbles you see in the boiling process. The standard temperature at which this occurs is 100 C or 212 F. In the very early stages of heating, you may see some small bubbles even though the water is only warm. This is some air that is dissolved in the cold water and is being expelled by the heating. This is not boiling. As the water nears the boiling point, some areas of the container close to the heat source may be hot enough to cause some boiling i .....

Global Warming A Serious Threa
Words: 881 - Pages: 4.... temperatures can directly cause the loss of life". And also many serious diseases appear in warm places. But not only is it that "warm temperatures can increase air and water pollution, which in turn harm human health" (ESP Health 1). The hot temperature, which could be the most direct effect of climate change, causes the heat problem. Because their cardiovascular system has to work harder to keep the body cool during hot weather. The temperature causes harmful effects to human health and another is cause of lung problem. "Higher air temperatures also increases the concentration of ozone at ground level". When this happens, the .....

When treated early, there are no long-term consequences of . Serious complications can result, however, when left untreated. Long term complications in men may include Epididymitis. Long term complications in women include Pelvic Inflammatory Disease, ectopic pregnancy, perihepatitis, sterility can be transmitted to newborns. Approximately 2% of persons with untreated may develop Disseminated Gonococcal Infection (DGI). This develops into a fever, skin lesions and arthritis type pain.

The Dust-Cloud Hypothesis
Words: 318 - Pages: 2.... body of dust and gas forming the sun collapsed rapidly to a much
smaller size. The pressure that resulted from the collapse caused the sun
to become very hot and to glow brightly.
The newly born sun began to heat up the swirling eddy of gas and dust that
was to become the earth. The gas expanded, and some of it flowed away into
space. The dust that remained behind then collected together because of
gravity. Although the shrinking earth generated a lot of heat, most of
this heat was lost into space. Therefore, the original earth was most
likely solid, not molten.
This hypothesis was developed by a scientest, Harold C. Urey in 1952. .....

Chronic and Degenerative Diseases are diseases that go on for a long time or return from time to time over a long period. Usually they can not be cured but many can be helped by medical treatment. Chronic diseases are also degenerative. Such diseases gradually lead to the breakdown of tissues and organs of the body. is a Chronic Degenerative Disease.

The Importance Of The Ozone Layer
Words: 765 - Pages: 3.... rays from the sun are
absorbed. The O3 molecule is very reactive and it bonds easily with other
molecules it the atmosphere. When and oxygen atom from the ozone reacts
with a chloride ion from chlorine monoxide, the ozone molecule is destroyed.
So chlorine monoxide is an ozone destroyer. There is always a certain
amount of chlorine monoxide in the atmosphere.
It is important to remember that ozone is constantly being created and
destroyed in the atmosphere. The amount of ozone in the atmosphere is based
on these reactions. There are many factors that influence the amount of
reactions like season, latitude, and solar cycle. Because of these .....

Alternative Energy Sources
Words: 1121 - Pages: 5.... energy demands throughout the past half century have tripled, the global economy has quintupled and the world population increased twofold (Anonymous em_txt4.html).
Richard Cromwell, general manager of SunLine Transit Agency in Southern California's Coachella Valley, is a firsthand proponent of alternative fueling. Having to smell the awful odor emitted day after day from his fleet of forty-seven buses, Cromwell (Silverstein 10) encourages the changeover. Phil Bostley, Mayor of Indian Wells, a subsection of Coachella Valley, agrees wholeheartedly by saying petroleum-base fuels will go the way of the buggy whips back in the 1930's (Si .....
