I.t. Doctors Database Analysis
Words: 1175 - Pages: 5.... (by pressing the button and F at the same time) and the file would be found in a few seconds. On a computer you could automatically put the files in alphabetical order by whatever- name, GP, date of birth e.t.c. However, in an office cabinet it really would not be easy at all to put and keep the files in some sort of alphabetical sequence.
Currently the database is pen-and-paper based, which may be cost effective but is very time-consuming when compared to a computer-based database. Say you have a paper-based database. If one of your clients move house or get married, you would have to create a whole new record because of the altered info .....

International Space Station
Words: 2523 - Pages: 10.... that speech. As the ideas for this project began to take off, the main concern was money. How much funding would be necessary to construct a space station?
At first, NASA could only work within the agency’s estimated $8.5 billion dollar budget. It was in 1984 when the first construction plan was unveiled, called “Freedom.” A “power tower” concept was designed, which is a long slender unit that would be the center of the entire structure. This tower would be a long, narrow piece of latticework, chosen for its stability and to avoid the use of every day thrusts to maintain its altitude. All the laboratory .....

Mars 2
Words: 1038 - Pages: 4.... the northern and southern hemispheres of Mars; one is extremely rough and old while the other is young and relatively smooth. The southern hemisphere is strewn with ancient craters of all sizes and is also elevated by a several kilometers creating a visible boundary. On the opposite end the northern hemisphere consists of a wider variety of geological features, but is obviously smoother and much younger. There are large volcanoes, a great rift valley, and a variety of channels.
Volcanism is a geological process that occurs on Earth today, and has on many planetary bodies throughout the history of the solar system. No volcanism is oc .....

Managing Waste, To Save Our World
Words: 205 - Pages: 1.... away anymore, now it must be managed. Managing our trash is the
"in thing", yet it is hardly convenient. Lets face the facts, sealed toxins
"won't affect us for a good twenty years". Although this may be true, there are
still many advantages to waste management.
Today, more people are in favour of companies who invest in "green products". As
a result, companies have removed phosphates, bleaches, and have made their paper
products out of recycled papers. At home, families, are saving things, like
leftovers, and making sandwiches for the next day. Industries are also
manufacturing most of their christmas cards out of recycled paper, sinc .....

Transmission Of Aids
Words: 575 - Pages: 3.... only the tip of the iceberg as there are many others who are infected but do not know that they are. In the 1980s, the majority of infections in Singapore were homosexual or bisexual men; but now there are many infections seen among heterosexual men and women. Heterosexual sex is now the main method of transmission in Singapore and over 75% of infections throughout the world are acquired through heterosexual intercourse.
Not everybody who has sex with an infected person will get infected. However, the risks increase sharply in the presence of other Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD) i.e. gonorrhea, herpes and syphilis or when the infect .....

The Great Imposters
Words: 1454 - Pages: 6.... aren't always as they seem, and nowhere is this more true than
in nature, where dozens of animals (and plants) spend their time
masquerading as others. So clever are their disguises that you've probably
never known you were being fooled by spiders impersonating ants, squirrels
that look like shrews, worms copying sea anemones, and roaches imitating
ladybugs. There are even animals that look like themselves, which can also
be a form of impersonation. The phenomenon of mimicry, as it's called
by biologists, was first noted in the mid-1800s by an English naturalist,
Henry W. Bates. Watching butterflies in the forests of Brazil, Bates .....

Magnatism & The Things We Think We Know About It!
Words: 2864 - Pages: 11.... charge. In the case of
magnatism though we find that these elements have a lot of unpaired electrons,
in the case of iron, Fe, there are four. What happens then in the case of a
natural magnet the unpaired electrons line up or the magnet in a specific mannor.
That is all the atoms with unpaired electrons moving in a direction which
causes a certain charge are lined up on one side and all the atoms with the
opposite charge move to the other side. The atoms then start to cancel each
other out as they approach the center of the magnet. This all happens at the
currie point where these atoms are free to move and then when cooled and t .....

Bioluminescence In Fungi
Words: 2045 - Pages: 8.... especially interested early scientists who explored it. The
light is the result of a biochemical reaction in which the oxidation of a
compound called "Luciferin" and the reaction was catalyzed by an enzyme called
"Luciferase". The light generated by this biochemical reaction has been
utilized by scientists as a bioindicator for Tuberculosis as well as heavy
metals. On going research involving bioluminescence is currently underway in
the areas of evolution, ecology, histology, physiology, biochemistry, and
biomedical applications.
History of Bioluminescent Fungi
The light of luminous wood was first noted in the early writings o .....

Water Pollution
Words: 1517 - Pages: 6.... pieces of trash.1 The worst offenders are commercial ships. The world fleet of commercial boats dump over 5,550,000 plastic, metal, and glass containers into the ocean in a single day.2
The most harmful of these is plastic. Sea mammals such as birds and dolphins often get tangled in the plastic six-pack rings, fishing lines, and net that humans discard into the ocean waters. Once entangled, they are unable to free themselves which can cause deep cuts, starvation, and drowning. Many ocean mammals have died as a result of ingesting these plastic items. In 1985, a sperm whale beached itself on a New Jersey shore; a mylar balloon was lod .....

Endangered Species Study: Jaguars
Words: 431 - Pages: 2.... themselves from being killed.
Many jaguars just disappear from the pressures of being killed. While the
animal is trying to change habitats they have died. The rain forests that the
jaguars inhabit are being torn down to open up lumbering, farming, livestock
raising, and other activities carried out by humans. Killing a jaguar is taking
away a life that is doing no harm to the eco-system. A jaguars' way of living
is much like that of a human, you don't see jaguars killing humans for their
skin.
III. Any endangered specie, including the jaguar, has many different
alternatives in which the government or a national group would have t .....
