Alcohol Benefits
Words: 449 - Pages: 2.... can help lower the risk of heart disease. But when consumption surpasses two drinks a day, risks increase for some kinds of cancer.
Doctors at UT Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas say before you start drinking for your health, talk to your doctor. For some people, the risks of alcohol outweigh the benefits. And remember that while one drink a day can be helpful, more can be harmful.
Could a drink a day keep the doctor away? One study says alcohol can have beneficial effects. Doctors recently determined that people who drank moderately, about one or two drinks per day, had a lower chance of developing blocked arteries in their legs. T .....

manufacturing plant. Some of these factors that have to be considered when
deciding the location of a Sulfuric Acid plant are:
a. Whether there is ready access to raw materials;
b. Whether the location is close to major transportation routes;
c. Whether there is a suitable work force in the area for
plant construction and operation;
d. Whether there is sufficient energy resources readily
available;
e. Whether or not the chemical plant can carry out its
operation without any unacceptable damage to the
environment.
Listed above are the basic decidi .....

Dna Replication
Words: 2173 - Pages: 8.... “unzipping”, there will be two single strands of DNA. Hence, because there is two single strands of DNA, there will be two new daughter strands synthesized. However, each of these daughter cells is synthesized in different ways.
The first strand of DNA is built by simply adding nucleotides to its end. This strand grows inward towards the replication fork as the DNA molecule unzips. This strand ends with a hydroxide (OH) group and is called the 3` prime or 3`end. The enzyme that catalyzes this process is called DNA polymerase.
The second strand is built by having a polymerase jump ahead on the strand and fill in the complementary .....

Rutherford's Gold Foil Experiment
Words: 787 - Pages: 3.... cause a faint but discrete
flash when striking luminescent zinc sulfide screen. These great
accomplishments are all overshadowed by Rutherford's famous Gold Foil experiment
which revolutionized the atomic model.
This experiment was Rutherford's most notable achievement. It not only
disproved Thomson's atomic model but also paved the way for such discoveries as
the atomic bomb and nuclear power. The atomic model he concluded after the
findings of his Gold Foil experiment have yet to be disproven. The following
paragraphs will explain the significance of the Gold Foil Experiment as well as
how the experiment contradicted Thomson's ato .....

Orion Nebula
Words: 979 - Pages: 4.... nebula because of the O-type and B-type stars contained within it. These high-temperature stars emit ultraviolet (UV) light that ionizes the surrounding hydrogen atoms into protons (H+) and electrons (e-). When the protons and electrons recombine, the electrons enter a higher energy level (n=3). Then, when the electron drops from the n=3 level to the n=2 level, an Hphoton is emitted. 2 This photon has a wavelength of 6563 Å, and therefore corresponds to the red portion of the visible spectrum. It is these H photons which give the nebula the distinctive red color which we see.
The extreme brightness of the .....

History And Development Of The Internet
Words: 956 - Pages: 4.... This meant that in the event of a break in the network the server would re-route the information in an alternate path through a new technique called "packet switching". Packet Switching is a means of breaking up the message being sent into small packets which carry enough information to seek out its destination and sending them out separately towards the destination server. The message after being broken up would take separate routes to the destination and then be re-assembled by the computer at the server where the message was being sent. This was good because with more than one route for information to travel on, the enemy did not h .....

The Sequence Of Chemical Reactions
Words: 590 - Pages: 3.... acid. Allow the beaker to
remain under the hood until the fumes cease. The remaining solution should be
blue. Bring the beaker back to the lab station and add ~ 10 mL of distilled
water. Stir the mixture, all the while adding ~ 8 mL of 6M of NaOH to the
beaker. Check with litmus paper to ensure that it is slightly basic. Fill the
beaker with up to 100 mL mark with distilled water. Heat the solution and allow
it to boil for 5 minutes. Prepare a squirt bottle with hot water. Filter the
solution and rinse the beaker with the hot water. Rinse the filter cake with
hot distilled water. Transfer the filter paper into a clean beaker. Ad .....

Lab Report Of The Cells
Words: 491 - Pages: 2.... the Nucleus there are one or more Nucleoli. They are dense, granular bodies that disappear at the beginning of cell division and reappear at the end. Then you have the Cytoplasm. This is the watery material lying within the cell between the cell membrane and the nucleus. The Cytoplasm also contains organelles, which have specific functions in the cell metabolism. Then there are the Golgi Bodies, which serve as processing, packaging, and storage for the cell. These organelles package and ship things out. Another parts of the cell, a very important one in fact, are the Lysosomes. These organelles are used to break things down and contain .....

themselves. Galileo worked his way to become a respected scientist by most of
the intellectual community but he was also despised by many because of his
background and because of his attitude towards others. Darwin was well
respected by the intellectual community, but the difference was the way they
conducted themselves when they were dealing with their hypothesizes.
Galileo's Hypothesis
Galileo was well known for standing up for what he believed in and
pushing the things he wanted. He was constantly writing letters and engaging in
debates over the issue of Copernicanism. Galileo's entire reason for doing this
was to mak .....

Some s do that in parallel with the standard voice service, all on the same line and at the same time. Some deliver higher speeds or wider bandwidth - the more dense the data you are sending, the wider the bandwidth you need for quality and speedy transmission. Still others deliver higher capacity for downloading than for uploading data. There is a whole portfolio of technologies coming on stream to match user needs at home and at work. The new millennium is about to put a completely new dimension into those telephone lines we have all come to take for gra .....
