Manic depression involves alternating episodes of serious mania and depression. An affected person’s mood can swing from excessive highs (mania) to deep hopelessness (depression), usually with periods of normal mood in between. Some individuals may display mixed symptoms of both mania and depression at the same time, while others may have fewer symptoms of mania (also referred to as hypomania). The type severity, and duration of mood episodes may vary. Some individuals may experience excessive mania, or excessive depression, and some may experience an equal amount of both. The mood episodes can last f .....

Euthanasia
Words: 1923 - Pages: 7.... a hopeless situation. Conversely, even with this gradation, some opponents to euthanasia believe that voluntary, passive euthanasia is the same as suicide; involuntary euthanasia is considered to be murder.
Because euthanasia poses classic dilemmas as to its morality, it is not surprising that many issues arise in the legal and medical arenas. In law, the resolution of a particular case cannot always be applied to resolve another. In the medical realm, interpretation of medical doctrine concerning treatment of terminally-ill patients can result in entirely different applications.

and spectators. The 767 crash landed, and, fortunately, no one was killed.
Their were many contributing factors that made this plane run out of
fuel. First of all, the computerized fuel gauge was not working, and a
maintenance worker said , incorrectly, that the plan .....

In 1997, an amazing 1.1 million debt plagued spenders filed for personal bankruptcy that was a 28.6% increase from '96. Economists predict another 1.6 million to file by the end of this fiscal year, (Shop 'til We Drop [STWD], 1997). These are two vivid examples of the amazing rate at which affluenza is growing.

Ebola Virus 4
Words: 2184 - Pages: 8.... are 80 nm in diameter with a helical nucleocapsid, a membrane made of 10 nm projections, and host cell membrane. They contain a unique single-stranded molecule of noninfectious (negative sense ) RNA. The virus is composed of 7 polypeptides, a nucleoprotein, a glycoprotein, a polymerase and 4 other undesignated proteins. Proteins are produced from polyadenylated monocistronic mRNA species transcribed from virus RNA. The replication in and destruction of the host cell is rapid and produces a large number of viruses budding from the cell membrane.
Epidemics have resulted from person to person transmission, nosocomial spread or laboratory in .....

The Wolf

they have smaller heads but they look almost exactly how they would look
if they were full grown with small paws. The wolf would move around by
walking, running, or in a big pack with it’s family. The pack can have as
much as 36 wolves. Each pack always has two head leaders, one male and the
other female. The pack may hunt and go as far as 130 to 13,000 sq. km.(50
to5,000 sq. miles)—and will defend all that land from intruders. The wolf
would have soft fur over it body to cover it like a jacket to keep it warm
during the winter. The wolf’s eyes are very keen. It can see and hear
very well when hunting fo .....

Nucleic Acids

4. The amount of guanine is usually equal to that of cytosine.
The monomers of RNA and DNA are called nucleotides. Each nucleotide has three parts:
A Five Carbon or Pentose Sugar
The sugar will be one of two very similar pentose rings. Ribo contain the sugar ribose. Deoxyribo contain the sugar deoxyribose. The only difference between these two sugars is that deoxyribose contains one oxygen atom less than ribose. Pentose sugars are essential because they are involved in linking different nucleotides together by .....

Mental Illness
Words: 1114 - Pages: 5.... the mentally ill of this time. The literature of ancient Greece also contains evidence of the belief that evil spirits or demons controlled the mentally ill. Not only the Greeks believed in the evil spirit theory, writings from the early Babylonian, Egyptian, and Chinese civilizations have also shown evidence that was believed to be a possession by demons-using beatings, restraint, and starvation to try to drive out the evil spirits.
These beliefs somewhat cooled down as time continued to move on, but once again popped up as America was starting to be formed. In 1692 and 1693 the Salem witchcraft trials began. At this point in time wa .....

Modernization Of Computers

In order to feel this so-called realityyou have to wear special electronic glasses and an electronic suit. Fastened tothe suit are sensors, which send information to the main computer. Thiscomputer works with the data and displays them on the electronic spectacles. This is a technique which use three-dimentional views, therefore the scenery seems incredibly realistic. If you want to be a boxer, simply change thescenery on the main computer, and you are in the ring.Today, many .....

Not all effectors are triggered by simply hormones. Cells in the retinal area of the eye are triggered by photons that strike rhodopsin. When the rhodospin it activates the G protein, transductin, to travel to the effector enzyme, and thus regulates the levels of soduim ions (Na+). The eye cells become hyperpolarized, thus producing a negative charge, signaling visual data to the brain.
The two afore mentioned receptors are just hundreds .....
