Copper And Molybdenum Deposits In The United States
Words: 2613 - Pages: 10.... of copper production in the United States has
been a relatively recent occurrence. North American French explorers knew of
sources of native copper in the region of Lake Superior and the area natives had
copper jewelry and ornamentation. Earnest copper mining began in Simsbury,
Connecticut about 1709 and copper was actually exported to England after a
source was discovered in New Jersey around 1719. In later times domestic copper
resources did not satisfy national needs until the discovery of gold in
California shifted the focus of mineral exploration westward and strikes of rich
copper ores occurred in Tennessee and the Cordilleran .....

Lyme Disease

The investigators discovered that most of the affected children lived near wooded areas likely to harbor ticks. They also found that the children's first symptoms typically started in the summer months coinciding with the height of the tick season. Several of the patients interviewed reported having a skin rash just before developing their arthritis, and many also recalled being bitten by a tick at the rash site.
Further investigations resulted in the discovery that tiny deer ticks infected with a spiral-shaped bacterium or spirochete (which was later named Borrelia b .....

Geneticists

highest amount of bioscience education possible.
Jobs can be acquired by asking your professors, but, they may not be
aware of any need for geneticists. Many times, reading advertisements may
of some good. You may even make an appointment with biology and genetic
firms yourself. Sometimes clinics or hospitals may even need a genetic
specialist. I, myself, could also see a geneticist opening up his own
clinic, such as radiologists do. In this way they could be able to make
more money considering the amount of highly specialized geneticists with a
Doctor of Medicine. The current payment outlook is not good fo .....

Chemical Bonding
Words: 442 - Pages: 2.... one is positive and the other negative and that the Cl atom contains seven valence electrons and Na one. So, as the atoms bond the Na loses its valence electron and Cl gains it making its outer shell complete and it more stable. During this reaction light and heat are given off. This shows an exothermic reaction, which is a release of energy. The electrostatic energy between the two holds them together. Ionic bonds are useful because in a liquid state it can conduct electricity. This is possible because it contains ions. That doesn't conduct electricity in the solid state because there is not enough room within the molecule. The substan .....

Lift, Weight, Thrust And Drag
Words: 730 - Pages: 3.... factors remain constant, that airplane neither gains nor loses altitude. When an airplane is stationary on the ramp, it is also in equilibrium, but the aerodynamic forces are not a factor. In calm wind conditions, the atmosphere exerts equal pressure on the upper and lower surfaces of the wing. Movement of air about the airplane, particularly the wing, is necessary before the aerodynamic force of lift becomes effective. During flight, however, pressures on the upper and lower
surfaces of the wing are not the same. Although several factors contribute to this difference, the shape of the wing is the principal one. The wing is design .....

Reproduction: A Courting To Nature
Words: 967 - Pages: 4.... of courtship, spurning and love triumphant. And take note: these
are not the imaginings of some Disney screen-16 writer. Decades ago Konrad
Lorenz, a famed Austrian naturalist, made detailed studies of Greylags and
afterwards showed no hesitation in using words like love, grief and even
embarrassment to describe the behavior of these large, social birds.
At the same time he did not forget that all romance - animal and human - is
tied intimately to natural selection. Natural selection brought on the
evolution of males and females during prehistoric epochs when environmental
change was making life difficult for single-sex species such .....

Why We Have Seasons
Words: 773 - Pages: 3.... north and south poles. At this time both
hemispheres have the same amount of sun as the sun makes its way north.
Before the vernal equinox the sun hits the northern surface at an angle
instead of hitting it directly. By hitting the earth's surface at an angle
there is not as much radiation warming the surface. As the earth rotates
and the sun moves further north the temperature increases and the weather
turns warmer. During the three months of spring the sun continues to move
north and warming the earth more efficiently. At around June 21st the sun
is directly facing the tropic of cancer. At this time the movement north
comes to a ha .....

Cloning

Naturally, the cell that was starved will try to fuse with the healthy cell but it will need a little help. These two cells are then electrified thereby causing the two cells to fuse together combining their genetic structures.
Cloning / 3
Now that we have established the scientific basis of cloning, let me tell you how cloning can directly benefit humanity. There are many health issues that can be avoided, reversed and cured by the cloning of human cells and body parts. With the aid of cloning
technology, .....

Achondroplasia

The legs of a person with almost always become bowed and the elbows often cannot be straightened completely. Sometimes the person has limited twisting ability at the elbows. The hands are short, and the feet are short and flat. Another sign is double jointedness, caused by loose ligaments in some joints. Achondroplastic children can flex their finger, wrist, hip, and knee joints to an extreme degree because of this. These signs are usually apparent at birth, and can be diagnosed at that time .....
