Depression 2
Words: 1177 - Pages: 5.... problems have also been associated with depression. A study shows roughly 80% of diseased individuals experience insomnia (depression.com 1). Possible problems may include: difficulty in falling asleep, waking up in the middle of the night with difficulty returning to sleep, waking up too early in the morning, brief periods of REM sleep, unusually long periods of stage 1 (light) sleep, or unusually brief periods of stage 3 and 4 ( deep, restorative) sleep (depression.com 1). Weight and depression are also commonly associated with each other. Many people begin loosing interest in eating which .....

Aurora Borealis 2
Words: 957 - Pages: 4.... lights. The general name for both is Aurora PolarisC since both displays occur at the earth=s poles.
WHAT CAUSES AN AURORA?
For many years, the ideas about what causes an aurora were left to old legends and unsubstantiated theories. The inuit believed that the northern lights were the spirits of dead relatives, dancing around in the sky, while the Vikings believed that they were caused by a fire on the edge of the world. In the fourteenth century, Aristotle described the auroras as jumping goats caused by the earth=s vapours being set on fire by meteors. Later on, in 1707, a Norwegian physicist claimed that they were caused by ste .....

Water And Its Importance
Words: 1880 - Pages: 7.... water stabilizes temperature in living organisms and its high heat of vaporization regulates earth's climate. One of the most unique things about water is the fact that it expands when it freezes unlike many other liquids. Its thermal and transparent properties protect aquatic life in freezing temperatures. All of these things combined help to sustain life and keep it constantly evolving. In the next couple of pages, we are going to go into detail of how it does this.
Water consists of two hydrogen atoms that are joined to one oxygen atom by covalent bonds. These bonds are polar bonds. The partial charges on different parts of water molecu .....

The Science Of Cloning
Words: 1666 - Pages: 7.... why they can't take a step back and
realize that cloning is basically an extension of current and accepted prac
tices. Also, the general public's fear shows up in the nation's
congress and even the president. Who knows the real opinions of the
individuals in congress, but as long as the general public is against
cloning, politicians will be too, so they can gain support from voters.
Even with all these setbacks, there are still major uses for cloning
research. Uses that will never present themselves unless people put down
their moral, ethical, and religious shields and allow the research to take
its course. Regardless of the majo .....

Detection Of Biological Molecules
Words: 1477 - Pages: 6.... groups. A chemical test that is sensitive
to these groups can be used to identify molecules that are in that class. This
lab is broken down into four different sections, the Benedict's test for
reducing sugars, the iodine test for the presence of starch, the Sudan III test
for fatty acids, and the Biuret test for amino groups present in proteins. The
last part of this lab takes an unknown substance and by the four tests,
determine what the substance is.
BENEDICT'S TEST
Introduction: Monosaccharides and disaccharides can be detected because of
their free aldehyde groups, thus, testing positive for the Benedict's test.
Such sug .....

Botany
Words: 643 - Pages: 3.... If you like designs and microscopy, you would probably find plant structure interesting. If microscopic organisms appeal to you, you should look into microbiology, phycology, or mycology. If you are artistic, ornamental horticulture and landscape design might be right up your alley. If you worry about feeding the hungry, you should study plant pathology or plant breeding. At some larger universities, you can even study specific types of , each with its own department. These departments include argonomy (field crops), microbiology (microbes like bacteria and fungi), horticulture (fruits, ornamentals, and veggies), and plant path .....

The Study Of Akali Metal Contamination In Road Side Soil
Words: 1187 - Pages: 5.... can lead to detrimental biological
effects. Flame atomic spectroscopy provides a technique that can quantify metal
concentrations in the extracts of the soil samples and consequently examine the
relationship between distance from the point of road salt application and akali
metal concentrations.
Experimental
Soil preparation: Six surface soil samples were collected at the intersection of
Cold Spring Lane and the exit ramp of Interstate 83, in northwest Baltimore city.
These samples were collected at distances from the roadway of 0m, 2m, 4m, 6m,
10m, and 20m. These samples were dried in a convection oven at 110°C for over 24
hours then .....

Center Of Gravity
Words: 958 - Pages: 4.... gravity far from where an observer would locate it.
Another example of the importance of the center of gravity is how
an airplane flies. If the center of gravity is too far forward, the plane
will have an unstable equilibrium and in turn will take a nose dive into
the ground. If the center of gravity is too far aft (back) the plane will
fall out of control.
You must limit the weight and its positioning on board the aircraft
to prevent these occurrences from happening. The engineers design an
airplane so that it has a maximum weight capacity of passengers, cargo,
fuel, and etc... The engineers design an airplane so that the center of

Nuclear Fusion
Words: 2376 - Pages: 9.... has a proton, neutrino and lots
of energy. I have no idea what a deuterium nucleus is, but is must be 10 times
cooler than just a regular nucleus. Such a reaction is not self sustaining
because the released energy is not readily imparted to other nuclei.
thermonuclear fusion of deuterium and tritium will produce a helium nucleus and
an energetic neutron that can help sustain further fusion. This is the basic
principal of the hydrogen bomb which employs a brief, controlled thermonuclear
fusion reaction. This was also how the car in the Back to the Future movie
worked. It had a much more sophisticated system of producing a fusion rea .....

Black Holes
Words: 688 - Pages: 3.... forms outside the
horizon, within which matter is forced to rotate with the black hole; in
principle, energy can be emitted from the ergosphere.
According to general relativity, gravitation severely modifies
space and time near a black hole. As the horizon is approached from
outside, time slows down relative to that of distant observers, stopping
completely on the horizon. Once a body has contracted within its
Schwarzschild radius, it would theoretically collapse to a singularity—that
is, a dimensionless object of infinite density.
Formation
Black holes may form during the course of stellar evolution. As
nuclear .....
