All new Microsoft Word documents created on an infected computer will contain the virus, too.

Environmental Studies

In its haste to declare MTBE as a required ingredient in gasoline, the EPA failed to consider a basic chemical property of MTBE and its long-term effects upon the environment. Because MTBE is highly water-soluble, it dissolves in water, leading to higher concentrations of MTBE in many lakes in the California Sierra Nevada mountains and in many groundwater supplies. Hence, by addressing only one component of a system separately, the EPA failed to see the ramifications of our .....

Commerce on the internet consists mainly of passing credit card numbers and expiry date information electronically between the merchant and the customers. When commerce is conducted over the internet, a network is open to milions of potentially prying eyes. Moreover, there is no one to verify the validity of the credit card. To ensure that the person using the card is actually the card holder. The buyer might have exceeded the limit or can be using a stolen card. Likewise, the buyer has no assurance that the vendor on the other end is who he/she claim to be. Richard E. Smith .....

Salt And Its Uses
Words: 480 - Pages: 2.... researchers are now beginning to feel that salt has
gone too far. At the University of Alabama, a short-term research has been
done on 150 people on the effect of the intake of salt related to high blood
pressure. Result shows that those with normal blood pressure experience no
change at all when placed in a extremely low salt diet, or later when salt was
introduced, Of the hypertensive subjects, half of those on the low salt diet did
experience a drop in blood pressure, which returned to its previous leel when
salt was introduced.
Of course, these are other researcherswhgich tend to support the
findings. A small Indiana study .....

Panda Report
Words: 638 - Pages: 3.... 4-5 feet including a tail that is five inches long. Their vision is poor but their sense of smell is excellent. They have a woolly black and white coat, which is slightly oily to prevent water penetration.
Giant pandas are very cool looking animals. This is why we have to do everything we can to save them.
The giant panda’s breeding season takes place from March to May. Then the baby pandas are born three to six months later weighing only eighty-five to one hundred forty grams. Two cubs may be born from one mother at the same time, but only one will survive. The reason for this is because one baby panda alone requires a lot of c .....

Insulation

an inner layer made of 100% cotton.
It's the winter again and the weather is becoming colder. Each morning
many people wonder what to wear to stay as warm as possible, but they aren't
sure which material will keep them warmest. The experiment was chosen to see
which clothing insulator retains the most heat. "Insulation is material that
protects against heat, cold, electricity, or sound." (Science Encyclopedia,
1984). In this case the insulation will be protecting against a cold temperature.
The hypothesis is if denim, cotton T-shirt material, wool fabric,
polyester fabric .....

Becoming An Ecologist Is An Exciting Venture
Words: 1338 - Pages: 5.... air, water,
plants, and animals. Connections between living organisms and effects of their
interactions are ecologists' concerns. . . . .The balance of nature, wherever it
occurs, is what you will investigate and analyze"(17).
Since a career as an ecologist is usually long term, there are certain
characteristics a person should have in order to maintain a successful career.
One of these characteristics that is the most important is patience. Patience
is important because as an ecologist a person will have to at some point in
their career talk to another person who knows nothing of or about ecology.
Another reason why patience is impo .....

The Element Cesium
Words: 452 - Pages: 2.... is exposed to oxygen. This exposure causes oxides to form, where even the heat from oxidation is enough to melt and ignite this metal. Another major reaction of Cesium occurs with water and ice. Ice with a temperature as low as -177 degrees Fahrenheit can trigger a vigorous reaction. Because Cesium reacts so violently with organic compounds, it is considered the most reactive of Alkali metals. There are four principle compounds that make up Cesium’s structure: Cesium Chloride, Cesium Fluoride, Cesium Carbonate, and Cesium Sulfate. The most important compound is Chloride, which is used as a constituent of getter mixtures of vacuum tubes. .....

Climatic Change And Its Effect On Society
Words: 844 - Pages: 4.... large and impacting effects on the construction industry.
Compared to eastern Canada, the southern boreal forest region of western Canada
has a relatively dry climate. Thus, drought effects are one of the major
concerns being addressed by researchers in this region. climate modellers have
predicted a large increase in temperature for this region, which could lead to
even drier conditions and enormous stresses on vegetation in the western
Canadian boreal forest. This type of impact was observed following the 1988
drought it experiences, when there was a die-back of aspen over extensive areas
of the aspen parkland in Western Canada. Associate .....
