Black Holes
Words: 806 - Pages: 3.... black hole will swallow up the gas from the smaller galaxy over the next 100 million years. Researchers believe that while the gas is being swallowed by the black hole, the process will produce some amazing fireworks.
The second puzzling question that astronomers are trying to answer is why isn't the black hole at the center of the galaxy? According to images from the Hubble Space Telescope, the black hole is 20 light-years from the center of the galaxy, but since the black hole is so massive it is hard to explain how it could have been moved. One idea is that the black hole is moving itself. Some astronomers think that the disk of du .....

Aids 5
Words: 1096 - Pages: 4.... exclusively male homosexuals. Later patients included those who used
unsterilized intravenous needles to inject drugs; hemophiliacs (persons with a
blood-clotting disorder) and others who had received blood transfusions;
females whose male sexual partners had AIDS; and the children of parents
with AIDS. However since 1989, heterosexual sex was found to be the
fastest growing means of transmission of the virus, with 90 percent of the
new cases coming from heterosexual sex.
How AIDS Is Spread
AIDS is transmitted by direct contact of the bloodstream with body
fluids that contains the AIDS virus, particularly blood and semen .....

The membranes of the ER usually form a tightly packed and flattened sac-like structures, that form inter-connected compartments within the cytoplasm. The internal space formed by the membrane sheets is known as the ER lumen. In most cells the ER lumen forms a single internal compartment. The membranes of other organelles are not connected to the ER and appear to form separate distinct compartments within the cytoplasm.
The ER membranes and lumen contain a large number and variety of enzymes which c .....

Role Of Government Intervention In Environmental Issues
Words: 824 - Pages: 3.... prevent pollution. This is scientifically impossible and it would have
severely negative economic impact on the industries. So the core issue becomes
the fact no matter what, there will always be pollution, as long as these
industries exist. So we should focus on how we can minimize this and yet at the
same time have an efficient market system? Furthermore, we should also focus on
how we can accomplish this so that sustainable growth and development can take
place. So there is definitely a need for some form of government intervention
to enforce and monitor this. Reason being that there is always an element of
equality that has to .....

Into The Depths Of A Black Hole
Words: 1263 - Pages: 5.... forces and form a hot core, combined from all the energy of the two
gas clouds. This energy produced is so great when it first collides, that a
nuclear reaction occurs, and the gases within the star start to burn
continuously. The Hydrogen gas is usually the first type of gas consumed in a
star and then other gas elements such as Carbon, Oxygen, and Helium are consumed.
This chain reaction fuels the star for millions, or billions, of years
depending upon the amount of gases there are. The star manages to avoid
collapsing at this point because of the equilibrium achieved by itself. The
gravitational pull from the core of the s .....

Toxic Waste
Words: 530 - Pages: 2.... Laws banned the use of DDT and also required the reduction of lead in gas. DDT is still used in developing countries on the malaria-carrying mosquito. Oil spills also have harmful effects, luckily chemicals can neutralize the oil before massive damage occurs. In 1983 the Dow Chemical Company’s factory, a major producer of chemicals, showed contamination from dioxin. Dow undertook a 3 million dollar study of the material. The company announced that Dioxin is less health and life threatening.
High-temperatures are used to reduce the toxicity of waste. These processes use plasma technology to make the waste more environmental .....

History Of The Aircraft Propeller
Words: 1521 - Pages: 6.... the late 1700's to early 1800's. Only after experimentation did the inventors conclude that more propulsive power could be obtained by merely straightening out the surface of the airscrew blades. Attempts to utilize the "straight blade" propeller were made by balloonists. These contraptions were quite strange and hardly fulfilled their purpose of actually propelling the balloon. The basic propeller had evolved from the simple concepts of da Vinci, and was slowly becoming an effective means of aerial propulsion. To reach the next plateau of flight an increased knowledge of the propeller would be needed, and the mysteries of the propeller .....

Research And Patterns Of Thinking
Words: 422 - Pages: 2.... I also wasn't real sure of where to begin. I decided to begin with location and money, which are important when deciding a college. Next I decided to visit the few I singled out which greatly helped me choose this for my education. Next I had to perform and even harder task, choosing a major. It's very difficult to decide what you want to do with the rest of your life in just a short time. I had the plans of working in the woods, so I talked with some friends who work with wildlife conservation and they told me parks and recreation was the way to go. After this strenuous research, I was very glad to get it over with.
Another time I .....

Bipolar Disorders
Words: 1763 - Pages: 7.... episodes are characterized by intense feelings of sadness and despair that can become feelings of hopelessness and helplessness. Some of the symptoms of a depressive
episode include anhedonia, disturbances in sleep and appetite, psycomoter retardation, loss of energy, feelings of worthlessness, guilt, difficulty thinking, indecision, and recurrent thoughts of death and suicide (Hollandsworth, Jr. 1990 ). The manic episodes are characterized by elevated or irritable mood, increased energy, decreased need for sleep, poor judgment and insight, and often reckless or irresponsible behavior (Hollandsworth, Jr. 1990 ). Bipolar affective disord .....

Global Warming
Words: 711 - Pages: 3.... changes caused by human
activities--could cause the Earth's surface to warm up to a dangerous degree.
Since 1850 there has been a mean rise in global temperature of approximately 1°
C (approximately 1.8° F). Even a limited rise in average surface temperature
might lead to at least partial melting of the polar icecaps and hence a major
rise in sea level, along with other severe environmental disturbances. An
example of a runaway greenhouse effect is Earth's near-twin planetary neighbor
Venus. Because of Venus's thick CO2 atmosphere, the planet's cloud-covered
surface is hot enough to melt lead.
Water vapor is an important "g .....
