.... feet. The cumuli become towering thunderheads. From outside the storm area, air moves in over the sea surface to replace the air soaring upwards in the thunderheads. The air begins swirling around the storm center, for the same reason that the air swirls around a tornado center. As this air swirls in over the sea surface, it soaks up more and more water vapour. At the storm center, this new supply of water vapor gets pulled into the thunderhead updrafts, releasing still more energy as the water vapor condenses. This makes the updrafts rise faster, pulling in even larger amounts of air and water vapor from the storm's edges. And a .....

.... surface and the surface of a rubber ball when it is rolled across the floor. The floor surface resists the motion of the rubber ball surface. This resistance or friction will slow down the moving object and eventually bring it to a stop. Friction exists between any two surfaces that touch, slide, or roll on one another. Any change in an object’s speed is called acceleration. An increase in speed is called positive acceleration, while a decrease in speed is called negative acceleration, or deceleration. Acceleration can also mean a change in direction as well as in speed. A force is needed to change the direction of an object, so a .....

.... the disadvantages of nuclear power far outweigh the benefits. Alternative sources of energy are making their way into the highly competitive field of electricity production. With the wealth of sources such as solar, wind, hydro or geothermal the dangers involved with fission could be solved by adopting these newer, safer methods. A main source of energy that could lead the way for the near future is solar energy. It is clean efficient and is already a large part of American and Canadian electricity production. "Solar energy already supplies about 6% of the nation's [U.S.A] energy ... the industry is still in an embryonic stage, and o .....

.... coming. Even though the technology exists to almost eliminate paper documents, many businesses have never heard about it. This technology is collectively known as Document Imaging. Imaging has evolved out of the necessity for businesses to manage the ever-increasing amounts of information(Porter- Roth Associates, 1996). The following statistics are evidence of the massive amounts of paper that exist in American business today: Over three trillion documents are currently stored in corporate offices in the U.S. alone and 95 percent of those are in paper from. One billion pages are generated a day in the United States. A typical executi .....

.... also has more heavily electrophilic and nucleophilic functional groups than adenosine as, for instance, seen in cyclic AMP. This means that caffeine will fit adenosine receptors as well as adenosine itself will. Thus, cyclic AMP remains active, rather than being broken down. Second among the effects of caffeine is phosphodiesterase inhibition. The phosphodiesterase class of enzymes includes a number of enzymes responsible for breaking down cyclic AMP, thus depriving the body of an energy supply. Caffeine fools phosphodiesterase into attacking it instead, which inhibits the breakdown of cyclic AMP. However, the concentration of caffeine requ .....

.... are too diverse to permit its localization in a single region of the brain. The working hypothesis shared by most investigators is that schizophrenia is a disease of neural connectivity caused by multiple factors that affect brain development. (3,4,5) Our current model of the causation of schizophrenia is very similar to that used to understand cancer. That is, schizophrenia probably occurs as a consequence of multiple "hits," which include some combination of inherited genetic factors and external, nongenetic factors that affect the regulation and expression of genes governing brain function or that injure the brain directly. Some people .....

.... legend that says that Osiris Khepera created himself out of a dark, boundless ocean called "Nu". Then out of this ocean, he created the universe. I will be writing about these theories: The Big Bang theory is what most people believe, also there is a theory called "Steady State", which is the opposite of the Big Bang theory. There is the theory of an "Oscillating Universe", which is sort of a compromise between the Big Bang theory, and the Steady State theory. There is also the religious theory, in which God created everything. There are a lot of different theories regarding the creation of the universe. It is a very controversial .....

.... bomb, the hydrogen bomb, caused worldwide concern. The atomic bomb was a bomb with great explosive force from the sudden release of nuclear energy through the fission, or splitting, of heavy atomic nuclei. The first atomic bomb was tested by the United States near Alamogordo, New Mexico. In the final stages of World War II, the U.S. dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and on Nagasaki three days later to force Japan to surrender. The explosion produces great amounts of heat, a shock wave, and intense neutron and gamma radiation. The region of the explosion becomes radioactively contaminated, and wind-borne radioactive pro .....

.... and phosphorus mixture can then be withdrawn, thereby removing the phosphate or phosphorus from the wastewater flow. Industrial Applications: The application of this reaction to the industrial world consists of a set of processes to filter out the phosphate. The setup is the following: Purpose: Restrict phosphates to aluminum phosphates for easier disposal of phosphorus. The first step in phosphorus removal is the Rapid Mix. In this stage, alum and waste or water runoff(known as effluent) is blended together as rapidly as possible with the use of a high-speed mixer called a "flash mixer." After this instant mixing, a slower .....

.... cure a lot faster and find easier ways of getting treatment to healthier foods. From this kind of example, genetic engineering should be a known and accepted practice. It is a safe way to create good quality foods, create new lives, and cure diseases. In May of 1994, the Food and Drug Administration approved a genetically engineered tomato called “Flavr Savr�. Many people cringe at the thought of eating them. These tomatoes, though, are proven better and healthier even though they are slow ripening. The idea of altering a plant's traits seems radical and new, but scientists have been doing it for years by breeding desired qualities .....
