Consciousness As Determined Through The Times
Words: 1041 - Pages: 4.... mind was what separated man from lower forms of life. It is an attribute characterized by sensation and voluntary movement which described the difference between normal waking state of animals and men and their condition when asleep.2 Other descriptions included an analysis of consciousness as a form of relationship or act of the mind toward objects in nature, and a view that consciousness was a continuous field or stream of essentially mental "sense data."
The method believed by most early writers in determining consciousness was introspection—looking within one’s own mind to discover the laws of it’s operation. This belief .....

Computer Viruses
Words: 454 - Pages: 2.... to any program that accesses the infected file. A Trogan horse virus (named after the Greek myth) hides within or is designed to look like s legitimate program.
Some viruses interrupt processing by freezing a computer system temporarily and then displaying sounds or messages. Other viruses contain time bombs or logic bombs. A time bomb is a program that performs an activity on a particular date. A logic bomb is a program that performs an activity when a certain action occurs, such as an employee being terminated. A worm, which is similar to a virus, copies itself repeatedly until no more memory of disk space remains.

Air Pollution
Words: 320 - Pages: 2.... utilities do not remove pollutants but
simply boost them higher into the atmosphere. These pollutants may then be transported
over great distances, causing adverse effects such as acid rain in areas far from the
emission site. The worldwide increase in the burning of coal and oil since the late 1940s
has led to increasing concentrations of carbon dioxide. The resulting greenhouse effect has
reduced the escape of infrared radiation from the earth, causing a possible global warming
trend.
The Prevention of Air Pollution
To cut down on all the pollution being released into the air, we have removed the
pollutant before materials are used, .....

Geography Reading Project (timeline)
Words: 1145 - Pages: 5.... One of the representatives form the company that sent the professor back in time goes to the site in Scotland and explains what’s going on to all the other of archeologists and asks for a few volunteers to go back and bring the professor back to the present.

How Earthquakes Are Caused
Words: 395 - Pages: 2.... is pushed a bit under the other
normally. At the sea floor to continent boundary, the sea floor is
subducted. As the plates move together, molten material from the mantle
seeps up between the converging plates. The gap is closed as the plates
move more into each other, locking the molten material in. This, by the way,
happens at all of the convergent boundaries. After much time, pressure
builds up as the molten material churns in its chamber. It gets hotter, and
as we know from the laws of physics, heat rises due to its kinetic energy.
So, as the pressure get to be too much, the molten material goes up.
As you may already know, molten mat .....

Tourette Syndrome
Words: 1363 - Pages: 5.... functions: sensory functions, integrative functions, and motor functions.
In sensory functions, your body’s sensory receptors detect many different stimuli in and outside of your body. For example, your sensory receptors may detect a change in your blood temperature, or a change outside of your body such as a touch on the arm. Your body then goes through a process know as its integrative function. This is when your nervous system processes information sent via your sensory neurons and in a way “makes decisions” regarding appropriate responses. When all is said and done during this process a decision is made and sent through inter .....

Dvd
Words: 511 - Pages: 2.... films can be stored with room to spare, and also fast data access enables you to read from DVD the same as a hard-disk drive. The best thing of all about the DVD-ROM drive is the fact that it is backward compatible with standard CD-ROM and CD audio discs.
DVD-RAM
DVD-RAM stands for Digital Versatile Disc - Random Access Memory, and is the approved format by the Official DVD Forum. DVD-RAM are dual sided and can hold up to 2.6 gigabytes per side. They use phase-change as a recording material, “wobbled land and groove” recording method, embossed pits for header information, Zoned Constant Linear Velocity (ZCLV) rotational control .....

Drinking Water Contamination
Words: 4200 - Pages: 16.... that people with weakened immune systems should consult with their doctors and consider boiling their drinking water to kill any cryptosporidium.[2]
This is just the tip of the iceberg. Some scientists believe that for every outbreak reported in the United States, another ten may be occurring.[3] One such study found that as many as one in three gastrointestinal illnesses — often chalked up to "stomach flu" — are caused by drinking water contaminated with microorganisms.[4]
Such microbial-related outbreaks say nothing about the many other hazards borne by our nation's water supply. Researchers have shown that millions of Americans re .....

Cloning 8

In one method of artificial cloning used in plant breeding, cells are cut from a plant and placed in a flask with a nutrient medium. The cells grow and divide, forming embryonic tissues that are transferred to soil, where they produce complete plants. Grafting is another method of cloning used in Horticulture. Matching cuts are made in the stems of two plants, which are then fitted together so that their transport systems are in contact. The wounded area heals, and the two stems become a single physiological unit. All the McIntosh apple trees now in use a .....

Hammerhead Sharks

this grey shark. The maximum length is about 12 feet.
2. Bonnethead (Spyrna tiburo)-With a head shaped like a shovel the bonnethead
rarely grows more than four feet long. This shark is commonly seen inshore.
3. Smooth hammerhead (Sphyrna zygaena)-Bronze with dusky fin tips, it can grow
to thirteen feet.
4. Great hammerhead (Sphyrna mokarran)-Attaining a length of a possible 18 feet,
this is the largest and most dangerous of all the hammerheads.
One of the most interesting things about the hammerheads is the unique
shape of their heads. Ever since scientists started to study the hammerhead
they have speculated about the use of .....
