Hemp: The Truth About The Earth's Greatest Plant
Words: 820 - Pages: 3.... another complete falsehood.
Hemp is the plant scientifically known as cannabis sativa. It is
referred to as hemp when it is grown for its fibers, stem, and seeds. Its leaves
and flowers produce the drugs marijuana and hashish. However, sterile breeds of
the plant are still illegal to grow in the U.S. Literally millions of wild hemp
plants grow throughout the entire Midwest today. Wild hemp, like hemp used for
industry purposes, is useless as an intoxicant. Yet U.S. drug law states that
one acre of this can result in the owner being sentenced to death. The death
penalty exists for growing one acre of perfectly harmless, non-intox .....

Network 2
Words: 448 - Pages: 2.... Internet. Internet is actually the short form of the word Internet work. Internet work means a network of networks. At one time, all of the different networks used different protocols. A user could talk to others on their network, but not to someone on a different network. The protocol TCP/IP solves this problem. It is what allows a person on one network to communicate with a person on a different network.
When I mentioned something to share in the network definition, it can be anything, an idea, document, or greeting. Networking allows use of applications on other computers, electronic mail (email), and real time discussions .....

Plants
Words: 1780 - Pages: 7.... carrying out photosynthesis. Today the world's biomass is
composed overwhelmingly of plants, which not only underpin all food webs
but also modify climates and create and hold down soil, making what would
otherwise be stony, sandy masses habitable for life.
Cell Structure and Function
The tremendous variety of plant species is, in part, a reflection
of the many distinct cell types that make up individual plants. Fundamental
similarities exist among all these cell types, however, and these
similarities indicate the common origin and the interrelationships of the
different plant species. Each individual plant cell is at least partl .....

Technology The End Of Mankind
Words: 509 - Pages: 2.... are afraid of the bug and what it will do. If this matter is not addressed soon it will be responsible for many casualties.
Another branch of technology that has caused casualties in the past and is bound to cause many more in the future is weapons. The weapon that has had the most impact is the gun. It has killed millions, not only in wars, but in everyday life as well. In addition, there is the atomic bomb that killed thousands at Hiroshima. More recently there is the nuclear missile that is capable of wiping out an entire major city. Moreover, there are many inventions that have been built with the intent to improve life only to .....

Achondroplasia
Words: 492 - Pages: 2.... When the child continues to walk legs begin to have a bowed-leg look. Occasionally, these curvatures are fixed. As the child continues to walk the kyphosis disappears and the back assumes a lordotic posture. If a delay in child’s walking occurs, the spine should be monitored closely for signs of gibbous formation. In infancy, hypercephalus can occur. Infants head circumference should be monitored close . Monthly checks of head circumference must be monitored. Radiologic studies are indicated if head circumference raises to disproportionately, or if symptoms of hydrocephalus. Child’s pediatrician should have a copy of head circumf .....

Alcoholism And Drug Abuse
Words: 1510 - Pages: 6.... living creates countless demands on ourselves both emotionally and physically. Stresses we encounter determine the demands on which we place on our mind and body. To free themselves of this stress, some people chose recreational drugs to put them in another frame of mind. The body, in most instances, craves a minute amount of the chemical to balance its desires; however, the mind says, "If a little is good, a lot is better."
Others chose drugs as substitutions for self-confidence, solutions to problems, relaxation, freedoms from anxiety, self-esteem, and satisfying feelings. Whatever the incentives may be, it is apparent that all of t .....

Hemp - Miricale Plant
Words: 362 - Pages: 2.... promotes sleep and relaxation, and relieves stress and migraines. Most importantly, fossil fuels could stay in the ground. The plant produces far more and safer chemical compounds suitable for conversion to methane than any other plant. This renewable fuel contains no sulfur and while growing helps remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere via photosynthesis. For thousands of years, all good paints and varnishes were made from an oil from the plant. Today, it has almost been totally replaced by chemically derived oils. In closing, it is estimated that if just 6 percent of all our farmable land were seeded with this plant, it could su .....

Current Status Of Malaria Vaccinology
Words: 2080 - Pages: 8.... is the Anophels Mosquito in which the life cycle of
Malaria both begins and ends. The parasitic protozoan enters the
bloodstream via the bite of an infected female mosquito. During her
feeding she transmits a small amount of anticoagulant and haploid
sporozoites along with saliva. The sporozoites head directly for the
hepatic cells of the liver where they multiply by asexual fission to
produce merozoites. These merozoites can now travel one of two paths. They
can go to infect more hepatic liver cells or they can attach to and
penetrate erytherocytes. When inside the erythrocytes the plasmodium
enlarges into uninucleated cells called trop .....

Cfcs Cause Deterioration Of The Ozone Layer
Words: 2231 - Pages: 9.... region is the troposphere which extends about 6.5 miles above
the planet's surface. The troposphere contains the oxygen that we breath and is
where a majority of our weather takes place.
Beyond the troposphere is the second region of the atmosphere, the
stratosphere. The stratosphere extends from roughly 6.5-30 miles from the
earth's' surface. The air on this region is much less dense than in the
troposphere, and it's a lot drier. The stratosphere is the area that contains
the majority of the ozone layer.
Past the stratosphere is the mesosphere which extends to 50 miles above
the planet. The last region is the thermosphere. The t .....

Remotely Operated Vehicles
Words: 278 - Pages: 2.... some usually have an on board camera. ROV's have been
used for the last thirty years. They have been doing tasks that divers can't, do
to Economical and safety reasons.
A Submersible is a piece of machinery designed to do an underwater function.
Submersible's and rov's are important to Marine biologists so they can study
underwater creatures. Geologists can use them to find out more about the
evolution of the Earth by studying the ocean floor. The ocean holds some
minerals that are becoming scarce on the Earth's surface. If we can set up
mining stations under the water it would also provide many jobs.
Undersea manufacturing plants .....
