Memory Debate For Psychology
Words: 888 - Pages: 4.... or forgotten, activated human activity memories rapidly decay unless used or rehearsed.
Encoding can be an automatic process, this occurs when little or no effort, without awareness, and without interfering with our thinking about other things. Encoding can also be effortful processing; although we encode an enormous amount of information
unintentionally, many other types of information we remember only with much effort, rehearsal, and attention. We can forget things because of encoding failure. Sometimes we fail to encode information, so it never entered the memory system, short-term or long-term memory. A vast amount of what we sens .....

An Experiment In Edge Damage
Words: 983 - Pages: 4.... From the ventral view, the left side was
serrated. This seemed like the most appropriate side to use as a saw. A
small round twig, a centimeter thick, from a local deciduous tree was used
as the wood subject. The exact species of the tree is unknown; however, it
was a very hard wood and a light brown/tan color.
Initially, medium pressure was used on the flake and it was moved
in bi-directional strokes across the stick. After about thirty strokes,
the use edge angle prohibited the flake from cutting further in to the
stick. The cut was roughly three millimeters deep and three quarters
millimeters wide. It could be determin .....

Geothermal Energy
Words: 4709 - Pages: 18.... must take into consideration before geothermal energy
can be a possibility for a human resource. I will be discussing some of these
issues, questions, and problems.
In the beginning when the solar system was young, the earth was still
forming, things were very different. A great mass of elements swirled around a
dense core in the middle. As time went on the accumulation elements with
similar physical properties into hot bodies caused a slow formation of a
crystalline barrier around the denser core. Hot bodies consisting of iron were
attracted to the core with greater force because they were more dense. These
hot bodies sunk into .....

The China Syndrome
Words: 500 - Pages: 2.... the people running the plant were making a big mistake. He saw the people
raising the power back up to 100%. He tried to explain that there could be
another accident if they raised the power all the way because of a problem with
the pumps. The people didn't believe Jack and were starting to raise the power
up again. When Jack saw what they were doing he grabbed the security officer's
gun and forced everyone out of the control room. After he locked the door he
lowered the power down to 75% so the pumps wouldn't break.
Jack agreed to have a one on one interview with Kimberly so the public
would be warned. While the camera crew was on their .....

Protein Synthesis
Words: 770 - Pages: 3.... protein, which make up its native conformation. The first level, primary structure, is just the basic order of all the amino acids. The amino acids are held together by strong peptide bonds. The next level of protein organization is the secondary structure. This is where the primary structure is repeated folded so that it takes up less space. There are two types of folding, the first of which is beta-pleated sheets, where the primary structure would resemble continuous spikes forming a horizontal strip. The second type of folding is an alpha helix, which goes vertically forming a wavy line. An alpha helix is in the same shape of one s .....

From Water To Land
Words: 1191 - Pages: 5.... hips, shoulders, fingers, and toes, which developed sometime after lobe-finned fish, and before the first fully terrestrial vertebrates. The earliest tetrapod known is Acanthostega. It is also considered the most primitive tetrapod. It is very close to its fish ancestry, but still anatomically far from its terrestrial relatives. These creatures still lived in water, but they had a lot of the terrestrial tetrapod anatomical characteristics.
Introduction:
Before tetrapods existed, all vertebrates were confined to living in aquatic habitats. The only animals that lived on land were arthropods. Through natural adaptations, the fish developed .....

The Water And The Waves

molecules of air, tiny droplets of water, and small particles of dust.
These are represented by the columns of the pier.
The waves of the sea represent the sunlight. We know that the sunlight is
a blend of lights of many colors - as we can prove for ourselves by passing
it through a prism, or even through a jug of water, or as Nature
demonstrates to us when she passes it through the raindrops of a summer
shower and produces a rainbow. We also know that light consists of waves,
and that the different colors of light are produced by waves of different
lengths, red light by long waves and blue light by short waves. The
mixture of waves w .....

Diffraction And The Debye-Scherrer Camera
Words: 2086 - Pages: 8.... harmonic motion is the condition in which a particle that is moving along the x-axis has a displacement function given by the following relation
x = Acos(wt + f)
where x is the position along the x axis
A is the amplitude or in other words the maximum possible
displacement
w is the angular frequency and f is the phase constant
or phase angle and has units of radians per second.
The phase constant determines the position of the particle at time t = 0. The quantity (wt+ f) is called the phase. The above function x repeats itself whenever wt = n2p where n is an integer. The period T of the motion is the time it takes for the motion to .....

Cloning Has Science Gone Too Far
Words: 1295 - Pages: 5.... later gave birth to Dolly 1 .
Upon news of this, many people began to question the possibility of not only creating genetically identical sheep, but humans as well. There has been much controversy on whether or not the cloning of humans as well as animals is ethical or even moral. Also there has been much discussion as to whether or not the benefits of cloning outweigh the dangers.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS IN CLONING RESEARCH?
There is no doubt that Dr. Wilmut's new discoveries have brought an uproar of excitement between not only the scientific community, but the general public as well. Groups such as farmers, surgeons and even envir .....

The Effects Of Antibiotics On Bacterial Growth
Words: 1287 - Pages: 5.... according to their need of oxygen
to live. Those who do require oxygen to live are considered aerobes. The
bacteria who donβt use oxygen to live are known as anaerobes.
The shape of specific bacteria provides for the next step in the
identification process. Spherical bacteria are called cocci; the bacteria that
have a rodlike shape are known as bacilli; corkscrew shaped bacteria are
spirilla; and filamentous is the term for bacteria with a threadlike appearance.
Hans Christian Joachim Gram, a Danish microbiologist, developed a method
for distinguishing bacteria by their different reaction to a stain. The
process of applying Gra .....
