Barbituates
... drugs that cause depression of the central nervous system and are generally used to induce europhia. D.C. Heath’s Perspectives on HEALTH defines europhia as a feeling of intense happiness and well being. Most users take the pills orally, often with alcohol. The most common way to get the barbiturates is in tablet form. Other ways to get barbiturates include ampoules, syrup, or capsules. For injection, which is rarely used because of its risk factor, capsules are opened and the powder is added to water. However, this can cause damage to the veins. Barbiturates come in different types such as Soneryl, Nembutal, Amytal, and Tuinal. Small doses relax the user, ...

Endangered Species 3
... species like the Silver-Back Gorilla or the Black-footed Ferret almost face extinction. Here is a list of endangered animals:Bottle Dolphin, Peacock, Wolf, Emperor Penguin, Koala, Reticulated Giraffe, Snowy Owl, and unfortunately hunderds of more. The death of these animals each year are all different and sometimes so simple.
There are two different kinds of causes that drastically cut Down the number of these endangered species:
Direct Causes
Direct Causes is when the animals are purposely hunted, trapped, fished, whaled, or seled to extinction. Hunting for sport has been responsible for endangering such animals as the Polar Bear and the Siberian Tiger. But the ...

Although the cause of autism is not completely understood, it is known that it has something to do with a neurological or biochemical dysfunction. Contrary to what was originally thought, autism is not a form of mental retardation. It manifests itself in varying degrees of severity, from profound to mild. Dr. Temple Grandin is an assistant professor at Colorado State University who was diagnosed as autistic at a young age, yet with proper help, she continued through school and earned a Ph.D.
Autism is usually diagnosed in the first three years of l ...

Radioactive Wastes
... emit.
Since the mid 1900's radioactive wastes have been stored in different
manners, but since several years new ways of disposing and storing these wastes
have been developed so they may no longer be harmful. A very advantageous way of
storing radioactive wastes is by a process called 'vitrification'.
Vitrification is a semi-continuous process that enables the following
operations to be carried out with the same equipment: evaporation of the waste
solution mixed with the additives necesary for the production of borosilicate
glass, calcination and elaboration of the glass. These operations are carried
out in a metallic pot that is heated in an indu ...

UFO Crash Near Roswell, NM
... July 2, 1947, during a severe thunderstorm, a saucer flew near
to the ground at a great velocity. It exploded. Its pieces scattered over
an area near Corona, New Mexico. The next day William "Mac" Brazel, foreman
of the Foster Ranch, and his seven-year-old neighbor, Dee, found the
remains of the wrecked UFO scattered over a large area. When Brazel drove
Dee back home, he showed some of the material to her parents. They all
agreed the material was unlike anything they had ever seen. On July 6
Brazel drove into town with a few pieces of the wreck. He showed the
material to the Chaves County Sheriff George Wilcox. The sheriff called the
Roswell Army Air Field(AAF) an ...

The Roswell Incident
... the
United States Air Force. That the weather balloon story was a cover-up has been
confirmed by individuals directly involved, including the late General Thomas
DuBose, who took the telephone call from Washington, D.C. ordering the cover-up.
Numerous other credible military and civilian witnesses have testified that the
original press release was correct and that the Roswell wreckage was of
extraterrestrial origin. One such individual was Major Jesse Marcel, the
Intelligence Officer of the 509th Bomb Group and one of the first military
officers at the scene.
On January 12, 1994, United States Congressman Steven Schiff of Albuquerque, New
Mexico, announced to the ...

Blood Pressure
... primary hypertension is unknown. It just happens but however, there are certain risk factors or associations such as hereditary factors, race, age, environmental and life-style factors (where you live, salt and other chemicals, weight, stress, alcohol, lack of exercise). The difference between primary and secondary hypertension is that we know the causes of secondary hypertension. Usually, the causes of secondary hypertension include renal artery stenosis (or other cause of increased plasma renin), renal parenchymal disease (glomerulonephritis, diabetic nephropathy, polycystic disease, obstructive uropathy), drugs (oral contraceptives, steroids), and increased ...

Early Health And Medicine
... diseases. After Pasteur's significant discovery people began to be much more conscious of their personal hygiene. Such as, brushing their teeht and bathing more persistently. Pastuer opened the doors to a series of new remedies and discoveries. Some of these would include pasteurized milk(you can see where it received it's name), bacteria, fermentation, yeast, and rabies:to name a few. Within a year of Pasteur's remedy for rabies, he treated and cured maore than 2,000 patients.
A German pathologist named Robert Kock (1843-1910) studied a disease called diptheria. Koch learned htat diptheria bacteria or bacilli could only be found in samples from a patients throa ...

Cloning
... a good one. If one of the parents had
a bad gene or hereditary disease this could be removed from the embryo and
replaced with another "clean" gene. This process is called embryo screening it
is used to determine if the child has received the defective gene. Several
embryos could be cloned, then the DNA from one of the embryos would then be
removed and standard genetic testing would be used to detect whether or not that
embryo contained the genetic disease. If this cloned embryo containd a disease
then one of the other embryos could be used for implantation in a parent, this
guarantees that the child would be free of genetic disease (Marshall 1025). For
those wh ...

Nuclear Fusion
... (produced from 30g of Lithium) would produce enough fuel for the lifetime electricity needs of an average person in an industrialized country. (Environmental Organizations, Source 4)
The problems with fusion have been numerous. One of the problems is attaining the correct temperature for fusion to take place without using more energy then you produce. Fusion reactions occur at a sufficient rate only at very high temperatures. Over 100 million degrees Celsius is needed for the Deuterium-Tritium reaction, while other reactions require even higher temperatures. (Hotta Labs, Source 1)
The density of fuel ions must be sufficiently large for fusion reactions to take pla ...
