Cd Roms
... install in to your computer goes. Inside a hard drive it looks like large CD:ROM , but this one is magnetic. If you open one up it will look like egular record player. The needle is what writes the information onto the hard drive. The needle writes by the magnetic force that pushes it down on to the disk. Once it is on the hard drive , whenever you turn on your computer the information is always there for you when you need it.
A CD:ROM looks like a music compact disk , but they are not that much alike. First a CD:ROM has a lot more information than a regular compact disk. A CD:ROM has audio as well as visual information. Second a CD:ROM stores more data in i ...

Global Warming
... layer, which allows life to exist on the Earth's surface. All of these activities are unfavorably altering the composition of the biosphere and the Earth's heat balance. If we do not slow down our use of fossil fuels and stop destroying, the forests, the world could become hotter than it has been in the past million years. Average global temperatures have risen 1 degree Fahrenheit over the last century. If carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases continue to spill into the atmosphere, global temperatures could rise five to 10 degrees by the middle of the next century.
The warning will be the greatest at the higher latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere, with the la ...

Experimental Protein
... draft a regression line, which was useful in finding concentration of protein extract. An electrotransfer on PVDF membrane was done after the gel electrophoresis. These migrations of proteins based on their molecular weight of three solutions. Using the polyacrilamide electrophoresis, proteins were separated based on their molecular weight. Extraction buffer did not produce protein bands. Proteins with huge molecular weight did not travel far from the gel while low molecular weight proteins traveled long distance . Overall banding contrast was compared between same sample with different transferred volumes. The protein bands of ADH were closely related to s ...

Frogs
... and brown. are actually many different colors. The coloring of a frog depends mostly on where the frog lives. A lot of are red, yellow, orange, black and even combinations of colors. There is even a frog that is brown with two yellow stripes down its head and back and it has bright green legs.
II. Habitat of the frog
If you went on a tour of the world, you would find frogs on every continent except Antarctica. The family of frogs called Ranidae, include the leopard frog and the bullfrog. These frogs are found in North America, South America, Asia, Australia and Europe. The green-boned frogs and the arrow poison frogs are found only in Central and South A ...

Deforestation
... is "to divest or clear of forests or trees" and we must stop
deforestation to save our planet. My intent on writing this essay is to
enlighten the reader about the facts on deforestation and to express my opinions
about deforestation.
There are approximately 3 400 million hectares of forests in the world,
nearly 25% of the world's land area. Close to 58% of the forests are found in
the temperate/boreal regions and 42% in the tropics. For about a millennium,
people have benefited from the forests. Forest products range from simple
fuelwood and building poles to sophisticated natural medicines, and from high-
tech wood based manufactures to paper products. Environme ...

Manatees
... amazingly fast for its size ("Florida Manatee" 1). They can weigh up to a
ton, and get as long as fifteen feet. They are almost devoid of hair, except for
some whiskers on their face, and they have internal ears on the sides of their
head. Their nostrils are closed by valves, so they can accomplish such feats as
flips and quick turns without losing any air. Manatees have no hind legs, but
instead one big, flat, spatula-like tail (Sentman 327). This feature made people
confuse manatees with mermaids for nearly four centuries (O'Shea 66).
Many biologists say that manatees possibly originated or evolved from
ungulates such as elephants and cows because of the way th ...

Thoeries Of Evolution
... to different modes of life and environmental
conditions; Lamarck believed that environmental changes evoked in individual
animals direct adaptive responses that could be passed on to their offspring as
inheritable traits. This generalized hypothesis of evolution by acquired
characteristics was not tested scientifically during Lamarck's lifetime.
A successful explanation of evolutionary processes was proposed by
Charles Darwin. His most famous book, On the Origin of Species by Means of
Natural Selection (1859), is a landmark in human understanding of nature.
Pointing to variability within species, Darwin observed that while offspring
inherit a resemblance ...

Doublespeak: Nuclear Power Plants
... uses
misleading language, and words understood by nuclear employees only, or
euphemisms and jargon, to mislead the public and make them believe that there is
nothing to be afraid of and that there is no possibility of a major accident.
They take the public's biggest fears, meltdowns and contaminations, and make
them into "events" and "infiltrations." This use of doublespeak is misleading to
the public and may make them believe that a major accident hasn't happened, or
the accident was a normal event or minor incident.
In 1979 a valve in the Three Mile Island stuck open, allowing coolant,
an important part of the plant, to escape from the reactor. An install ...

Effects Of Massage Theropy On The Central Nervous System
... about massage are sometimes outcomes of rigorous research, but more often-than-not, they are wishful thinking or hypotheses based on the anatomical structures and physiology of the body. ... unfortunately, there is very little to be found in the literature on the physiological effects of massage and very few scientific studies have been undertaken in this area." Furthermore, the small amount of empirical research that does exist, more often than not, does not define the kind of touch or massage methodology employed, and massage is often rolled in with a range of other therapeutic methods (Westland 1993).
Nevertheless, interest in massage as a valid means of ther ...

Lenz's Law And Faraday's Law Of Induction
... the
coil; and this induced current produces its own magnet field. If the distance
between the coil and the magnet decreases; so the magnetic field, and therefore
the flux, through the coil increases. The magnetic field of the magnet points
upward. To oppose this upward increase, the field produced by the induced
current must point downward. Thus Lenz's law tells us that the current must move
by the use of the use of the right hand rule. If the flux decreases, so the
induced current produces an upward magnetic field that is "trying" to maintain
the status quo.
Let us consider what would happen if Lenz's law were just the reverse.
The induced current would pro ...
