Cloning
... of a tumor in the body of an individual is, in effect, the formation
of a clone of malignant cells. Humans have learned from nature and started
their cloning saga also. 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 p ...

Hurricanes
... in the air condenses. As it condenses it drives the
upper drafts to heights of 50,000 to 60,000 feet. The cumuli become towering
thunderheads.
From outside the storm area, air moves in over the sea surface to replace
the air soaring upwards in the thunderheads. The air begins swirling around the
storm center, for the same reason that the air swirls around a tornado center.
As this air swirls in over the sea surface, it soaks up more and more water
vapour. At the storm center, this new supply of water vapor gets pulled into the
thunderhead updrafts, releasing still more energy as the water vapor condenses.
This makes the updrafts rise faster, pulling ...

UFOs And Alien Life
... are responsible for over 90% of sightings.
The Air Force can prove UFOs do not exist since the sightings have been missed as hoaxes and human misconceptions. Humans have mistaken "meteor trails, comets, odd shaped clouds, balls of lightning, burning marsh gases, airplanes, lights of cars, birds, and many other objects as UFOs," (Kraske 22). Pranksters have also misled UFO investigation by doing actions that confuse and mislead humans. For example, they flash images of car headlights and city lights on the Earth. Pranksters also confuse people by tossing discs from tall buildings and taking pictures of spaceship models. One man was suspected of taking pictures ...

Black Holes
... exactly a black hole is, we must first take a look at the basis for the cause of a black hole. All are formed from the gravitational collapse of a star, usually having a great, massive, core. A star is created when huge, gigantic, gas clouds bind together due to attractive forces and form a hot core, combined from all the energy of the two gas clouds. This energy produced is so great when it first collides, that a nuclear reaction occurs and the gases within the star start to burn continuously. The Hydrogen gas is usually the first type of gas consumed in a star and then other gas elements such as Carbon, Oxygen, and Helium are consumed.
This chain reaction ...

Geography Examine The Reasons For Inner City Initiatives And
... to make our inner cities much better places to live, work, and invest”. The inner city programme specified 6 aims:
- to enhance job prospects and the ability of residents to compete for them
- to bring land and buildings back into use
- to improve housing conditions
- to encourage private sector investment
- to encourage self-help and improve social fabric, and
- to improve environmental quality.
The Government also set up programmes which would help these aims to be met, such as the Urban Development Corporations (e.g. LDDC London Docklands Development Corporation) and the availability of grants for urban development.
The inner cities had many problem ...

Cloning
... CAN relate to humans.
As President Clinton stated-"Attempting to clone a human being is unacceptably dangerous and morally unacceptable to our society..legislation must reaffirm our most cherished beliefs about the miracle of human life and the god-given individuality each person pocesses". Every person has his or her own mind. It would be cruel to make human clones without real parents, without being unique. If you were to make a copy of a human, you would not be treating that child as an individual. While many people want to be cloned, nobody wants to be a clone.
We must also remember that immoral means never justifies the end, no matter what benifits ...

Scenes Of Nature
... and interesting shapes.
At night the sky becomes enchanting and glorious. When the stars are out
the sky is undeniably exquisite. The skys deep shades range from blue at
dawn to deep oranges and purple at dusk. The sky scenes are genuinely
picturesque.
The forest changes it scenery in seasons instead of day and night
like the sky. In the summer the forest is filled with majestic shades of
green. The fall brings colorful shades of oranges, reds, and yellows. The
winter deprives the forest of its colorful splendor, but brings a different
type of beauty all together. In the spring all of the green magnificence
returns. The forest is breathtaking anytime ...

Taking The Pill Depression And
... in the brain. Neurotransmitters are chemicals that carry messages from one nerve cell to another. Nerve cells do not touch. There are microscopic gaps between them called synapses. For a nerve impulse to travel from one nerve cell to another, the sending cell releases a tiny amount of one of the neurotransmitters, which transmits the signal to the second cell, and so on around the body. After a nerve impulse has been sent across a synapse, special enzymes clear away the neurotransmitter so that another impulse may be sent.
The first antidepressants, monoamine oxidase (MAO) inhibitors, were discovered accidentally during the 1960's by researchers wh ...

The Laser
... radiations, ultra- violet, X rays,
micro waves and gamma rays. The wavelength of the light is important to the
subject of the laser. A laser is made up of COHERENT light, a special kind of
light in which the wavelengths of the light are all the same length, and the
crests of these waves are all lined up, or in PHASE. The word Laser is an
acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. What does
that mean? Basically a laser is a device which produces and then amplifies light
waves and concentrates them into an intense penetrating beam.
The principles of the laser (and it's cousin the maser) were established
long before these devices w ...
