While it has been suggested that recreational use of the drug has dropped, a recent report on CNN claimed that 4.4% of 8th graders have tried it. is considered to be one of, if not the, most potent hallucinogenic drug known. Small doses of (1/2 - 2 ug/kg body weight) result in a number of system wide effects that could be classified into somatic, psychological, cognitive, and perceptual categories. These effects can last between 5 and 14 hours. Table 1: Ef ...

The Creation Of The Universe
... Osiris Khepera
created himself out of a dark, boundless ocean called "Nu". Then out of this
ocean, he created the universe. I will be writing about these theories: The Big
Bang theory is what most people believe, also there is a theory called "Steady
State", which is the opposite of the Big Bang theory. There is the theory of an
"Oscillating Universe", which is sort of a compromise between the Big Bang
theory, and the Steady State theory. There is also the religious theory, in
which God created everything.
There are a lot of different theories regarding the creation of the
universe. It is a very controversial topic, because most theories don't follow
the stor ...

Atm Network
... to make multiple connections on a single line. The public switched telephone networks (PSTNs) expanded, but with the circuit switched transfer mode remaining in use. This is because it provided an obvious way of keeping the constant connection necessary for voice traffic.
The invention of the transistor and the concept of pulse code modulation (PCM) allowed digital communications to be developed in the late 1960's. The interconnection of computer systems over telecommunication networks soon became a requirement. Modems were used at first to generate analogue signals compatible with the PSTNs from the digital computer data to allow such interconnections. The al ...

Copper Report
... (atomic number) and 35 neutrons. It's atomic weight is 65.39. Copper is an orangy, red metal that is found in ores as a solid form. It can be found in such countries as the United States, Chile, Zambia, Zaire, Peru, and Canada. The most important copper ores are the sulfides, oxides, and carbonates. From these copper is obtained by smelting, leaching, and electrolysis. It's alloys, brass and bronze, long used, are still very important; all American coins are now copper alloys; gun metals also contain copper. The most important compounds are the oxide and the sulfate, blue vitrol; copper compounds such as Fehling's solution are widely used in analytica ...

Nuclear Energy: Uranium Fission
... fast breeder reactor, produces more than 24,000,000 MJ/kg
(Energy 27). Those numbers alone are astounding.
Uranium is also abundant, thanks to recent discoveries of large reserves.
At present, uranium is only being mined and separated from ore. However, a
huge untapped source is our oceans. Sea water contains 3.3x10^(-9) (3.3 parts
per billion) of uranium, so the 1.4x10^18 tons of sea water contains 4.6x10^9
tons of uranium. All the world's electricity usage, 650GWe could therefore be
supplied by the uranium in sea water for 7 million years(Energy 25). This is a
only a theoretical number because it is not possible to get all of the uranium
out of our v ...

Archaeology
... human action usually suggest repetitiveness or a pattern of activity that can be discerned by the archaeologist. For example in the Olsen-Chubbuck site in Colorado, a bison graveyard was discovered of 190 bison. The pattern or relationship between the bones and how they were found gives the archaeologist clues as to how the bison were butchered. Some bones were found with spear points in the bodies, some whole skeletons were found closer to the bottom, and some bones were scattered all over. It can be inferred from the patterning of the bison bones that they were butchered differently.
Middle range theory also plays a part in the Olsen-Chubbuck site. From the ...

Adolescent Depression: The Under Acknowledged Disease
... looked in children and adolescents is because "children are not always able to express how they feel." Sometimes the symptoms of mood disorders take on different forms in children than in adults. Adolescence is a time of emotional turmoil, mood swings, gloomy thoughts, and heightened sensitivity. It is a time of rebellion and experimentation. Blackman (1996) observed that the "challenge is to identify depressive symptomatology which may be superimposed on the backdrop of a more transient, but expected, developmental storm." Therefore, diagnosis should not lay only in the physician's hands but be associated with parents, teachers and anyone who interacts with t ...

Gene Therapy 3
... this procedure for members of my family or friends who are having babies, and/or for a society as a whole.
There are many reasons as to why I do not agree to the procedure of gene therapy eradicating homosexuality from humans eventually and permanently. One reason that I do not agree with the procedure is because I believe it would eliminate the freedom of sexual preference throughout our society. As Thomas Jefferson stated in "The Declaration of Independence," "We hold these truths to be self- evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit ...

How To Build A Pond
... forced. Simple shape pond shapes are best. Sharp curved edges or too many curves look artificial.
Choose plants for the pond and its surroundings that make the pond look genuine. Plants at the water's edge are usually different from those found on the surroundings higher ground. Especially reminiscent of natural ponds are large plant's that leaves overhanging the water's edge, and plants with long thin, grassy foliage that grows in the shallows. These will all help to cover the water edge, which is almost never seen in a natural pond. Most nurseries sell aquatic plants. A pond that is meant to look natural requires much less maintenance than a formal pool, were c ...

... of energy they 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
