Environmental Satire
... and rubber gloves to dispose our radio active waste. It is not so much that we recognize the great discoveries and creations we have made, but more that we recognize all we do as humans to ensure our plentiful and gluttonous lifestyles.
Lets face it. We as humans waste countless hours of our lives worrying about the future. Whether it’s asteroids or Y2K, it’s always something. It is said that in the future, with global warming, temperatures outdoors will be too hot to survive in. But what is the future? Is the future tomorrow, maybe next month, or next century? The fact is by the time all of the problems that we worry about surface, we will ...

The Rain Forest
... one must be
knowledgeable about what a rainforest actually is. The two main types of
rainforests are temperate and tropical. Tropical rainforests are located in
Latin and South America, Africa, Southeast Asia, and other areas in which
temperatures stay above 80 degrees Fahrenheit year round. They can be found in
85 countries all over the world, however, 90 percent of them are concentrated
into fifteen countries, each containing over ten million hectares. Tropical
rainforests receive 160 to 400 inches of rain each year. Although these dense,
damp forests cover just 5 percent of the Earth's surface, they can provide homes
for between 50 and 90 percent ...

Phosphates
... attention recently. The focus is on
the environmentally harmful effects in household detergents. Wastewater, from
laundering agents, contains phosphates, which are said to be a water pollutant.
Most laundry detergents contain approximately 35% to 75% sodium
triphosphate (Na5P3O10), which serves two purposes. Providing an alkaline
solution (pH 9.0 to 10.5) is necessary for effective cleansing and also to tie
up calcium and magnesium ions found in natural waters and prevent them from
interfering with the cleansing role of the detergent.
Eutrophication is the progressive over-fertilization of water, in which
festering masses of algae's blooms, choking ...

Chicken Pox
... The
infected person will get to temperatures of one hundred and
two degrees Fahrenheit and that will last throughout the
breakout. The rash is quite itchy and becomes dry, crusted,
and falls off in a week. More bumps will come about every
three days. Scars will be present if they get infected, badly
scratched or removed. A physician is not usually not needed to make a
diagnosis but after the symptoms appear it is still best to
make sure it is the chicken pox and not something much
worse. The physician can easily make a diagnosis by
checking the basic symptoms. Chicken pox is controlled by keeping the infected
person and anything the infected person h ...

Solving The Mystery Of The Romanovs
... of the mitochondria genes. This DNA sequence accumulates
mutations ten times the rate of the nuclear DNA. This high mutation rate
results in unique patters of single nucleotide polymorphisms, which are
inhereited through generations. Because of the location of the
polymorphisms in the cells cytoplasm, during fertilization, mitochondria
are only passed on from the egg. This means that the mitochondria DNA is
passed on from the mother. This information becomes useful when using them
for identification purposes.
In any given cell, there are thousands of copies of mitochondrial
DNA. This relative abundance of mitochondrial DNA can be used by
scientists to obtain ...

Deforestation Of The Pacific Northwest
... out any activity that would threaten the
species or its' habitat. It is the latter part of the bill that causes the
controversy. Under the ESA, loggers should not be allowed to cut down the old-
growth of the forest. The old growth of a forest includes the largest and
oldest trees, living or dead. In the case of the North Coast forests, this
includes some thousand-year-old stands with heights above three-hundred feet and
diameters of more than ten feet.
In 1990, the number of spotted owls dropped to 2000 breeding pairs. The
preservation of any species contributes to the biodiversity of an area. In an
ecosystem, the absence of one species creates unfavorable co ...

Hypnosis 2
... many consider it sleep, it actually isn’t) (Hunter). The change in these states is from “Beta” into “Alpha”. Beta and Alpha are different terms used to describe the brain waves given off during these states. When the subconscious (subcon) or “Alpha” mind is responding, different commands, or suggestions, can be implemented into the mind. The subcon mind can then execute these imbedded commands without any intervening of the conscious mind and body (Hunter).
Hypnosis was first confirmed to be real by a Swedish therapist named Anton Mesmer around 1775. After publishing papers describing the Alpha Mind State, he named ...

Bipolar Disorder

broken into manic and depressive episodes. The depressive episodes are characterized by
intense feelings of sadness and despair that can become feelings of hopelessness and
helplessness. Some of the symptoms of a depressive episode include anhedonia,
disturbances in sleep and appetite, psycomoter retardation, loss of energy, feelings of
worthlessness, guilt, difficulty thinking, indecision, and recurrent thoughts of death and
suicide. The manic episodes are characterized by elevated or irritable mood, increased
energy, decreased need for sleep, poor judgment and insight, and often reckless or
irresponsible behavior. Bipolar affective disorder affects a ...

Hemophilia Manitoba
... X-chromosome. If a female is a carrier that means
that she has one bad gene and one good gene for this
disease. There is a fifty percent chance that she would
pass it on to her child because she can only pass on one of
the two chromosomes. If a male has hemophilia, he will
have normal sons and all of his daughters will be carriers
of the hemophilia disorder because all he can pass on is
the defective X-chromosome.
Males mostly have hemophilia, but women can also have
hemophilia. This is extremely rare though because two
defective X-chromosomes would be needed. In fact, the
first proven case of women having hemophilia was not until
the 1950 ...

Does Life Exist On Mars
... existent somebody must have really came
in contact with an alien otherwise the terms 'Alien , UFOS and Flying Sources'
would have never existed.
I however don't believe that living cells of any kind have ever existed in this
solar system apart from on earth. I do see the possibility that maybe other
solar systems is our solar system in history which is an interesting thought.
Just because NASA has found a single cell living creature in a meteorite doesn't
prove anything in my mind. Especially because of the fact that it has been on
earth for 12 years when over this time the cell could have attached itself to
the meteorite.
Nobody knows enough about the subject ...
