Center Of Gravity
... is added
or subtracted. Many toys that have trouble balancing themselves, have their
actual center of gravity far from where an observer would locate it.
Another example of the importance of the center of gravity is how
an airplane flies. If the center of gravity is too far forward, the plane
will have an unstable equilibrium and in turn will take a nose dive into
the ground. If the center of gravity is too far aft (back) the plane will
fall out of control.
You must limit the weight and its positioning on board the aircraft
to prevent these occurrences from happening. The engineers design an
airplane so that it has a maximum weight capacity of passengers, cargo,

Clubfoot
... history of clubfeet began as far back as 400 B.C. Hipocrates was the first to describe it. He used bandages to treat it. As time progressed so did the treatment methods. In about 1743 gentle stretching was recommended. During that same century, a mechanical device resembling a turnbuckle was used to help stretch the tendons. By this time was pretty well known around the world, using the typical stretching and splinting methods. In the 1800’s plaster of paris was first introduced, and later that same century, the introduction of aseptic technique and anasthesia diminished, but not eliminated infection. As the 70’s and 80’s rolled around, other more reliable ...

Gps
... want the computer inside their car. But there's also another option, however, less convenient; laptops are being used by millions of people everyday, so with a CD-ROM drive and a antenna, you can hook up your laptop to your car with an antenna and have the same results as the ones that come with cars.
Just because we have these in our cars however, doesn't mean that we won't get lost, but it is more difficult to get lost, and it's definetly easier to find your way around if you do get lost. When get in your car, all you have to do is type in your destination and the computer will show you where your destination is, aswell as how to get there and the easiest and ...

Vertebrate Adaptions For Terrestrial Life
... gas exchange can occur. Inside the
gills of aquatic animals, the circulatory system removes oxygen, and delivers
waste carbon dioxide. Land vertebrates have developed a different approach to
the problem of gas exchange, as water is not present in all of the terrestrial
environment. Terrestrial vertebrates have developed lungs to solve this problem.
Air enters through the nasal passages, or the mouth, passes through the trachea,
then branches off at the two bronchi, and goes through many branching passages
called bronchioles, which end in alveoli. Alveoli are sack-like structures where
the circulatory system meets the respiratory system.
Since terrestrial ver ...

Mycardial Infarction
... attack often means the left ventricle is not pumping adequately. Congestive heart failure may be a threat at this time.
Symptoms of a heart attack may begin suddenly, with a sharp, sever pain in the chest which may radiate to the left arm and shoulder. Other symptoms may include restlessness and confusion; the skin may be cold and clammy, dyspnea, cyanosis, a drop in blood pressure, and a drop in body temperature. A rapid and irregular pulse may also be a sign of a resent MI.
In the beginning of the twentieth century, bedrest was the only thing that could be done for heart attacks. Then nitroglycerin was found to restore coronary circulation and relieve the pain. ...

Perception: Seeing Is Believing - UFOs
... actuality they haven't gotten us much further
on the mission for proof of other living beings in the universe. But in a
universe so incomprehensibly large that we no not even a boundary, I sincerely
doubt that the human race is the only form of life.
It seems certain scientists have come up with other hypotheses
concerning UFO's. While all astronomers yearn for a concrete explanation on
UFO's, their beliefs on their origin contrast. Many looking for a more
scientific definition disregard UFO's as nothing more than a mere
misinterpretation of a plane, weather balloon, or meteor. Some have gone so far
as to say that specific witnesses to UFO's have seen nothing ...

Consciousness As Determined Th
... or "mental stuff" unlike an object from the physical world. Others deferred that the conscious mind was what separated man from lower forms of life. It is an attribute characterized by sensation and voluntary movement which described the difference between normal waking state of animals and men and their condition when asleep.2 Other descriptions included an analysis of consciousness as a form of relationship or act of the mind toward objects in nature, and a view that consciousness was a continuous field or stream of essentially mental "sense data."
The method believed by most early writers in determining consciousness was introspection—looking within ...

Pheromones
... behavior when detected by the nose. In insects and animals, most
sexual and social behavior is controlled by pheromones.
Humans have used perfumes for thousands of years, but there is a basic
difference between perfume and pheromones. Pheromones are produced by the body
and usually do not smell at all pleasant, whereas perfumes are either
synthesized or extracted from natural products and are employed because of their
pleasant smell.
Scientific research suggests that there are human pheromones for both
the male and the female. Females have a better developed sense of smell and
testing indicates that they are more responsive to male pheromones ...

Hydrogen: The Fuel Of The Future
... as a fuel gas in a H2/02 powered
engine or the newly devised solid state pellet of hydrogen isotopes that
contains about the equivalent of 5000 cubic feet of hydrogen and is broken down
and releases gas into the second chamber where it goes to the engine for use.
There are many ways to get pure hydrogen out of many compounds using methods
such as electrolysis and chemical reactions. One of the easiest ways is using a
chemical reaction. Simple chemicals (aluminum,sodium hydroxide, and water) can
be reacted in the home to produce heavy hydrogen to power your furnace or your
hot water heater . No electrical power at all is required. The reaction also
gives off a trem ...
