... that the possibility of life flourishing in outer space relies on favorable conditions or environments within a given area in a solar system. There is even some present day proof that life can flourish in some not so favorable environments as found with the development of algae on many of Earth's deep sea thermal vents, as well as bacteria that lives beneath the Earth's icy polar tundra's in the arctic and Antarctic. George W. Wetherill even notes that “Even if a planet or moon could not support life globally, each could contain a tiny niche where life could thrive” (Science News, 328). What are the most favorable conditions for life to develop? It is now known ...

... It is also possible that Uranus and Neptune’s core is a liquid instead of a solid. also have about the same rotational characteristics and all have rings around them. Jupiter, the first of , reigns supreme throughout the solar system. Named after the Roman god Jove, the ruler of Olympus; Jupiter is the fifth planet from the sun and is also the largest planet in the Earth’s solar system. It is 318 times more massive than Earth and is two thirds of the planetary mass in the solar system. Jupiter’s surface, unlike earth, is gaseous and not a solid. It is about 90% hydrogen and 10% helium with traces of methane, ammonia, water and rock. Jupiter’s interior is ve ...

... is greasy, easily powdered, and very dark in color. Diamond is the hardest gem on Mohs’ hardness scale and graphite is the softest. Diamond is very hard because of its dense packing and interlocking atomic arrangement. Graphite, on the other hand, although it is the same element, is more loosely packed and has a six-sided, layered configuration, which makes it soft (Pough, 1991). The differences between graphite and are accounted for by the conditions in which they are created. form over long periods of time, between 100 km and 200 km below the surface. At this great depth, carbon gets a chance to cool very gradually, forming diamond crystals. When volcanic e ...

... again began to understand that epilepsy was caused by a brain malfunction. Two European physicians, John Hughlings Jackson and W.R. Gowers, studied people with epilepsy at the National Hospital for Paralyzed and Epileptics in London and proved Hippocrates' theory that epilepsy is a brain malfunction. Still, the 19th century health care systems in Europe isolated people with epilepsy and forced them to live in colonies away from society. Until as late as the 1950¡¦s, people rarely talked about their epilepsy and therefore hid the disorder from the public. While there are some recognized causes to epilepsy the vast majority of cases have no known cause. In cases ...

... is an extremely Labour intensive activity and therefore it is essentially a 100% value adding process. It could possibly be labelled as a unique commercial phenomenon, but it requires much maintenance and a continual need for improvement and enhancement. The software industry can be split into three broad sectors: ? Small Office, Home Office (SO-HO) ? Games ? Industrial Use Because of the difficulty in separating consumer software purchased by individuals, into applications destined for use by businesses and the home user. I am going to primarily focus on So-ho, home user market, and takes account of the software packages bought, mainly through out t ...

... There is a fine line between scientific research and experiments that are morally, ethically, and religiously wrong and who are we to cross it? The first example of man performing corrupt experiments is genetic engineering. In this case, man alters the genes of the fetus. This might be acceptable if the reason for the alteration is a life or death situation. If the baby will not be able to live without the procedure being done, then it is acceptable. But nowadays, doctors are performing genetic engineering to pre-determine the baby’s sex. If parents are now allowed to choose the sex of their child, who can say where to stop? Every parent would want their c ...

... which are Active and Passive immunization. The difference between the two is that Active immunization is used to control a disease on a long term basis, where Passive immunization is used to treat a disease quickly but only lasts a few weeks. Passive immunization works immediately but does not last where Active immunization takes about two weeks to work and lasts many years. There are many vaccines to prevent Encephalitis and some of the most common diseases in this topic are Measles, Mumps and Rubella, Meningitis, Japanese Encephalitis and Mosquito and Tic Bourne Encephalitis. Measles, Mumps and Rebella viruses are all associated with Encephalitis and ...

... Each day three people die from it. Despite this bad news, CF is no longer the nearly automatic death sentence it used to be. Improved treatments are allowing more than half of the people with CF to live into their mid-twenties, and some are already in their forties, fifties, and even sixties. It will be very important for you t frequently check with doctors for new medical advancements. More and More discoveries are made every day and one of them very well might be able to help you situation. You cannot catch from someone who has it. It is not a contagious disease, cut a hereditary or inherited one. A child but be born with it to have the disease. The sympt ...

... 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 ...

... to the first 50 entries. Although the virus apparently causes no permanent damage to a computer, its clogging affects were far-reaching. All new Microsoft Word documents created on an infected computer will contain the virus, too. Our own computer lab has posted a warning stating if a you receive a mail docoument the says, "Here is that document you asked for ... don't show it to anyone else" with a winking smiley face formed by the punctuation marks ;-) that you don't open it and to delete it right away. A copy cat virus named, "Papa,'' appeared Monday afternoon. It attaches a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet document which, when opened, sends out 60 e-mails, ...
