Cloning And Its Implications
... but for some people cloning is seen in hope and faith.
The reasons behind cloning may be extremely different. Medical departments see cloning as a way of providing needed organs such as the heart and lung. Doctors might also view cloning as a way to find cures for diseases such as aids and cancer. Should people be created for the purpose of dying? Many people believe it is unjust to use animals for testing various products for humans, such as makeup and shampoo. Creating life for the simple purpose of injecting a deadly disease in the body to find a cure is just? Another purpose of cloning may be for work labor. Should society create people to work for othe ...

Asthma And How Medication Allows For Increased Performance
... steroid inhalers, and steroid tablets are used as perverters and controllers of asthma. These drugs reduce the inflamation in the airways and reduce the need for other drugs. Steroids though take a few hours to have an effect and therefore ineffective if needed for immediate relief.
Other treatments include allergy shots and Antihistamines which can be used as a preventer of asthma. These reduce allergic reactions in patients and therefore reducing the chance for allergies to trigger inflammation in the asthmatic. Antihistamines however, cause drowsiness and should not be taken when driving or working at jobs where you must be alert.
The medications that are ...

Insects
... are the circulatory, respiratory, nervous,
muscular, digestive, and reproductive systems. In the circulatory system, blood
is pumped by the heart in a tube to the aorta, the head, and to other organs
then enters the ostia openings along the sides of the tube back to the heart.
The respiratory systems carries O2 to cells and takes away CO2 from cells
through branching out to call cells of body. The nervous system consists of a
brain receiving information from eyes, antennae, and controls the whole body and
2 nerve cords containing ganglia fused together to control activities of the
segment without the help of the brain. insect muscular system is made up of a

Cryogenics And The Future
... and they are Superconductivity and Superfluidity.
Cryogenics first came about in 1877, when a Swiss Physicist named Rasul Pictet and a French Engineer named Louis P. Cailletet liquefied oxygen for the first time. Cailletet created liquid oxygen in his lab using a process known as adiabatic expansion, which is a "thermodynamic process in which the temperature of a gas is expanded without adding or extracting heat from the gas or the surrounding system"(Vance 26). At the same time Pictet used the "Joule-Thompson Effect," a thermodynamic process that states that the "temperature of a fluid is reduced in a process involving expansion below a certain temperatur ...

Fetal Alcohol Syndrome And Fetal Alcohol Effects
... facial features. Additionally, 20% to 50% of affected children demonstrate a variety of other birth defects, including cardiac anomalies, hemangiomas, and eye and ear anomalies. [2,4,15,16]
Even in the absence of growth retardation or congenital abnormalities, children born to women
who drank alcohol excessively during pregnancy appear to be at increased risk for attention deficit
disorders with hyperactivity, fine-motor impairment, and clumsiness as well as more subtle delays in
motor performance and speech disorders. [4] These findings have been referred to as fetal alcohol
effects (FAE).
As recently described, FAS and FAE produce profound cognitive, behavioral, ...

El-nino
... and moisture into the atmosphere and this in turn alters wind and rainfall patterns around the world. The atmospheric cirulation also changes when the sea-surface temperatures in the eastern tropical Pacific rise above normal. In normal, non-El Nino conditions, the trade winds blow towards the west across the tropical Pacific. These winds pile up warm water in the west Pacific, so that the sea surface is about 1/2 meter higher at Indonesia than at Ecuador. The sea surface temperature is about 8 degrees C higher in the west, with cool termperatures off South America, dut to an upwelling of cold water from deeper levels. This cold water is nutrient-rich, supporti ...

Stratospheric Observatory For Infrared Astronomy
... with in-flight accessibility, provided by investigators selected
from the international science community. The Observatory objective is to have
an operational lifetime in excess of 20 years.
The SOFIA project is in the early full-scale stage. The start of detailed system
design is anticipated in the Fall of 1996. The German Space Agency (DARA) is a
partner with NASA in the SOFIA project. DARA will provide the telescope and NASA
will provide the rest of the facility including the 747 aircraft, aircraft
modifications, on-board mission control system, ground facilities and support
equipment, overall management, system integration and operations.
The SOFIA project ...

Water Pollution
... dumped.
Such waste includes bags, bottles, cups, straws, cup lids, utensils, six pack
holders, cling wrap, fishing line, bait bags, and floats.
The second highest cause of water pollution is ship waste. Ships used to
take much garbage with them on their ships and dump them. This was very common
until the government took action. They were giving sailors up to one million
dollars fines for disposing waste. Because of that, ships now carry less garbage
with them.
Animals are not the only thing being harmed by water wastes. Fishing
lines, rope, and plastic nets are being caught in the rutter and the engine, but
the ships are not exactly perfect.
The other ma ...

Dvd Vs. Vcr
... technical factors can alter the quality of both picture and sound in both of these systems, making picture and audio quality a major consideration when shopping for home entertainment components.A final consideration that consumers should give special attention is the accessibility of the systems. In today’s growing entertainment market, the difficulty in accessing video and DVD movies can play a large part in the decision of which component is right for the consumer.METHODSThe beginning of any research project is in the decision of a topic to research. I chose to research the differences between the VCR and DVD home entertainment systems because the intricacies ...

develops during the first six months of gestation . Neurons are churned out in the brain's ventricular zone. Attached to fibers, the neurons travel to the cerebral cortex, which contains the language centers. Here they hit a barrier, stop and take their place in layers above previously deposited neurons, (which is normal). In the brains of dyslexics, how-ever, there are breaches in the barrier and the neurons enter them, leaving clumps of ...
