- According to Accu-Weather, the world's leading commercial forecaster, "Global air temperatures as measured by land-based weather stations show an increase of about 0.45 degrees Celsius over the past century. This may be no more than normal climatic variation...and several biases in the data may be responsible for some of this increase."
- Satellite data indicate a slight cooling in the climate in the last 18 years. These ...

Sharks
... shark claims another victim.1"
Any one who’s seen the famous movie series "Jaws" may look at the Great
White Shark in a similar manner. Perhaps it’s the way that Hollywood uses a mix
of fact and fiction in the series. This may have frightened many people into
hating the Great White for it’s ferocity. It might have also been the size of
the shark in the movie that’s kept thousands of people off the beaches and out
of the water. Better yet, it could have been the overall storyline: A Great
White shark with an eating disorder and a taste for human flesh. Perhaps that’s
what is keeping vacationers from grabbing their trousers and snorkels.

... being affected. Psoriasis seems to affect both males and females
equally. There are two types of the disease. Type I generally occurs
during adolescence, with an average age of onset of sixteen years for
females and twenty-two years for males. Type II affects people over sixty
years of age.
There are several immunological abnormalities associated with
psoriasis. Early psoriatic changes occur in advancing lesions before the
accumulation of inflammatory cells. These changes are mediated by
activated CD4+ T lymphocytes and can be detected before visible pathology
to the skin occurs. Activated T lymphocytes exhibiting an increase in
HLA-DR and IL-2R can b ...

The Origin Of Humanity
... world if he had that much control?
There seems to be quite a bit more sustantial evidence on earth to support the theory of evolution. The evidence is holds up more because actual samples of fossils have been collected and scientifically tested using a method called carbon dating to determine the age of the fossils. Which can then be examined and placed along a timeline. The time periods show slight differences in bone structure showing what is hypothesized to be the human evolving. Evolving from what though? The theory of evolution states that creatures change overtime to suit their surroundings. This is called environmental adaptation. The more a creature can ad ...

Hydroponics Growing Without Soil
... in that gravel was used as a rooting medium.
After World War II a number of commercial installations were built in the United States. The majority of these were located in Florida. Most were out of doors and subject to the rigors of the weather. Poor construction techniques and operating practices caused many of them to be unsuccessful and production inconsistent.
How is the quality of the food today affected by the methods of Hydroponics of today?

Global Warming 3
... risks, and the scale, frequency, and impacts of disaster caused or influenced by human activity are growing tremendously. The risks to the Earth¡¦s natural systems are becoming significantly concerning.
The world¡¦s population, currently 5.2 billion has grown from about 3 billion in 1960, and around 2 billion in 1925. Today it increased by almost 90 million each year, and is likely to reach 10 billion by 2025(Corson 4).
The reason we currently have an atmosphere crisis is because of human impact on the gases which make up our atmosphere. Our atmosphere, which is made up of four distinct layers blankets our planet and protects up in many way. One way it prote ...

Solutions Around You
... you.
All solutions share several important properties. The particles in a solution are very small. In fact, they are atoms, molecules, or ions, which is why you cannot see them. The particles in a solution are evenly disturbed, or intermingled informally on a molecular level. A small sample of one part of a solution. The particles in a solution will not separate no matter how long the solution is allowed to stand under constant conditions. In a solution, one substance is usually considered to be dissolved, or broken down in another. The substance that is dissolved is called the solute. The substance that does the dissolving is the solvent. Not every subs ...

Two Inventions That Changed European History
... and greater food production.
Around the same time as the chest harness’ invention, medieval villagers were organizing their land into a two field system of agriculture. This system utilized one large field divided in half, one half of a field with crops and left the other half of a field was left unplanted for a year so as not to exhaust the soil. This system led to problems, because dividing the land in half led to shortages in the production of food because only half of the field was being used. This system of agriculture needed some minor adjustments to increase the production of food without destroying the soil in the process. This new system came about ar ...

actions. But the keyword for Greenpeace and what is common for almost every
venture that Greenpeace takes, is that they are active. Greenpeace does not
believe in bureaucracy, and is that something that we should respect. Taking on
a action for Greenpeace sometimes means that you have to break the law or at
least bend it a little. In USA where they protested against some factories
which deliberately lead their toxic waste to lakes nearby, Greenpeace sealed the
pipes, from which the toxic waste was coming from and furtermore the activists
refused to leave. A up-to-date example could be Mururoa, where the French

Dr. Selye preformed most of the early work on the adaptation syndrome. His experiments in general looked at harmful stimuli on the response of the body. In an experiment, Seyle exposed a large number of rats to a refrigerated room where the temperature was near freezing,(Author pg#) “…during the first 48 hours they developed the typical manifestations of the alarm reaction. This was proved by killing ten animals at the end of the second day; all of them had large fat-free adrenals, ...
