The Solar System
... As the moon orbits the earth we see different amounts of it due to the light from the sun. These are the different phases known to man full, new, crescent, half, gibbous, and new moon.
The earth rotates in its axis once a day. The earth is a sphere shaped object. Its diameter is 12,750 km (7,923miles). It takes 23 hours and 56 minutes to rotate once, which is approximately one day. The sun orbits the sun ever 365.25 days. The average surface temperature is 15 degrees. The distance from the sun is 150million km (93 million miles). The sun is 150million km (93 million miles) away from earth. It is 1.4million km (864,000 miles) in diameter. Its surface tempe ...

Chemistry: Acid-Base Titration
... completely reacted with or
neutralized by the base. The point was signaled by a changing of color of an
indicator that had been added to the acid solution. Indicator was substance that
had distinctly different colors in acidic and basic media. Phenolphthalein was a
common indicator which was colorless in acidic and neutral solutions, but
reddish pink was result in basic solutions. Strong acid (contained H+ ion) and
strong base ( contained OH ) were 100% ionized in water and they were all
strong electrolytes. Procedure:
Part A. Investigating solid NaOH for use as a possible primary standard First of
all, The weight of a weighting paper was measured in analytical ...

Acid Rain
... of the sulfur changes into sulfur dioxide and nitrogen changes into
nitrogen oxide. These escape in to the air as poisonous gases. Some smokestacks
release chemicals like mercury, arsenic, and aluminum. Some of these minerals
are changed in to gases and others become tiny specks of ash. As these
chemicals drift, they may change again. They may react with other chemicals in
the air. When sulfur dioxide combines with water, the result is sulfuric acid.
When nitrogen oxide gas combines with water, the result is also another acid.
When the clouds releases rain or other precipitation, the acid goes with it.
This is called acid rain.
The level of acid is measur ...

Bioluminescence In Fungi
... lightbulb, bioluminescent
light is produced with very little heat radiation. This aspect of
bioluminescence especially interested early scientists who explored it. The
light is the result of a biochemical reaction in which the oxidation of a
compound called "Luciferin" and the reaction was catalyzed by an enzyme called
"Luciferase". The light generated by this biochemical reaction has been
utilized by scientists as a bioindicator for Tuberculosis as well as heavy
metals. On going research involving bioluminescence is currently underway in
the areas of evolution, ecology, histology, physiology, biochemistry, and
biomedical applications.
History of Bioluminescen ...

Photosysthesis Experiment
... is present. The first and most important step of dark reactions, the carbon fixation step, involves rubisco. What happens is that rybluose which contains five carbons takes the carbon in carbon dioxide and makes the six carbon sugar glucose as described in Vodopich's definition.
For the first part of our experiment we wanted to observe how using paper chromatography separates pigments. Paper chromatography works since the pigments in plants have different polarities, weights, and sizes. Although, it was hard to make a clear hypothesis as to how the pigments would travel due to my lack of knowledge of such pigments, I believed that the different pigments would ...

The Serious Problem Of Acid Rain
... contribute most of the
rest. In the air, the sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides can be transformed
into sulfuric acid and nitric acid, and the air current can send them
thousands of miles from the source. When the acids fall to the earth in
any form it will have large impact on the growth or the preservation of
certain wildlife.
NO DEFENSE
Areas like Ontario, Canada, mainly southern regions that are near
the Great Lakes, have substances such as limestone or other known antacids
that can neutralize acids entering the body of water thereby protecting it.
However, large areas of Ontario that are near the Pre-Cambrian Shield, with
quartzite or granite based g ...

New Developments Or Research In Genetic Cloning: Summary
... one that shocked the whole world, was the report
about the first successful clone mammal from non-embryonic cells. This will be
helpful in the future for patients waiting for organ transplants. Scientists
will be able to clone a fully functional organ, and replace it with the damaged
one. The report on the cloning of the human's morphine receptor is advantageous
to us because this helps scientists to develop new analgesics.
The third section of the paper contains a brief discussion about the
advantages and the disadvantages of genetic cloning. It speculates how our
future will improve due to the technologies we are developing, and also the
biggest drawback ...

The Influence Of Writers On Charles Darwin
... by Nelson and Jurmain (1991, p.606) in the modern form is that "the
evolutionary factor causes changes in allele frequencies in populations due
to differential net reproductive success of individuals." His grasp of the
evolutionary process and the clarity of his work makes Charles Darwin the
most popular figure in the scientific field of Evolution (Francoeur, 1965,
p.34). Charles Darwin (1809-1882) was the fourth child of Dr. Robert
Darwin and grandson of Erasmus Darwin. Much of Charles' childhood was
spent collecting insects, coins and reading various literature on natural
history, travel and poetry. Charles Darwin was not a scholarly student
during his year ...

Wavelength Of 10 Or Higher And 11 Down. Gamma Rays Are Produced In Labs
... metallic castings or welds in oil pipelines for weak
points. The rays pass through the metal and darken a photographic film at places
opposite weak points. In industry, Gamma rays are also used for detecting
internal defects in metal castings and in welded structures. Gamma rays are used
to kill pesticides and bugs in food. Gamma rays are also used in nuclear
reactors and atomic bombs.
Gamma rays are often used in the food industry. The radioisotopes
preserve foods. Although the rays never come in contact with the food, Beta
radiation kills various organisms such as bacteria, yeast, and insects. Gamma
rays are sometimes used in science. They are used to detect ...

Internet History Report
... typed the letter “G” the system crashed.
From 1969 to 1983 a lot of different packet switching schemes were tried and
TCP/IP is what grew OUT of ARPANET, not what started ARPANET. During most of the
seventies, the protocol was generally referred to as just the Network Control Protocol or NCP. The term Internet was probably first applied to a 1973 research program that culminated in a demonstration system in 1977. It demonstrated networking through various mediums, including satellite, radio, telephone, ethernet, etc. using packet switching. And this formed the roots of the Transmission Control Protocol and Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). But it was not until ...
