The Roswell Incident
... in Roswell in 1947, the American people may never fully trust the
government again.
The Roswell incident is a very sketchy ordeal in which many people
have different accounts. There is and was never any doubt that something
crash landed. On July 8, 1947 the headline of the Roswell Daily Record
read "RAAF Captures Flying Saucer on Ranch in Roswell Region." The next
day, the headlines read "Weather balloon was mistaken as UFO." Many people
wonder how someone with military experience could mistake a weather balloon
for a UFO, which is why they are inclined to believe the first military
report. From this point on, many people were suspicious of the United
St ...

Cloning
... Within the contents of this paper, I will analyze
the elements of individualism and collectivism that exist in the controversial
topic of cloning.
When Dr. Ian Wilmut, a 52-year-old embryologist at the Roslin
Institute in Edinburgh announced on that he had replaced the genetic material of
sheep's egg with the DNA from an adult sheep, and created a lamb (Dolly), the
topic of cloning "created" many new questions of its own. None were as
controversial as: Will they apply this to humans as well? According to Dr.
Wilmut, the answer was "there is no reason in principle why you couldn't do
it"(clone humans), but he added, "All of us would find that offensive." ...

Solar Cells
... and each proton one positive charge. Neutrons
carry no charge. Every atom has the same number of electrons as there are
protons, so, on the whole, it is electrically neutral. The electrons have
discrete kinetic energy levels, which increase with the orbital radius.
When atoms bond together to form a solid, the electron energy levels merge
into bands. In electrical conductors, these bands are continuous but in
insulators and semiconductors there is an "energy gap", in which no
electron orbits can exist, between the inner valence band and outer
conduction band [Book 1]. Valence electrons help to bind together the atoms
in a solid by orbiting 2 adjacent nucleii, whi ...

Acid Rain
... most of the rest. In the air, the sulphur dioxide and
nitrogen oxides can be transformed into sulphuric acid and nitric acid, and air
current can send them thousands of kilometres 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 DEFENCE
Areas in Ontario mainly southern regions that are near the Great Lakes, such
substances as limestone or other known antacids can neutralize acids entering
the body of water thereby protecting it. However, large areas of Ontario that
are near the PreİCambrian Shield, with quartzite or granite based geology and ...

Crystals: Does Surface Tension Affect The Process Of Crystallization?
... AND RESEARCH
Many scientists have been interested in crystals and the science
associated with crystals. Though one knows that certain conditions must be
present in order for crystals to form; and if some of these conditions are
not present or are not perfect, then the formation of the crystal will be
disturbed. One may ask him/herself, how is the formation disturbed if only
one of the condition would happen to be modified? Most crystals are formed
under water or under liquids with similar characters to water; and tend to
form under liquids or solutions containing a maximum amount of solute. If
the liquid absorbs additional solute, then the solution is ...

White Shark: Summary
... of Connecticut. They
marked their spot with a buoy and went about their way.
That same day two fisherman were fishing and found the buoy that
had the marine institute logo on it so they decided to take a dive. They
ended up diving right down to the steel boxes that contained the "White
Sharks". The men were curious and so they opened the box. Nothing
happened at first and then glowing eyes caught their attention. One guy
was killed. The other guy managed to get away and swim for about 200 yards
and then he was down. The men's bodies washed up on shored weeks later.
That's when Chase and Tall Man knew there was something in the water and it
was ...

Bulemia
... library hoping to consume as much information as possible to prove
Parents' Magazine wrong. I found several medical journals, psychiatric
journals, and books on the topic of eating disorders that could affirm my
feelings.
As I tried to rationalize my friend's behavior, I decided that social
acceptability had to have played a large part in her illness. I also took into
account that her mother had passed away about 7 years before she broke
her news to me, and she had also given up her crown as Miss Iowa, so
depression could have been a factor as well. Another aspect of eating
disorders that I discovered is a lack of self-esteem, something I ne ...

Mercury Report
... probably differentiated into a dense metallic core, and a silicate crust. After the intense bombardment period, lava flowed across the surface and covered the older crust. By this time much of the debris had been swept up and Mercury entered a lighter bombardment period. During this period the intercrater plains formed. Then Mercury cooled. Its core contracted which in turn broke the crust and produced the prominent lobate scarps. During the third stage, lava flooded the lowlands and produced the smooth plains. During the fourth stage micrometeorite bombardment created a dusty surface also known as regolith. A few larger meteorites impacted the surface and left brig ...

Ethical Procedures And Guidelines Defining Psychological Research
... rules really encompass a few broad
but very important ideas. One of these ideas is protecting the dignity of the
subjects. Another important component of this code refers to consent. All of
these will be explained in greater detail below. Another gray area in
psychology lies in the deception of subjects. There are some basic rules
guiding how deceptions can be carried out. There is a large section of the code
that was made with regards to animal research. The last major section of the
ASA ethical guidelines has to do with giving credit where credit is due, and
information sources. All of these regulations make research safer for the
subjects and increase ...

Calories
... 69) Antoine was on the right track; he merely got on the wrong train.
Benjamin Thompson, also an eighteenth century scientist, observed that while drilling through brass with a dull bit he could produce enormous amounts of heat yet not get very deeply into the brass. This led Mr. Thompson to the conclusion that heat was the product of work, not the invisible fluid caloric.
Joseph Black, yet another scientist of the seventeen hundreds, discovered that it took different substances varying amounts of heat to raise one gram of a substance one degree Celsius. He called this specific heat. Mr. Black also noticed that when mercury at fifty degrees is mixed with ...
