Misconceptions about dyslexia.
Seeking help through organizations.
What exactly is dyslexia? “The word dyslexia is derived from the Greek “dys” meaning poor or inadequate and “lexis” meaning language. Dyslexia is a learning disability characterized by problems in expressive or receptive, oral or written language”(Wilkins URL). Simply put, dyslexia means trouble with reading, writing, and spelling. Dyslexia is not stupidity, laziness, lack of interest, or anything to be ashamed of. Dyslexia is not a disease; it has no cure ...

Cancer Treatments And Breakthroughs
... main tumor doesn't mean that the cancer cells are completely gone. They're too small to see, so doctors can't tell if they have taken it all out or not. So, just to be sure, doctors usually take out a lot of the healthy tissue surrounding the area. This could damage the person's system and their appearance. Also, cancer sometimes forms around structures that can't be taken out, like an organ. In these cases, surgery alone is basically useless. Radiation therapy is another option, and many doctors prefer this in many cases. When a patient receives radiation therapy, gamma rays are sent in to treat the region that the tumor is in. Patients usually receive five to ei ...

Ozone Depletion

they inter the outer atmosphere, They react with ozone chemicals to release
chlorine and bromine that in turn deteriorate the ozone and form "thinning" or
"holes." This is catastrophic because they are bonded very strongly together
and cannot be broken down by water. This means they travel into the atmosphere
virtually unharmed by rain or decomposition (Goldfarb 282).
The reason these are causing such a commotion is the damage they cause
to living things on Earth. When the ozone depletes, it causes more ultraviolet
(UV) rays to hit the Earth's surface than are healthy (Singer and Crandall npg).
UV rays affect the DNA of every living ...

The American Society of (ASB) held a meeting at Clemson University of 1997 in order to develop a sports prosthesis that would stand up to every day flexing of the knee for performance in sports.
In order to develop this prosthesis they had to go through two main phases, the analysis of a jogger wearing a standard walking prosthesis and computer simulation of the flexing of the knee on this walking prosthesis. They had to measure rotation, weight bearing, moments, and the stress of the joints acting on this limb. After the mechanical actions were mapped out t ...

prepares the lining of the uterus for pregnancy. If fertilisation does not occur
the lining of the uterus is discharged from the body in the process called
menstruation.
What is the birth control pill?
The combined oral contraceptive pill (the pill) is a reversable, hormonal
method of birth control. The pill consists of a mixture of two synthetic
hormones similar to oestrogen and progesterone, the woman’s natural hormones
which regulate the menstrual cycle. The pill is on of the most popular methods
of birth control.

Gold
... value gold for its unusual qualities"(Encyclopedia
American 1997). So it is unknown who discovered gold. Gold has the best
working qualities of any metal. It is an unusual metal in its color,
Luster, malleability and it can with stand corrosion. "By at least the
fourth millennium BC, gold was found through both placer and vein(lode)
mining and by the time of the early cultures from which modern civilization
is descended the search for gold was wide spread"(Green 1968).
Gold is mainly extracted through mining. It is mainly found in
tiny flakes or sands but sometimes is found in nuggets. The largest nugget
ever found weighed eight kilograms. "Gold deposits ar ...

Malibu Fires
... caused by different sources such as lightning or human hunters who
wanted to chase animals out of the woods. As prolonged as these fires were,
they had limited catastrophic effects on the nomadic humans. This is due to the
low population density and the fact that the fires were not very intense. As
people began to change from a hunting-gathering society to agriculturists, they
settled in communities. Homes built among the wild brush were perfect prey to
wildfires. Initially, wildfires were put out immediately and people were barred
from setting fires in open spaces. Due to the policy of fire suppression, only
one percent of all wildfires escaped early con ...

Dna Chips And The Pharmaceutical Industry
... will soon render traditional pharmaceutical research obsolete. This allows for whole new generations of drugs that will be made to combat diseases by effecting changes in a their specific genetic design.
PROBLEM STATEMENT
Currently the pharmaceutical industry is a very high risk industry in which fewer than one in ten promising drug products ever makes it through the testing phase and onto the shelves at the local pharmacy. The effect is that the production of a new drug is almost like a guessing game that may or may not produce any profit. A Company may have a long list of chemicals that could make possible drugs to treat a specific affliction, but by the tim ...

Global Warming A Serious Threat
... health is due to local climate. The reason why local climate threatens human health is that "extreme temperatures can directly cause the loss of life". And also many serious diseases appear in warm places. But not only is it that "warm temperatures can increase air and water pollution, which in turn harm human health" (ESP Health 1). The hot temperature, which could be the most direct effect of climate change, causes the heat problem. Because their cardiovascular system has to work harder to keep the body cool during hot weather. The temperature causes harmful effects to human health and another is cause of lung problem. "Higher air temperatures also incr ...
