Global Warming
Number of words: 845 - Number of pages: 4.... gases, the earth's average temperature is better, 60°F. But, problems may happen when the amount of
greenhouse gases increases.
Since the beginning of the industrial revolution, great amounts of carbon dioxide have increased nearly 30%, methane concentrations have almost doubled, and nitrous oxide concentrations have risen about 15%. These increases have made the heat-trapping worse in the earth's atmosphere. Sulfate aerosols, a common air pollutant, cool the atmosphere by reflecting light back into space, but, sulfates do not live long in the atmosphere.
Why are greenhous .....

Klinefelter Syndrome
Number of words: 813 - Number of pages: 3.... Otherwise it is not something that happens by the law of nature in which you are randomly chosen in its specific frame of how many times it happens, whom it effects, and how it happens. There is really no specific frame in which it invariably happens. It is known through that it happens during the process of meiosis in which chromosomes split.
WHO IT AFFECTS???
Klinefelter Syndrome only occurs in males. This is so because females have a similar condition called Turner’s Syndrome who generally has the same side effects as Klinefelter Syndrome. Instead of having one X ch .....

Plate Tectonics
Number of words: 516 - Number of pages: 2.... drift. This was not believable at the time because there was no way the continents could move through the rigid ocean floor.
During WWII, people started to explore the ocean floor and discovered evidence that would prove Wegener's ideas about land movement. The most interesting feature of the ocean was the ridges running along the ocean floor. It was discovered that earthquakes were abundant along the ridges that let magma flow from them. The magma would flow out these ridges and push the Earth away from it. This sea floor spreading was how the continents had moved over millions of year .....

Deforestation Of The Pacific Northwest
Number of words: 1195 - Number of pages: 5.... In the case of the North Coast forests, this
includes some thousand-year-old stands with heights above three-hundred feet and
diameters of more than ten feet.
In 1990, the number of spotted owls dropped to 2000 breeding pairs. The
preservation of any species contributes to the biodiversity of an area. In an
ecosystem, the absence of one species creates unfavorable conditions for the
others. The absence of the spotted owl could have a significant effect on the
North Coast forest ecosystem. In order to send the owl population in the right
direction, the major problem for their decline wo .....

Natural History Of The Lamprey
Number of words: 1160 - Number of pages: 5.... and reaching their mature form.
Lampreys mostly live in freshwater streams and seas of temperate and subartic regions throughout the world, except for Southern Africa. The sea lamprey is a marine species. They are native to the Atlantic Coast of North America and Europe. In many areas it has adapted to a life cycle spent entirely in freshwater. The sea lamprey invaded Lake Erie in the 1920’s, where its warm water was good for reproduction. They migrated to Lake Huron in 1939 and then to Lake Michigan. Within a few years, the lamprey had severely damaged the valuable trout fish in .....

Clinical Depression A Disease Like Any Other.
Number of words: 1120 - Number of pages: 5.... the evil spirits from the body.
It wasn't until the late 19th and early 20th centuries that physicians had a more scientific view on depression. Sigmund Freud and Josef Breuer discovered that depression is a psychological and not a demonic force or organic abnormality.
Depression is caused by many factors. The loss of a loved one during childhood or other traumatic experiments (ie. abuse) can increase person's chances of developing depression later on in life. The number one cause of depression is stress. The everyday stresses in life can build up and cause a person to .....

Network Security
Number of words: 2810 - Number of pages: 11.... “ Security is the state of mind” [1]
An example is mission impossible one of the detective movies who show how easy it is to tap a telephone- Although it is illegal unauthorised access is gained, damage can be done to sensitive data if leaked from one company to another which can provide criminals with the electronic gold mine of fraud opportunities.[2]
so this justifies the need for security.
Many definitions say that security means “…..unauthorised access, such as preventing a hacker from breaking into your computer” (Fitzgerald and Dennis, 1996, .....

Global Warming 3
Number of words: 1170 - Number of pages: 5.... 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 protects us if from the harmful rays the sun radiates on our planet. Each layer differs from the others in temperature, density, composition and in the way it absorbs radiation from the sun. The atmosphere itself is some 300 .....

Soon major schools and corporations threw their hats into the race for a network in which information could be sent electronically. Throughout the seventies a couple of schools developed their own network in which they could communicate with each other and devices were designed to make networks within offices possible using a technology called Ethernet. Throughout the eighties the newly designed internet .....

What Is Physics?
Number of words: 2017 - Number of pages: 8.... The growth of physics has brought not only fundamental changes in ideas about the material world, but also, through technology based on laboratory discoveries, a transformation of society.”
Uncertainty in Measurements
Because the number of digits that are valid for any measurement is limited, the precision of all measuring devices is also limited. Every measurement is subject to uncertainty.
Causes of uncertainty:
1. temperature
2. magnetic fields
3. parallax
4. carelessness

General Principles of Temporal Displacement
In chapter 3, we learned that displacement is the chan .....
