Lift, Weight, Thrust And Drag
Number of words: 730 - Number of pages: 3

.... In calm wind conditions, the atmosphere exerts equal pressure on the upper and lower surfaces of the wing. Movement of air about the airplane, particularly the wing, is necessary before the aerodynamic force of lift becomes effective. During flight, however, pressures on the upper and lower surfaces of the wing are not the same. Although several factors contribute to this difference, the shape of the wing is the principal one. The wing is designed to divide the airflow into areas of high pressure below the wing and areas of comparatively lower pressure above the wing. This pressure differenti .....

Problems Caused By Air Pollution

.... killer smogs, which in a later analysis attributed, from the usually severe pollution, 58 deaths (Edelson 26).

Cloning Of Animals
Number of words: 508 - Number of pages: 2

.... Scottish researchers have failed many times with sheep cells before their success, but the task was perfected and accomplished. Now this accomplishment has made it possible for the cloning of almost any mammal, including humans. To the average person, exactly how the technique works is unclear. Scientist predicted that by making cells dormant and bringing them close to death, something happens to break the chemical locks (barriers) that keep most of the genes inactive. The mammary cell is inserted into an unfertilized sheep egg cell that has already had all of its own genetic material .....

.... one or more of the materials known to show nuclear fission. That goal was to be completed in 1945 after the U.S.A. spent over 6.7 Billion Dollars on the test bomb named the "Trinity".

The Big Bang
Number of words: 1282 - Number of pages: 5

.... not evolve or change in time. There was no beginning in the past, nor will there be change in the future. This model assumes the perfect cosmological principle. This principle says that the universe is the same everywhere on the large scale, at all times.2 It maintains the same average density of matter forever. There are observational evidences found that can prove the Big Bang model is more reasonable than the Steady State model. First, the redshifts of distant galaxies. Redshift is a Doppler effect which states that if a galaxy is moving away, the spectral line of that galaxy o .....

Lichens
Number of words: 571 - Number of pages: 3

.... and obtain light and moisture through small openings in the ground. Few grow near cities because most cannot survive in industrial air pollution. There are notable exceptions, however: in England, for example, Lecanora conizaeoides is actually confined to areas of high pollution. The body of the lichen, the thallus, has three basic growth forms. These forms are crustose, foliose, and fruticose. Each form is adapted to live under different moisture conditions. The crustose resemble a crust that has become attached to a surface and are well suited to dry areas. Foliose, or leafy, need mu .....

Number of words: 3889 - Number of pages: 15

.... according to Federal figures (American Pychological Association (APA), 1996). There are many theories about the aetiology of schizophrenia, but research has failed to pinpoint the origins.

There is also evidence for a role of hereditary influences and obstetric complications on the incidence of schizophrenia. Furthermore, psychological influences have also been suggested as important in precipitating episodes of schizophrenia (for example, significant life events an .....
