Biological Warfare
Number of words: 1787 - Number of pages: 7.... first born. Even though this type of warfare may have had origins as early as Exodus, the methods of making these germs is described in scientific literature and is no secret to terrorists.
This germ warfare is an especially serious threat for several different reasons. The first reason is the ability of these germ agents to be undetectable to spy technology. Secondly, the warfare labs that are used to produce these germs are difficult to detect, and major nations sometimes work together collectively to produce these agents for use in warfare. Most importantly, it is against this threat t .....

Spiders
Number of words: 601 - Number of pages: 3.... is a poisonous spider in in the United States. Its mostly
found from Kansas and Missouri, south to Texas, and west to California. Found
in sheltered places indoors and outdoors it is about 10 mm (.4 in.) long and
has an orange-yellow body with a dark violin-shaped design on its back. Its
bite isn't usually fatal to humans, the venom destroys the skin and it may take
a few months to heal. The brown recluse is mostly active at night. it feeds on
small insects that it paralyzes with its poison.

Turkey Vultures
Number of words: 2351 - Number of pages: 9.... a group of raptors
called New World vultures. Chromosome analysis shows that the New World
vultures are actually more closely related to storks than to the vultures of
Europe, Asia, and Africa.
Turkey vultures are remarkably successful birds. They range everywhere
from parts of Canada and much of the United States to South America. At home in
deserts, prairies and woodlands, they have even settled close to people in a
number of urban and suburban areas.
Observed in flight, the turkey vulture appears black with the underside
of its wings grayish or silvery, giving the birds a two-toned a .....

Cfcs Cause Deterioration Of The Ozone Layer
Number of words: 2231 - Number of pages: 9.... the troposphere is the second region of the atmosphere, the
stratosphere. The stratosphere extends from roughly 6.5-30 miles from the
earth's' surface. The air on this region is much less dense than in the
troposphere, and it's a lot drier. The stratosphere is the area that contains
the majority of the ozone layer.
Past the stratosphere is the mesosphere which extends to 50 miles above
the planet. The last region is the thermosphere. The thermosphere's outermost
edge is roughly 600 miles above the surface of the earth. Beyond it, the
airless vacuum of space begins.
Oxygen is made up o .....

Mans Discovery Of Fossil Fuels Could Be His Downfall. Discus
Number of words: 1624 - Number of pages: 6.... This led to a switch to coal as the major source for fuel and energy. As well as powering steam engines coal became widely used for heating, cooking and industrial processes.
Air pollution during the Industrial revolution was far worse than anything seen today. Apart from the smoke and fumes obscuring visibility, they also caused major health problems to the inhabitants of the industrial areas reducing life expectancies, predominantly with respiratory diseases.
The simultaneous development of the internal combustion engine, well drilling technology and the capacity to refine crude oil into .....

Daltons Atomic Theory
Number of words: 371 - Number of pages: 2.... with stoichiometry.
The existence of atoms was first suggested more that 2000 years before Dalton's birth. (Newton's speculations about atoms in the Principia were carefully copied by hand into Dalton's notebooks.)
Atoms of an element cannot be created, destroyed, broken into smaller parts or transformed into atoms of another element. Dalton based this hypothesis on the law of conservation of mass and on centuries of experimental evidence.
Some of the details of Dalton's original atomic theory are now known to be incorrect. But the core concepts of the theory (that chemical reactions c .....

Mercury
Number of words: 391 - Number of pages: 2.... Mercurous chloride Hg2Cl2 which used to be used in medicine. fulminate Hg(ONC)2 used as a detonator in explosives and mercuric sulfide HgS used as a high-grade paint pigment. Organic compounds are important and dangerous. Methyl is a lethal pollutant found in rivers and lakes. is a virulent poison and is readily absorbed through the respiratory tract, the gastrointestinal tract, or through unbroken skin. It acts as a cumulative poison since there are few pathways available to the body for its excretion. Since is a very readily vaporizable element at a relatively low temperature .....

Creatine 2
Number of words: 1792 - Number of pages: 7.... is broken down, creatine phosphate in the muscle donates a phosphate group to ADP, and further energy reactions can occur. Creatine Monohydrate is a precursor to creatine phosphate. By supplementing with CM, CP levels in muscle apparently are maximized, and more muscular work can occur, since there are greater energy reserves to use. Approximately 95% of the body's creatine supply is found in the skeletal muscles. The remaining 5% are scattered throughout the rest of the body, with the highest concentrations in the heart, brain and testes. A skeletal muscle itself does not produce creati .....

The Application Of Fractal Geometry To Ecology
Number of words: 3320 - Number of pages: 13.... through
the appropriate application of fractal geometry to natural sciences, it is clear
that fractal geometry a useful and valid tool.
New insight into the natural world is just one of the results of the increasing
popularity and use of fractal geometry in the last decade. What are fractals and
what are they good for? Scientists in a variety of disciplines have been trying
to answer this question for the last two decades. Physicists, chemists,
mathematicians, biologists, computer scientists, and medical researchers are
just a few of the scientists that have found uses for fractals and .....

Insomnia
Number of words: 1101 - Number of pages: 5.... to become known as DIMS (Difficulty Initiating or Maintaining Sleep). Several surveys have tried to pin down the exact cause of sleep problems. Of 1,000 households, one third had someone with current problems and in 42 percent someone had suffered from sleep disorders at sometime. Some doctor's polls have been revealing yet somewhat disparate. In one survey, roughly 19 percent of the patients seen by the 3,000 doctors had complaints of some type of . That figure may actually understate the case, for some say that more people in the United States visit doctors for help in getting to .....
