.... blood and mucus so any contact with this, e.g. in poor drinking water can cause contraction of the virus. Luckily enough Ebola is not airborne and in some cases due to its self-limiting nature, it has been known to die out within a person before killing the host.

To this day, there is still no evidence as to what host carried the virus before humans and no location of the virus is known. The Effect on the B .....

Cloning

.... of how we may treat animals and how radically we can meddle with nature in general. Furthermore, it is stressed that, whatever potential uses it may be put to at some future stage, the technique raises a long string of ethical problems. In addition, it may be feared that within a number of years the development and application of animal techniques will lead to the testing, development and application of human .

Black Holes
Number of words: 806 - Number of pages: 3

.... amazing fireworks. The second puzzling question that astronomers are trying to answer is why isn't the black hole at the center of the galaxy? According to images from the Hubble Space Telescope, the black hole is 20 light-years from the center of the galaxy, but since the black hole is so massive it is hard to explain how it could have been moved. One idea is that the black hole is moving itself. Some astronomers think that the disk of dust serves as a "fuel tank." The black hole sucks in the material which is absorbed by gravity, compressed, and heated to tens of millions of degrees. .....

.... same time not allowing their customers to use complementary treatments such as chiropractic to prevent or cure illness.

This is comparabl .....

A team of three or four technicians work to drain the blood out of your body and inject a cryoprotective agent to get as much moisture as possible out of the tissues, so the organ don't crack during freezing. The body is then dried and wrapped in a cotton sheet. It is placed, cocoonlike, into a standard sleeping bag, head first, with the open end by the feet tied off.

.... of work in the traditional sense, longevity, early retirement, the elimination of cash, the restructuring of education, industry and a movement to global politics, economics and world government. In particular this paper will suggest that the Christian Judao work ethic with society’s goals of full employment in the traditional sense is no longer appropriate, necessary or even possible in the near future, and that the definition of work needs to be far more liberal. It argues that as a post market era approaches, that both government and society will need to recognise the effects of .....

For awhile some people believed that by building high smoke stacks they would be sending the chemicals out of harms way. But all this did was push the emissions higher into the air, where they remain longer and travel further. How Acid Rain Forms This diagram shows o .....

The MOBOT Project: Longwood
Number of words: 594 - Number of pages: 3

.... we should take the electromechanical route or the purely electrical one. And after some deep thought, we all agreed that the mechanical way would be the simplest to build and the most merciful on our pocketbooks. Even though we were coming up with some good ideas, each design seemed to contain some major problems. One of the reoccurring problems dealt with the synchronization of the driver motor and the steering system. Finally the team came up with a design that allowed the drive and steering controls to be independent of one another, but still allowing each one to be linked in time. .....
