Ebola Virus
Number of words: 743 - Number of pages: 3.... 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. In one case when a Swiss researcher found the Ebola Tai virus, she contracted it from a chimpanzee. This was during an investigation into the spur of deaths among them at the time. 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.

Cloning
Number of words: 544 - Number of pages: 2.... 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 . Though this notion seems very unlikely to occur within the span of the next few years, but the possibility does exist, that the techniques which are currently being used to clon .....

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. .....

Alternative Medicine

treatments such as chiropractic to prevent or cure illness. The
more rigid and restrictive the policy provisos, the more
assurance for the companies that they will maximize their bottom
lines. Therefore, patients of alternative therapies as well as
doctors must show that such unconventional treatment provides
relief and prevention of illness. “The total projected out-of-
pocket expenditure for unconventional therapy plus
supplements(such as diet pills and megavitamins)was 10.3 billion
dollars in 1990. This is comparabl .....

Cryogenic
Number of words: 3029 - Number of pages: 12.... arrival at the center is less than an hour. Some patients have arrived as late as six hours after death.
At the center, your body is put on a table in the perfusion room. 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. The body is placed in a large brown box lined with .....

Types Of Clouds
Number of words: 825 - Number of pages: 3.... entirely of ice and consist of long, thin, wispy streamers. They are commonly known as "mare's tails" because of their appearance. Cirrus clouds are usually white and predict fair weather.
Cirrostratus clouds, belonging to the high cloud group, are sheet like thin clouds that usually cover the entire sky. The sun or moon can shine through Cirrostratus clouds. Sometimes, the sun or moon will appear to have a halo around it when in the presence of Cirrostratus. The ice crystals from the cloud refracts the light from the sun or moon, creating a halo. Cirrostratus clouds usually come 12-24 hour .....

Technology And The Future Of W
Number of words: 4373 - Number of pages: 16.... 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 .....

Acid Base Extraction

naphthalene or benzoin and a basic substance containing either 4-chloroaniline
or ethyl 4-aminobenzoate were to be separated by extraction from an ether

it became possible to determine what components were in the unknown mixture, by
means of a melting point determination.

Acid Rain

Once is formed, it can stay up in the clouds for a long time. These clouds can be carried off by the wind to other areas, sometimes hundreds of miles away, where they eventually fall to the Earth as or snow. This is called transboundary pollution. 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.

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. .....
