Animal Captivity
Number of words: 1581 - Number of pages: 6.... When you hear about the treatment of some animals for research, you feel like forgetting about research.
One such story was in 1988, three gray whales got stuck in freezing waters in Alaska, the whales were at risk of drowning because the holes in the ice that they were using to breathe were slowly freezing over. a large rescue was put together that ended up involving the National Guard and the U.S. and Soviet governments to get the whales free (Luke 87). Another story is of a mother cat that risked burning to death to save her kittens from a burning building. She and her kittens n .....

Twinning In Cattle
Number of words: 2067 - Number of pages: 8.... for them.
Many agencies see twinning as an economic move upward. The American
Breeder Service has made efforts to produce semen as well as embryos with high
predicted breeding values available to producers. They have been recorded based
on twinning probabilities and ovulation rates. A large amount of work on
twinning has also been done by the Meat and Animal Research Center. Since the
early eighties, they have located cattle with a high frequency of twinning and
been forming a breeding foundation based on this characteristic. “We believe the
time has come to make some of these unique genet .....

Internet Concepts
Number of words: 2935 - Number of pages: 11.... repartidas por todo del mundo. Incluso en las mejores condiciones, el compartir información entre programas, formatos de archivo y plataformas diferentes no es una tarea sencilla. Por medio de la misma tecnología que se aplica a Internet, las intranets solucionan este problema, consiguiendo que las comunicaciones y colaboraciones internas sean mucho más sencillas.
Las intranets usan TCP/IP para transmitir información a través de la red, además de HTML para crear documentos. La información se guarda en uno o más servidores dentro de la compañía y se accede a ella usando un visu .....

Clinical Depression 2
Number of words: 599 - Number of pages: 3.... a depressed person’s brain. Because of this lack, too few messages get transmitted between neurons and the symptoms of depression occur. In Clinical depression the chemicals in the brain are out-of-balance. New technology allows researchers to take pictures of the brain that show activity levels in the brain. These imaging techniques such as f-MRI and PET scan actually create images of how active different parts of the brain are. Some studies with these kinds of techniques have suggested that the patterns of activation in the brains of depressed people are different than those who are no .....

Cloning
Number of words: 1792 - Number of pages: 7.... a little help. These two cells are then electrified thereby causing the two cells to fuse together combining their genetic structures.
Cloning / 3
Now that we have established the scientific basis of cloning, let me tell you how cloning can directly benefit humanity. There are many health issues that can be avoided, reversed and cured by the cloning of human cells and body parts. With the aid of cloning
technology, couples that have suffered infertility would be able to have their own biological children. Cloning technology may potentially be used to completely .....

Fossil Fuel Consumption, CO2 And Its Impact On Global Climate
Number of words: 1552 - Number of pages: 6.... non-sustainable. It is recognised that energy conservation and the
development of renewable energy sources will be needed to sustain economic
growth. The quantity of ultimately recoverable fossil fuels is limited by
geology and remains a matter of suspicion, but the view of the 1970s that
scarcity was imminent is still popular. It is the 1973 Oil Crisis marked the
transition from abundant, low-cost energy to an era of increasing prices and
scarcity. Today concerns over scarcity have been overtaken by the question of
whether human beings can afford to meet the environmental costs of continue .....

Global Warming 4
Number of words: 773 - Number of pages: 3.... and the earth. The earth is getting warmer. the changes are small, so far, but they are expected to grow and speed up. Within the next 50 to 100 years, the earth will continue to heat up hotter than it has been in the past
million years. As oceans warm and glaciers melt, land and cities along coasts may be flooded. Heat and drought may cause forests to die and food crops to fail. Global warming will effect weather everywhere, plants and animals everywhere and people everywhere. Humans are warming the earth¹s atmosphere by burning fuels, cutting down forests, and by taking part in other act .....

Killer Whale, The Mighty Dolph
Number of words: 399 - Number of pages: 2.... they have over and over again been found with harpoons sticking out of their backs. Research soon found that fishermen were shooting them to keep them from eating all of a days catch. This was not the first time something like this was found. In the 1950's The U.S. Navy used machine guns to slaughter hundreds of Killer Whales off of Iceland to protect fishing. After these animals are killed, they are usually thrown away. The meat is very bitter and is not used. Killer Whales also do not produce oil as most other whales do so there is no benefit from that area of trade either.

Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy
Number of words: 2159 - Number of pages: 8.... a bilaterally
symmetrical, non-inflammatory vacuolation of neuronal perikarya and grey-matter
neuropil was the scientists' overall conclusion (Stadthalle, 1993). These
lesions are consistent with the diseases of the more common scrapie family.
Without further investigation, the conclusion was made that BSE was a new member
of the scrapie family (Westgarth, 1994).
Transmission of BSE is rather common throughout the cattle industry.
After the incubation period of one to two years, experimental transmission was
found possible by the injection of brain homogenates from clinical cases

Symptoms
There are many symptoms associated with infectious , but the symptoms all depend on the individual. The more common symptoms are fatigue, sore throat, swelling of the lymph nodes and malaise. There is usually a change in the white cells and serum of the blood, but it can only be detected by a special test, known as the Mono Spot or the heterophile test. It is possible t .....
