.... and movements, the practitioner is already beginning to create a diagnosis. Another major diagnostic tool is the tongue. It is said that the state of the internal organs is reflected in the tongue, and the practitioner will note the color and shape of the tongue as well as its coating. All patients can expect their pulse to be taken. Unlike a Western doctor, the acupuncturist is not feeling merely the speed of the patient’s pulse. The practitioner will feel for changes in the quality of the pulse under their fingers. They will also use three fingers over each wrist; in Chinese medicine diff .....

.... late 1970s, state and federal scientists began an extensive study to determine the reasons for the Bay's decline. Three major problems were identified; excess nutrients from wastewater, agricultural lands, and developed land; sediment in runoff from farms, construction sites, and eroding lands; and possible elevated levels of toxic chemicals. Nitrogen and phosphorus are considered good things because they support the bottom of the food chain. But in recent years the Chesapeake Bay has been receiving too much of these nutrients. The excess nutrients have created large blooms of microscopic .....

.... is when someone around them is talking. People with ADD are impulsive meaning to act without thinking. In one case a five-year old with ADD almost drowned when he went to a pool with his father. He saw people jumping into the pool and thought it would be fun. He jumped right in without remembering that he can't swim. He was pulled from the bottom of the pool several minutes later. Hyperactivity is a real problem for people with ADD especially in children. Parents will usually describe them as always on the go. ADD girls tend to be less hyperactive than ADD boys are. The hyperactivi .....

.... also satisfactory but is also expensive. The most common example of this method is galvanizing, in which iron is covered with zinc. (3) Covering iron with an air proof and also a water proof substance. This method is the least expensive, therefore it is the most common. The forming of rust is known as a chemical reaction. A chemical reaction is defined as a process by which atoms are redistributed, resulting in a change in the molecular composition of the substances. Rust is also known as iron oxide. Rusting is a chemical reaction that takes place rather slowly. Chemical Kinetics, the .....

.... Simpson trial. During the process the DNA may be tampered with or damaged. In most rape cases DNA Typing is used by taking semen off the body of clothes then amplifying the genes. The machine that copies the DNA is called the PCR. The DNA is then cut and placed the wells in trays. PCR copies the small pieces of DNA. It is performed by a blotting process. This process has 21 different catogories. Other tests include those for tracing genetic diseases within families, finding the genes that cause genetic diseases. DNA Typing can also prove the relationship with families. DNA Typi .....

.... ecological role in kelp-forest ecosystem. Over the years it's been possible for us to observe the kelp-forest ecosystem over-time, thanks to the massive growth of the sea otters population we observed the change from otter- free to otter-dominated. This article relates to many aspects of our textbook. On page 89 in chapter 5 the text explains what an ecosystem is, defined by the book, it's a community of species interacting with one another where there is a non-living environment. In this case the otter and kelp-forests ecosystems a coastal ecosystem. As mentioned in the book, the food chai .....

.... they cannot actively ensure their ideal temperature for an ideal metabolic rate (aquacult.htp). In the following experiment, we will attempt to examine the relationship between metabolic rate and environmental temperature in both an ectoderm and an endotherm. I predict that for the ectotherm, the metabolic rate will increase as the outside environment temperature will increase. I also predict that the metabolic rate in the endotherm will remain relatively the same as the outside environment temperature changes. I also make the prediction that the ectotherm will have much lower metabolic .....

.... be found when produced artificially in a laboratory. Discovery of the element was first claimed in 1957 by scientific groups in the United States, Great Britain, and Sweden, but the first confirmed discovery of a nobelium isotope was by a team of scientists at the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory in Berkeley, California and that took place in 1958. The isotope was created by bombarding curium isotopes with carbon ions. Chemically, the properties of nobelium are unknown, but because it is an actinide, its properties should resemble those of the rare earth elements. Isotopes with mass numbers f .....

.... realityyou have to wear special electronic glasses and an electronic suit. Fastened tothe suit are sensors, which send information to the main computer. Thiscomputer works with the data and displays them on the electronic spectacles. This is a technique which use three-dimentional views, therefore the scenery seems incredibly realistic. If you want to be a boxer, simply change thescenery on the main computer, and you are in the ring.Today, many kids have got video games. You could say these games are thepresent's answer to ludo and monopoly. In a way, it is a great advantage thatthe kids are .....

.... and in desperate need of help. Natural hazards have been defined as “...extreme geophysical events greatly exceeding normal human expectations in terms of their magnitude or frequency and causing significant damage to man and his works with possible loss of life.” (Heathcote,1979,p.3.). A natural hazard occurs when there is an interaction between a system of human resource management and extreme or rare natural phenomena (Chapman,1994). As McCall, Laming and Scott (1991) argue, strictly speaking there is no hazard unless humans are affected in some way. Yet the line between natu .....
