Dinosaurs
Number of words: 714 - Number of pages: 3.... lb., in the case of the compsognathus, and up
to 160,000 lb., in the case of the brachiosaurus. Most dinosaurs were large,
weighing more than 1,100 lb., and few weighed less than 100 lb. Most were
herbivores, but some saurischians were carnivorous. The majority were four-
footed but some ornithischians and all carnivores walked on their hind legs.
Always classified as reptiles, dinosaurs have traditionally been assumed
to have been reptilian in their physiology, cold-blooded, and ectothermic. In
recent years several different lines of evidence have been interpreted as
indicating that d .....

Excessive Alcohol Consumption--its Effects And Social Accept
Number of words: 2011 - Number of pages: 8.... substance (Monroe 5-6). It was primarily used among ancient people for special ceremonies, magic, and medicine, and “by about 1500 BC, Egyptian doctors included beer or wine in about 15 percent of their medicines”(Monroe 8-9).
Alcoholic beverages are produced through a process called fermentation using plants such as corn, rye, barley, potatoes, and grapes, and are classified by their types and proofs. Some types of alcohol are beer, ale, stout, porter, malt liquor, wine, whiskey, bourbon, gin, rum, brandy, and liqueur. The term proof refers to the percentage of pure alcohol .....

Air Polution
Number of words: 1424 - Number of pages: 6.... first type, particulate matter, consists of solid and liquid
aerosols suspended in the atmosphere. These arise from the burning of coal and
from industrial processes. Atmospheric particles can scatter and absorb sunlight
which reduces visibility. Particles also reduce visibility by attenuating the
light from objects and illuminating the air causing the contrast between the
objects and their backgrounds to reduce. Not only does it effect visibility, but
it hastens the erosion of building materials and the corrosion of metals,
interferes with the human respiratory system, and brings toxic mater .....

Extinction Of Dinosaurs
Number of words: 684 - Number of pages: 3.... to drop.
The birth rate became smaller than the death rate and the dinosaurs died out.
This, however, is not a plausible scenario. This would only account for the
dinosaurs, but not all the other creatures of that time. Paleontologists needed
to come up with a more plausible and devastating theory that would include the
other creatures that died out 65 million years ago.
There have been several major theories that have come about that can all
be substantiated. Any one of these events, theorized by paleontologists, could
have brought an end to the dinosaurs and all the other species that .....

Psychology
Number of words: 1229 - Number of pages: 5.... and place of employment determines their working conditions. Clinical, school, and counseling psychologists in private practice have pleasant, comfortable offices and set their own hours. However, they often must offer evening hours to accommodate their clients. Those employed in hospitals, nursing homes, and other health facilities may work evenings and weekends, while those who work in schools and clinics generally work regular hours. Psychologists employed as faculty by colleges and universities divide their time between teaching and research and a few have administrative responsibilitie .....

Revolutionary QM212
Number of words: 547 - Number of pages: 2.... The resulting product revealed an anti-fluorescein antibody which
binds to metal ions. After physically inserting the genetic code in to E.
coli. bacteria, the researchers had a large batch of a new compound which
they named QM212. When copper was added to this new batch, it binded with
the metal-ion binding sight, decreasing the fluorescent emissions.
Applications:
The human immune system already uses similar antibodies for similar
tasks. Natural antibodies conform to the shape of foreign bodies and bind
to the outer surface. They then release enzymes to break down the .....

Effects Of Asperguillus
Number of words: 292 - Number of pages: 2.... Additional sources of the fungal spores
could be contaminated or wet wood, bird droppings in air ducts, or decaying
fireproofing materials. The fungus causes pneumonia in a host with a weak or
otherwise compromised immune system. Patients at risk are those undergoing
organ transplant or bone marrow transplants, and depending on the type of
transplant, mortality rates are as high as 95%. Bone marrow transplant patients,
the highest risk group, should be treated like they are immunosuppressed for up
to four weeks after the procedure. The portal of entry is through the upper
respiratory trac .....

Computer Virus
Number of words: 701 - Number of pages: 3.... must do some kind of harm to the computer system or at least cause some kind of unexpected or unwanted behaviour. Sometimes es just eat up memory or display annoying messages, but the more dangerous ones can destroy data, give false information, or completely freeze up a computer. The Stealth_c virus is a boot sector virus, meaning that it resides in the boot sectors of a computer disk and loads into memory with the normal boot-up programs. The "stealth" in the name comes from the capability of this virus to possibly hide from anti-virus software. Virtually any media that can carry compu .....

was able to take big breaths due to lots of lung capacity, but it tired easily and could not put up much of a chase when its prey ran. (Monatersky 287).
The Tyrannosaurus Rex was an exciting discovery. It was found during the Bone Wars, a period when Paleontology was very popular and competitive. It is believed to have been discovered by Robert Plot d .....

Creation VS. Evolution
Number of words: 1409 - Number of pages: 6.... time trying to discover false evolution rather than teaching their beliefs to the general public. The theory of evolution removes humans from the center of the universe, and religious followers can't believe that their God, who created us in his image (Bible, 2), would allow that.
The creationist arguments can be summed up in one example from the Morris -Parker book. They state "Evolution is claimed to be 'scientific,' and still going on, so it seems like it should be observable and measurable. Yet after 150 years of intense study of biological variations, evolutionists are still completel .....
