.... behind Ghana's Akasombo Dam, flooded 4% of that nation's land area. In the United States, whose 5,500 large dams make it the second most dammed country in the world, we have stopped building large dams, and are now spending great amounts of money trying to fix the problems created by existing dams. Although the impacts of large dams have been well documented for some time now, in case after case, new ones are proposed whose environmental impacts are downplayed or even ignored. A suvey showed that most dams were built without the consideration of downstream effects, even when these .....

.... Savings Accounts, with other likely future projects including telephone banking, credit cards, and auto/property insurance. The fact that MSFS has entered the Financial Services Sector comparatively recently and with a established IS knowledge base from the parent company has meant that existing information systems have been well developed in terms of technology and are compliant with the latest industry regulations. Therefore there is little or no need for redevelopment of existing systems in the short to medium term, and the ISD focus is almost exclusively on new market areas requiring Info .....

.... the past million years. Average global temperatures have risen 1 degree Fahrenheit over the last century. If carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases continue to spill into the atmosphere, global temperatures could rise five to 10 degrees by the middle of the next century. The warning will be the greatest at the higher latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere, with the largest temperature rises occurring in winter. Most areas will experience summertime highs well above 100 degrees Fahrenheit. New temperature records will be set each year. As a possible prelude to , the decade of the 1980's h .....

.... of ices and dust. Major proofs of the snowball theory rest on various data. For one, of the observed gases and meteoric particles that are ejected to provide the coma and tails of comets, most of the gases are fragmentary molecules, or radicals, of the most common elements in space: hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen. The radicals, for example, of CH, NH, and OH may be broken away from the stable molecules CH4 (methane), NH3 (ammonia), and H2O (water), which may exist as ices or more complex, very cold compounds in the nucleus. Another fact in support of the snowball theory is that th .....

.... protruding bases these sets of three on the tRNA are called anti-codons. Each tRNA molecule attracts different amino acids, of which there are around twenty, and they "stick" to the tRNA and depending on which tRNA molecule it is it wil attract a diferent amino-acid.On the RNA every three bases are called codons these are complementary to the anti-codons of the tRNA. For instance a codon of - GAA - would pair with the anti-codon- CUU -. In this fashion weak hydrogen bonds form between the tRNA and RNA molecules. This occurs at the ribosome. The ribosome is a organelle in the cytoplasm or .....

.... belts and air bags is 75% effective in preventing serious head injuries and 66% effective in preventing serious chest injuries. Unfortunately for about 100 people in the past decade, their lives were saved at the expense of suffering a less severe injury caused by the air bag itself. However, when proper air bag safety is applied in conjunction of wearing a seat belt properly, most injuries and deaths caused by motor vehicle crashes are minimized or even prevented all together. Air bags are designed specifically to cushion occupants as they move forward in a front-end crash, keeping the h .....

.... reacts with metals to form mostly water-soluble chlorides. Chlorine also strongly reacts with nonmetals such as sulfur, phosphorus, and other halogens. If you were to mix hydrogen and chlorine gases and keep them in a cool dark place, the mixture would be stable, but if it were exposed to sunlight, it would cause a strong explosion. If a burning candle were placed in a sealed container of chlorine, it would keep burning, and it would produce thick, black, smoke, leaving behind soot. There are five oxides that chlorine can form: chlorine monoxide; dichloride monoxide; chlorine dioxide; c .....

.... The Siberian Tiger is a mobile creature and it lives in northern Asia and is found as for north as the Arctic Circle. It's territory is more than four thousand square miles and it will keep that territory indefinitely, as long as the food supply lasts. The Siberian Tiger hunts very much but only about one tenth of the hunts are successful. It requires more than twenty pounds of meat per day. It is heterotrophic and it's diet consists mainly of deer, boar, bear and fish. The Siberian Tiger is a solitary animal. Males and females are only together during mating season. .....

.... land region they were growing in. Africa has struggled with many different types of disease within their society due to their type of land, climate and weather. "Among all the diverse natural environments of the earth, tropical rain forests are the most variegated in the sense that more diverse forms of life share this kind of habitat than occupy drier, cooler regions."(McNeill,16) Africa possesses the prefect breeding ground for many diseases. There were many diseases and viruses that have had an impact on Africa, however trypanosomiasis, malaria, yellow fever, AIDS, smallpox, onchocerci .....

.... possible conclusion that the region Xq28 carries a gene influencing male sexual orientation. However, there are a few flaws to their interpretation of the results. Among them are stated in the article. A replication of the experiment is necessary, the separation of the particular gene has not been achieved, and the importance of the region has not yet been determined. Moreover, the supposed gene that influences homosexuality suggests that it acts indirectly on the choice of their sexual orientation. LeVay and Hamer mention their perspective on the cause of homosexuality that was derived f .....
