Diamonds

form over long periods of time, between 100 km and 200 km below the surface. At this great depth, carbon gets a chance to cool very gradually, forming diamond crystals. When volcanic eruptions occur, magma carries the up to the surface of the earth. Kimberlite lavas carrying erupt at anywhere between 10 and 30 km/hour and increase their velocity to several hundred km/hour within the last few ki .....

Galileo And Newton
Number of words: 1182 - Number of pages: 5.... is so well known. His conclusions put emphasis on shapes,
numbers, and motion which are all properties that lend themselves to support
through "reasoning back and forth between theory and experiment." I feel that
Galileo's argument is a valid one because it explains relations in nature and
the physical world through mathematical analysis. This allows him to define a
world outside of human existence that can be logically calculated and explained.
His view describes the world in which living creatures live and not contrasts it
to the world within living creatures. The problem with Galileo' .....

are very odd in the sense that they very in size, shape, color and hardness. Often are mistaken for bones, fossils, meteorites and other odd objects. They can be so small that it requires a magnifying glass to be visible or as large as 10 feet in diameter and weigh hundreds of pounds. can also have somewhat of regular shapes such as boxes, blocks, flat disks, pipes, cannon balls and have even been known to resemble parts of a human body such as a foot or ribs.

Air Pollution
Number of words: 726 - Number of pages: 3.... are formed through the action of sunlight on previously
emitted reactive materials. For example, ozone, a dangerous pollutant in smog,
is produced by the interaction of hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides under the
influence of sunlight. Ozone has also caused serious crop damage. On the other
hand, the discovery in the 1980s that air pollutants such as fluorocarbons are
causing a loss of ozone from the earth's protective ozone layer has caused the
phasing out of these materials.
Current information about the problem
The tall smokestacks used by industries an utilities do not remove

Green Fluorescent Protein Purification
Number of words: 1280 - Number of pages: 5.... bulb that can be tacked on to other proteins at either the N- or C-terminus without a distortion of its compact beta-can structure. Biochemists now frequently exploit GFP’s unique structural and physical characteristics to visualize various cellular activities.
One such application of GFP is to understand the role of a hormone, T3, in the translocation of thyroid hormone nuclear receptors (TRs).* In this project, GFP was fused to the human TR subtype b1 protein and the protein’s intracellular movement was visually tracked in live cells in the presence or absence of the T3 hormone. The .....

Mononucleosis 3
Number of words: 1912 - Number of pages: 7.... college students, the rate is several times higher. Mononucleosis does not occur in any particular "season," although authorities in colleges and schools, where the disease has been well studied, report that they see most patients in the fall and early spring. Epidemics do not occur, but doctors have reported clustering of cases. Transmission: EBV, the virus that causes most cases of mononucleosis, infects and reproduces in the salivary glands. It also infects white blood cells called B cells. Direct contact with virus-infected saliva, such as through kissing, can transmit the virus and res .....

This up bringing has also affected the way women dream. ³Women are more likely to dial into their interior life whether awake or asleep² (Segell 42). This means that women will read into their more frequently then men. Researchers have found that problems that occur during the day either at work or home and are worked through in your sleep (Segell 42). While men would most likely look at these as nothing but a dream, women will try to face these problems throughout the day. Although there are many differences there are al .....

Mono 2
Number of words: 1032 - Number of pages: 4.... the
common nickname was derived "the kissing disease". In rare cases this
disease may be transmitted through blood transfusions. The disease is usually
transmitted to family members, friends and people that you may go to school
with, rather then people that live in the same community.
People often come in contact with the disease or EBV bacteria at least
once in there life. Although symptoms are incredibly mild or they are not
present at all. When the disease is present in a persons blood stream it is only
contagious for the first two weeks . Although, the disease may be present .....

Chemical Warfare
Number of words: 385 - Number of pages: 2.... mustard gas caused a lot of deaths on both sides during World War I. Some other chemical agents can cause temporary blindness or mental confusion.
But people still can defend themselves against all of these chemical agents. For example, gas masks, other protective coverings for the body, and injections of antidotes are used as defenses against chemical agents.
Chemical agents also have nonmilitary uses. For example, riot control agents, including tear gas, can be used to control rioting crowds. These agents just affect the eyes, nose, and throat. They can cause blinding tears and a lot of t .....
