Marijuana And Its Effects On Humans
Number of words: 1467 - Number of pages: 6.... several other studies found no structural or neurochemical atrophy in the brain at all. Furthermore, it should be noted that Heath's work was sharply criticized for avoiding safeguards of bias and reporting "changes" that occur normally in the mammalian brain. Wu et al. found a correlation between cannabis use and low sperm counts in human males. This is misleading because a decrease in sperm count has not been shown to have a negative effect on fertility and because the sperm count returns to normal after cannabis use has stopped.. Another claim made was that cannabis causes chromosome .....

Endangerd Species
Number of words: 1562 - Number of pages: 6.... knew that some kinds of birds were in danger. We can help these animals and plants by making laws that you are not allowed to hunt or kill any animal that is in danger of extinction.
Government Involvement
Only since the 19th century has there been worldwide concern about the case of species in their natural environments. Finally in 1916 they made a law called Migratory Bird Treaty. They had this law in United States, Great Britain, Canada, and later in Mexico. This law was made so that people can not kill animals that are endangered. This law did not work that well because the animals .....

Hemophilia 2
Number of words: 966 - Number of pages: 4.... be the result of the mutation of the gene.
There are two types of hemophilia: Hemophilia A and Hemophilia B. Hemophilia A, also known as "Classical Hemophilia" is caused by a factor Vlll deficiency. This is the most common form of hemophilia. The second type of hemophilia, is Hemophilia B, and is sometimes referred to as the "Christmas Disease." Hemophilia B is caused by a factor lX deficiency. Both types of hemophilia are characterized by prolonged episodes of bleeding, especially into joints, muscles, internal organs, or even brain hemorrhaging.
Hemophiliacs do not bleed harder of .....

Is There A Light At The End Of The Tunnel
Number of words: 1451 - Number of pages: 6.... serious problems with the Y2K issues," (Senate Y2K Report Wendy Griffith). The senate also believes that they will affect Medicare, power companies, banks, and stocks.
People now believe that they must remove their money from the banks. This is true, but most of them are waiting until the end of the year to do this. If everyone goes to the bank simultaneously to remove their money, then they will cause an automatic depression. The banks do not have all of the money in the bank at the times that people will want their money. If everyone takes their money out of the banks at the same time, .....

Theory Of Evolution
Number of words: 1237 - Number of pages: 5.... get connected in just the right way, and a threshold was crossed: the proteins started reproducing themselves, and simple life was "born".
During uncounted eons, this simple life gradually became more and more complex as chance modifications of the original proteins combined with external conditions of moisture, temperature, food supply, etc., to eventually produce all the varied and complex life forms inhabiting first the oceans, then the land, and finally the air, that we see today. Homo sapiens is seen as the topmost branch in the evolutionary tree of life, but the tree is still g .....

Cleaning Up After The Exxon Valdez Was A Mistake
Number of words: 1317 - Number of pages: 5.... more are present in Prudhoe Bay crude oil. When ingested, most of the compounds are nontoxic. Notable exceptions are some of the aromatic compounds, including benzene and toluene.
After a crude oil is spilled in a marine environment, many processes follow.
Typical crude has a density of about 0.85, more or less, and this factor combined with winds, wave action, and currents leads to spreading, which is very rapid during the first 24 hours. During that period most of the components having boiling points below 200[deg.]C volatilize. As a result some of the toxic chemicals such as benzene are .....

Genomics
Number of words: 764 - Number of pages: 3.... company, Novartis. The largest pharmaceutical merger in history, this new company is valued at over $100 billion. A near merger between Glaxo and SmithKline would have created the world’s third largest company, with a budget large enough to fund the estimated cost of sequencing the human genome. Its capitalization would have been larger than the annual gross national product of some 143 of the world’s nations (Enriquez 925).
These mergers also allow the companies to combine their knowledge pools to gain an edge in the race to acquire licensing agreements and patents. In 1991 the U.S .....

The Metric System
Number of words: 464 - Number of pages: 2.... Instead it is read having thirty-two degrees Fahrenheit being zero and two hundred and twelve degrees being the boiling point, While the Celsius (metric unit of measure for temperature) is read with one degrees Celsius being the freezing point of water, and one hundred degrees Celsius being the boiling point.
I think that should be used everywhere in the world because it would make all measurements universal and understandable. I think that the United States of America will someday switch to the metric way of measuring.
There is only one thing that I really don’t like about and that is t .....

Aquired Dyslexia
Number of words: 1877 - Number of pages: 7.... the way in which the written word is processed in the brain. The model is subdivided in to two main processing routes, the Non Lexical Route and the Lexical route.
A model produced based on theories from Coltheart (1981) shows that there are several routes to speech production in the brain. The eye first identifies the printed word. In the adult skilled reader the eye does not move in a smooth pattern but actually jumps to certain focus points in a sentence the brain itself actually fills in the missing words. It does this by top down processing in which the brain applies words to the sen .....

Hormone Use In Livestock
Number of words: 449 - Number of pages: 2.... less PST, which results in poor feed efficiency. The muscle gain stays fairly constant while more nutrients taken in by the animal are used in fat production causing the animal to require more energy for the production of muscle. Manufactured PST will provide a boost in the natural levels of PST in a maturing pig. If there is more PST, there will be more efficient utilization of feed and fat production will be kept to a minimum.
PST is effective if it is taken in the expected dose of 5mg/pig/day. If the pig is given a substantially larger amount, 15mg/pig/day, there will be side effec .....
