.... and all of his daughters will be carriers of the hemophilia disorder because all he can pass on is the defective X-chromosome. Males mostly have hemophilia, but women can also have hemophilia. This is extremely rare though because two defective X-chromosomes would be needed. In fact, the first proven case of women having hemophilia was not until the 1950’s (Bornstein 89). Female carriers are also at risk. These women are known as asymptomatic carriers and may suffer excessive menstrual bleeding, bruising, nosebleeds, and problems during childbirth. One serious pro .....

.... a rainbow is a curve of colored light which is seen in the sky. Rainbows can be seen in moonlight or in artificial light. They are caused by the sun shining through tiny drops of water in the air. A rainbow's brightness depends on how large the drops are. The larger the drops are the brighter the rainbow will be. Many people think that a rainbow is only made of six colors, but it is really make of seven. The colors in order are red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet. A primary rainbow is a rainbow with red on the outside and violet on the inside. The largest rainbow visi .....

.... gallite. It is extracted as a by-product from zinc blende, iron pyrites, bauxite, and germanite. Silvery white and soft enough to be cut with a knife, gallium takes on a bluish tinge because of superficial oxidation. Unusual for its low melting point ( about 30 degrees C, 86 degrees F ), gallium also expands upon solidification and supercools readily, remaining a liquid at temperatures as low as 0 degrees C ( 32 degrees F ). Gallium has the longest usefull liquid range of any element. The liquid metal clings to glass and similar surfaces. The crystal structure of gallium is orthorhomb .....

.... planet. The problem was that by the time that the scientist found the problem it was already very large. Detecting an acid lake is often quite difficult. A lake does not become acid over night. It happens over a period of many years, some times decades. The changes are usually to gradual for them to be noticed early. At the beginning of the 20th century most rivers/lakes like the river Tovdal in Norway had not yet begun to die. However by 1926 local inspectors were noticing that many of the lakes were beginning to show signs of death. Fish were found dead along the banks of many rive .....

.... be used for more constructive purposes such as: sources of energy or to keep a person's heart beating. We did begin to produce more plutonium but the majority of the substance was used towards our nuclear weapons programs. Along with reactors, sometimes comes a meltdown which can cause harmful effects if it isn't controlled quickly enough. After such instances as the Hanford, Washington reactor meltdown and the accident in the U.S.S.R. at the Chernobyl site, no one wanted to hear about the use of plutonium. The United States government banned nuclear testing and also ended the .....

.... the rate at which the capacitor is discharged, which is the current, is decreased. The outcome of this is that the capacitor will be completely discharged meaning that both the current and voltage will equal zero. At this time all the energy stored in the circuit will have been transferred to thermal energy at the resistor. A heater uses electrical power. The power dissipated in a resistor is in return proportional to the resistance and the square of the current that passes through it. As the energy is changed from electrical to thermal the resistor gets hot. In long distance transmission, cu .....

.... as woodpiles and sheds where there is little air circulation to move off the virus, it can linger for a sizeable duration of time. The best method of fighting the hanta virus is prevention. By controlling the rodent population and preventing them from entering houses and sheds, the risk of infection can be lowered. Furthermore, educating those in high-risk areas of the signs of the disease and what to do about them significantly lowers the likelihood of death. The virus cannot spread from human to human even during its peak state, but since exposed persons may not show symptoms for some we .....

.... Arraign, who was cast into the sea by pirates. A dolphin came to his rescue and carried the boy home to Greece on his back. Plutocrat wrote Thathos, Odysseus' son, was saved from drowning as a young child through the aid of a dolphin. A roman scholar Plink the Elder, who lived in AD 23-69, wrote about a boy named Hermias. Hermias had many encounters with a friendly dolphin which he would except rides from. One day Hermias was thrown off the dolphins back by a sudden storm and drowned in the sea. The dolphin brought the boy's body back to the shore, and the dolphin threw itself on the sh .....

.... radiance data with multispectral and panchromatic scanning capabilities. The multispectral mode captures data in three bands in the following spectral ranges: .50-.59, .61-.68 and .79-.89 micrometers. The three bands are co-registered and have a ground resolution of 20m. The panchromatic mode images data in the spectral range .51-.73 micrometers at a sampling interval of 10m. LITERATURE REVIEW Landsats 1 through 3 circled the Earth every 103 minutes, completing 14 orbits a day. Eighteen days and 251 overlapping orbits were needed to provide almost complete coverage of the Earth .....
