Malthus' Principle Of Population: Today And The Future
Number of words: 1927 - Number of pages: 8.... allocation of 6 to 7 pounds per week, equivalent to the diet of todays members of society living in poverty.
Food projections are extremely uncertain since natural disasters are unpredictable and may increase if the forecasted effects of global warming materialize. Also, environmental degradation is increasing while water allocations are decreasing.
Society will not be suddenly surprised by a “crisis point” at which food supplies are no longer adequate. Todays isolated anarchy and famine (which is politically inspired) in Africa could easily turn into a world wide sustenance inspire .....

Bioethics
Number of words: 1691 - Number of pages: 7.... this mean that since there is potential for abuse, all
experimentation should be banned? This would mean that society would be
condemned to remain at the same level of knowledge (status quo)?
Bioethically speaking, how far can we go in the study of the human
without crossing the line? The fundamental question is, since we are the ones
drawing the line, where do we draw it?
The purpose of this essay is to provide a clear sense of the present law
on this issue. Second, to review the problems raised by experimentation on
animals. To show some different examples of bioethics. .....

No Representation Of Allocentric Space Has Been Found In The
Number of words: 1785 - Number of pages: 7.... from the location along a reward gradient, and this has been shown to be the case with rats in a maze situation (O'Keefe, 1983). Indeed, this situation does not require the rat to have a concept of absolute space; it may depend on associations between cues and responses which are provided by the maze structure itself. However, O'Keefe & Nadel (1978) identified spatial behaviours which they argued would require the existence of an allocentric map: detection of changes within the environment; navigation to the goal from a different starting location; and perhaps most importantly detour behaviou .....

Global Warming
Number of words: 2327 - Number of pages: 9.... trapped in the bag of carbon dioxide that surrounds our earth.
One main reason for the problem of global warming is the burning of
fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are coal, oil and natural gases. We use these fuels
to run factories, power plants, cars, trucks, buses, air conditioning and etc.
The people of the earth are putting 5.5 billion tons of carbon, in the form of
carbon dioxide in the air every year! Seventy five percent of this is fossil
fuels.
3. Impact Causing Global Change
For many years, scientists have been predicting that our disregard for
Mother Nature would make the climat .....

Dsl
Number of words: 954 - Number of pages: 4.... higher speeds or wider bandwidth - the more dense the data you are sending, the wider the bandwidth you need for quality and speedy transmission. Still others deliver higher capacity for downloading than for uploading data. There is a whole portfolio of technologies coming on stream to match user needs at home and at work. The new millennium is about to put a completely new dimension into those telephone lines we have all come to take for granted.
Already there are towns and cities around the globe which really are wired for speed with DSL. There are even whole countries which are DSL- .....

Do Cleaning Chemicals Clean As Well After They Have Been Frozen
Number of words: 423 - Number of pages: 2.... two test sets were created by the researcher. The purpose
of the test was to determine how well the chemicals could break down household
grease before and after the substances were frozen. The first test set would
focus on unfrozen chemicals, while the second was set up for previously frozen
chemicals.
The Test:
To start the experiment the researcher fried four pieces of bacon until
there was enough grease in the skillet to perform the test. He then put a
quarter teaspoon of the grease onto two nine by thirteen casserole dishes. Each
casserole dish was set up for three frozen and three unfr .....

The Chaos Theory
Number of words: 2353 - Number of pages: 9.... intertwining of blood vessels, the galactic clustering of stars."
(Gleick, 1987)
The man most responsible for coming up with the Chaos Theory was
Mitchell Feigenbaum, who was one of a handful of scientists at Los Alamos, New
Mexico when he first started thinking about Chaos. Feigenbaum was a little
known scientist from New York, with only one published work to his name. He
was working on nothing very important, like quasi periodicity, in which he and
only he had 26 hour days instead of the usual 24. He gave that up because he
could not bear to wake up to setting s .....

Chance Or Planning
Number of words: 1159 - Number of pages: 5.... eventually die. Some people feel that
this cycle occurs do to the will of God, others, like Charles Darwin believe
that it happens based on chance or natural selection. Whatever you believe or
disbelieve, life cannot be planned. No matter how hard a person attempts to
"plan" their path in life, it is by chance and luck where that path takes us.
Darwin's career was also based on chance, not planning. Darwin never planned to
become a scientist or the father of natural selection. It was by pure chance
that he obtained the job on the voyage of the Beagle, which started his career.

Changing Undesirable Behaviors
Number of words: 615 - Number of pages: 3.... to escape as the previous four days.
RESULTS
It was determined that the subject would almost always attempt to escape from the house when it was given the opportunity during the first four days. As the days progressed, it's total number of escapes decreased. This could be attributed to the fact that every time it found it's way outside, it was immediately picked up and returned to it's proper location. This is a perfect example of using the untraining technique of "negative reinforcement". Even thought the intent was to protect the cat from the harsh threats that awaited it in the rea .....

Cryogenics And The Future

of a gas is expanded without adding or extracting heat from the gas or the
surrounding system"(Vance 26). At the same time Pictet used the "Joule-Thompson
Effect," a thermodynamic process that states that the "temperature of a fluid is
reduced in a process involving expansion below a certain temperature and
pressure"(McClintock 4). After Cailletet and Pictet, a third method, known as
cascading, was developed by Karol S. Olszewski and Zygmut von Wroblewski in
Poland. At this point in history Oxygen was now able t .....
