Doublespeak: Nuclear Power Plants
Number of words: 504 - Number of pages: 2.... and make
them into "events" and "infiltrations." This use of doublespeak is misleading to
the public and may make them believe that a major accident hasn't happened, or
the accident was a normal event or minor incident.
In 1979 a valve in the Three Mile Island stuck open, allowing coolant,
an important part of the plant, to escape from the reactor. An installed
emergency system did its job and supplied the reactor with necessary coolant,
but the system was shot off for a few hours due to employee error. Corrective
action was eventually taken, and only a partial meltdown occurred. .....

Cancer 4
Number of words: 1512 - Number of pages: 6.... Benign tissue is structured similar to normal tissue while malignant tissue is abnormal and has an unstructured appearance. Of greater importance, benign tissue does not metastasize, or begin to grow in other sites, like malignant tumors do. Cancer always refers to metastasized tumors but the term tumor is not always necessarily cancer. A tumor is any living tissue that is #1 distinguishable as abnormal living tissue.

Lepus Americanus

Determining the survival rates, the authors used mark-recapture techniques, it was found that probabilities for survivorship in experimental grid (0.79+0.10) were similar to that of control grids (0.71+0.07; 0.56+0.07). Results yielded that extra food intake and cover provided from branches may have not been helpful in increasing survivorship. No differences were measured in reproduction of percentage in adult females caught lactating between control and experimental grids. Based on experiments conducted by Keith and Windberg (1978), we should expect reduce .....

Davenport, however, took it another step. He extended Mendel’s laws to include characteristics such as pauperism, alcoholism, and the popular term of the day, “feeblemindedness.”5 Davenport also connected behavior to race, class, and pedigree. While all of Davenport’s ideas were up .....

Environmental Pollution
Number of words: 1277 - Number of pages: 5.... most people, and they think that it will not harm them. People burn down
forests and people burn fossil fuels, and CFCs from aerosols. Every bit of this
harms our atmosphere. Factories and transportation depend on huge amounts of
fuel billions of tons of coal and oil are consumed around the world every year.
When these fuels burn they introduce smoke and other, less visible, by-products
into the atmosphere. Although wind and rain occasionally wash away the smoke
given off by power plants and automobiles, the cumulative effect of air
pollution poses a grave threat to humans and the envir .....
