Ebola 2
Number of words: 987 - Number of pages: 4

.... (Garrett 195). Since 1976, researchers have searched for an origin and cure of the virus. Scientist have carried out numerous studies and investigations. Therefore, we now know what the virus is capable of doing, how those infected with the disease can be properly treated , and the need to perform prompt action to isolate the virus before it disperses (Garrett 192). The Ebola virus is a member of a family of RNA viruses known as filoviruses, which consist of the Marburg virus and four Ebola viruses: Ebola Zaire, Sudan, Reston and Tai are the five different viruses that have been known .....

.... pain, increased blood pressure, irregular heart rate, aids and HIV through the use of needles, dependence, tolerance, addiction, and can cause psychosis. The use of Meth is going up. In 1995, 3.9% of high school seniors had used it. That's an increase of 2.7% since 1990. 8 out of 10 people who try Meth will become addicted. Famous people who have done Meth include- Chris Farley, John Belushi, and Mick Jagger. The cost of doing Meth is very high too. A user can spend up to $100 a day. And sometimes, spending $400-$500 to support an addiction is not unusual. The penalties are ve .....

A Study Of Inheritable Traits In Fruit Flies
Number of words: 1423 - Number of pages: 6

.... Upon reaching adulthood, the flies are ready to mate and produce the next generation of Drosophila melanogaster. During this experiment, monohybrid and dihybrid crosses were conducted with Drosophila melanogaster. Our objective was to examine the inheritance from one generation to the next. We collected the data from the crosses and analyzed them in relation to the expected results. MATERIALS AND METHODS For the monohybrid cross in this experiment, we used an F1 generation, which resulted from the mating of a male homozygous wild-type eyed fly with a female homozygous sepia eyed fl .....

Analysis Of A Vapor Power Plant
Number of words: 1672 - Number of pages: 7

.... pumps are 80%, and the efficiencies of all turbines are 85%. Throughout this report the states will be referenced as depicted above with the numbers 1-13. The analysis of the system will involve the use of the Energy Rate Balance to isolate the specific enthalpies and associated values of temperature, pressure, specific volume, and steam quality. The Entropy balance equation will be used to calculate the specific entropy at all the above noted states. Energy Rate Balance (assume KE&PE=0) dEcv/dt = Qcv-Wcv+Smi(hi) - Sme(he) Entropy Rate Balance dScv/dt = SQj/Tj + Smi(si) - Sme(se) + scv .....

False Memory Syndrome
Number of words: 804 - Number of pages: 3

.... "source amnesia". Thanks to the brain's frontal lobes, most people can distinguish the memory of a dream and a real life event. But if the frontal lobes are damaged, people cannot remember where a memory came from. These people retrieve bits of memory and can't remember where they came from and could be remembering a dream. Source memory is highly prone to suggestion and if you imagine it enough and use the source of the information then you have a false memory. With thousands of allegations of sexual abuse and incest against patients parents, this is one of the results of recovered memor .....

The Effects Of Antibiotics On Bacterial Growth
Number of words: 1287 - Number of pages: 5

.... provides for the next step in the identification process. Spherical bacteria are called cocci; the bacteria that have a rodlike shape are known as bacilli; corkscrew shaped bacteria are spirilla; and filamentous is the term for bacteria with a threadlike appearance. Hans Christian Joachim Gram, a Danish microbiologist, developed a method for distinguishing bacteria by their different reaction to a stain. The process of applying Gram’s stain is as follows: the bacteria are stained with a violet dye and treated with Gram’s solution (1 part iodine, 2 parts potassium iodide, and .....

Types Of Land Features
Number of words: 2108 - Number of pages: 8

.... large animals but an absorbent amount of smaller animals. Animals such as raccoons, skunks, foxes, voles, and mice are very common in the deciduous forests. Amphibians are just as common such as frogs, toads, and salamanders. Threats to this biome are happening more frequently. Acid rain and air pollution is threatening plants and animals. Deer population has become a bigger threat over the last decade. Because the deer have not enough predators to the area, their size is over growing. Tree bark is being striped from the tree and wild flowers are being eaten in large quantities. D .....

Genetic Observations Through The Studies Of Hybrid Corn, Single Gene Human Traits, And Fruit Flies
Number of words: 1737 - Number of pages: 7

.... individuals and what accounted for the transmission of traits from generation to generation. Mendel followed traits for the P generation, F1 generation, and F2 generation. The P generation is the original true-breeding parents. Their hybrid offspring is the F1 generation, the first filial. The F2 generation is the second filial and is the self- pollination of the F1 hybrids. It was predominantly his research on the F2 generation that led to Mendel’s Law of Segregation and Law of Independent Assortment (Campbell, 1996). Mendel’s Law of Segregation states that alleles sort into separ .....

Internet History Report
Number of words: 946 - Number of pages: 4

.... NCP. The term Internet was probably first applied to a 1973 research program that culminated in a demonstration system in 1977. It demonstrated networking through various mediums, including satellite, radio, telephone, ethernet, etc. using packet switching. And this formed the roots of the Transmission Control Protocol and Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). But it was not until 1983 that all nodes on ARPANET were required to use TCP/IP to connect to it. Also in 1983, the Department of Defense moved the unclassified portions of the Data Defense Network to create MILLET. Then in January 1983, the ARP .....

Magnesium, Beryllium, And Calcium
Number of words: 441 - Number of pages: 2

.... but calcium has not been available on a large scale until the twentieth century. Calcium is a metallic element, which is fifth in abundance in the Earth’s crust. It is essential for forming leaves, bones, shells, and Portland Cement. Calcium occurs in many highly useful compounds such as marble, limestone, and chalk. Plants and animals must have calcium to live. A plant cannot grow without a good supply of calcium. A lack of calcium prevents bones from developing properly. Calcium is the major component of teeth and bones. Calcium must be present for blood to clot. It also helps t .....
