ADHD ON INTELLIGENCE
Number of words: 2217 - Number of pages: 9.... investigating the social and bio-genetic influence of ADHD on child intelligence. Testing and treatments of those with ADHD will also be discussed. In accordance with Dulcan et al. (1997) ADD, ADD-H, ADHD, although not identical, will be considered interchangeably due to similarity.
Characteristics and Testing of ADHD Intelligence
Even though ADHD occurs in people of every intelligence, a majority of children affected experience academic problems. These children may have specific learning disabilities, such as dyslexia, or may have multiple learning problems (Beiderman et al., 1993). .....

Linux Vs Nt
Number of words: 1051 - Number of pages: 4.... the estimated minimal required hardware costs that would go with a Linux machine is $200. In an NT machine, the minimal hardware cost rose up to $1300. This is because NT requires at least a 486 Pentium with 16MB of RAM. Linux can run fine on a 386 computer with only 8MB of RAM.
What do the majority of users need a computer for? Mainly word processing and the use of a database program. An NT user doesn’t have to go with Microsoft Office, but a lot of people do, costing a couple hundred dollars. Linux can run an Office Suite program that is very similar to Office for at least hal .....

the shark go into a feeding frenzy. It is not made to swim fast and its usual speed is
fifteen miles per hour. It migrates south to warmer waters to give birth to six to nine
pups. The only way it can defend itself is by using its mouth and its razor-sharp teeth. .....

Ideal Gases Vs. Real Gases
Number of words: 200 - Number of pages: 1.... and particles do not have any mass. Ideal gases
obtain no volume unlike real gases which obtain small volumes. Also, since
ideal gas particles excerpt no attractive forces, their collisions are elastic.
Real gases excerpt small attractive forces. The pressure of an ideal gas is
much greater than that of a real gas since its particles lack the attractive
forces which hold the particles back when they collide. Therefore, they collide
with less force. The differences between ideal gases and real gases can be
viewed most clearly when the pressure is high, the temperature is low, the gas

Common Cold
Number of words: 649 - Number of pages: 3.... 72 married white men for a period of 12 weeks, in which they kept daily diaries of their stress. Researchers then measured the subjects' saliva for a substance called secretary immunoglbulin-A antibody, the less they had of it, the more likely it was that the subject would come down with the cold. This may be true according with Dr. Stone, but an argument made by Dr. Gwaltney, "You see, you could have a ton of immunoglobulin-A and you could still get sick. If you don't have a specific antibody for the cold virus that's after you, you're still a goner."
Acute stress is one of the most forgot .....

Ozone
Number of words: 1858 - Number of pages: 7.... of ozone is enough to protect the earth from most
ultraviolet light. Ozone prevents most UV-B radiation from reaching the surface
of the earth (Environment Canada, 1996). Ozone is very important to life on
earth because the harmfulness of high-energy UV-B radiation stems from the high
energy of these light rays, enabling them to penetrate deeply into water, plant
tissue and epidermal tissue of animals. Increased UV-B radiation results in
harming the metabolic system of cells and ultimately damage to genetic material
present in effected cells. Living organisms on the surface of the ear .....

Historical Development Of Atomic Structure
Number of words: 1213 - Number of pages: 5.... when they are
arranged according to their atomic masses), published his first attempt to
classify the known elements. His name was Mendeleyev, and he was a renowned
teacher. Because no good textbook in chemistry was available at the time, he
wrote the two-volume Principles of Chemistry (1868-1870), which later became a
classic. During the writing of this book, Mendeleyev tried to classify the
elements according to their chemical properties. In 1871 he published an
improved version of the periodic table, in which he left gaps for elements that
were not yet known. His chart and theories .....

Acid Rain
Number of words: 375 - Number of pages: 2.... destruction of acid rain.
Acid Rain reacts to different types of soil and rocks in two ways.
1) Acid rain will dissolve alkaline rocks and soil, or will neutralize the
alkalinity.
2) Acid rain will increase the acidicy of already acidic rocks and soil,
such as granite, or the soil which results from corroded granite.
Acidic chemicals, and alkaline chemicals react to each other by
reducing the alkalinity or acidicy of each other. Which ever has the
strongest pH level, usually will neutralize or reduce the pH of the other,
but after the reaction is complete, .....

Greenpeace
Number of words: 771 - Number of pages: 3.... sometimes means that you have to break the law or at
least bend it a little. In USA where they protested against some factories
which deliberately lead their toxic waste to lakes nearby, Greenpeace sealed the
pipes, from which the toxic waste was coming from and furtermore the activists
refused to leave. A up-to-date example could be Mururoa, where the French
government held a series of underground nuclear tests and banned all nearby
sailing activities meanwhile. Greenpeace had no hesitation, sailed right to
Mururoa and stayed there until they were forced to leave by a commando squad.
