The Prairie
Number of words: 159 - Number of pages: 1.... grazing animals and occasional fires.
Producer: An autotroph organism (grass). Consumer: Organism that eats producers
(caterpillars, bison). Primary consumer: Organisms that eat consumers (chicken,
meadowlark). Secondary consumers: Organisms that eatprimary consumers (praire
felcon, eagle). Decomposers: Organisms that uses nutrients from dead plants and
animals, it starts the chain over (bacteria).
Say that an organism was removed from the web, such as a caterpillar.
Though it's not the only grass eating organism it would still mess up the web.
Say you put the bison in its place, that p .....

Hurricanes
Number of words: 594 - Number of pages: 3.... the storm center, for the same reason that the air swirls
around a tornado center.
As this air swirls in over the sea surface, it soaks up more and more
water vapour. At the storm center, this new supply of water vapor gets
pulled into the thunderhead updrafts, releasing still more energy as the
water vapor condenses. This makes the updrafts rise faster, pulling in
even larger amounts of air and water vapor from the storm's edges. And as
the updrafts speed up, air swirls faster and faster around the storm center.
The storm clouds, moving with the swirling air, form a coil.
In a .....

Nucular War
Number of words: 1384 - Number of pages: 6.... in charge of all nuclear matters, including weapons research. Other types of bombs were developed to tap the energy of light elements, such as hydrogen. In these bombs the source of energy is the fusion process, in which nuclei of the isotopes of hydrogen combine to form a heavier helium nucleus. This weapons research has resulted in the production of bombs that range in power from a fraction of a kiloton to many megatons. The size of the bomb has been made smaller helping the development of nuclear artillery shells and small missiles that can be fired from portable launchers in the field. .....

Aggression As A Mental Disorder In Canines
Number of words: 692 - Number of pages: 3.... of dominance-related aggression include an increase in exercise, brushing up on obedience training, and ceasing to engage in any rough play or wrestling (35) . More recently, however, drugs such as Prozac have been used as treatment. Dodman says that Prozac is,"...extremely effective at curtailing dominance-related aggression...enabling owners to quickly gain the upper hand,"(34). Another type of aggression found in canines is seizure-related aggression. Symptoms of seizure-related aggression include a pre-aggression mood change that can last for minutes or hours before a seemingly u .....

Quarks
Number of words: 592 - Number of pages: 3.... three quarks
distinguished by flavours. Each has a charge that is a fraction of that of an
electron. Up and down quarks make up protons and neutrons, and can be observed
in ordinary matter. Strange quarks can be observed in omega-minus and other
short lived subatomic particles which play on part in ordinary matter(1985
Quarks).
The interpretation of quarks as physical entities poses two problems.
First, sometimes two or three identical quarks have to be in the same quantum
state which, because they have to have half integral spin, violates Pauli's
exclusion principal. Second, quarks .....

Solar Energy: An Alternative Energy
Number of words: 290 - Number of pages: 2.... of a constant nuclear fusion reaction that is
taking place. The amount of energy at the solar constant, which is at outer edge
of the earth's atmosphere, is two calories per minute per cm squared. A calorie
is the amount of energy needed to raise one gram of water one degree Celsius.
If we could efficiently harness the energy bombarding the earth for twenty-four
hours we could power New York for a year. Unfortunately the photovoltaic cells
that change the energy into electricity are so inefficient that it would take
twenty-five years to pay for it's self in output.
There many uses of solar .....

Evaluating An Enthalpy Change That Cannot Be Measured Directly.
Number of words: 627 - Number of pages: 3.... was then placed into the
polystyrene cup and its temperature was taken and recorded using the thermometer.
The pre-weighted sodium hydrogencarbonate was then added to the solution, and
the final temperature was recorded.
The contents of the cup were then emptied out and the cup was washed out with
water and then thoroughly dried. This was done three times for the sodium
hydrogen carbonate so that I could remove any anomalies that were obtained.
The experiment was then repeated in exactly the same manner except sodium
carbonate was used instead of sodium hydrogen carbonate.
The results wer .....

The Creation Of The Universe
Number of words: 1818 - Number of pages: 7.... I cannot believe in a being which created a universe and a multitude
of worlds in a rather short period of time then deigns to lower itself into
becoming a puppet-master and "pulling the strings" of the Earth and all of the
people therein.
Since this paper touches upon many scientific terms, I feel that in
order for the reader to correctly grasp the content I must first define three
words: Theory, Law, and Hypothesis. The definitions will allow for a greater
understanding of this essay and give us an even ground upon which to begin.
Theory; (thÿ1e-rÿ, thÿr1ÿ) noun

Dreams Rem
Number of words: 713 - Number of pages: 3.... competing motives.
Freud developed an elaborate theory and how the mind works while asleep. In 1953 sleep researchers led by Nathaniel Kleitman made the important discovery of rapid eye movement--or REM-- sleep. Curious about the long-standing observation that the eyeballs of sleeping subjects in both humans and animals periodically move during sleep, they connected laboratory subjects to equipment that measured their brain waves, muscle tone, and eye movement. About 90% of the time when subjects were awakened during REM sleep, they reported a dream.
Prior to laboratory REM research .....

Determination Of An Unknown Amino Acid From Titration
Number of words: 1634 - Number of pages: 6.... ion (Kotz et al., 1996).
Other forms of amino acids also exist. Amino acids may exists as acidic or
basic salts. For example, if the glycine reacted with HCl, the resulting amino
acid would be glycine hydrochloride (see fig. 2). Glycine hydrochloride is an
example of an acidic salt form of the amino acid. Likewise, if NaOH were added,
the resulting amino acid would be sodium glycinate (see fig. 3), an example of a
basic salt form.

Fig. 3
Due to the nature of amino acids, a titration curve can be employed to identify
an unknown amino acid. A titration curve is the plot of .....
