History And Development Of The Internet
Number of words: 956 - Number of pages: 4.... of breaking up the message being sent into small packets which carry enough information to seek out its destination and sending them out separately towards the destination server. The message after being broken up would take separate routes to the destination and then be re-assembled by the computer at the server where the message was being sent. This was good because with more than one route for information to travel on, the enemy did not have one central point to target their attack to break the lines of communication and in the event of some break in the line information could still tr .....

Managing Waste, To Save Our World
Number of words: 205 - Number of pages: 1.... it must be managed. Managing our trash is the
"in thing", yet it is hardly convenient. Lets face the facts, sealed toxins
"won't affect us for a good twenty years". Although this may be true, there are
still many advantages to waste management.
Today, more people are in favour of companies who invest in "green products". As
a result, companies have removed phosphates, bleaches, and have made their paper
products out of recycled papers. At home, families, are saving things, like
leftovers, and making sandwiches for the next day. Industries are also
manufacturing most of their christmas car .....

Atomic Theory
Number of words: 531 - Number of pages: 2.... the standard gas to compare other gases' weights. It is relativly
easy to measure the weights of liquids and sloids, the same procedure for
gas is followed, more or less. In the early 1960s, though, the
international union of chemistry and physics agreed that there would be a
new standard, carbon isotope (carbon-12).
British physicist Ernest Rutherford found and proved that an atom's
mass is concentrated in its its nucleus, which is the center of the atom.
He also gave the idea that parts of an atom, called its electrons, orbit
the nucleus. He said that the electrons were "negatively charg .....

Information About Transgenic Organisms
Number of words: 329 - Number of pages: 2.... organisms have proved very useful in analyzing the function of gene products because a specific gene can be expressed in all the cells of a transgenic organism and the effect on the organism's development and function can then be monitored. It is also possible to use transgenic procedures to produce animals in which a specific gene has been deactivated in all its body cells. Certain genetic disorders of humans can be studied with this technique in laboratory animals if the disease-associated gene occurs naturally in both humans and an appropriate study species, such as a mouse. I .....

Endosymbiosis
Number of words: 2101 - Number of pages: 8.... the tear duct at the inner corner of the eye.
Heavy laughter or crying causes muscles in the upper eyelid to squeeze the lachrymal gland. This produces tears that flow too fast to be drained away. The eyelashes catch many flying particles that otherwise would enter the eye. As further protection, the eyelids automatically close when an object suddenly moves close to the eye.
The eye is made of 3 coats, or tunics. The outermost coat consists of the cornea and the sclera. The middle coat contains the main blood supply to the eye and consists of the choroid, the ciliary body, and the Iris. .....

Adrenal Gland
Number of words: 1019 - Number of pages: 4.... in their effects.
Norepinephrine constricts almost all blood vessels. Norepinephrine is formed by intravenous infusion to combat the fall in blood pressure associated with types of shock. Norepinephrine is formed in the body from the amino acid tyrosine, and epinephrine is formed from norepinephrine.
Mineralocorticoids steroids control the overall body fluid. Mineralocorticoids are critical to regulate concentrations of minerals in extracellular fluids. The major target of aldosterone is the distal tubule of the kidneys. There it stimulates the exchange of sodium and potassium. It reaches .....

Human Health
Number of words: 1011 - Number of pages: 4.... cause harm are in our products.
The products come in tablet or capsule form. These tablets
are cold pressed herbs and roots that have not been
subjected to the nutrition destroying effects of cooking.
This preserves
the product in the most natural state possible. These herbs
and roots are mostly grown in China and the Amazon rain
forest, thousands of miles from any pesticides, herbicides
and chemical pollutants. "The products are grown and
processed under the purest conditions that you will find
anywhere on the earth.
"We offer many different products" Bob explained,

Apollo 13 (AS-508): Houston, We Have A Problem.
Number of words: 553 - Number of pages: 3.... within cryogenic oxygen tank 2. When
pressure reached the cryogenic oxygen tank 2 relief valve full-flow conditions
of 1008 psi, the pressure began decreasing for about 9 seconds, at which time
the relief valve probably reseated, causing the pressure to rise again
momentarily. About a quarter of a second later, a vibration disturbance was
noted on the command module accelerometers.
The next series of events occurred within a fraction of a second between
the accelerometer disturbances and the data loss. A tank line burst, because of
heat, in the vacuum jacket pressurizing the annulus an .....

Homo Aquaticus?
Number of words: 2003 - Number of pages: 8.... bulb (scent), all
brain structures are larger in humans than in apes. The neocortex (part of the
cerebral cortex), for instance is over three times larger than in chimps, even
though chimps and humans are pretty close to equal in body weight.
Each side of the brain is diveded by the central sulces into independant
halves. Just before the central sulcus lies the post-central cortex, where the
opposite body half (right side for left brain, left side for right brain). Just
in front of the central sulcus lies the pre-central cortex where the information
for the voluntary movements .....

Dietary Fibre
Number of words: 4095 - Number of pages: 15.... increased amounts with caution to the fact that overindulgence may cause adverse effects.
Lastly the importance of high fibre foods in conjunction with a healthy lifestyle is presented as the 'formula' for a healthy body and avoidance of fibre depleted foods, a fact which is sadly abundant nowadays, is also mentioned.
Since ancient times, foods containing complex carbohydrates have been considered to be the ones with most nutritional value. Even the Bible speaks of how the complex carbohydrate manna miraculously sustained the children of Israel during their progress through the wilderness. .....
