Biological And Chemical Weapons
Number of words: 1582 - Number of pages: 6.... warfare for Third World countries. The use of chemical weapons by Iraq and Libya in 1988 reinforces the danger that these weapons will spread (Cass 1996).
Not only are these weapons cheap, but they are very effective. Defense Secretary William S. Cohen held up a five-pound bag of sugar on national television last month to show how, with an equivalent amount of anthrax, Iraq could eliminate at least half the population of Washington. The US Law Enforcement Assistance Administration reported in March 1977 that a single ounce of anthrax introduced into the air-conditioning system of a domed .....

A Look At Anemia Related To Nutritional Issues
Number of words: 4320 - Number of pages: 16.... blood cells. Oxygen binds to hemoglobin, a specific molecule within each red blood cell. This molecule consists of heme, which is a red pigment, and globin, which is a protein. If the amount of functioning hemoglobin is reduced, a condition known as anemia arises" ("Anemia", 1). "The anemia that may result can take many forms, including that caused by a low iron level (iron deficiency anemia), a vitamin deficiency (megaloblastic anemia), a thyroid deficiency, the premature destruction of red blood cells (hemolytic anemia), replacement of normal bone marrow cells by cancer cells or leuke .....

Is Medical Testing On Animals Ethical
Number of words: 439 - Number of pages: 2.... deer, and cattle are commonly used for these senseless experimentations. The other
remaining misfortunate animals come from places a little closer to you and me. Some of them come from animal shelters, some from the “free to a good home” ads in the newspaper, or, even worse, some have been stolen directly from their own yard. Imagine your pet being crammed into a cage with ten other animals waiting to die in these cruel and heartless experiments.
The current system of drug testing places consumers in a dangerous predicament. For example, some drugs passed safe in animal exper .....

Cable Vs. V.90 Modems
Number of words: 1217 - Number of pages: 5.... that has been approved by ITU (in 1998) is DOCSIS (Data Over Cable Service Interface Specifications) which was developed by MCNS, CabeLabs, Arthur D. Little and consortium of North American MCOs. Later that year CableLabs established certification program that would ensure interoperability among the equipment from different vendors. Certified cable modems are expected to appear in second quarter of 1999.
While waiting for the certificates vendor already started to develop the products that would meet new DOCSIS specification version 1.1 (not finalized yet). Also MCNS together with Br .....

Creationism Vs. Evolution
Number of words: 2290 - Number of pages: 9.... for myself, 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.

BETA PICTORIS: PLANETS? LIFE? OR WHAT?
Number of words: 1554 - Number of pages: 6.... as, a “
placental nebula” (1), noting that it sustains the growth of planetary bodies.
For a long time, even before there was the term cocoon nebula, planetary
scientists knew that a cocoon nebula had surrounded the sun, long ago, in order
for our solar system to form and take on their currents motions (1).
In 1755, a German, named Immanuel Kant, reasoned that “gravity would
make circumsolar cloud contract and that rotation would flatten it (1)." Thus,
the cloud would assume the general shape of a rotating disk, explaining the fact
that the planets, in our solar system .....

Ocean Environment
Number of words: 2944 - Number of pages: 11.... in understanding
the formation of currents and the positions of water masses in the sea. In
addition, temperature and salinity play major roles in influencing the
distribution of plants and animals.
The sediments of the sea floor may be divided into lithogenous,
hydrogenous, biogenous, and cosmogenous sediments. Lithogenous sediments are
the major sediments on the ocean floor. They are derived from the chemical and
mechanical weathering of rocks. Biogenous sediments are composed primarily of
the protective outter covering of small marine animals and plants. If these
remains comprise .....

Chromosome Probes At The University Of Toronto
Number of words: 2250 - Number of pages: 9.... a family history of chromosomal abnormalities. Prenatal tests using Willard's probes would be much simpler and faster to perform and could be available to all pregnant women who wish to take advantage of the technology. Current prenatal testing involves growing fetal cells in vitro and examining them, over one or two months, to see if there are two copies of a particular chromosome, which is normal, or one or three, which is abnormal. A test using Willard's probes would require only a few cells and a few days to detect abnormalities. "I don't think it's beyond the realm of possibility th .....

The Stroop Phenomenon
Number of words: 995 - Number of pages: 4.... the same results as the previous two
experiments. The fourth experiment, with the introduction of less common
objects, subjects could name the words faster than generating a category
name for the words. Naming pictures are prone to interference when
incongruent words are presented simultaneously. Word naming is not as much
influenced by distracting pictures. Pictures and words differ in the
amount of information to be filtered out, to get the correct response.
The design of this experiment is a within subject experiment as the
number of choices to be made after viewing the stimul .....

The Effects Of Foreign Species Introduction On An Ecosystem
Number of words: 643 - Number of pages: 3.... begins to
restore itself.
When the biodiversity in the ecosystem is reduced, the ability of the
ecosystem to grow, or the biotic potential, is as well reduced. More species
residing in an ecosystem which depend on each other allows for a greater chance
of survival and perpetuation. This may occur for several reasons, for example a
bee and a flower. The bee requires the pollen of the flower to make its honey.
However, while gathering the pollen from the flowers, it transfers some of the
pollen to female flowers, allowing them to make seeds and spawn further
generations. However, a forei .....
