.... Atlantic storm. Causes that contributed to the strength of Hurricane Gilbert include: atmospheric conditions, the category rating, and the proximity of its' eye. The effects of the hurricane consisted of property damage, economic losses, casualties and some solutions such as insurance and funds. Atmospheric conditions were some of thefactors that contributed to Hurricane Gilbert's intensity. Hurricane Gilbert had extremely powerful winds that reached 160 knots which is about 175 mph and gusts up to 121 mph (Stengel 18). At 10, 000 feet, Gilbert's Counter clockwise winds reached up to 200 miles per hour, and at ground level the winds were around 175 mph(Stengel 17). With win ....

.... just beginning to consider it, as well as open a dialogue with colleagues regarding its utility as a research tool and a heuristic device in the sociology classroom. Three specific questions guide the discussion: 1) Why should sociologists concern themselves with the Internet?; 2) What are the various Internet technologies available to sociologists?, and; 3) How can faculty begin to integrate these technologies into their classrooms and research. Key words: teaching sociology, information technology, on-line teaching Introduction Information technology is quickly becoming the hub of efforts within the higher education community. Indeed, colleges and universities hav ....

.... or gamma rays pass. Inside the tube is a copper cylinder with a negative charge. A rigid wire with a positive charge runs down the center of this cylinder. The voltage across the wire and cylinder is kept just below the point at which a spontaneous discharge, or spark, occurs. When a charged particle or gamma ray enters the tube , it ionizes a gas atom between the copper cylinder and the wire. The positive ion produced is accelerated toward the copper cylinder by the potential difference. The electron is accelerated toward the positive wire. As these new particles move toward the electrodes, they strike other atoms and form even more ion in their path. Thus a ....

.... factory pollutants are only a couple of the impurities causing damaging affects to the ozone layer and atmosphere. We depend on the ozone to defend us from harmful UV rays. Finally, we have a major impact on the degeneration of natural resources. Millions of gallons of oil, coal, and other valuable resources are wasted each day. These are just a few of the human disruptions to nature available to our knowledge. We are conscious of many more, and there are probably others that we are not aware of. If we do not start taking them seriously soon it will be too late, if it is not already. We need to reevaluate our priorities and plan for the future existence of this world. ....

.... a photon, deprotonates to form a phenolate which then emits a photon (at 509 nm) and gets protonated again so the fluorophore returns to its original state. This cycle allows the fluorophore to reliably emit a high yield of light with no outside influence other than the incoming photon. So GFP is basically a stable little (27-30 kD) green light bulb that can be tacked on to other proteins at either the N- or C-terminus without a distortion of its compact beta-can structure. Biochemists now frequently exploit GFP’s unique structural and physical characteristics to visualize various cellular activities. One such application of GFP is to understand the role of a hormone, ....

.... North American Indians, with just half a percent being affected. Psoriasis seems to affect both males and females equally. There are two types of the disease. Type I generally occurs during adolescence, with an average age of onset of sixteen years for females and twenty-two years for males. Type II affects people over sixty years of age. There are several immunological abnormalities associated with psoriasis. Early psoriatic changes occur in advancing lesions before the accumulation of inflammatory cells. These changes are mediated by activated CD4+ T lymphocytes and can be detected before visible pathology to the skin occurs. Activated T lymphocytes exhibitin ....

.... and help the blood flow properly. are classified into 2 major groups. The major elements such as calcium, magnesium, iron, iodine etc. Then the trace elements such as copper, manganese fluorine and zinc. Once of the most important is calcium. Calcium is used to build up your bones. It also helps to keep your teeth strong. About 90% of all calcium is stored in your bone's. It also helps with mussel contraction. Milk products such as milk, cheese and other stuff it the primary source for calcium. You should have about 1000mg's a day. Magnesium is also another important mineral. This mineral is in most foods. It is very important in containing healthy mussel cells. It also ....

.... better understand the importance of the rainforest, one must be knowledgeable about what a rainforest actually is. The two main types of rainforests are temperate and tropical. Tropical rainforests are located in Latin and South America, Africa, Southeast Asia, and other areas in which temperatures stay above 80 degrees Fahrenheit year round. They can be found in 85 countries all over the world, however, 90 percent of them are concentrated into fifteen countries, each containing over ten million hectares. Tropical rainforests receive 160 to 400 inches of rain each year. Although these dense, damp forests cover just 5 percent of the Earth's surface, they can prov ....
