1297 Words - 5 Pages.... among ADHD children.
ADHD was described as early as 1845 by the German physician Henrich Hoffman in his classic Der Struwelpeter (Slovenly Peter), a collection of humorous moral tales for children. The heroes were taken from his observations of children. In 1902, Dr. G. F. Still, described the behavior of a group of hyperactive children. He knew of no medical reasons for their behavior and made no mention of their educational needs or social skills. He said that part of the problem with ADHD children was "deficient training in the home." In 1923, researcher, F. G. Ebaugh, was one of the first to publish a professional paper recognizing ADHD as a long-term p ....

Death Of A Planet
1460 Words - 6 Pages.... partially. When hydrocarbons come in contact with sunlight they
form ground level ozone. Ground level ozone is a major ingredient in the
formation of smog. Ground level ozone is responsible for irritating eyes,
damaging lungs, and it complicating respiratory problems. Hydrocarbons aren't
the only pollutants released through car exhaust.
Two more pollutants released through car exhaust are carbon monoxide and
nitrogen oxide. The first reduces the flow of oxygen to the bloodstream, and
could harm people with heart disease. Nitrogen oxide is formed when a car
engine gets hot. It contains chemicals that aid in the formation of ground
level ozone as well as acid rain (2 fa ....

bloodthirsty, wolves are among some of the world's smartest and most perceptive
mammals.
Where found:
Wolves are found all over the world, and on almost every major continent
of the earth. The following wolves are types of Gray Wolves (Canis lupus).
In eastern Europe the European Wolf (Canis lupus lupus) can be found
even though it used to roam most of western Europe as well. In Spain, two
wolves have also been identified-Canis lupus deitanus and Canis lupus signatus.
While the first is similar to many of the other European wolves, the latter may
be more closely related to the jackal (Canis aureus), than to a wolf. The
Cau ....

Reforestation
795 Words - 3 Pages.... also another reason. Arguments
say "the United States could help slow the atmospheric accumulation of carbon
dioxide by replacing old-growth forests with faster-growing young trees". A new
study of young and old forests says how this is in fact not true. Loggers have
said that new trees pull the carbon dioxide better than old trees, and this may
seem true, but it is not. There is one point being overlooked from all of this.
The older, larger trees can store much, much more carbon dioxide than a new tree
could. By cutting and burning these magnificent seasoned trees, the CO2 is
being released back into the atmosphere. These releases of carbon dioxide add
up in our surro ....

In Vitro Fertilization
771 Words - 3 Pages.... monitoring the development of ripening eggs in a woman’s ovaries, collecting the eggs, collecting the sperm, incubation of the egg and sperm in a laboratory, transferring the embryo to the uterus, and waiting for pregnancy or menstruation. When a couple is unable to conceive, another woman must donate her eggs to the couple in order for IVF to succeed. To retrieve eggs from the donor, an IVF doctor will first treat the donor with fertility drugs to control the timing of the egg release and the chance of collecting more than one egg. This process is called "super ovulation". The egg follicles are then monitored through an ultrasound for four to five days. After ....

Genetic Engenering -4
957 Words - 4 Pages.... Scientists might achieve the results they intended once in twenty times, making the procedure far to risky to preform on a human embryo" (Nash 2).
Many times scientist have proved that they do indeed have the power to duplicate an animal, plant and human body parts so that they are exactly identical to each other. For example, in May of 1998, scientists successfully cloned a calf using a new cloning technology that could make it possible to create "designer" cattle. Also, in June of 1998, there was talk about having successfully cloned a mouse swept through the scientific community(Nash 3). These are just a few of many times scientists have cloned an animal. ....

Large areas of Jamaica were devastated and the country’s Prime Minister, Edward Seaga, pronounce it the worst natural disaster ever to strike his country. Greatest loss of life however, occurred in Mexico where Gilbert hit twice, first of all traversing the Yucatan Peninsula and two days later making landfall some 150 km south of the border with the USA, finally dissipating near the city of Monterrey.
During its most intense phase at the western end of the Caribbean Sea, Gilbert was estimated to have central pressure of 885mbar, and maximum sustained winds in its circulation over ....

Computer Aided Drafting And Design

CADD systems were developed along with the computer. They were developed very slowly. They went from being very large, clumsy, elaborate machines which needed lots of human intervention to one program on a floppy disk. When the power of computers increased, so did the possibilities of CADD.
Images on CADD systems are drawn with the aid of a keyboard, mouse, or tracking ball. One selects the starting point of a line, the ending point, and the line is drawn. A scale at the bottom of the screen tells how long the line will be. On some CADD ....
