Cloning Has Science Gone Too Far
1295 Words - 5 Pages

.... ewe's own DNA. After fusing, the cell began to divide as would a regular embryo. The embryo was then implanted in a third ewe who only a few months later gave birth to Dolly 1 . Upon news of this, many people began to question the possibility of not only creating genetically identical sheep, but humans as well. There has been much controversy on whether or not the cloning of humans as well as animals is ethical or even moral. Also there has been much discussion as to whether or not the benefits of cloning outweigh the dangers. WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS IN CLONING RESEARCH? There is no doubt that Dr. Wilmut's new discoveries have brought an uproar of excitement between ....


Encephalitis
1051 Words - 4 Pages

.... With vaccinations there are two types of immunization, which are Active and Passive immunization. The difference between the two is that Active immunization is used to control a disease on a long term basis, where Passive immunization is used to treat a disease quickly but only lasts a few weeks. Passive immunization works immediately but does not last where Active immunization takes about two weeks to work and lasts many years. There are many vaccines to prevent Encephalitis and some of the most common diseases in this topic are Measles, Mumps and Rubella, Meningitis, Japanese Encephalitis and Mosquito and Tic Bourne Encephalitis. Measles, Mumps and Rebella viruses ....


Capacitors
504 Words - 2 Pages

.... are produced in a wide variety of forms. Each form has a different purpose, but they all seem to do the same thing. are generally classified according to the kind of dielectric used in them. The capacitance of a capacitor is measured in farads. A farad retains one coulomb of charge with one-volt difference of potential. that use vacuum, air, or other gases are used in applications where values of capacitance required do not have to be large, but the energy loss in the dielectric must be very small. Some applications for these are in radio- frequency circuits and low- frequency measuring circuits where great precision is required. Another type of capacitor uses ....


Genetic Engineering And Its Future Impacts On Society
1731 Words - 7 Pages

.... It is not inhuman either. Of course, if you believe using animals for scientific research is morally wrong that's your belief, I am stating that genetically enhancing them to be better research specimens is not unethical. My reason behind this is that we don't just do research in order to infect and kill off the mice, we do it so one day we will have a cure for cancer and can save hundreds of thousands of human lives. Of course if you value the life of a mouse over a human then you would see differently. Some fear that this science is too powerful, granted we shouldn't let just anyone be able to modify bacteria, or the human genome, but we shouldn't let our fears blind us ....


Diffraction And The Debye-Scherrer Camera
2086 Words - 8 Pages

.... camera it will be advantageous to beginning with the fundamental concept of simple harmonic motion as it relates to light waves. Simple harmonic motion is the condition in which a particle that is moving along the x-axis has a displacement function given by the following relation x = Acos(wt + f) where x is the position along the x axis A is the amplitude or in other words the maximum possible displacement w is the angular frequency and f is the phase constant or phase angle and has units of radians per second. The phase constant determines the position of the particle at time t = 0. The quantity (wt+ f) is called the phase. The above function x repeats ....


Salmonella Typhi (Typhoid Fever)
336 Words - 2 Pages

.... water. It also hides in food that is usually a foreign delicacy of some sort that has been contaminated by Salmonella Typhi in some way. Typhoid fever usually causes high fever, head ache, sore throat, vomiting, diarrhea, skin rash, weakness, or inability to think clearly. The symptoms take about two weeks to go away if they don\'t lead to death. This bacterial pathogen is considered extremely dangerous and is probobly armed. Salmonella Typhi has been on the loose for many years and was cuased a lot of havoc and done a lot of damage over the years. Typhoid fever affects 17 million people worldwide every year, with approximately 600,000 deaths. To protect yourself from t ....


Deforestation Of The Pacific Northwest
1195 Words - 5 Pages

.... bill forbids federal agencies to fund or carry out any activity that would threaten the species or its' habitat. It is the latter part of the bill that causes the controversy. Under the ESA, loggers should not be allowed to cut down the old- growth of the forest. The old growth of a forest includes the largest and oldest trees, living or dead. In the case of the North Coast forests, this includes some thousand-year-old stands with heights above three-hundred feet and diameters of more than ten feet. In 1990, the number of spotted owls dropped to 2000 breeding pairs. The preservation of any species contributes to the biodiversity of an area. In an ecosystem, the absen ....


Fertilizers
580 Words - 3 Pages

.... There are two kinds of . There is organic and inorganic. Organic are bonemeal, fishmeal, blood, and farmyard manuer. Inorganic manuer is Nitrogen, potassium or any other element necessary in the aid of plant growth. If one accidently digests inorganic fertilizer, he or she must see a doctor as soon as possible. One can get red eyes, itchiness, and or stomach problems. During World War 2, the government built many factories to absorb nitrogen gas from the air and to use them in explosives. Soon after the war, these factories were used to absorb nitrogen gas and to be used as a fertilizer. This method was inexpensive and farmers were now actually making a profit. B ....
