.... a dramatic change in alcohol’s social acceptance or usage. Most people know what alcohol is, but not everyone knows its history, where it comes from, or how it is produced. Alcohol is a word derived from the Arabic al-kohl, which was a term used to describe eyeliner that Middle Eastern women wore. Later, the definition broadened to mean an exotic substance (Monroe 5-6). It was primarily used among ancient people for special ceremonies, magic, and medicine, and “by about 1500 BC, Egyptian doctors included beer or wine in about 15 percent of their medicines”(Monroe 8-9). Alcoholic beverages are produced through a process called fermentation using plants such ....

.... varies depending on factors such as the amount of water already in the soil, soil composition, vegetation cover and degree of slope. Surface runoff eventually reaches a stream or other surface water body where it is again evaporated into the atmosphere. Infiltration, however, moves under the force of gravity through the soil. If soils are dry, water is absorbed by the soil until it is thoroughly wetted. Then excess infiltration begins to move slowly downward to the water table. Once it reaches the water table, it is called ground water. Ground water continues to move downward and laterally through the subsurface. Eventually it discharges through hillside springs or seeps i ....

.... Introduction Remembering is the retrieval of information, which is stored in memory. The act of remembering takes place when a correct response is given to a certain stimuli presented. Forgetting is a weakening of this stimulus- response relationship. The Purpose of this experiment is to determine what type of stimulus information is more easily remembered, be it in randomized manner or meaningful. When are more errors made in remembering the stimuli, among these two types of stimuli used (CVC). Also, when a correct response is given, which was the type of stimuli (CVC) that caused this to occur. The design of this experimen ....

.... from the soil (EPA). When the trees weaken from the acid, it has a harder time fighting off adversaries such as fungi, diseases, and frost so subsequently it dies. Around the 1970s the acid rain dilemma got worse, the acid rain has put trees in danger and now they are starting to die off. The effects of acid rain on a tree is shown if it has less foliage, yellow spots and produces many cones (Baines, 22). Secondly, acid rain damages the trees through the soil by releasing metals that harm them even further (Lucas, 72). Acid rain makes the trees lose their leaves, so when the trees try to regrow their leaves, buds come instead, this process is ....

.... by the media is predicted to cause enough chaos and pandemonium by itself. In a recent survey, it was proven that over 50% of the American people are afraid of the bug and what it will do. If this matter is not addressed soon it will be responsible for many casualties. Another branch of technology that has caused casualties in the past and is bound to cause many more in the future is weapons. The weapon that has had the most impact is the gun. It has killed millions, not only in wars, but in everyday life as well. In addition, there is the atomic bomb that killed thousands at Hiroshima. More recently there is the nuclear missile that is capable of wiping out an e ....

.... trees, cars, paper, even you. So let's shrink down to size and see what it's like. We're going to into the Helium atom today. An atom is made of little things called protons, nuetrons, and electrons. Protons have a positive charge, neutrons have no charge, and electrons have a negative charge. Electrons travel around the center of the atom, which is called the nucleus. Kind of like how Earth revolves around the sun. Protons and nuetrons make up the center of the atom. The atom has an atomic number. Scientists find that number by counting how many protons are in the nucleus. In this case Helium has two protons. Scientists find the average atomic mass by adding up protons a ....

.... the amount of Carbon 14 in a rock, the age of the rock can be estimated. In the case of inorganic and older rocks, Carbon 14 would not be a good choice because of its short half life. Uranium, which is known to have a much longer half life would be a good alternative. If a pound of the metal Uranium is left to decay, it would take approximately 4.5 billion years for it to turn into half a pound of Lead ( Howter, 1996, Radiometric Dating: An Exercise in Faith). As it turns out, this is what scientists believe to be. The assumption that the earth is 4.5 billion years old has raised doubts in the minds of some skeptics who question the accuracy of the data used in radiomet ....

.... matter and radiation of that early stage rapidly expanded and cooled. Several million years later, it condensed into galaxies. The universe has continued to expand, and the galaxies have continued moving away from each other ever since. Today the universe is still expanding, as astronomers have observed. The Steady State model says that the universe does not evolve or change in time. There was no beginning in the past, nor will there be change in the future. This model assumes the perfect cosmological principle. This principle says that the universe is the same everywhere on the large scale, at all times.2 It maintains the same average density of matter forever. There ....
