The Big Bang And The Steady State Model
1285 Words - 5 Pages

.... 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. ....


Iron And Rust
410 Words - 2 Pages

.... chemically resistant to corrosion which is the most satisfactory method of the three but also is the most expensive. A good example of this method is stainless steel. (2) Coating the iron with a material that will react with the corroding substances more readily than the iron does which leads it to protect the iron from corroding. This method is also satisfactory but is also expensive. The most common example of this method is galvanizing, in which iron is covered with zinc. (3) Covering iron with an air proof and also a water proof substance. This method is the least expensive, therefore it is the most common. The forming of rust is known as a chemical reaction. A che ....


Tiger Subspecies
562 Words - 3 Pages

.... tiger, theCaspian tiger, the Javan tiger, the Manchurian tiger, and the Southwest Chinese tiger are now extinct doesn't give you aportrait of the process of extinction. The Javan tiger became extinct in the 1970's in a set aside special national park under full protection. Politicans and bureaucrats seem to be obsessed with numbers and not trends. Let me illustrate this with tigers. There are frequently requests as to the exact number of tigers, or a tiger subspecies left in the world. That tells you that there are people that care. But there are so little tigers left that we can not even keep track of them. We should look at the trend that the population is taking, rathe ....


Gene Therapy
3603 Words - 14 Pages

.... a human in 1990. They developed a protocol for treating Adenosine deaminase (ADA) deficiency, a severe combined immune deficiency, also known as the "Boy in the Bubble disease." ADA deficiency is a result of inheriting two copies of the defective ADA gene. Possession of a normal gene leads to the continuous, regular production of ADA in cells throughout the body. Without at least one properly functioning gene, children have no way of converting deoxyadenosine (a waste product) into inosine. This leads to the rapid build-up of deoxyadenosine in the system, which becomes phosphorlyzed into a toxic triphosphate, which kills T-cells. The result is an almost complete failure of t ....


Dna And Forensics
666 Words - 3 Pages

.... turns out, this boy proved to be "the first murderer to be cleared as a result of DNA fingerprinting". (Joe Mickel and John F. Fischer, 1998) DNA can be found in such things as blood and semen. It can also be found in such things as tissue found beneath the fingernails of a victim after a struggle, it can even be found in saliva cells left on a mouthpiece of a telephone after a conversation. DNA is everywhere in a persons body, and can not be replicated. It is unique to every person, but all blood relatives have similar qualities that make them identifiable. (Joe Mickel and John F. Fischer, 1998) DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid, and it basically looks like a twi ....


Abstract From: Cloning : Where Do We Draw The Line?
771 Words - 3 Pages

.... five embryos in hopes that, at most, one or two will implant" (Elmer-Dewitt 38). And that "a woman with only one embryo has about a 10% to 20% chance of getting pregnant through in-vitro fertilization. If that embryo could be cloned and turned into three or four, thechances of a successful pregnancy would increase significantly"(Elmer- Dewitt 38). The experiment the scientists performed is the equivalent of a mother producing twins. The process has been practiced and almost perfected in livestock for the past ten years, and some scientists believe that it seems only logical that it would be the next step in in-vitro fertilization. The procedure was remarkably simpl ....


ALCOHOLISM A PSYCHOLOGICAL QUA
725 Words - 3 Pages

.... and integrity. Alcohol affects virtually everyone, whether the individual is himself an alcoholic, is the family member of one, or has been the victim of an alcohol related crime. In spite of the dangers alcohol presents,it is still in countless social cirles. Alcohol penetraes all ages, educational, occupational, and socioeconomical boundaries. Each year it is estimated that ten percent of all deaths are related to alcohol abuse. Am astonishing fifty percent of all major automobile accidents, and murders are associated with alcohol. On and on the statistics point to the enormous dangers of alcohol, yet it is a legalized drug. As bleak as this problems seems to be on ....


How Does Light Affect The Rate Of Photosynthesis?
1845 Words - 7 Pages

.... it in the clamp. I would place the ring binder around the clamp stand surrounding the water base. Finally, I would plug in the lamp and place it 10cm away from the pondweed. I done a preliminary experiment to get an idea how to do the main and proper experiment and what would happen in the experiment. In the preliminary experiment we didn’t use the safeguards so it wasn’t fair experiment. We did this because it gave us the idea what problems we might face when we did the main experiment and gave us the idea how to do it. The pondweed should create photosynthesis by the following equation: - 6CO2 + 6H2O 6C6H12O6+ 6O2 Photosynthesis occurs when plants ta ....
