.... that have been made to halt the usage of these drugs so far has been ineffective. The fact is that anabolic steroid use in this country is still growing and will continue to do so unless a new solution is devised. The vast popularity of anabolic steroids is due to their powerful strength and muscle building properties. Strength and portrayed strength (a large muscular physique) are two factors that are directly related to the inherent need that man has to exert dominance over other males. This can also be verbally, intellectually, physically, and aesthetically. In our society we have always praised the athletes that achieve the most amazing physical feats or that have achieve ....

.... found to exist in the *age*-length relationships of C. maximus populations World-Wide. Although all Basking sharks are large, the females tend to be quite a bit bigger than the males, which is probably because they have to carry a whole other organism within (Harman, 1996, 21). Basking sharks have, at some point in time, also been known as the elephant shark, the Bone shark, sailfish shark, and sunfish. The reason this shark is occasionally referred to as the Bone shark, is because when they die, they sink (their density is greater then the water's density) and are ravaged among the sea floor, by rocks, etc. (Steel, 1985, 132). Howe ....

.... of treatment. They are able to mutate, split, divide, and create perfect clones of themselves at alarming rates. The efficiency that these diseases carry is also alarming. They are able to lie dormant for years before attacking their next victim. It is for this reason that the number of cases increases on a yearly basis. This is why individuals should take further precautions in preventing these diseases as well as preventing the spread of them on a global scale. Many people in today's society must take a more serious look at the implications that an infectious disease can have on one's life. What are STDS? Sexually transmitted diseases (STDS), also known as venereal di ....

.... the same absolute magnitude, but closer, stands even higher in the list. Note that most of these distances are really nearby, on a cosmic scale, and that they are generally uncertain by at least 20%. All stars are variable to some extent; those which are visibly variable are marked with a "v". What are apparent and absolute magnitudes? Apparent is how bright the appear to us in the sky. The scale is somewhat arbitrary, as explained above, but a magnitude difference of 5 has been set to exactly a factor of 100 in intensity. Absolute magnitudes are how bright a star would appear from some standard distance, arbitrarily set as 10 parsecs or about 32.6 light years. Stars c ....

.... that nature should be manipulated and perfected by humanity. Rather, its principle aim is, as of any other technology, to improve the quality of life for the people of this planet. Therefore, it is necessary to weigh the benefits and consequences of this relatively recent breakthrough and determine in which ways it can be used to humanity's best advantage. This speech will investigate the ways in which genetic engineering affects two important areas in today's society. The first one will be the improvement of the world's agricultural techniques. With an ever-increasing growth in world population, the Earth's resources are constantly becoming scarce. The advent of gene ....

.... was provided because of a accident of history, the over-exploitation of sea otters in the Pacific maritime fur trade. The study compared areas where sea otters were abundant with nearby areas to area's where they're almost extinct. By doing this comparison of the sea otters coastal system it was possible to gain much insight into the sea otter ecological role in kelp-forest ecosystem. Over the years it's been possible for us to observe the kelp-forest ecosystem over-time, thanks to the massive growth of the sea otters population we observed the change from otter- free to otter-dominated. This article relates to many aspects of our textbook. On page 89 in chapter 5 the te ....

.... would result for farmers and society as a whole. IPM coordinates economically and environmentally acceptable methods of pest control with judicious and minimal use of toxic pesticides. IPM programs assess local conditions, including climate, crop characteristics, the biology of the pest species, and soil quality, to determine the best method of pest control. Tactics employed include better tillage to prevent soil erosion and introduction of beneficial insects that eat harmful species. Many pests that are attached to crop residues can be eliminated by plowing them underground. Simple paper or plastic barriers placed around fruit trees deter insects, which can also ....

.... downsides. Just because a doctor has taken out the main tumor doesn't mean that the cancer cells are completely gone. They're too small to see, so doctors can't tell if they have taken it all out or not. So, just to be sure, doctors usually take out a lot of the healthy tissue surrounding the area. This could damage the person's system and their appearance. Also, cancer sometimes forms around structures that can't be taken out, like an organ. In these cases, surgery alone is basically useless. Radiation therapy is another option, and many doctors prefer this in many cases. When a patient receives radiation therapy, gamma rays are sent in to treat the region that the tumor is ....
