Homosexuality
.... is misusing his teeth. In addition to misuse, Levine states
that this man will have a dim future on purely physiological grounds (Levin 355).
Since Mr. Smith isn't using his teeth for chewing, his digestive system will
suffer from disuse. The result will be Mr. Smiths deteriorating health. Levin
incorporates the evolution process into this example. He states that Mr. Smith
descended from creatures who enjoy the use of such parts. Creatures who do not
enjoy using such parts of their bodies will ten .....

Psychology

during interviews. Even our social lives are becoming affected. People who are
seeking the right partner are using psychological techniques to establish the
emotional state of their potential partners. As psychology becomes more and more
accessible and understandable to more people, I feel that it will begin to
influence our lifestyles more.
From a personal stand point, this has been a very difficult exercise.
This is a new area f .....

hands, and having exceptional social intelligence.
Because Down Syndrome is cause by a cell abnormality during meiosis, it
can not really be proven that Down Syndrome is hereditary. A perfectly healthy
mother could have a Down Syndrome baby even though there was never any sign of
the disorder in her pedigree. There are however, three different kinds of Down
Syndrome. 95% of Down Syndrome babies have Trisomy 21. This is the presence of
extra genetic material on the 21st pair .....

that you should eat more of the kind of fibers that make up Z-Trim to reduce
the chances of getting intestinal disorders.
But there are some people who argue with Inglett's theory on his new
substitute. "I wouldn't expect Z-Trim to have the same kinds of problems as
olestra," says Margo Wootan, a senior scientist at the Center for Science in the
Public Interest in Washington, D.C. "Fiber is alread .....

Eczema

on of eczema. Now, doctors believe they have found a gene that causes eczema,
but since it is not present in all cases of eczema, they believe that there is
more than one gene that can cause eczema. Also, a maternal pattern of
inheritance has been discovered. Doctors and researchers believe that this
maternal inheritance pattern is due to modification in the immune responses in
utero, or via breast milk.

reabsorbed by the establishment of osmotic and electrochemical gradients. Both
the Loop of Henley and collecting duct are used to establish these osmolar
gradients. The tubule has a brush border that will absorb proteins and
polypeptides through pinocytosis. These molecules are sometimes catabolised and
converted into amino acids. and returned to the blood. Sometimes the

Aspirin

alleviated rheumatic fever and arthritic conditions.
Though Hoffmann was confident that ASA would prove more affective than
other salicylates, but his superiors incorrectly stated that ASA weakens the
heart and that physicians would not subscribe it. Hoffmann's employer,
Friedrich Bayer and Company, gave ASA its now famous name, aspirin.
It is not yet fully known how aspirin works, but most authorities agree
that it achieves some o .....

Autism: False Words And False Hope

neurological symptoms, mental handicap, genetic causes, infections, and even

Even though autism is thought of as a disease or disorder, autistic
children can demonstrate special skills. These skills are referred to as
"isolated islets of intelligence" (Baron-Cohen 53). Some examples of these ar .....

Reversing The Aging Process, Should We?

play G-d has reached it’s final manifestation. By attempting to slow down the
aging process man is using himself as the ultimate canvas, to play the role of
the omnipotent.
Research into the process of aging began in 1961(Rose, Technology Review:64).
Since then a great deal of time, money and effort have been appropriated into
discovering the causes of aging, it can therefore be inferred that humanity has

I couldn't turn to my boyfriend because he wouldn't understand or care. Dre was

my case it was much more drastic than that.

the number of ailing vets and Saddam's stockpile of chemical and biological

The use of chemical warfare in the Gulf is a reality. First there was the Iraqi
