Global Warming
.... data may be responsible for some of this increase."
- Satellite data indicate a slight cooling in the climate in the last 18 years. These satellites use advanced technology and are not subject to the "heat island" effect around major cities that alters ground-based thermometers.
- Projections of future climate changes are uncertain. Although some computer models predict warming in the next century, these models are very limited. The effects of cloud formations, precipitation, the role of the oce .....

BLACK HOLES
.... having a great, massive, core. A star is created when huge, gigantic, gas clouds bind together due to attractive forces and form a hot core, combined from all the energy of the two gas clouds. This energy produced is so great when it first collides, that a nuclear reaction occurs and the gases within the star start to burn continuously. The Hydrogen gas is usually the first type of gas consumed in a star and then other gas elements such as Carbon, Oxygen, and Helium are consumed. .....

Tigers
.... tails to communicate with other tigers.
Where did tigers come from? Tigers (and all other carnivores) are descended from civet-like animals called miacids that lived during the age of the dinosaurs about 60 million years ago. These small mammals, with long bodies and short flexible limbs, evolved over millions of years into several hundred different species, including cats, bears, dogs and weasels. Approximately 37 cat species exist today, including Panthera tigris, the tiger. Tigers evolved in ea .....

Birth Control

trials. It is extremely important to take the pills on a regular basis and at a regular time of day (say after dinner or with breakfast every day) as effectiveness drops with improper usage.
The birth control pill cannot be used as a "morning after pill" without the advice and monitoring of a physician.
Common side effects of birth control pills are nausea; vomiting; cramps; b .....

The Chemical Characterization, is an important test. It does all of the following. If fabrication of the device involves curing of polymeric components by chemical crosslinking, then data establishing should be provided. This may be done by a various methods, for example: Measurement of Young’s modulus at low strain, as this is approxima .....

Basking Shark
.... 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). However, when they do
finally wash up on shore they are usually quite mutilated; their skeletons are all
that remain. Hence the .....

Bone mass is a cumulative effect of estrogen on bones scientists say, and so the study focused on the more easily observed density and mass of bone tissue in women. Four levels were accounted for, and the research was tallied. The risk for getting cancer in the lo .....

Biomechanics

Finally, they must create animated models or structural diagrams with labeled motions, stresses, and moment in the arm and rest of the body. The diagram below, obtained from a John Hopkins University Study, illustrates his action.
Another use of biomechanics is in the subject of crash simulation, human stress testing, and collision testing. In the attempt to develop safer cars, cars with special sens .....

Chromosome Probes At The Unive

" It wouldn't suggest a mode of therapy," he points out, "but would be a speedy test and would have prognostic implications for the kind of tumor discovered." As a basic research tool, Willard's probes could be used to develop a genetic linkage map for human chromosomes. "It's important to know the location of genes in the human genome, particularly disease genes. The leading approach to try to sort out disease genes is to use genetic linkag .....

CHEMICAL REACTIONS
.... In the Eighteenth Century Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier, in France, discovered an important detail in the understanding of the chemical reaction combustion of oxygen. He said that combustion was a chemical reaction involving oxygen and another combustible substance, such as wood.
John Dalton, in the early Nineteenth Century, discovered the atom. It gave way to the idea that a chemical reaction was actually the rearrangement of groups of atoms called molecules. Dalton also said that the appearance and disapp .....

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS IN CLONING RESEARCH?
There is no doubt that Dr. Wilmut's new discoveries have brought an uproar of excitement between not only the scientific community, but the general public as well. Groups such as farmers, surgeons and even environmentalists h .....

Creation VS. Evolution

Evolutionists mainly spend their time in the debate defending themselves. They teach the correct evolution (no, we did not evolve from monkeys). It is at times difficult to teach correct evolution to the public because the details of evolution can be very technical. For example, saying that evolution is caused by molecular variation of mitochondrial DNA throughout periods of statis and anastatis in a multigenerational tim .....

Cloning

Cloning / 3
Now that we have established the scientific basis of cloning, let me tell you how cloning can directly benefit humanity. There are many health issues that can be avoided, reversed and cured by the cloning of human cells and body part .....

That conception was sprung through the theories of Wilhelm Wundt and Edward Titchener who were advocates off a science of introspection.
Early in the 20th century the transparency doctrine came to a setback for three different reasons. The first reason was Sigmund Freud’s compelling evidence that some very impor .....
