The Entertainment Universe
.... and endure as much physical pain as possible. The dance
eventually gets so extreme that a young man in the crowd snaps his neck and dies.
The man does not stop his ravings and the crowd doesn't stop their dance.
Instead the man becomes entirely deranged, screaming at the body of the young
man that he is now going to hell where he rot in flames of agony for eternity.
The crowd roars and the man laughs.
What do you suppose would now transpire? At the very least the man and
the crowd would be arreste .....

Life Of Octopus Dofleini
.... 20-100m and, lasts hours. With female octopuses
receiving spermatophore up to 1m long.
Female octopus seem to prefer larger males as mates and male octopus may
mate with more than one female in their life span, however the male octopus only
lives a few months after breeding, and the female will die shortly after the
eggs hatch.
Incubation can take from 150 days to seven or more months. The female
may produce any where from 20,000 to 100,000 eggs over a period of several days.
During incubation the fem .....

Lipids
.... are also many other uses such as insulation and protection.
They are also used in making cell membranes. They make it so that the cell can
maintain it’s shape by keeping water and water-soluble compounds from passing
through it. The lipids that are waxy are usually used to make protective
coatings on the surface of plants and animals.
Since a lipid is an organic compound it contains carbon. They also contain
hydrogen and oxygen, but in some very complex chains there is also phosphorus
and/or nitrog .....

The Roswell Incident
.... other credible military and civilian witnesses have testified that the
original press release was correct and that the Roswell wreckage was of
extraterrestrial origin. One such individual was Major Jesse Marcel, the
Intelligence Officer of the 509th Bomb Group and one of the first military
officers at the scene.
On January 12, 1994, United States Congressman Steven Schiff of Albuquerque, New
Mexico, announced to the press that he had been stonewalled by the Defense
Department when requesting informat .....

Manatee

After a gestation of up to 6 months, usually a single pinkish calf is born.
Manatees ferquently communicate by muzzle to muzzle contact and when alarmed
they emit chripy squeaks.
The number of manatees has been reduced over the past several years due
to heavy hunting for their hides, meat, and blubber oil. Some governments,
including the United States, have placed the manatees under the endangered
species list. One practical reason for t .....

What Are The Major Components Of Biological Membranes And How Do They Contribute To Membrane Function?.
.... and then
there are specialised functions that depend upon the cell type, such as
conveyance of an action potential in neurones. However, despite the diversity of
function, the structure of membranes is remarkably similar.
All membranes are composed of lipid, protein and carbohydrate, but it is
the ratio of these components that varies. For example the protein component may
be as high as 80% in Erythrocytes, and as low as 18% in myelinated neurones.
Alternately, the lipid component may be as .....

The Search For Black Holes: Both As A Concept And An Understanding
.... spacetime and maybe give us a grasp of both science fiction and science fact.
Hopefully, all the clarification will come by the close of this essay.
A black hole is probably one of the most misunderstood ideas among
people outside of the astronomical and physical communities. Before an
understanding of how it is formed can take place, a bit of an introduction to
stars is necessary. This will shed light (no pun intended) on the black hole
philosophy.
A star is an enormous fire ball, fueled by a nu .....

Murder, Rape, And DNA
.... Typing is not perfect. There are many loop holes in it. An example
is the O.J. Simpson trial. During the process the DNA may be tampered with or
damaged.
In most rape cases DNA Typing is used by taking semen off the body of
clothes then amplifying the genes. The machine that copies the DNA is called
the PCR. The DNA is then cut and placed the wells in trays. PCR copies the
small pieces of DNA. It is performed by a blotting process. This process has
21 different catogories.
Other tests .....

New Developments Or Research In Genetic Cloning: Summary

one. The report on the cloning of the human's morphine receptor is advantageous
to us because this helps scientists to develop new analgesics.
The third section of the paper contains a brief discussion about the
advantages and the disadvantages of genetic cloning. It speculates how our
future will improve due to the technologies we are developing, and also the
biggest drawbacks which might come from it.
The last part of the paper, is the explanation of compl .....

On Darwin's Theory Of Natural Selection

coral reefs (1842), and volcanic islands (1844), but his greatest biological
observations were those pertaining to his theory of evolution.
Darwin's findings begin in the Galapagos Islands where he noticed a wide
array of finches whose beaks were different sizes. He believed that the
physical conditions on the island did not affect the birds' beaks, but it was
the birds' feeding habits. For instance, the birds with the large, powerful
beaks ate large seeds, while the birds with the small or fi .....

Orangutans

beard, and a diamond shaped face. Individuals can also be distinguished
chromosomally, biochemically, and by their cranial characteristics.
There is a great deal of individual variety in the orangutan. "Each
orang-utan had a distinct personality and in dealing with such highly
intelligent animals in captivity, the keeper's knowledge of the individual was
probably more important than the knowledge of the overall behaviour patterns "
(Markham, 1980). .....

Crickets will eat holes in paper or in garments especially those soiled
with persperation. They also eat young roots and seedlings, peanuts, garden
crops, grain, clothing, and sometimes other insects and even each other.
Grasshoppers are a different story. They eat crops and destroy millions of
dollars a year in them .....

Corrigan McAuliffe, born in 1948, was the famous winner of the teacher-in-space
program, was a high school teacher at Concord, N. H., a wife, and a mother of
two children. She touched the lives of all those she knew and taught. As a
school official in Concord said after her death, "To us, she seemed average.
But she turne .....

PCR And Its Use

to run it through the PCR machine. Here is a (rather detailed) description of
the process: "The cycling protocol consisted of 25-30 cycles of three-
temperatures: strand denaturation at 95degC, primer annealing at 55degC, and
primer extension at 72deg C, typically 30 seconds, 30 seconds, and 60 seconds
for the DNA Thermal Cycler and 4 seconds, 10 seconds, and 60 seconds for the
Thermal Cycler 9600, respectively."
Basically, that means that they set it to certain temperatures, then put it in .....
