The Study Of Biology
.... of biology are as follows: Molecular biology, which has made the most fundamental contributions to modern biology; Cellular biology, which is closely linked with molecular biology. Cellular biology deals with the functions of the cell and the basic strucural unit of living matter; Finally, population biology became firmly established as a major sub division of biological studies in the 1970’s. This field relates with the study of gene changes in populations, and ecology.
Biology also includes .....

Earthquakes
.... as body waves-that is, they travel through the earth's interior-and the other four are surface waves. The waves are further differentiated by the kinds of motions they impart to rock particles. Primary or compressional waves (P waves) send particles oscillating back and forth in the same direction as the waves are traveling, whereas secondary or transverse shear waves (S waves) impart vibrations perpendicular to their direction of travel. P waves always travel at higher velocities than S waves, so wheneve .....

The Origin Of Humanity
.... using a method called carbon dating to determine the age of the fossils. Which can then be examined and placed along a timeline. The time periods show slight differences in bone structure showing what is hypothesized to be the human evolving. Evolving from what though? The theory of evolution states that creatures change overtime to suit their surroundings. This is called environmental adaptation. The more a creature can adapt to it's environment the greater chance it has of living and show an increase .....

Yeast
.... is only a very minuet number. The most reproduction is created in substances containing much sugar. For some reason or another, this appeals most to the yeast, causing it to grow at a rapid rate.
Just like any other organism, in order for yeast to survive they need to have a significant amount of nutrition. Unlike plants, yeast lacks the chlorophyll needed to create its own food. It feeds on the sugar of many different resources to stay alive. Some of the most popular are different fru .....

Psychology
.... This understanding often brings a solution to the problems.
A psychologist's specialty and place of employment determines their working conditions. Clinical, school, and counseling psychologists in private practice have pleasant, comfortable offices and set their own hours. However, they often must offer evening hours to accommodate their clients. Those employed in hospitals, nursing homes, and other health facilities may work evenings and weekends, while those who work in schools and clinics .....

Oil Spills And Pollution
.... employed the assistance of 12,000 people and 1,385 ships and planes. They recovered a little over 2.6 million gallons of oil from Prince William Sound over the cleanup period. The estimated number of dead birds was 33,126 along with 138 eagles and 980 otters.
Usually, when we are thinking of oil pollution what comes to mind is maybe a disastrous oil tanker spill somewhere in an ocean that ends up killing thousand upon thousands of wildlife living in that region.
One example of this is the Exxon V .....

To What Extent Does Acid Precipitation Affect Annelids?
.... fossil fuels, mainly in power satations and road transport. (Kucera, (1973) The Challenge of Ecology, The Mosby Company.) Tremendous quantities of this nitric acid and sulfuric acid mix are reflected in the lowering of the acidity of rain.
Earthworms (Annelids) are a species of worm which are many segmented. They live in damp soil, usually forming intricate tunnels beneath the surface. Their bodies are lond and cylindrical, and have "bluntly tapered ends and are somewhat depressed posteriorly." (Storer .....

Black Holes
.... swallowed by the black hole, the process will produce some amazing fireworks.
The second puzzling question that astronomers are trying to answer is why isn't the black hole at the center of the galaxy? According to images from the Hubble Space Telescope, the black hole is 20 light-years from the center of the galaxy, but since the black hole is so massive it is hard to explain how it could have been moved. One idea is that the black hole is moving itself. Some astronomers think that the disk of dust .....

Creation Or Evolution?
.... "day" mentioned in Genesis 1 signifies a normal 24 hour day. According to this creation the universe was established in six days. Biblical creationists interpret most sedimentary rocks as products of Noah's flood. The majority believes that the earth is under 10,000 years of age. Some believe 4004 BC was the year of creation.
The person who proposed the methods by which natural processes cause the evolution of the species was Charles Darwin. He used natural selection to explain how evolution worked. .....

Marie Curie And Her Discovery Of Radium And Polonium
.... Poland to study medicine at a university in Paris. Marie sent a portion of her earnings as tutor and governess to Paris to help pay for her older sister’s medical studies. In 1891, when Marie was twenty- four years old, she was invited to live with Bronya upon her completion of medical school. This enabled Marie to enroll at the University of Paris and begin her own dream of becoming a university student. Marie studied mathematics, physics, and chemistry. It was upon enrollment in college when she cha .....

A Balloon And Science
.... and an object in motion will stay in motion unless a force makes the object change its state of rest or motion. This means the rocket balloon won't start until you let go of the closing (hole). It wont stop until it runs out of air or something is in the way of its' path. The second law of motion is: The acceleration of an object increases as the amount of force causing the acceleration increases. This means the more air in the balloon the farther and faster it goes. The third law of motion is: For .....

The Superstring Theory

The student baffled by this, prompts again, "Um, physics?" The teacher noticing the ignorance in the room explains, "Physics is split into two major fields: Relativity (Einstein) and Quantum. Thus, they explain big forces in nature and small forces in nature, respectively. They are not cross- applicable." The student, still baffled, persisted, "But i .....

Air Pollution
.... rain in areas far from the
emission site. The worldwide increase in the burning of coal and oil since the late 1940s
has led to increasing concentrations of carbon dioxide. The resulting greenhouse effect has
reduced the escape of infrared radiation from the earth, causing a possible global warming
trend.
The Prevention of Air Pollution
To cut down on all the pollution being released into the air, we have removed the
pollutant before materials are used, removed the pollutant after it is formed .....

Another major diagnostic tool is the tongue. It is said that the state of the internal organs is reflected in the tongue, and the practitioner will note the color and shape of the tongue as well as its coating. All patients can expect their pulse to be taken. Unlike a Western doctor, the acupuncturist is not feeling merely the speed of the pat .....
