He quoted parents as referring to their disturbed children as, "self-sufficient," "like in a shell," "happiest when left alone," and "acting as if people weren't there" (Nelson, Israel, 1997). Kanner then described the isolation displayed by the children with the word autism, meaning an absorption in the self or subjective mental .....

This information was organized from various websites. It also contains information from a newspaper article about a new monitoring site for acid rain in Irish Cove located in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.

Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome
.... The severity of the HIV related illness or illnesses will differ from person to person, according many factors but mostly to the overall health of the individual. The new advances in technology are helping postpone the advancement of the disease.
Lets start at the beginning. First, lets learn what AIDS is. AIDS is an acquired defect in your immune system. The passing of any bodily fluids could technically be used as a passage way for the virus. Once infected with HIV it will begin to attack yo .....

Buy beverages in glass or aluminum containers instead of plastic ones. Buy in bulk to reduce the amount of packaging, you will save money too. Finally, when you can, buy products whose packing shows the "recycled" logo. Materials that have been recycled once can be recycled again.
Wise management of hazardous household wastes is yet another way .....

Aids 3
.... Viruses(HIV) were first discovered in 1983 cooperatively by Dr. Robert Gallo of the National Cancer Institute and Dr. Luc Montagnier of the Pasteur Institute in France. Aids is caused mainly by the HIV-1 virus, while the HIV-2 virus is less pronounced among those infected. Scientists are puzzled as to why this dominant HIV-1 virus has 10 different genetic subtypes, some think that it is so the virus will survive no matter what.
HIV is part of a group of viruses called retroviruses. This cat .....

Air Pollution
.... is caused by a number of different types of pollutants.
The first type, particulate matter, consists of solid and liquid aerosols suspended in the atmosphere. These arise from the burning of coal and from industrial processes. Atmospheric particles can scatter and absorb sunlight which reduces visibility. Particles also reduce visibility by attenuating the light from objects and illuminating the air causing the contrast between the objects and their backgrounds to reduce. Not only does it ef .....

Alternative Energy
.... and by the use of lenses and mirrors can focus the light into a very small area. Very elaborate solar furnaces have
machines that angle the mirrors and lenses to the sun all day. This system can provide sizeable amounts of electricity and create
extremely high temperatures of over 6000 degrees Fahrenheit. Solar energy generators are very clean, little waste is emitted
from the generators into the environment. The use of coal, oil and gasoline is a constant drain, economically and
environmentally. .....

Alligators are most abundant in central sloughs, which is probably due to recommendations regarding managing hydrological conditions for alligators focused on maintaining alligators in central slough habitats (Mazzotti, 485).
PRIMARY HABITATS
The American alligator is one of the keystone species in the Florida everglades and other marsh systems. It is the only large, a .....

Antibiotic Resistance In Bacteria
.... was called Staphylococcus aureus. This bug is usually harmless but can cause an illness such as pneumonia. In 1967, another penicillin-resistant bacteria formed. It was called pneumococcus and it broke out in a small village in Papua New Guinea. Other penicillin resistant bacteria that formed are Enterococcus faecium and a new strain of gonorrhea.
Antibiotic resistance can occur by a mutation of DNA in bacteria or DNA acquired from another bacteria that is drug-resistant through transformation. .....

.... of acid and chemicals in the lake causes a sudden change in the pH of the lakes. The aquatic ecosystem has no time to adjust to this sudden change. Also, many aquatic species lay their eggs in the water to hatch and the pH change is dangerous because the acids can cause serious damages in their young. The sulphuric acid in the water also affects the fishes in the lake. Sulphuric acid interferes with the fish's ability to take in oxygen, salt, and nutrients needed to stay alive. Fishes aren't the onl .....

Aids 4
.... this country immensely more quickly than in other populations. It became to be thought of as a "gay disease". Because the disease is spread primarily by exposure of ones blood to infected blood or semen, I.V. drug addicts who shared needles were soon identified as an affected group. As the AIDS epidemic began to affect increasingly large fractions of those two populations (gay males and IV drug abusers), many of the rest of this society looked on smugly, for both populations tended to be despised by the .....

.... and it effects the environment with carcinogen. Carcinogen is a chemical agent that causes cancer. Sulphur dioxide is certainly one of the major atmospheric pollutants considered that it causes stinging eyes, lung damage, asthma, and acid rain. It is the result of coal-fired power stations. Nitrogen oxides that is produced by the exhaust of cars, causes pneumonia and asphyxia. The outcome of the well known dust particles is often underestimated. It is caused by industrial chimneys, car exhaust, and volcan .....
