Chemistry
.... chemistry. At first Boyle was mainly interested in the facet
of chemistry that dealt with the preparation of drugs, but soon he became genuinely
interested in the subject and started to study it in great detail. His studies led him to
Oxford where he joined such scientists as John Wilkins and John Wallis. Together in
1660, they founded the Royal Society of London for the Advancement of Science.
From this point onwards, Boyle seriously undertook the reformation of science. .....

Chinese Shih Poetry And Philosophy
.... he was stopped by a man who asked him to write down all of his ideas and beliefs. The result was the Tao Te Ching, or the Book of the Virtue of the Way. The book set forth the basic ideas of Taoism; that is, following the Tao, or the Way. The main goal of Taoists was to live in harmony with the natural world around them, and to rid themselves of materialistic desires. The primary concern for Taoists like Lao Tzu was to understand the way of the world, and to use that knowledge for self-preservation. .....

Chlamydial Infection
.... of the lining of the eye). The bacteria also have been found in the throat as a result of oral sexual contact with an infected partner. In tropical climates, a particular strain of C. trachomatis causes an STD called lymphogranuloma venereum (LGV), which is characterized by prominent swelling and inflammation of the lymph nodes in the groin. Complications may follow if LGV is not treated; this infection is very rare in the United States.
DIAGNOSIS:
Chlamydial Infection can easily be co .....

Cloning
.... and application of human cloning. Though this notion seems very unlikely to occur within the span of the next few years, but the possibility does exist, that the techniques which are currently being used to clone animals may also be used to clone humans one day.
There are numerous risks and concerns in regards to cloning. Cloning oversteps a limit that man should not exceed. Science is too close to taking on the role of creator if scientists get mixed up in cloning animals, and in the nea .....

A cloned child may also feel obligated to follow the pre-determined path of their gene donor. This would bring about a lot of confusion and emotional damage for the individual.
There is a great margin of error in the new technology of cloning. Because we are still developing these scientific procedures, there is a lot of room f .....

The Church of Scotland has extensively studied aspects of cloning. The General Assembly of the Church of Scotland has passed a motion to reaffirm their belief in the basic dignity and uniqueness of each human being under God. They express the strongest possible opposition to the cloning of human beings and urge to press for a .....

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 .....

Cloning Has Science Gone Too Far

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 .....

Compatisome Of Upper And Lower Rock Shores Pools
.... pools. The organisms need to be adapted to the microenvironment of the rock pool, as conditions are considerably different to those of a ‘normal’ marine environment. The rock pools spend some of their time completely submerged by the sea and other times exposed to the air. When exposed the organisms of the rock pool are part of a much smaller body of water than normal. This smaller volume of exposed water is likely to be changed significantly, mostly as a result of heating by the sun (Brehaut, 1982).

Households in Chicago and San Francisco can purchase groceries from home using computer software marketed by Peapod, Inc. This latter service allows consumers to search within a p .....

Computer Virus

The virus must do some kind of harm to the computer system or at least cause some kind of unexpected or unwanted behaviour. Sometimes computer viruses just eat up memory or display annoying messages, but the more dangerous ones can destroy data, give false information, or completely freeze up a computer. The Stealth_c virus is a boot sector virus, meaning that it resides in the boot sectors of a computer disk and loads into memory .....

Computer Viruses
.... include the possibility that a computer virus could infect a program without modifying it. Examples of this are the companion virus and the boot sector virus. A companion virus does not modify a file. Instead, it creates a new program with the same name as a legitimate program and tricks the operating system into running it, thus feeding the system a vicious file. A boot sector virus resides on the first portion of the hard disk or floppy disk, known as the boot sector, and replaces either the program tha .....

Consciousness As Determined Through The Times
.... mental state. In this view the mind is transparent to itself that is, it can perceive it’s own activity. For three centuries self transparence was the defining feature of the mind. 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 .....

The Sergeant majors of the genus Abudefduf are usually found in tropical and subtropical shallows all over the world. In the inter months, they are generally solitary or swim in small groups. From April to August, many schools are formed among them and the migration begins. During its reproductive season, the early morning hours are spent feeding in the upper layers of plankton. At ab .....

Creatine In Sports

The main reason for taking extra protein is to gain weight and muscle mass. In today's athletics, whether it is high school, college, or professional, the athletes are getting bigger and stronger. Protein works the best when the athlete is on a strict work out regimen.
Many sports supplements are a combination of herbs and proteins. A popular supplement of this sort .....
