Cold Fusion
.... of watts per individual watt. The actual physics of the reaction is not completely understood. Some claim it is merely a chemical reaction not yet understood, while others are convinced it is a nuclear reaction.
One example is a cold fusion cell which used .04 grams of metal hydride. It produced 86 megajoules over a two month period. A similar chemical reaction would have required 2,000 grams of chemicals to produce the same amount of energy. Another interesting point regarding this cell w .....

Constellations
.... farmers invented the constellations. Why did they do that? Was it for some religious purpose?
Yes and no. Around the world, farmers know that for most crops, you plant in the spring and harvest in autumn. But in some regions, there is not much differentiation between the seasons. Since different constellations are visible at different times of the year, you can use them to tell what month it is. For example, Scorpius is only visible in the Northern Hemisphere's evening sky in the summer. When they sa .....

Coral Reefs 2
.... their growth: temperature, salinity, water depth, and wave action. These factors expose the reef to changes in the environment very easily, especially since it is located so close to shore. This also makes it hard for all of the species that use the coral reef to survive. Coral reefs are home to perhaps one-fourth of all marine species. This effects the entire ecosystem of the ocean. Pollution by humans has directly or indirectly caused the death of 5%-10% of the world’s living reefs, according to marine .....

Coral Reefs 3
.... filters particles out of the water and excretes waste (nitrogen and phosphorus) that becomes available to the symbiotic algae. It's this very tight nutrient recycling within the coral itself that allows these corals to live in very low-nutrient waters.
There are three kinds of reefs: atolls, barrier reefs, and fringing reefs. Atolls are formed out in the middle of the ocean by volcanic subsidence, while fringing and barrier reefs form near continents. Florida contains both of these kinds of reefs, not .....

United States, whose 5,500 large dams make it the second most dammed country in the world, we have
stopped building large dams, and are now spending great amounts of money trying to fix the problems
created by existing dams.
Although the impacts of large dams have been well documented for some time now, in case after

Dangers Of Steriods

turn to steroids more often because they're cheaper then marijuana or
cocaine. A ten week cycle of testosterone cypinate and methandrostone
costs only about one hundred dollars. Steroids are also very hard to
trace because of their water base composition. They can pass through
the body within two days. All these benefits of steroids help an
athletes become more competitive and increase their chance of being a

Darwinism
.... natural selection provides the animals and
plants with the best genes. Supporters of neo-Darwinism believe that
natural selection operating upon random variation gave rise rise to all
animals and plants. While the source of variation is random, the
direction of evolution is not. In effect, natural selection removes
chance, and it makes the theory of evolution plausible. If neo-Darwinism
is correct then numerous small successive changes guided by natural
selection gave rise to all an .....

Darwinism
.... first theory, which is the best known and most widely accepted one, is creationism. Creationism states that God created the heavens and the earth. This is the theory stated in the Bible, and many people believe this and preach this theory daily. Many people attend church at least once a week to engage in discussion about their beliefs. This isn't the only theory, though. James Hutton introduced a different approach to evolution. His theory, uniformitarianism, suggests that the prominent features of t .....

Deficiencies In Development Of Cocaine Children

As for these children, incentives do not work. Normal children are satisfied with receiving a lollipop for reciting the “ABC’s” correctly. Cocaine-exposed children do not perceive this as a reward.
An area in the cognitive division is language development. The language barrier that most children must overcome is .....

Dementia

Also mild language impairments begin to surface. In the moderate stage, language deficits such as aphasia and apraxia become prominent. Dysfluency, paraphasias, and bizzare word combinations are common midstage speech defects. In the severe stage the patient is gradually reduced to a vegetative state. Speech becomes nonfluent, repetitive, and largely .....

Depression affects one’s mental life too. People start to feel worthless, guilty, sad, and empty for a long time (Kist 26). This disease can get people to think of death or suicide, some even go to the extent of attempting to take their lives. A person’s memory can ev .....

Depression 3

The researchers traced the inheritance of a series of markers on chromosome 18, which was identified in a 1994 study as a possible location of the gene. Chromosome 18 is one of three of four locations that look equally promising for finding the depression gene.
Overall, there are many causes of this unbearable disease, and often many times a combination .....
