- 701: Global Warming A Serious Threa
- ... happens, the harmful ultraviolet radiation in the upper atmosphere reaches the earth's surface. The ESP states that "Ozone damages lung tissue, and causes particular problems for people with asthma and other lung diseases. Even modest exposure to ozone can cause healthy individuals to experience chest pains, nausea, and pulmonary congestion". The data from ESP shows that heat wave killed 700 people in the Chicago in July 1995 and U.S ...
- 702: Hurricane Andrew
- ... during the transit over land, and the pressure rose to about 950 mb, Andrew was still a major hurricane when its eyewall passed over the extreme southwestern Florida coast. The first of two cycles of modest intensification commenced when the eye reached the Gulf of Mexico. Also, the hurricane continued to move at a relatively fast pace while its track gradually turned toward the west-northwest. When Andrew reached the north ...
- 703: International Space Station
- ... dollars, but that fluctuates with the worth of the ruble. With all the money invested to insure a prominent space station, NASA had to come up with the plans. They have the smallest sized station proposal, with a mass of about 500 tons, when it is assembled completely. ISS will measure 361 feet from end to end, and will provide 46,000 cubic feet of actual living space. All that adds ...
- 704: Human Genome Project 2
- ... of informed consent (the belief that no one s genes, not even an embryo s, should be altered without his or her permission) played an important role in the development of these procedures. The first proposal was by John Campbell, a UCLA geneticist. He said that a certain drug taken voluntarily by the patient would pair up with the introduced gene acting as an on-off switch. There is also, in ...
- 705: History Of The F-16
- ... being designated F-16A and the two seater F-16B. The reason given by the Secretary for the decision was the lower operating cost, longer range, and better transient maneuverability of the YF-16. One proposal from General Dynamics was for a single-seater naval fighter based on the two-seat F-16B, but with the space ordinarily occupied by the rearseat being used for increased avionics or fuel. On May ...
- 706: H.i.v. About Aids
- ... HIV s great evolutionary potential in mind, Nowak and his colleagues conceived a scenario they thought could explain how the virus resists complete eradication and thus causes AIDS, usually after a long time span. Their proposal assumed that constant mutation in viral genes would lead to continuous production of viral variants able to evade the immune defenses operating at any given time. Those variants would emerge when genetic mutations led to ...

- 708: Fusion 2
- ... practical fusion-power generation. Work on another major approach to fusion energy, called inertial confinement fusion (ICF), has been carried on since the early 1960s. Initial efforts were undertaken in 1961 with a then-classified proposal that large pulses of laser energy could be used to implode and shock-heat matter to temperatures at which nuclear fusion would be vigorous. Aspects of inertial confinement fusion were declassified in the 1970s, but ...
- 709: Ebola Virus 4
- ... American fiscal budget for 1995 allows allocations for the CDC which remain basically the same as those for past years and the $11.5 billion budget for the National Institutes of Health includes only a modest increase for non-AIDS infectious and immunological diseases research (Cassell 1994). In view of the magnitude of the problem, this budget is unacceptable. Currently, infectious diseases remain the leading cause of death worldwide. In the ...
- 710: E-commerce
- ... one of the biggest challenges is understanding the economic and social logic driving change. While much of the frenetic growth is fueled by the Internet's obvious capabilities-e-mail, newsgroups, Web sites, and a modest amount of actual market transactions-it remains uncertain what business models and Internet functions will prove most popular and profitable over the long term. Much will depend upon how the new electronic technologies will change ...
