- 1341: Cloud Formations
- ... a spot of pale light. The nimbostratus clouds are the clouds that we can identify the fastest. These are the clouds that ruin our day. Nimbostratus clouds are thick, dark, and shapeless and that brings rain or snow. The last height classification is the low altitude. These low clouds range in altitude from ground level to 6,500 feet. This division includes the last four kinds of clouds, which are: stratocumulus ...
- 1342: Greenhouse Effect
- ... of their faces or directly and immediately concern them, they pay no attention. If we do not take action, the earth may become Venuss exact "twin-planet", covered in a thick cloud of sulfuric acid and sulfur. It is not a pretty outlook to say the least. Any little thing can help, and, if we all take action, we can slow the greenhouse effect down to the point where it ...
- 1343: Saturn
- ... so we can not see the surface. But probes have found that its average temperature is about two hundred and ninety six degrees below zero and methane or ethane may be present in forms of rain, snow, ice, and vapor. The inside of Titan probably consists of equal amounts of rock and water ice. The thickness of Titan's atmosphere is probably about one hundred and eighty six miles. Titan has ...
- 1344: Surface Area to Volume Ratios in Plants (Arid vs. Moist Environments)
- ... plant communities, all came to the same conclusion about surface area to volume ratios. Many gave specific figures on the average surface areas found in different habitats, for example the surface area in a tropical rain forest was found to be 136 (km2 ) whereas in desert communities it was found to be 18. Similar experiments were also performed on seed size, and it was found that seed size correlated with the ...
- 1345: An Agricultural Movement
- ... harming their crops. Even then it was known that arsenic caused skin lesions, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and swollen, painful hands and feet. In England in the late 1800's, arsenic was found in contaminated sulphuric acid, used then to make glucose for cheap beer. People in the poorest classes, who could only afford this cheap beer, were displaying these symptoms, along with neurological problems and in severe cases, death. An estimated ...

- ... and the way the structure is intentionally left exposed add tremendously to the character of the building. It is an aesthetic of revealing versus disguising. The roofs steep pitched metallic roofs provide a surface for rain water collection as well as an intriguing roof plan. Due to its high recycled-metal-content and its low cost of material and labor, the main structure of the two-story house is comprised mainly ...

Unfortunately, lysine is the only synthetic amino acid that is currently priced to be feasible to use in swine rations. North Carolina regulators are paying more attention to livestock waste now. On October 1, 1995, Senate Bill 1080 went into effect. This law ...
- 1348: Electrolytes
- ... the cathode, a negative electrode) carry positive electric charges toward the cathode. Anions carry negative electric charges toward the anode, positive electrode. Strong electrolytes release many ions and conduct electricity well. Weak electrolytes, like acetic acid, dont release many ions and conduct poorly. Non electrolytes, like sugar, release no ions and form non conducting solutions. A couple electrolytes conduct electricity as solids. These solid electrolytes have ions that can move ...
- 1349: Microbiology
- ... causing the pores to close. This traps the dye in the cell walls, making the cell appear purple. These cells are called gram negative. As with all cells, bacteria contain genetic material called DNA. (deoxyribonucleic acid) But unlike most cellular DNA that is arranged in strands, bacterial DNA is in a circular arrangement. Bacteria also often have added genes or smaller rings called plasmids. Also unlike the DNA of eukaryotic cells ...
- 1350: Black Friday: Tornado in Canada
- ... great instability in the atmosphere and often appear during severe thunderstorms (see appendix #1 for a scientific explaination on how it really starts). Strong updrafts present in severe thunderstorms result in a rotational momentum. Falling rain and/or snow probably drags air from aloft when it comes falling down. The combination of severe thunderstorms and sweltering heat are the breeding grounds for a tornados' formation. The first sign of a tornado ...
