- 841: The Cold War
- ... the least. The first was to spray Cuban TV studios with LSD prior to Castro broadcasting a speech in hopes of him making a complete fool of himself. The agency had been experimenting with the acid for some time. However, the idea was quickly abandoned because no one could guarantee with any certainty that the drug would have the desired effect. Further attempts were stabs at the look of Castro himself ...
- 842: Prescribed Burning
- ... is today's Tongass National Forest in Southeast Alaska, naturalist John Muir set a monstrous forest fire "thirty or forty feet high" to dry his clothes on a rainy night. "It was wonderful - the illuminated rain and clouds...the trees glowing against the jet background" he effused in his Travels in Alaska. Apache Indians in the Southwest often used fire to send up smoke signals, burn out forests controlled by their ...
- 843: Protein Synthesis
- ... anti-codons. Each tRNA molecule attracts different amino acids, of which there are around twenty, and they "stick" to the tRNA and depending on which tRNA molecule it is it wil attract a diferent amino-acid.On the RNA every three bases are called codons these are complementary to the anti-codons of the tRNA. For instance a codon of - GAA - would pair with the anti-codon- CUU -. In this fashion ...
- 844: Pesticides
- ... to clean up the spill or how long after the spill did the clean up take place. If wind can carry pesticides when they are applied to crops, what is to say that wind or rain can not carry pesticides away in a spill. The data for the maps were provided by the National Center for Food and Agricultural Policy (NCFAP). The problem with the data is, until the early 90 ...
- 845: Clouds
- ... 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 ...
- 846: Gene Therapy
- ... all or be treated as merchandise? Patenting any kind of DNA sequences is just like patenting life itself, and from history we know that the ownership of any human being is wrong. DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid sequences in an individual can thus be considered analogous to a piece of property. Another question about gene therapy involves every person's right to true genetic inheritance instead of artificially manipulated ones. To many ...

Whatever doesn't evaporate or run off infiltrates into the ...
- 848: Genetic Engineering
- ... plants and improving the amount of milk and meat that cattle produce. With one respect to plant engineering, scientists are now working on splicing the genes needed for the production of 1-lysine, an amino acid which has a nutritional value for humans. By enhancing the nutritional value of corn in some Third World countries, an expansion of food supplies would be unnecessary (Sylvester and Klotz 20). But not only would ...
- 849: Genetic Engineering And Its Fu
- ... with extinct species and endangered species, the problem would simply not exist over time. We can also use genetics to breed trees that grow faster then normal which would allow for the repopulating of the rain forests which are being destroyed daily by paper and farming industries. If we were to deny the usage of this technology to restoration of extinct species, we would be no better then the societies that ...
- 850: Awakenings And Tourette Syndro
- ... considered. He theorizes that a newly developed drug, L-Dopa, developed for the treatment of Parkinson's patients may benefit these patients. He doses Leonard, with no initial success. Once again he theorizes that the acid in the Orange Juice, which he had been giving with the medicine may actually be neutralizing the effects of the drug. He tries once more with milk, and obtains some rather startling results. The drug ...
