- 10561: The Stroop Phenomenon
- ... stimulus was 'different'. This score for subject 1 at the 'different' condition was the lowest among all 3 conditions. When the stimulus was 'conflicting', subject 1 was losing accuracy again and so was not as high as in the 'same' condition. Subject 1 was less accurate in the 'different' and 'conflicting' situations. The average accuracy in percent for subject 2, was quite consistent, being one hundred percent in all conditions. So ...
- 10562: Life Sciences SIG: Gut Issues - Essay About Dietary Fibers
- ... in citrus fruit and the gums in some beans. And they're mainly indigestible. So dieters eating lots of fibre are likely to eat less of other, more fattening foodstuffs. As for why populations on high-fibre diets seem to experience fewer colon cancers, no one knows for sure. In any case, there is no doubt that fibre is nature's laxative, the dietary key to regularity. Nutritionists therefore advise you ...
- 10563: The Influence Of Writers On Charles Darwin
- ... theory about natural selection in his book The Origin of Species (Darwin, 1859, p.13): In the next chapter the Struggle for Existence among all organic beings throughout the world, which inevitably follows from the high geometrical ratio of their increase, will be considered. This is a doctrine of Malthus applied to the whole animal and vegetable kingdoms. Since Malthus' theory was very popular and well accepted amongst the scholars of ...
- 10564: Mechanical Energy
- ... In order to answer all these questions we must talk about the transformation of one sort of energy into another. The jet aircraft gets its power from jet turbines. These powerful jet engines create a high©pressure stream of very hot gases that push the aircraft forward as they leave the engine. This is an example of heat being transformed into movement. This is sometimes described as Mechanical Energy. However, this ...
- 10565: The Black Hole
- ... occurs. When the star is passed on into the Event Horizon the light that the star endures is bent within the current and therefore cannot be seen in space. At this exact point in time, high amounts of radiation are given off, that with the proper equipment can be detected and seen as an image of a black hole. Through this technique astronomers now believe that they have found a black ...
- 10566: Haloes Forecast Storms
- ... for instance. The appearance of all these optical images is a good indication that the weather will change. Strong vertical air currents associated with low pressure storms carry moist air skyward, where the water freezes. High speed winds above the storm system push the ice crystals on ahead. When you see haloes around the sun or moon, you can be sure of two things-there are cirrostratus clounds above and, in ...

- 10568: Hurricanes
- ... a week or more (example: Hurricane Dorthy) In that time, it may travel tens of thousands of miles over the sea and land. At sea, hurricane winds whip up giant waves up to 20 feet high. Such waves can tear freighters and other oceangoing ships in half. Over land, hurricane winds can uproot trees, blow down telephone lines and power lines, and tear chimneys off rooftops. The air is filled with ...
- 10569: Evolution
- ... interbreeding with otherwise isolated populations of finches. The result has been a variation on single specific characteristics which retain certain properties due to the singular islands they predominantly occupied. When the population of immigrants was high enough, the gene pools of diverse populations of finches presently occupying the island was modified enough such that offspring would inherit some of the traits of otherwise isolated finch populations55. Nevertheless, these finches developed characteristics ...
- 10570: Astronomy And Space Science: Your Bones in Space
- ... opinion of many the problem of osteoporosis on earth and hypogravity will be solved or contained, and once large rotating structures are built the problem will become academic. For completeness sake: Dr. Graveline, at the School of Aerospace Medicine, raised a litter of mice on a animal centrifuge simulating 2G and compared them with a litter mates raised in 1G. "They were Herculean in their build, and unusually strong...." reported Dr ...
