- 1351: World Populations and Development
- ... led to the development of new professions, to labor specialization and ultimately to the stratification of these societies. Improved conditions of life led to somewhat longer life spans. Nevertheless population growth remained low due to high infant mortality rates. The impact of the neolithic revolution was not as much on immediate population growth (even though it did have a long term impact on population growth) as on the material and spiritual ... society. What was different, was its impact on population growth. It was quick and easily noticeable. Advanced sanitation, hygiene and medicine led to longer life spans and declining death rates, with the birth rates remaining high. This resulted in a high rate of population growth that still continues in many countries. The information revolution is the process of change that began in the second half of the 20th century in the developed countries of the ...

The more recent occurance of defection to the US of a high ranking deputy chief of staff del Pi¤o D¡az happened in 1987 (pg. 24, "A flight to freedom"). Ramius was the main character in the novel who decided to defect. The character helps Clancy to develop reasons for which such a high ranking commander would defect and later cause conflict to occur between the U.S. and Soviet Union. The use of historical facts common during the Cold War was defection which made Communism infamous and Tom ... human being, Colonel Vatutin. He, like many other characters, made decisions based on his beliefs about the State and also out of fear for losing power (pg. 209, TCTK). Vatutin was so brainwashed, like other high ranking officials, that he really believed in what he was doing. Anyone speaking out against the government should have been punished. Vatutin also did his job solely to get promoted to higher levels of ...
- 1354: Internal Combustin Engines
- ... One electrode is insulated by porcelain or mica; the other is grounded through the metal of the plug, and both form the part of the secondary circuit of an induction system. The principal type of high-tension ignition now commonly used is the battery-and-coil system. The current from the battery flows through the low-tension coil and magnetizes the iron core. When this circuit is opened at the distributor points by the interrupter cam, a transient high-frequency current is produced in the primary coil with the assistance of the condenser. This induces a transient, high-frequency, high-voltage current in the secondary winding. This secondary high voltage is needed to cause the spark to jump the gap in the spark plug. The spark is directed to the proper cylinder ...

- 1358: Skeptical Views On Noahs Ark
- ... the flood was global and created massive geological changes in the earth's crust. But there was no global flood. Creationist arguments are printed here in boldface: According to Genesis 7:19-20 all the high mountains under the whole sky were covered with flood water. The waters prevailed above the mountains, covering them 15 cubits deep. The reference to 15 cubits (22 feet) refers to the draft of the ark ... s barge was floating about the deep water of the Persian Gulf for a year, then the prior hill-covering local flood need not have been more than a few days. Mountain peaks several miles high did not exist before the flood. The mountains covered by the flood were less than seven thousand feet high. After the flood began, the mountains rose to their present height and the ocean basins subsided to their present depth. According to Psalms 104:8 "The mountains rose, the valleys sank down." Where is ...
- 1359: Acid Rain
- ... into the atmosphere and combine with the moisture in the air to form acid rain. The main chemicals in air pollution that create acid rain are sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. Acid rain usually forms high in the clouds where sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides react with water, oxygen, and oxidants. This forms a mild solution of sulfuric acid and nitric acid. Sunlight increases the rate of most of these reactions ... plus dry deposited acid is called acid deposition. The chemical reactions that change air pollution to acid rain can take from several hours to several days. Years ago, when smokestacks were only a few stories high, pollution from smokestacks usually stayed near the ground and settled on land nearby. This caused unhealthy conditions for plants and animals near the smokestacks. To reduce this pollution, the government passed a law permitting the construction of very tall smokestacks. At that time, people thought that if the pollution were sent high into the air it would no longer be a problem. Scientists now know that this is incorrect. Sending pollution high into the sky increases the time that the pollution stays in the air. The ...
- 1360: Crystals: Does Surface Tension Affect the Process of Crystallization?
- ... seed crystal is not present in the solution, then crystallization may not take place and the solution is just considered supersaturated. Crystallization may not also take place if the viscosity of the liquid is too high. For example, water has a low viscosity and crystallization is more likely to occur than honey, which has a high viscosity. If the substance is easy flowing and not thick, then crystallization has a higher chance of occurring. The viscosity of a liquid is related to the surface tension of a liquid. Surface tension is a state which exists at the free surface of a liquid; it is similar to the properties of an elastic skin under tension. Liquids with high surface tension tend to want to become as small as possible. Liquids with high viscosity tend to have a high surface tension, or low cohesion. For example, alcohol has a low viscosity and a ...
