- 6011: Anorexia
- ... nervosa patients say that it may stem from family and social pressures, or from other types of stress. They think that many of the anorexic people come from an environment where often times a very high value is placed on being thin or perfect. Sometimes it is triggered by a dramatic change in the persons life. Frequently, people who have anorexia tend to be perfectionists. They have unusually high expectations, yet they often lack self esteem. Anorexics may feel that they have been isolated or friendless for some time. This leads to the fact that they sometimes feel that they are unacceptable people and ...
- 6012: Local Area Network Bridges
- ... Transparent Spanning Tree (TST), which common in Ethernet environment. The IEEE standard for MAC bridges is ANSI/IEEE 802.1D: MAC Sub-layer Interconnection. Bridge Routing Requirements In general, LANs are low-cost, low-delay, high-bandwidth (e.g., 1-10 Mbps) broadcast channels. A bridged LAN environment preserves the low-delay and high-bandwidth feature but its topology may be more dynamic than in a single LAN due to possible bridge or LAN failures and hosts being moved around. Bridge routing algorithms should meet the following requirements: 1 ...
- 6013: Fusion Energy
- ... protons) into helium nuclei. There is an enormous amount of kinetic energy and gamma rays released in this process that heat the star's interior, and this realease is what maintains it at the extreamly high temperatures (greater than 10 million K) required to continue the fusion. This process has been making the stars go for billions of years has clear potential as a power source on earth. Once we have ... only a small amount of extra heat was produced. Another approach to fusion, pursued since about 1974, is termedinertial confinement. Its aim is to compress a solid pellet of frozen deuterium and tritium to very high temperatures and densities in a process analogous to what occurs in a thermonuclear (hydrogen) bomb. The compression is accomplished by bombarding the pellet from all sides, simultaneously, with an intense pulse of LASER light, ions ...
- 6014: The Rain Forest - Example of a Flourishing Ecosystem
- ... the world. The pigmey marmoset is so small is could easily fit into a coffee mug, with room left over for sugar and milk. Most of these monkeys make their home, and get their food high up in the treetops. Here they make use of branches and loose vines as there way of travel. Often times monkeys will fall the equivalent distance of a three story building to get where they ... time is spent on the ground. This makes them a lot easier to observe, but in contrast makes them an easier target for predators. Monkeys are not the only forest creatures which live their life high in the trees, there is also an abundant amount of bird life. While this form of life is both beautiful and plentiful, most are hard to observe because they are hidden from the ground. Some ...
- 6015: Comets
- ... to observe two comets. I finished with the first one--Periodic Comet Clark--shortly before midnight, and had about an hour and a half to wait before the second one-- Periodic Comet D'Arrest--rose high enough in the east to get a good look at. I decided to pass the time by observing some deep-sky objects in Sagittarius, and when I turned my telescope (a Meade DS-16) to ... not looking for one, I get one dumped right in my lap. I had obtained an observation of P/Clark earlier, and I needed to wait an hour or so before P/d' Arrest got high enough to look at, and I was just passing time til' then and I decided to look at some deep-sky objects in Sagittarius. When I turned to M70, I saw a fuzzy object in ...

- ... goes AWOL from the army after enlisting. Gene dexcribes his relationship with Leper as "always a fight, a hard fight to win when you're seventeen years old and lived in a keyed up, competing school, to avoid making fun of him. But as I had gotten to know him better this fight had been easier to win." (Knowles 87) They sat down to have a nice conversation and ended up ... he never killed anybody and never developed an intense level of hatred for the enemy. Because his war ended before he ever put on a uniform; he was on active duty all his time at school; he killed his enemy there." (Knowles 196) This proves "A Spearate Peace" is a story of war because all of the death, hate, jealousy, and ignorance that go into the story are what the story ...
- 6017: Apollo 13 (AS-508): Houston, we have a problem.
- ... mechanism in bay 4 combined with the oxygen buildup in that bay to cause a rapid pressure rise which resulted in separation of the outer panel. The panel struck one of the dishes of the high-gain antenna. The panel separation shock closed the fuel cell 1 and 3 oxygen reactant shut-off valves and several propellant and helium isolation valves in the reaction control system. Data were lost for about 1.8 seconds as the high-gain antenna switched from narrow beam to wide beam, because of the antenna being hit and damaged. As a result of these occurrences, the CM was powered down and the LM was configured to supply ...

- ... become affluent as a farmer and grain dealer,(McHenry 1992). He grew up in a time and place where education was only considererd necessary for keeping records and accounts. He was educated at a primary school and there he learned the basic knowledge of the classics of Confusous.

- ... 200 miles) an hour. Voyager 2 found that the winds averaged about 300 meters per second (700 miles/hour) in the planet's atmosphere. Long bright clouds, similar to cirrus clouds on Earth, were seen high in Neptune's atmosphere. At low northern latitudes, Voyager captured images of cloud streaks casting their shadows on cloud decks below. Feathery white clouds fill the boundary between the dark and light blue regions on ... grams per cubic centimeter (the density of water is 1.0 gram per cubic centimeter). This means Triton contains more rock in its interior than the icy satellites of Saturn and Uranus do. The relatively high density and the retrograde orbit has led some scientists to suggest that Triton may have been captured by Neptune as it traveled through space several billion years ago. If that is the case, tidal heating ...
