- 6031: Anne of Green Gables: Narcissism
- ... about her looks. Anne meets Diana and they become Bosom Friends. Diana is Anne's first true friend. Their friendship blossoms and they spend as much time together as they possibly can. When Anne enters school she meets many other children and because Gilbert Blythe makes fun of her hair she immediately dislikes him. An intense academic rivalry develops between the two of them. This rivalry is may simply be vanity showing itself again so Anne can prove to everyone that she is the best student in the school. Or perhaps Montgomery uses the antagonism with Gilbert to set the stage for future interactions between the two of them in subsequent books. Anne and her friends, especially Diana play, imagine and grow together. Anne ...
- 6032: Raquetball
- ... bounce 68-72 inches from a 100-inch drop at a temperature of 70-74 degrees Fahrenheit -- no more, no less. The standard racquetball court is twenty feet wide, forty feet long and twenty feet high, with a back wall at least twelve feet high. The entire court is considered in play except for surfaces such as viewing gallery windows. Another important aspect to consider in racquetball is safety. A good racquetball player can propel the ball at great speeds ...
- 6033: The Atmospheric Ozone Layer
- ... plants would become more of a reality, with the eventual possibility of death. Stratospheric ozone has been used for several decades as a tracer for stratospheric circulation. Initial measurements were made by ozonesondes attached to high altitude balloons, by chemical-sondes or optical devices, which measured ozone concentrations through the depletion of UV light. However, the need to measure ozone concentrations from the surface at regular intervals, led to the development ... 1988. The theory suggesting sunspot influences was discounted because there was minimal NO2 measured in the upper stratosphere over Antarctica, and in the main area of expected ozone loss, above 25km, ozone concentrations remained relatively high during the lifetime of the hole. The second theory, suggesting convective upwelling from the troposphere, was also eliminated as a possibility, since trace gas concentrations normally found in the troposphere were not measured in the ...
- 6034: The Matrix-critique And Review
- ... Following intricate instructions from Morpheus (who appears to be able to see the entire layout of Thomas's world as if he is looking at a map, or like a god looking down from on high), Thomas sneaks past the agents into an empty office. There Morpheus tells to make an improbable leap to safety. He fails to make the leap, does not even try in fact, and allows himself to ... the agents. He makes a deal with the Agents to set up Morpheus and gang, in exchange for him to be hooked back up to the matrix Neo is a computer programmer by day and high-tech hacker by night. He is what Morpheus and Trinity believe is "The One", the man who will bring about the salvation of the human race. Neo doesn't disappoint, after going through most of ...
- 6035: Chemistry
- ... constantly. I am the plunging rain tah pours when the sun is shining, the white, damp snow that drifts in children's dreams, and the darting hail that prevents little boys and girls to attend school. I am the vivid part of life. I shield protection for those below me from the sun's intense heat. I am fed and drunk by those who go through hunger. As acid contained in ... fireworks "sprocketed" across the dark sky when the touch of two soft lips are gently pressed together. I am the warm tears trickling slowly down a child's face when the thought of going to school all alone crosses his mind. I am te pure exhilaration every time two people fall in love. I am rubbed roughly against a filthy body and massaged along a baby's butt. Ancient or modern ...
- 6036: Frank Norris' "McTeague": The Three Major Themes
- ... and meaningless clamor, totally unlike the ordinary bass of his speaking tones. It was the hideous yelling of a hurt beast, the squealing of a wounded elephant. He framed no words; in the rush of high-pitched sound that issued from his wide-open mouth there was nothing articulate. It was something no longer human; it was rather an echo from the jungle." There is another animal struggle in this story ... and meaningless clamor, totally unlike the ordinary bass of his speaking tones. It was the hideous yelling of a hurt beast, the squealing of a wounded elephant. He framed no words; in the rush of high-pitched sound that issued from his wide-open mouth there was nothing articulate. It was something no longer human; it was rather an echo from the jungle. This story puts animal characteristics in the male ...
- 6037: "How Is Helium Produced?"
- ... uneconomical. Helium is produced as a by-product of the refining of natural gas, which is carried out on a commercial scale in the USA and Poland. In these areas natural gas contains a relatively high concentration of Helium which has accumulated as a result of radioactive decay of heavy elements within the earth's crust. Helium is supplied to distribution centres throughout the world in liquid form in large cryogenic ... is also used in Welding, and as a heat transfer medium. Liquid Helium is an ideal source of cold for superconductivity and for low temperature applications. In particular liquid Helium enables the development of the high strength magnetic fields required in NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Imagery) Spectroscopy and MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imagery) medical body scanners. Liquid Helium is also used extensively in low temperature research.
- 6038: Acid Rain
- ... the winter and that all the snow and ice was running down into the streams and lakes. They believed that the snow had been exposed to many natural phenomena that gave the snow it's high acid content. Other scientists were not sure that this theory was correct because at the time that the snow was added to the lakes and streams the Ph levels would change from around 5.2 to 4.6. They believed that such a high jump could not be attributed to natural causes. They believed that it was due to air pollution. They were right. Since the beginning of the Industrial revolution in England pollution had been affecting all the ...
- 6039: Chloroflourocarbons
- ... the late 1960's when scientists studied the decomposition of CFCs in the atmosphere. What they found was startling. Chlorine atoms are released as the CFCs decompose, thus destroying the Ozone (O3) atoms in the high stratosphere. It became clear that human usage of CF2Cl2 and CFCl3, and similar chemicals were causing a negative impact on the chemistry of the high altitude air. When CFCs and other ozone-degrading chemicals are emitted, they mix with the atmosphere and eventually rise to the stratosphere. CFCs themselves do not actually effect the ozone, but their decay products do ...
- 6040: Purchasing Power Parity
- ... calculations are used extensively when developing international trade and monetary policy. Central banks use them to establish par values for their currencies, and arbitrageurs use them to help determine when market exchange rates are too high or low (i.e. when currencies are overvalued or undervalued). Most users of PPP calculations assume that the real exchange rate should return to levels dictated by PPP. In reality though, exchange levels clearly do ... that lay outside our discussion of PPP, such as goods that are not available in some area, obviously not all of it is. For foreign trade to occur, there has to be a price differential high enough at the destination sufficient to cover shipping, tariffs, financing, insurance, and any other costs involved in transferring goods from one location to another. Not only must price differentials exist, but they also must remain ...
