- 321: Hemophilia Manitoba
- ... for clotting. Because hemophilia is sex-linked disorder, it can be passed on from mother to child. This is because the gene responsible for making blood factors 8 and 9 are only found on the X-chromosome. If a female is a carrier that means that she has one bad gene and one good gene for this disease. There is a fifty percent chance that she would pass it on to ... of the two chromosomes. If a male has hemophilia, he will have normal sons and all of his daughters will be carriers of the hemophilia disorder because all he can pass on is the defective X-chromosome. Males mostly have hemophilia, but women can also have hemophilia. This is extremely rare though because two defective X-chromosomes would be needed. In fact, the first proven case of women having hemophilia was not until the 1950 s (Bornstein 89). Female carriers are also at risk. These women are known as asymptomatic ...
- 322: Rock And Roll
- ... They played small shows and did not put on any elaborate performances. The Sex Pistols were the epitome of a punk band. They were discovered in an antifashion clothing store in London called Sex by Malcolm McLaren, the stores owner. Johnny Rotten, the bands lead singer, was found while singing along to the jukebox. Sid Vicious, bassist, never learned to play bass. Their sound was exactly what McLaren was ... era, they were definitely one of the least talented. However, the Ramones, who were very influential, they were also one of the most talented. There were many talented bands on the punk scene. This includes X, the Voidoids, the Dead Kennedys, the Clash, and The Damned, to name just a few. They set the stage for newer punk bands such as Operation Ivy, Rancid, and Blink 182, which all have the ...
- 323: Sixth Sense Movie
- ... of Philadelphia, Cole must reconcile this frightening power with his desperate desire to be normal. Growing more isolated from his helpless mother and distrustful of his peers in school, Cole soon encounters child psychologist Dr. Malcolm Crow (Bruce Willis), who is led by obsessive ambitions, although weakened by the thought of his neglected wife. Still, Malcolm represents the only hope for dissolving the horror and restoring sanity. The main character would have to be Dr. Malcolm Crow played by Bruce Willis. Early on in the story is attacked by a former patient. The experience leaves him traumatized, and lost. Something inside him has died. Dr. Crow feels the only way ...
- 324: The Sixth Sense
- ... I witnessed nearly all of the various commercials for the movie, and the closest thing to revealing the story was when on a television commercial Cole Sear (played by Haley Joel Osment) whispers to Dr. Malcolm Crowe (played by Bruce Willis), " I see dead people". That gave people the idea of the movie, but it did not give the viewers enough to figure out the entire story. The plot consisted of ... is no movie. The actors make or break the movies that they are in. The actors in The Sixth Sense are absolutely incredible. Bruce Willis plays the role of an accomplished child psychologist named Dr. Malcolm Crowe. In the beginning of the movie, he is celebrating with his wife because he had just received an award for his good work in his field from the city of Philadelphia. Willis truly makes the viewer believe that he is Malcolm Crowe, not the same person was in movies like Armageddon, the Die Hard Trilogy, and Death Becomes Her. Bruce Willis' performance was very convincing, and the scary part about the whole move is that ...
- 325: The Laser
- ... parts of the electromagnetic spectrum which includes infra-red, radar, television radio and micro- waves (past red on the spectrum), and on the other end of the spectrum are the other invisible radiations, ultra- violet, X rays, micro waves and gamma rays. The wavelength of the light is important to the subject of the laser. A laser is made up of COHERENT light, a special kind of light in which the ... laser is a laser which uses free electrons pumped to lasing capability by magnets. These are powerful research instruments because they are tunable and a small number could cover the entire spectrum from infrared to x rays. They should be able to produce ver high power lasers now too expensive to produce. As mentioned before, the laser has many applications in the scientific community and in our daily lives. In medicine ... organs or removing tumours, as well as cosmetic surgery. Holography is a fun part of the laser technology because lasers are what creates the holographic images. Microscopic objects can be made into 3D images using x ray lasers. The information applications of the lasers are for reading and writing data to CD's. They are used to make high capacity audio and video recording and playback (music CD's and ...
- 326: The Forever Moving Land
- ... basaltic crust (2.8 g/cm3) making it seem as if the land is actually floating, instead of one big solid mass that extends down to the Earth. Using Broecker analogy: "...swimming pool with 4 x 4 hardwood beams and part with 8 x 8 softwood beams. The softwood beams would float higher for two reasons: they are thicker and they are less dense."4 As new crust is formed from upwelling magma, the ocean floor spreads away from ... various places around the ridge. The procedure most widely used to date the ocean floor is the Potassium-Argon dating method. It relies on any present radioactive material, Potassium-40. Potassium-40 decays slowly (1250 x 106 years) but not as slow as Uranium, which decays too slowly for this purpose and Carbon, which decays too fast. Potassium-40 decays into Argon-40 and Calcium-40. By measuring the amount ...
- 327: Uranium
- ... element present on earth. This was demonstrated by Dimitri Mendeleev in his famous perodical classification of the elements by chemical properties and increasing atomic mass. Experimentation with uranium lead to many discoversies such as the X-ray by Wilhelm Rφntgen, on November 8, 1895. Wilhelm Rφntgen, was awarded the first Nobel prize in 1901 for the development of the X-ray. Uranium is weakly radioactive, decaying slowly but inexorably at the rate of one milligram per tonne per year. It is transformed into inactive lead through a chain of radioelements or daughters, each of which ... its daughter is the gas radon, and polonium is the last radioelement before lead. The discovery of Uranium changed the world as we knew it, from its physical and chemical properties we came about the X-ray, following down the line, chemists and scientists used Uranium to make weapons of mass destruction, (i.e the Atom bomb).

- 328: Virtual Reality
- ... what he is supposed to be learning, and once he's flown a given maneuver, he is able to go back and do it over again, without wasting time or fuel. Years ago doctors used X-rays to see the insides of humans. X-ray's were most helpful in finding broken bones. These machines were an incredible break through years ago. Today X-ray machines are hardly ever used. Today we use computer-aided volumetric images of internal organs, often referred to as cross-sectional images of the body's interior. In the past scars were often ...

- 330: Marcus Garvey
- ... powerful revolutionary who led the nation into the Civil Rights Movement. Garvey dedicated his life to the "uplifting" of the Negro and to millions of Black people everywhere, he represented dignity and self-respect. Like Malcolm X of a later generation, he believed that Negroes could never achieve equality unless they became independent-founding their own nations and governments, businesses and industrial enterprises, and their own military establishments which are the same ...
