- 15541: The Problem of Global Warming
- ... is getting worse. The Earth has warmed 0.3 to 0.6 degrees Celsius since the late 1800s. Scientists believe that the cause is the greenhouse effect, the process of trapping heat in the Earth's atmosphere because of the presence of large amounts of carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons, methane, and nitrogen oxides. Less oxygen is being produced and cleaning the atmosphere allowing more of these gases to do its work on ... the top five for highest amounts of carbon produced per year. This is another factor that somehow has to be dealt with. All of these causes of global warming have been know by scientists, it's the effects we are seeing in today's climate now they had no idea of. Arctic glaciers are melting and causing the ocean's water level to rise. It has be proven that if the water level were to rise anymore then ...
- 15542: Remotely Operated Vehicles
- Remotely Operated Vehicles An ROV is a remotely operated vehicle which is a robot that moves in response to commands given by a human operator or a computer from a distance. Rov's mainly consist of a frame, a control system, a propulsion system, a tether management system and some usually have an on board camera. ROV's have been used for the last thirty years. They have been doing tasks that divers can't, do to Economical and safety reasons. A Submersible is a piece of machinery designed to do an underwater function. Submersible's and rov's are important to Marine biologists so they can study underwater ...
- 15543: Experiment to See if Soaking A Golf Ball Affects its Distance
- ... have an effect on the golf balls distance. Control: My unsoaked golf balls. Reasearch: Per information sent to me by Titleist: Exposing a golf ball to water has a negative effect on the golf ball's performance. On average, after one week submerged in water, a two piece golf ball will lose 6 yards off a drive. The loss of performance for wound construction is even more significant, averaging a loss of distance of up to 9 yards. The History of the Golf Ball: The first ever golf ball was called the Feathery and introduced in the 1400's it was a stitched leather pouch soaked and then stuffed with goose feathers. Upon drying, the feathers expanded and the leather contracted, forming an extremely hard mass. This was hammered round and painted white. The ... arc of the golf balls drive. Dimples disrupt the flow of air around the ball, thereby decreasing drag, or the airs resistance to the balls movement through it. The dimples enhance lift as the ball's spin increases the air velocity over the ball and reduces it below the ball. Air pressure thus is created underneath and a vacuumlike condition above, similar to the lift generated by the wings of ...
- 15544: New Developments or Research in Genetic Cloning: Summary
- ... helpful in the future for patients waiting for organ transplants. Scientists will be able to clone a fully functional organ, and replace it with the damaged one. The report on the cloning of the human's morphine receptor is advantageous to us because this helps scientists to develop new analgesics. The third section of the paper contains a brief discussion about the advantages and the disadvantages of genetic cloning. It speculates ... Dr. Wilmut and his team used the nuclear transfer technique (mentioned in part I) to continue. An unfertilized egg cell is taken from a Scottish Blackface ewe. The first step is to remove the egg's nucleus, while leaving the cytoplasm intact. They then place the nucleus along side the cell from the Finn Dorset ewe. An electric pulse was used to fuse them together, and a second one to imitate ... by multiple kinases at mitosis. Plx 1, a kinase that associates with and phosphorylates the NH3 (amino) end of Cdc25, was purified extensively from Xenopus egg extracts. Dr. Kumagai and his colleagues in C.I.T. (California Institute of Technology) found that cloning its cDNA revealed that Plx 1 is related to the Polo family2 of protein kinases. Cdc25 phosphorylated by Plx1 reacted strongly with MPM-2, a monoclonal antibody ...
- 15545: David and Goliath
- ... he was able to kill Goliath, who had "come up to defy Israel" (1 Samuel 17:25). Although Goliath was a large, experienced fighter with a sword, David, determined to save the Israelites from Goliath's evils. David mentions that Goliath had defied the armies of the living God, and for that he would be punished. David's strength, it seems, dwelled in "the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel" (1 Samuel 17:45). However, Goliath was dependent on the power of weapons, and was sure that a sword and spear would win the battle. It's difficult to say what this meant to the Hebrews, but I interpreted it as symbolizing that the superiority and strength of their Lord was stronger than was any weapon. I gathered this, since one ...
- 15546: Abraham
- Abraham Abraham, also known as Abram is most commonly known for being the Father of the Jewish people. The majority of the information found on Abraham is located in the Old Testament's Book of Genesis. Other than that, there are no real historical records on the life of Abraham, so the history of his life was passed by word of mouth, and were there after made into ... on his life. Abraham is most famous for making his Covenant with God. Abraham would have lived somewhere between the years of 2000 and 1500 BC. He was born in the city of Ur. Abraham's real name was Abram. The father of Abram , Terach, had two other sons , Haran and Nachor. While living in the city of Ur , Abram married his half-sister, Sarai who later took on the name of Sarah. The newlyweds later learned that Sarai was sterile. They then traveled north to Charan, accompanied by Abraham's father Terach. While in Charan Terach died. It was in Charan where God made his first of a series of revelations to Abram. God spoke to Abram, and told him that he would promise ...
- 15547: Hinduism
- ... foundation, source, and goal of all existence. This ultimate reality is called Brahman. As the All, Brahman causes the universe and all beings to emanate from itself, transforms itself into the universe, or assumes it's appearance. Brahman is in all things and is the Self (atman) of all living beings. Brahman is the creator, preserver, or transformer and reabsorber of everything. Although it is Being in itself, without attributes and ... fundamental belief in and the essentially religious search for ultimate reality - that is, the One is the All - have continued almost unaltered for more than 30 centuries and has been the central focus of India's spiritual life. In some perceptions, Hinduism has been called 'atheistic'. In other perceptions, and this is perhaps the more common one, it is labeled 'polytheistic'. The term 'polytheism' acknowledges the presence of a God-figure ... her there, a fifth head was immediately formed". At present times Brahma is not largely worshipped by the Hindus. It is said that the universe will come to an end at the end of Brahma's life, but Brahmas too are innumerable, and a new universe is reborn with each new Brahma. VISHNU is called the second person of the Hindu Trimuriti or Trinity: but though called second, it must ...
- 15548: The Roots of Christianity
- The Roots of Christianity Religion is an impulse to explain. A natural impulse that everyone has and everyone one grapples with. It's an impulse that, sadly and ironically, has been exploited to convince people to take actions that defy and demean that impulse. These exploiters are the ruling elite of nearly every society, in every era. It's not hard to understand the false sense of security and comfort of faith that religion provides. Religious faith, which is a set of rules, is a tool used by the people in power to keep ... both social conditions and through its own ongoing experience of Jesus and God through the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. (See Acts 2) In Christian belief and experience, the experience of Jesus is ongoing. It didn't stop at either his execution, or resurrection, nor ascension, or at the Pentecost event. Christians see Christianity as the fulfillment of Judaism. Jews seek a Messiah; Christians say the Messiah is Jesus. The basis ...
- 15549: Burial Rituals in Judaism
- ... to save a life. A person who is extremely ill, fore example, or a woman in labor, is not permitted to fast on Yom Kippur, because fasting at such a time would endanger the person's life. Doctors are permitted to answer emergency calls on the Sabbath, even though this may violate the day's whole meaning. Abortions, when necessary to save the mother, are mandatory. In Jewish law, the unborn are not yet considered human, thus the mother's life is far more important. Because life is so valuable, we are not permitted to do anything that may hasten death, not even to prevent suffering. Euthanasia, suicide and assisted suicide are strictly forbidden ...
- 15550: A Pregenerative Soul’s Fear of Life
- A Pregenerative Soul’s Fear of Life William Blake’s poem “Book of Thel” conveys the emotions and ideas that Thel experiences during a process of transformation. While there are a number of images which may suggest that the theme of the poem consists of ... other services, she will someday “flourish in eternal vales.” The Cloud expresses a similar opinion when asked about the seeming futility and brevity of its life. The Cloud questions the veracity of both of Thel’s suppositions: “‘O maid, I tell thee, when I pass away, / It is to tenfold life, to love, to peace, and raptures holy’” (ll. 57-58). The Cloud explains to Thel that even in passing, ...
