- 25291: The Metric System
- ... because it would make all measurements universal and understandable. I think that the United States of America will someday switch to the metric way of measuring. There is only one thing that I really don’t like about the metric system and that is that a meter stick is like a ruler and it is most commonly used. I don’t want to use something big like that and I like my ruler. There is one thing that I think will never change here in the United States and that is the plumbing system. If this ... that would cost money. Although I think that the metric system is a more advanced way of measuring I also think that the United States will never change from our standard system. Also I don’t think that it is a big deal I don’t feel that a whole lot of people would want to change because it means something that they have to learn and people are to ...

- ... how to keep the space craft fueled. A consideration has been to drop off fuel deposits on Mars for the trip home. But there are still many questions left open. The most recent of NASA’s plan, is this... They’ll use 3 different space ships: A habitat lander, a cargo lander, and a crew transport vehicle. The CTV carries them to the habitat lander. They land on Mars, and do ... the ThinkMars plan. Students at MIT and Harvard are setting up a for-profit corporation which they contract out various tasks to small businesses and corporations for NASA research centers. The US and other govt.’s help out by buying certain rights to the space craft, while the corporation will sell certain media rights and other promotional opportunities making up for the cost difference. Now that we have realized that a ... how to keep the space craft fueled. A consideration has been to drop off fuel deposits on Mars for the trip home. But there are still many questions left open.

- 25293: The Big Bang and Steady State Models
- ... above absolute zero. In the future, the universe may end up in two possible situations. From the initial Big Bang, the universe attained a speed of expansion. If that speed is greater than the universe's own escape velocity, then the universe will not stop its expansion. Such a universe is said to be open. If the velocity of expansion is slower than the escape velocity, the universe will eventually reach ... Inc., 1987. p. 128. 2. Ibid., p. 130. 3. Joseph Silk, The Big Bang, New York: W.H.

- 25294: Coral Fish
- ... males. The terminal male is the one with the brightest colors and gaudiest patterns. The moon seems to play an important role in fish reproduction. According to Peter H. Pressley, it appears that the moon/s light may be as important as its gravitational pull. "Some fishes may use periods of maximum moonlight for effective nest guarding during the week or so it takes for many demersal eggs to incubate. Since the larvae of many dermersal-spawning species are light sensitive, bright moonlight may help to orient them towards the water's shallows after nighttime hatching." (P 96) Regional weather patterns such as monsoons, periods of high wind velocity, and major current shifts affect procreation. "Extreme weather and fierce currents make it difficult for young fishes ready ... adult harlequin live together. At spawning peaks each member of a pair alternates in spawning as a male and a female. "The sequence begins when one fish, playing the female, displays its body in an 'S' shape with its exposed belly turned to the other fish. If so inclined, the invited partner approaches and the two proceed with a spawning rush. Often a role reversal takes place soon afterwards. With ...
- 25295: Cheating
- ... you in the long run. When you cheat on a homework assignment, quiz, or test, you are only cheating yourself. You should be honorable enough to take a bad grade and admit that you don't know everything. When you cheat in school, you are just getting by, you aren't actually learning. Later in life, this can really hurt you. When you grow up and have a job, there will be no one to copy. None of the good employers will want you if you can't do good work -- and that means undesirable, dead-end, jobs like flipping burgers. Cheating is also dishonest and dishonorable to yourself and other people. It will cause you to lose your self respect and ...
- 25296: Biological And Chemical Weapons
- ... The use of chemical weapons by Iraq and Libya in 1988 reinforces the danger that these weapons will spread (Cass 1996). Not only are these weapons cheap, but they are very effective. Defense Secretary William S. Cohen held up a five-pound bag of sugar on national television last month to show how, with an equivalent amount of anthrax, Iraq could eliminate at least half the population of Washington. The US ... then progressed rapidly into fever and shortness of breath. What is especially peculiar about this epidemic is that all the patients who have sought medical attention attended the Orange Bowl football game on New Year's Day.

- ... building the framework of most homes. It has been accepted for years that to get the timber we need to cut down the forests, most of us lead our daily lives not knowing the implication's that deforestation can have on the environment and society. In this eassy I will point out these implication and the causes and disadvantages of deforestation and prove that it is wrong to cut down forests ... we require more space to expand cites and build more houses. To do this world government cut down any forests in their way. Ø Industrial \ commercial purposes Big industries also contribute to deforestation. EG "Macdonald's uses 800 square miles of trees just for the paper packaging of their products". That is an appalling amount of trees that are used just for burger wrappers. A conservation group has found that 11 ... need to chop down the trees in the forest that lie directly in their land or just land they want. These farmers often use a method called "Slash and Burn deforestation". This is what it's name suggests the slashing (logging) of trees, these trees are then burnt and the ash is retained for fertiliser. Forest's chopped down just for cattle grazing number 15,000 square kilometres. These statistics ...

- 25299: Surface Tension
- ... surface tension may be thought of as approximately equilivant to the work or energy required to remove the surface layer of molecules in a unit area. In comparison, organic liquids, such as benzene and alcohol's, have lower surface tensions, whereas mercury has a higher surface tension . An increase in temperature lowers the net force of attraction among molecules and hence decreases surface tension. Surface tension is also viewed as the ... surface and tending to minimize its area. On this basis. surface tension is often expressed as amount of force exerted in the surface perpendicular to a line of unit length. The unit then is Newton's per metre, which is equivalent to joules per square metre. Surface tension is important at zero gravity, as in space flight: Liquids cannot be stored in open containers because they run up the vessel walls ... atomic particles. In many organic compounds, which form molecular crystals, for example, the atoms are bound strongly into molecules, but the molecules are bound weakly to each other.

- 25300: Constructive Criticism
- ... sharing of ideas between thousands of individuals, with different perspectives, each day. Topics range from romance to science fiction and beyond, yet on any given topic there is never a universally accepted constant. Every individual's views on what is romantic or what is realistic in science fiction are different. Usenet groups are an excellent example of criticism in many forms, as they possess a huge amalgamation of opinions derived from perspectives from many different countries. Frequently, a person's tone is misunderstood, which results in a misinterpretation of his meaning. It is important, when giving and receiving constructive criticism, to maintain a positive atmosphere to increase chances of collaborative results that yield favorable change ... room. It is more likely that the student would have proceeded to practice his math concepts had the teacher used a more subtle approach. Constructive criticism is everywhere. The previous example, which analyzed an individual's actions, was basically constructive criticism in itself. Making a conscious decision to positively acknowledge and utilize constructive criticism for our benefit as a individual will unquestionably further today's current society as a whole. ...
