- ... bases his dilemma mainly on the Thai crisis that hastened the currency meltdown in Asia. Also the Russian collapse inflicted temporary chaos on the Western financial system, and most recently, the volatility of the world’s stock markets has caused most investors much tremor.

- 26172: Tropical Africa: Food Production and the Inquiry Model
- ... on the other hand, the rainfall leaches them. The combined heat and moisture tend to produce very deep soils because the surface rock is rapidly broken down by chemical weathering. All this causes the food's rate of growth to slow down or maybe even stop and as a result food production won't even come close in catching up to the rate of population increase; therefore starvation and hunger is present. In the process of a flood and drought, the roots of trees are shallow and virtually no ...
- 26173: US Border Patrol: Pros & Cons
- US Border Patrol: Pros & Cons The U.S. Border Patrol is the organization that polices the entry of illegal immigrants into our country. The official mission of the United States Border patrol is to protect the boundaries of the United States by preventing ... borders and at least 25 miles off the border. The Border Patrol agents are responsible to check factories for illegal workers. As of September of 1995, the Border Patrol had 530 agents. The Border Patrol's efforts may be sufficient but many people believe that there are many problems in the methods of the Border Patrol. First, many people think that all of the equipment is costing the taxpayers too much ... used to be ineffective, but now due to many improvements in federal money, manpower, and technology the Border Patrol is very effective. They say that the reason for all the illegal immigrants in the U.S. is due to when the Border Patrol was not as effective as it could or should be. From the start of the Clinton administration, a $500 million crackdown on illegal immigration was put into ...
- 26174: The Springtime Quest: Filing an Income Tax Return
- ... mountains of paperwork, dig out the "important papers" file, and spend hours deciphering government jargon that is worded in such a way that anyone with a high school education could understand it, at least that's what they claim. So, with nervous energy, I rise to the occasion and seek to conquer the annual quest and put the beast to rest for another year. My first stop on the quest is ... least amount of loss is signed and stuck in the mail. I realize that income tax supports many worthwhile programs and I enjoy many of the benefits that are funded by taxes. But, I can't help but think that the government, in their effort to cover all the angles, developed a tax filing system that is intimidating and cumbersome. There must be a better way. My solution to the problem ...
- 26175: Rutherford
- ... He began work at Cambridge in 1895 and was a professor at the University of Manchester from 1907 on. It is during this time period that Rutherford made his most important discoveries. Most of Rutherford's work was centered on radioactivity. He is the one who named the alpha and beta particles. In 1911, Rutherford conducted his famous "gold foil" experiment. He directed alpha particles at a thin sheet of gold ... straight through the foil, some of them were deflected at large angles. Rutherford concluded that the deflections of the alpha particles were caused by a center of positive charge that contained most of the atom's mass (the nucleus). He also explained that the particles that went straight through the foil did so because the atom is mostly empty space and that the distance between electrons and the nucleus is vast ... Using this method, he measured the number of alpha particles expelled per second from one gram of radium to be 34000. Before Rutherford, the smallest particle of matter was represented as a solid ball. Rutherford's experiments with the decay of radioactive elements caused him to think in terms of a more definite structure. He observed that the disintegration of elements was accompanied by emissions of positive helium and of ...
- 26176: The Element: Chlorine
- ... as a greenish-yellow gas at normal temperatures and pressures. Chlorine is second in reactivity only to fluorine among the halogen elements. Chlorine is a nonmetal. It is estimated that 0.045% of the earth’s crust and 1.9% of sea water are chlorine. Chlorine combines with metals and nonmetals and organic materials to form hundreds of chlorine compounds. Chlorine is about 2.5 times as dense as air and ... the United States. The importance of chlorine has changed as new uses have been added. In 1925 paper and pulp used over one- half . The chlorine made and chemical products only 10%. By the 1960’s paper and pulp use accounted for only 15-17% and the chemical uses increased to 75-80%. Peoples uses have contributed to the growth of large cities, and new textiles, plastics, paints, and miscellaneous uses have raised man’s standard of living. Many large companies are based primarily on the manufacture of chlorine and its compounds. In 1978 17% of the United States production went into the production of vinyl chloride monomer. Other ...
- 26177: Cells
- ... have remained so small. One is simply, shorter is faster. This is true as far as diffusion is concerned and also in terms of chemical and electrical movement. By minimizing the distance between a cell’s nucleus and the numerous proteins and organelles that is always regulated by the cell, a cell recives the maximum speed in which intercellular communications will take place while providing the ideal conditions for diffusion: Movement ... concentration to a region of lower concentration, a vital function in the life of a cell. Like wise, the surface area and volume of a cell are directly influential in the efficiency of the cell’s nutrient absorption and waste expulsion processes. Since the cell membrane of an eukaryotic cell is its only source of nutrition, its surface area must be large enough to allow the cell’s organelles to receive the material it needs or it will die. The eukaryotic cell does this by maximizing the surface area to volume ratio. By using the surface area and volume equations for a ...
- 26178: Gun Control and Freedom
- ... to say that the citizens of America are essentially apathetic when it comes to violence in our country. Especially with the amount of juvenile violence that has been on the rise ever since the 80's, legislators must take stronger action than ever before to show that these crimes simply cannot be committed with impunity. Whether this requires tougher sentences for juveniles or simply better education, the fact remains that guns ... a part of American culture. If ever the problem is resolved, it must come through a changed collective consciousness of the American people. This change can only occur through mass education; one cannot legislate people's minds, only educate. Instead of passing gun control laws or instituting new waiting periods for gun sales, the government should concentrate on funding education for the youth about the effects of violence. The children of ... We must educate children to understand the real consequences of gun violence. We must make children understand that a bullet hole truly does pierce the flesh. It causes heartbeats to cease. It drowns a person's breathing. We must instill a sense of the worth, the preciousness of life, in our children. This evolution achieved through education is a slow one because it can only become effective through social change. ...

- ... and communities; Its’ core is the idea of participatory decision making at the school site; its main stated objective is to enhance student achievement; it reverses a trend, evident at least since the mid - 1960's, to try to improve school performance through general-purpose infrastructures of public policy - regulation, mandate, enforcement, and legal action; all decisions of educational consequence are to be made at the school and none may be ... being, the face of it will change constantly based on its formation, role and activities, and resources. Its success also depends on the degree of cooperation it receives from local community. For example, a school’s success in 1999 does not necessarily guarantee its success in 1920. Similarly, failure of a school this year does not mean that it will continue to fail. My observation is that we expect the following ...

- 26180: Television Vs Movies
- ... there was television and motion pictures (movies), people used to spend their leisure time listening to the radio. They were offered little variety and often routinely listened to the same things. In the late 1800’s and early 1900’s, motion pictures and television were invented, respectively.
