- 26951: The Origin of Life on Earth
- ... of life. There are many theories ranging from being carved out of trees to a wave of an unseen hand. The champions for all of the sides are religious leaders, learned scientists, or imaginative wacko’s. All of these varied ideas give cause for libraries of; books, articles, videos, and newsletters, each as compelling as the last. Though there was an experiment that buttressed the scientist argument, the experiment was conducted ... not achieved was there was no replicating organic molecules created in any of the experiments. It is this reproducing characteristic that scientist are looking for to make the next step in the presumption that life’s progenitor was the oceans. Without that bit of evidence the, formation of all the lipids, sugars, and nucleotides are just that, the formation of lipids, sugars, and nucleotides. Notably the amino acids that were formed ... as we know it. Or it could just be that under many condition that these complex compounds are just naturally abundant and it is the will of a great wisdom that founded life in It’s image using one of the most efficient methods of making life more lively and multiliplicitous. The origins of life on this planet should still be a mystery for everybody, because the majority of research ...

Also, it has damaged 34 percent of West Germany's forests. In the united states it has contaminated the Ohio rive valleys and may other mid Atlantic states, but they are seeing a large decrease in the acidity in their precipitation. The whole process of ... place very quickly. Therefore, the making of So3 in the damp atmosphere is assumed to be the lead to the formation of sulfuric acid. Phase two: the aqueous phase, sulfur dioxide occurs as three species.

- 26953: Tsunamis
- ... an undersea earthquake is also called seismic sea wave. When the sea floor abruptly deforms and vertically displaces the overlying water a tsunami can be generated. These tectonic earthquakes are particularly related to the earths¹s crustal deformation. When they occur, the water above the deformed area is displaced from its equilibrium position. Consequently, as the displaced water mass tries to return to its original position, waves are created. Larger versions ... produced by a tsunami but they can also help to increase its height as well. Seiches may last for days once they have been set in motion. The height and intensity of a tsunami wave¹s impact on the shoreline may be significantly reduced if an extensively-developed coral reef exists close to shoreline. It does this by absorbing some of then energy that the wave possesses thus reducing the entire ... of tsunami. Seismographs all over the world are able to record within minutes, the occurrence of an earthquake. These stations predict the size of an earthquake, but also the epicenter (the position of the earth¹s surface directly over the origin of the earthquake) when its combined with reports from other stations. If an earthquake with magnitude of 6.5 on the Richter scale or greater does take place in ...

- ... differences are related to the way apes feed. Chimpanzees eat a wide variety of foods, including fruit, leaves, honey, and insects, and they sometimes hunt and eat other mammals. During the course of a day's foraging, they may travel nearly 18 km (11 mi). By banding together they improve their chances of finding food and also of spotting danger. Gorillas, on the other hand, are vegetarians, eating leaves, plant stems ... time. A gibbon is weaned by the age of about 2 years, while chimps take more than 4 years. Like young monkeys, young apes are carried by their mothers. They either cling to the mother's belly or, in the case of older chimps, ride on her back. In great apes, infant care is largely the job of the females, while in some gibbons the mother hands over responsibility to the father when the infant gibbon's first year is complete. V. Endangered Apes Like nearly all rain forest animals, ape populations have been harmed by deforestation. Some also face additional threats. Most vulnerable of all is the mountain gorilla, which ...

- ... of April 1995).The subjects were 63 healthy adults and 56 malaria identified children from an out patient clinic Their test was based on the fact that experimental models of malaria have shown that Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes which kill parasite infected hepatocytes can provide complete protective immunity from certain species of plasmodium in mice. From the tests they carried out in the Gambia they have provided, what they see to be indirect evidence that cytotoxic T lymphocytes play a role against P falciparium in humans Using a human leucocyte antigen based approach termed reversed immunogenetics they previously identified peptide epitopes for CTL in liver stage antigen-1 and the circumsporozoite protein ... to try and create synthetic peptides raised much interest. At the time peptides were thought capable of stimulating only one part of the immune system; the antibody producing B cells whereas the prevailing wisdom required T cells as well in order to achieve protective immunity. Sceptics also pounced on the elaborate and painstaking process of elimination Patarroyo used to find the right peptides. He took 22 "immunologically interesting" proteins from ...

- ... potassium states. Therefore, the body has no mechanism to prevent excessive loss of potassium (Schmidt-Nielsen, 1995). Potassium plays a critical role in maintaining the normal cellular and muscular function. Any imbalance of the body's potassium level, increased or decreased, may result in neuromuscular dysfunction, especially in the heart muscle. Serious, and sometimes fatal, arrythmias may develop. A low serum potassium level, hypokalemia, occurs with major fluid loss in gastrointestinal disorders (i.e., vomiting, diarrhea), renal disease, diuretic therapy, diabetes mellitus, or mineralocorticoid dysfunction (i.e., Cushing's disease). An increased serum potassium level, hyperkalemia, occurs most often in urinary obstruction, anuria, or acute renal disease (Bistner, 1995). Sodium and its related anions (i.e., chloride and bicarbonate) are primarily responsible for the ... a faster diagnosis and recovery for the patient. Bibliography Barrie, Joan and Timothy D. G.

- 26960: Smoking Banana Peels
- ... instructions and it became a craze and even TIME and NEWSWEEK wrote about it. Someone I know says he smoked banana peels once but he was "tripping" on mushrooms at the time so he didn't know if it made him high or not. A friend of mine tried smoking banana peels recently and he sasys it only gave him a little bit of a headache.
