Contrary to the example of the forests ... zones will be more pronounced in the higher latitudes. In the mid-latitude regions ( 45 - 60 latitude ), the shift is expected to be about 200-300 kilometers for every degree Celsius of warming. Since today's latitudinal climate belts are each optimal for particular crops, such shifts could have a powerful impact on agricultural and livestock production. For example, in the Canadian prairies, the growing season might lengthen by 10 days ...

Here he had his first account with physics - Newtons Third Law of Motion: "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction". Even in High School Physics courses Millikan was not so spirited, which may have had a little to do with his teachers habit of spending the summers using a divining rod to find water.

- ... up calcium and magnesium ions found in natural waters and prevent them from interfering with the cleansing role of the detergent. Eutrophication is the progressive over-fertilization of water, in which festering masses of algae's blooms, choking rivers and lakes. Phosphorus compounds act as a fertilizer for all plant life, whether free-floating algae or more substantial rooted weeds, and are implicated in eutrophication. Many countries control phosphate levels, whereas ... plant growth in wetlands removes phosphates and other plant nutrients washed in from the surrounding soil, consequently restricting the growth of algae and aquatic weeds. This growth is a serious problem in some of Canada's major waterways, where dead and decaying algae deprive the deeper waters of their oxygen. Researches at Lancaster University have studied lakes whose plant and animal life has been killed by acid rain. The excess acid ...
- 28246: Transcendentalism
- ... achieved by human reason. Transcendentalism revolves around the existence of absolute goodness, something beyond description and knowable, ultimately only through intuition. The term Transcendentalism became applied almost exclusively to doctrines of metaphysical idealism.

But despite the disagreement among transcendentalists themselves, the overall movement shared similar philosophies. These philosophies rested on the SLockean concept of Idealism and Kant's belief in intuition. In other workds, transcendentalism opposed empiricism, which is gaining knowledge from experience.

- 28247: Greek Gods And Human Connectio
- ... are very much like humans in the way that they have weaknesses and strengths. Even though the gods display their characteristics much more drastically than humans do, the similarities are obvious. In Rosenberg and Baker s book, the Greek gods have many human characteristics such as vengeance, jealously, and love. An example of a human trait is that the Greek gods and goddess displayed excessive vengeance. Whenever anyone committed a crime ... mine (Rosenberg and Baker 128). The gods were jealous of each other too and competed on things like their children. Hera felt even more embarrassed when Hephaestus, the child she hoped would compete with Athena s excellence, turned out to be lame (Rosenberg and Baker 52). The gods were often jealous when mortals exclude them in their offerings and would not hide their anger. Jealousy was a weakness the Greek gods ...
- 28248: Analytical Chemistry
- ... microprocessor development. Instrumental measurements can sometimes be carried out without separating the constituents of interest from the rest of the sample, but often the instrumental measurement is the final step following separation of the samples's components, frequently by means of one or another type of chromatography. One of the best instrumental method is various types of spectroscopy. All materials absorb or emit electromagnetic radiation to varying extents, depending of their ... involves qualitative and quantitative chemical analysis to identify contaminants and to determine their concentrations. Diagnosing human health problems in a clinical chemistry laboratory is facilitated by quantitative analyses carried out on samples of the patient's blood and other fluids. Modern industrial chemical plants rely heavily on quantitative analyses of raw materials, intermediates, and final products to ensure product quality and provide information for process control. In addition, chemical analyses are ...
- 28249: American Revolutionary War 2

The Townshend Acts also infuriated the Americans, and as in all other ...
- 28250: Alternative Fuels (fuel Cells)
- ... into the production of the Ballard Fuel Cell in an attempt to create stationary electric power plants, and zero-emission vehicles. History of the Fuel Cell: The fuel cell was first developed in the 1960's by General Electric for NASA. It was considered as a definite possibility for an alternative power source for space program, but the cost and size of the fuel cell stacks were tremendous. By 1983, Geoff ... transit bus engines in four phases. In the first phase, which was completed in 1993, Ballard developed and demonstrated a 125 HP fuel cell engine in a 32-foot transit bus. This was the world's first zero-emissions vehicle powered by fuel cells. Over the last six years, it has proven itself to be a reliable, smooth performing vehicle, that could easily be used on a large scale. Phase two ...
