Australopithecus
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 306.... years old. There has also been evidence that the
australopithecus "man" lived in australia where fossils have also been found.
The first discovery of an australopithecus fossil was made in 1924. The body of
the australopithecus is smaller than humans, but biffer than chimpanzees. Also,
The brain size of australopithecus is bigger than humans at about 475 cubic
centimeters. This is also biffer than the chipanzees, but the brains were not
developed in most areas. For example speech. The australopithecus species all
had mostly the same features with a low forehead, a "bony ridge"o .....

Genetic Engineering
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 390.... vaccines against animal diseases such as footrot and pig scours; - pure
human products such as insulin, and human growth hormone in commercial
quantities; - existing antibiotics by more economical methods; - new kinds of
antibiotics not otherwise available; - plants with resistance to some pesticides,
insects and diseases; - plants with improved nutritional qualities to enhance
livestock productivity.
Methods:
- Manipulation of the Gene pool, which is related to Hybridization which is the
breeding of species but the species are not the same but they are related.
- Chai .....

Computer Mediated Evnvironment
Number of pages: 19 | Number of words: 5150.... multi-media computers equipped with CD-ROM drives and modems, subscription-based services such as America Online (AOL), Prodigy, and Compuserve, where consumers are able to check airline flight schedules and make reservations, purchase a wide variety of products, and discuss product performance with other consumers, are becoming very popular. Households in Chicago and San Francisco can purchase groceries from home using computer software marketed by Peapod, Inc. This latter service allows consumers to search within a product category using attributes such as price, calories .....

Melting Pot Theory
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 401.... Ashbury there is a place called China Town. A place placed filled with Chinese Americans, shops and temples that could be easily mistaken for buildings only found in China . In Ohio, one could meet a Caucasian farmer, a African American businessman, an Amish family or even a reporter who has a strong German background all in the same day. So many different people living together in one piece of land. Now, after taking a closer look, no one really melted together to make just one kind of person. But what did they do? One could say that the English man could be symbolized as .....

How Earthquakes Are Caused
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 395.... from the mantle
seeps up between the converging plates. The gap is closed as the plates
move more into each other, locking the molten material in. This, by the way,
happens at all of the convergent boundaries. After much time, pressure
builds up as the molten material churns in its chamber. It gets hotter, and
as we know from the laws of physics, heat rises due to its kinetic energy.
So, as the pressure get to be too much, the molten material goes up.
As you may already know, molten material mostly does not just come
out of a big hole in the ground. It comes out of moun .....

Concept Of Species
Number of pages: 5 | Number of words: 1248.... that the
authors of the BSC worked with. (Mayr is an ornithologist & Dobzhansky has
worked mainly with Drosophila). More importantly Sexual reproduction is
the predominate form of reproduction in these groups. It is not
coincidental that the BSC is less widely used amongst botanists.
Terrestrial plants exhibit much more greater diversity in their mode of
reproduction than vertebrates and insects.
There has been many criticisms of the BSC in its theoretical validity and
practical utility. For example, the application of the BSC to a number of
groups is problematic because .....

Genetic Engineering
Number of pages: 5 | Number of words: 1118.... perfect human does in-fact sound crazy. But if was regulated to prevent such things the new science could bring wonders to many peoples lives.
The first form of began with a man named Mendel, a monk in the late nineteenth century. He was the first to even formulate the concept of the gene from his experiments on pea plants. Since Mendel, other scientists have continued in agricultural engineering, a type of engineering that deals with the cross breeding of plants and cattle to maximize their productivity. Through time geneticists have continued to find better methods and .....

Voltage: Ohm's Law And Kirchhoff's Rules
Number of pages: 4 | Number of words: 879.... is, RTOTAL=R1+R2+ ..... +Rn .
And for resistors connected in parallel, 1/RTOTAL==1/R1+1/R2+ ..... +1/Rn .
Complex dc circuit involving a combination of parallel and series resistors can
be analyzed to find the current and voltage at each point of the circuit using 2
basic rules formulated by Kirchhoff. 1) The algebraic sum of current at any
branch point in a circuit is zero. 2) The algebraic sum of potential difference,
V, around any closed loop in a circuit is zero. These rules and equations
provided by the Ohm's law and the Kirchhoff rule can be experimentally te .....
