Carbon Dioxide Poisoning
Number of pages: 5 | Number of words: 1104.... heater (Marable 97). Unlike a fire where you can immediately see smoke and flames, carbon monoxide poisoning gives no physical evidence of its presence. But, when taught to see and look for the warning signs of carbon monoxide, deaths in the home due to carbon monoxide poisoning can be prevented.
Sometimes, in a home the hot water supply is low, or the furnace fails to keep the house warm. A natural reaction in any of these situations would be to turn up the tempeture on both appliances. But, did you know that a low supply of hot water, and a furnace that does not keep .....

The Beginning Of The Universe
Number of pages: 5 | Number of words: 1285.... observed.
The Steady State model says that the universe does not evolve or
change in time. There was no beginning in the past, nor will there be
change in the future. This model assumes the perfect cosmological
principle. This principle says that the universe is the same everywhere on
the large scale, at all times.2 It maintains the same average density of
matter forever.
There are observational evidences found that can prove the Big Bang
model is more reasonable than the Steady State model. First, the redshifts
of distant galaxies. Redshift is a Doppler effect w .....

Photochemical Smog
Number of pages: 7 | Number of words: 1695.... fuels
like gasoline can create another atmospheric pollution problem known as
photochemical smog. Photochemical smog is a condition that develops when primary
pollutants (oxides of nitrogen and volatile organic compounds created from
fossil fuel combustion) interact under the influence of sunlight to produce a
mixture of hundreds of different and hazardous chemicals known as secondary
pollutants. Development of photochemical smog is typically associated with
specific climatic conditions and centers of high population density. Cities
like Los Angeles, New York, Sydney, and Van .....

Stratospheric Observatory For Infrared Astronomy
Number of pages: 1 | Number of words: 178.... installation of different focal plane
instruments, with in-flight accessibility, provided by investigators selected
from the international science community. The Observatory objective is to have
an operational lifetime in excess of 20 years.
The SOFIA project is in the early full-scale stage. The start of detailed system
design is anticipated in the Fall of 1996. The German Space Agency (DARA) is a
partner with NASA in the SOFIA project. DARA will provide the telescope and NASA
will provide the rest of the facility including the 747 aircraft, aircraft
modifications, on- .....

Indicactor Lab
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 430.... was about 11.5. The substance was clear and had a strong odor to it. These results led me to my conclusion that substance C is ammonia.
Test-tube D: Test-tube D contained lemonade. The substance reacted to blue litmus paper, and red litmus underwent no changes. It had no effect on Phenolphthalein, and its pH value was 3, a strong acid. Knowing that lemons are very acidic, and that the substance was yellow and sweet smelling, I concluded that substance D was lemonade.
Test-tube E: I could not come to a conclusion on what substance E was. It reacted weakly to blue litmus p .....

Silicon
Number of pages: 6 | Number of words: 1438.... detection and
lenses, light-emitting diodes (LED), photosensors, strain gages, solar cells,
charge transfer devices, radiation detectors and a variety of other devices.
Silicon belongs to the group IV in the periodic table. It is a grey brittle
material with a diamond cubic structure. Silicon is conventionally doped with
Phosphorus, Arsenic and Antimony and Boron, Aluminum, and Gallium acceptors.
The energy gap of silicon is 1.1 eV. This value permits the operation of
silicon semiconductors devices at higher temperatures than germanium.
Now I will give you some brief h .....

Mars 2
Number of pages: 4 | Number of words: 1038.... is strewn with ancient craters of all sizes and is also elevated by a several kilometers creating a visible boundary. On the opposite end the northern hemisphere consists of a wider variety of geological features, but is obviously smoother and much younger. There are large volcanoes, a great rift valley, and a variety of channels.
Volcanism is a geological process that occurs on Earth today, and has on many planetary bodies throughout the history of the solar system. No volcanism is occurring on the surface of Mars today. In the past, however, volcanism was one of the .....

Evolutionism
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 323.... has greatly increased.
Charles Darwin was one scientist who helped to increase the evidence supporting
evolution. Darwin developed the idea of “natural selection” where living things that reproduced
in large numbers and survived became dominant and other living things adapted to survive, or
they died. Francis Crick, a scientist, co-discovered DNA which opened new doors to the idea of
evolutionism (History). DNA is the pattern by which people are created as individuals. Now
Evolutionism is the only origin of life that can be taught in public schools. However, i .....
