.... "Fiber optics allow huge amounts of voice, data and video imagery to be transmitted instantaneously, allowing for photographic-quality images, interactive video conferencing and other business multimedia uses" (Inman News Features 1). It's becoming possible to transmit audio, video and data signals over great distances using these fibers of pure glass or plastic. Today, fiber optic technology has almost become a necessity in everyday business. Because fiber optics can simultaneously transmit two audio signals across a single fiber optics cable without interfering with .....

.... nuclear energy through the fission, or splitting, of heavy atomic nuclei. The first atomic bomb was tested by the United States near Alamogordo, New Mexico. In the final stages of World War II, the U.S. dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and on Nagasaki three days later to force Japan to surrender. The explosion produces great amounts of heat, a shock wave, and intense neutron and gamma radiation. The region of the explosion becomes radioactively contaminated, and wind-borne radioactive products may be deposited elsewhere. The hydrogen bombs an explosive weapon of .....

.... and strong, providing the force needed for movement. The muscle contractions produce and provide some heat needed in the body. Skeletal muscle tissue is made up of smaller fibers called myofibrils. These myofibrils are composed of even smaller protein filaments. These filaments can be either thick or thin. The thick filaments are made of the protein myosin, and the thin filaments are made of the protein actin. The arrangement of the myosin and actin gives skeletal muscle its striated (or striped) appearance. Each section of a myofibril is called a sarcomere, and is the func .....

.... gas clouds bind together due to attractive forces and form a hot core, combined from all the energy of the two gas clouds. This energy produced is so great when it first collides, that a nuclear reaction occurs and the gases within the star start to burn continuously. The Hydrogen gas is usually the first type of gas consumed in a star and then other gas elements such as Carbon, Oxygen, and Helium are consumed. This chain reaction fuels the star for millions or billions of years depending upon the amount of gases there are. The star manages to avoid collaps .....

.... their entire line of CPU's until the K6. These problems hurt AMD because nobody wanted a CPU that could not run 15% of the programs out. People wanted a processor that had programs optimized specifically for it, people wanted a computer with a sticker that said "Intel Inside" because they knew every program would run on it. If people wanted a cheap solution then they went with the low-cost AMD CPU and faced incompatibility problems with a lot of programs. But most people were willing to spend the money to get the genuine Intel processor and this is a major reason AMD beca .....

.... important discovery about flustra, which is "1. That the ova of the Flustra possess organs of motion and 2. That the small black globular body hithero mistaken for the young Fucus lorious is in reality the ovum of the Pontobdella Muricata." (Rachels,7). In the early 1800's, a group of naturalists led by Captain FitzRoy, were planning an overseas trip, which they called the Voyage of the Beagle. They invited Darwin along, not as a naturalist, but as a helper. Through this trip, Darwin met many explorers that had their own theories about evolution. The first theory, which is .....

.... of mucous membranes during kissing. This is where the common nickname was derived "the kissing disease". In rare cases this disease may be transmitted through blood transfusions. The disease is usually transmitted to family members, friends and people that you may go to school with, rather then people that live in the same community. People often come in contact with the disease or EBV bacteria at least once in there life. Although symptoms are incredibly mild or they are not present at all. When the disease is present in a persons blood stream it is only contagio .....

.... limited to the Gìr Sanctuary in India. also roam Africa south of the Sahara, particularly the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania and the Kruger National Park in South Africa. This drastic reduction in range came about as humans and domestic livestock spread into savanna lands. Because live in open areas, they are easily shot by hunters and herders. fur coats are a highly prized possession by poachers, and are worth a lot. Over the last 200 years, over 90% of the world’s lion population has either been shot or killed as result of humans. are also a very popular attrac .....
