Gold And Its Uses.
Number of pages: 10 | Number of words: 2573.... is also unparalleled. It can be shaped or extended into extraordinarily thin sheets. For example, one ounce of gold can be hammered into a 100 square foot sheet.
Gold is the most reflective and least absorptive material of infrared (or heat) energy. High purity gold reflects up to 99% of infrared rays. Gold is also an excellent conductor of thermal energy or heat. Since many electronic processes create heat, gold is necessary to transfer heat away from delicate instruments. Gold alloy is the most tenacious and long-performing material available for protection of these tempera .....

Bullfrogs Hearing Capacity
Number of pages: 4 | Number of words: 988.... one that they were removed from. Hopefully, the frogs will adapted to the new habitat and carry on as they did in their old habitat. Tampered bullfrogs such as those raised in labs or pets would not be used because the results would be inaccurate. The inaccuracy would be that these "tampered frogs" have been out of the wild for so long that they would not have the same range of frequency as those in the wild. I would first like to do this experiment on the male bullfrogs because of their deeper croaks, observe the data and then possibly repeat the experiment on the female .....

Tsunamis
Number of pages: 12 | Number of words: 3181.... ocean wave generated by tectonic displacements such as undersea earthquakes, landslides, cosmic collisions, or volcanic eruptions. There is a common misconception that a tsunami is a tidal wave. Although the impact of a tsunami on a coastline may change depending upon the tidal level at the time when one occurs, tsunami waves are unrelated to tides. Instead, tides are the product of imbalanced gravitational forces coming from the planets, the Sun, and most of all, the Moon. In the open, the water level may rise and fall several feet as a tsunami passes by. However, tsunam .....

Influence Of Influenza
Number of pages: 4 | Number of words: 926.... of Pneumonia influenza, Rhinovirus, Parainfluenza, Corona and respitory synctial viruses. This also eliminated the disease obviously effecting the respitory tract and the child's neurology (lethargy and malaise) form being bacterial or fungal, which is common amongst young children.
A number of viruses cause respitory illness similar to the common cold, but are much more severe in intensity and wit frequently serious, and even fatal, complications. The best known of the group is Influenza (flu) virus. It can cause mild symptoms that are indistinguishable from those of .....

David Levinson: Seasons' Of A Man's Life
Number of pages: 16 | Number of words: 4195.... and major
events or turning points in their lives.
Levinson's concept of life structure (the men's socio-cultural world,
their participation in their world and various aspects of themselves) is the
major component in Levinson's theory. The life structure for each person
evolves through the developmental stages as people's age.
Two key concepts in Levinson's model are the stable period and the
transitional period in a person's development. The stable period is the time
when a person makes crucial choices in life, builds a life structure around the
choices .....

Chance Or Planning
Number of pages: 5 | Number of words: 1159.... that we
continue to survive, and that we will eventually die. Some people feel that
this cycle occurs do to the will of God, others, like Charles Darwin believe
that it happens based on chance or natural selection. Whatever you believe or
disbelieve, life cannot be planned. No matter how hard a person attempts to
"plan" their path in life, it is by chance and luck where that path takes us.
Darwin's career was also based on chance, not planning. Darwin never planned to
become a scientist or the father of natural selection. It was by pure chance
that he obtained the jo .....

The Monkey
Number of pages: 3 | Number of words: 736.... and feet are prehensile, with, typically, five digits on each, the
first (thumb and big toe) being divergent from the others. Commonly, the
digits have flattened nails, but those of the marmoset are an exception.
Except for the night-roaming durukuli of tropical America, monkeys are
active during the day, moving frequently in bands in search of vegetation,
birds' eggs, smaller animals, or insects to eat. Monkeys are highly social
animals and are often organized in clans headed by an old male; these clans
are rigidly defined in such species as howlers and baboons.
As in a .....

Genetic Engineering And DNA Technology In Agricultural Productivity
Number of pages: 3 | Number of words: 758.... or not they will be useful in breeding. DNA fingerprinting also makes it easier to ensure that organisms are homozygous for certain, desirable traits, rather than relying on just the phenotypes which may actually prove to be heterozygous and can, therefore, pass on the traits which were intended to be removed.
Even the knowledge of a single gene can have a major impact. Just by locating a single pathogen-resistant trait or adding or deleting a single gene can vastly improve the overall quality and value of an organism.
One extremely important aspect of DNA technology is what .....
