Pollution In Eastern Europe
Number of pages: 10 | Number of words: 2530.... out at this time that the pollution that is discussed here is only related to pollution that directly harms people and the environment they live in, not pollution like carbon dioxide or greenhouse gases or other factors concerned with the global warming issue.
The causes of environmental problems and the actual problems that were caused are the first subject that must be explored. Air pollution is by far the most serious pollution problem is eastern Europe. In general, the problem was caused by the burning of coal in industry and lead-based diesel non-desulferized petrol i .....

The Laser
Number of pages: 4 | Number of words: 981.... same length, and the
crests of these waves are all lined up, or in PHASE. The word Laser is an
acronym for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. What does
that mean? Basically a laser is a device which produces and then amplifies light
waves and concentrates them into an intense penetrating beam.
The principles of the laser (and it's cousin the maser) were established
long before these devices were successfully developed. In 1916 Albert Einstein
proposed stimulated emission, and other fundamental ideas were discussed by V.A.
Fabrikant in 1940. These id .....

Experiment To See If Soaking A Golf Ball Affects Its Distance
Number of pages: 6 | Number of words: 1434.... it got wet. Then it would split open. The
Gutta percha was introduced in 1850 and was made of a rubberlike sap from
the Malaysian sapdilla tree. The material was heated to soften it and then
hand-formed into a solid, one piece ball.Gutta percha was black, so the
early balls were painted white. Easier to make, less expensive, and more
durable, the gutta revolutionized golf. When golfers discovered that balls
and nicks flew longer and straighter then new ones, manufactures began to
give them a textured, even pattern surface. The most popular early pattern
was the brambl .....

Computer Education
Number of pages: 1 | Number of words: 271.... began in the middle of the 1950s with an organized body of knowledge. Also Japanese the teaching of computer science has been developed in the same period. During 1955 to 1959, some universities developed their own computers. They organized short courses.
Computer technology comes from the U.S. to Japan. Usually a technology is developed in the U.S.. After that, it comes to Japan so Japanese is late at all and most manuals are written in English so it is easy to lean computer for people who speak English; however, most Japanese people who live in Japan cannot understand Engl .....

The Great Imposters
Number of pages: 6 | Number of words: 1454.... others. So clever are their disguises that you've probably
never known you were being fooled by spiders impersonating ants, squirrels
that look like shrews, worms copying sea anemones, and roaches imitating
ladybugs. There are even animals that look like themselves, which can also
be a form of impersonation. The phenomenon of mimicry, as it's called
by biologists, was first noted in the mid-1800s by an English naturalist,
Henry W. Bates. Watching butterflies in the forests of Brazil, Bates
discovered that many members of the Peridae butterfly family did not look
anything l .....

Microbursts
Number of pages: 5 | Number of words: 1333.... there are two
types of down drafts that are particularly hazardous to flight operations
because of there severity and small size. Professor T. Fulita, an
atmospheric scientist from the University of Chicago, coined the term
downburst for a concentrated, sever downdraft that induces an outward burst
of damaging winds at the ground. He also introduced the term microburst for
a downburst with horizontal dimensions of 4km or less (Lester 11-4).
Microbursts form by the same process that produce the more common and less
intense down drafts; that is, by precipitation drag and .....

Addition Of Vectors

The center ring was anchored to the nail positioned at the platform’s center while the upper ring of the spring scale was attached to the free end of the third ring. After attaching the spring balance, its hook was pulled and the reading on the scale and the direction of the pull at which the two forces (hanging mass) are “balanced.” “Balance” was determined.

Man Vs. The Environment

Once estab-lished the settlers needed more room for farms and bigger cities so again they pushed into the forest causing the Na-tive Americans and the wildlife to withdraw further into interior of the continent.
Let us move forward a hundred or so years in history the settling of the American Great Plains. One of the big-gest violations of the environment was taking place, the buffalo hunters, and the extermination of the Native Ameri-cans and their culture. The Great Plains, before the arri-val of the buffalo hunter .....
