Cloning
Number of pages: 7 | Number of words: 1846.... accomplished with mammals (Lawren). Another way to make a
clone, as they do in the cattle buisness, is to split the cells of a early
multi-celled embryo which will form two new embryos (Lawren).
For it to get started into practice it took more than fifty years of
questioning and testing. The first successful cloning experiment involved a
leopard frog. It took place in, 1952 with group of scientist from the
Institute for Cancer Research in Philadelphia (Lawren). To clone the frog they
used an embryonic frog cell nucleus(Margery). 1962, John Gurdon of Cambridge
University .....

Uranium: Nuclear Friend Or Nuclear Foe
Number of pages: 10 | Number of words: 2697.... after entering the mines.
It was two german doctors, Harting and Hesse, who brought this to
the public. The doctors found that 75 percent of the miner deaths were due
to lung cancer. But with their scientific knowledge the doctors could only
assume that the deaths were caused by the inhalation of arsenic. Later
studies between 1900 and 1940 found that the deaths were caused by
radiation in the mines.
The radiation the miners were exposed to would later be identified
as uranium. Uranium is a natural occurring element, it has a atomic count
of 92. Uranium is easily identified .....

Oxygen
Number of pages: 10 | Number of words: 2741.... play a key role in many of the important processes of life and industry. in the biosphere is essential in the processes of respiration and metabolism, the means by which animals derive the energy needed to sustain life. Furthermore, is the most abundant element at the surface of the Earth. In combined form it is found in ores, earth’s, rocks, and gemstones, as well as in all living organisms.
is a gaseous chemical element in Group VA of the periodic table. The chemical symbol for atomic is O, its atomic number is 8, and its atomic weight is 15.9994. Elemental is know .....

Memory
Number of pages: 4 | Number of words: 1045.... long-term memory. Sensory memory
is the shortest and less extensive of the others. It can hold memory for only an
instance (Memory p. 32). Suppose you see a tree , the image of the tree is
briefly held by the sensory memory and quickly disappears unless you transfer it
to your short-term memory (Rhodes p. 130). The next level is called short-term
memory. The image or fact can be held as long as the brain is actively thinking
about it (Loftus p. 392). For example , if you look up a number in the phone
book and repeat it to yourself until you dial it , that is a form of short-te .....

The Greenhouse Effect
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 424.... and similar objects. Like carbon dioxide,
the CFCs are trapping more heat in the earth's atmosphere. CFCs have also
been blamed for ozone depletion. CFCs are suspected of breaking down ozone
particles that shield us from the sun's ultraviolet rays. Too many
ultraviolet rays can cause cataracts and skin cancer. A hole in the ozone
has been discovered over Antarctic the size of the United States. The hole
is actually where the ozone has been depleted or thinned by the CFCs. The
use of aerosol cans accounts for most of the release of CFCs. This
resulted in the Unit .....

Nuclear Power
Number of pages: 7 | Number of words: 1803.... storing radioactive wastes is by a process
called 'vitrification'.
Vitrification is a semi-continuous process that enables the
following operations to be carried out with the same equipment:
evaporation of the waste solution mixed with the additives necesary for
the production of borosilicate glass, calcination and elaboration of the
glass. These operations are carried out in a metallic pot that is heated
in an induction urnace. The vitrification of one load of wastes
comprises of the following stages. The first step is 'Feeding'. In this
step the vitrification receives a co .....

Leukemia
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 457.... or immature. In Granulocytic
Leukemia this causes an increase in white blood cells known
as granulocytes. Granulocytes are made in the bone marrow,
and other tissue. Granulocytes that are affected by
leukemia cannot fight of infections.
There are two ways in which leukemia can occur. One is
acute, and the other is chronic. Acute leukemia is found
most in children. It progresses rapidly. Acute leukemia
causes red blood cells to decrease, the cells are then
replaced by abnormal ones. This causes anemia. Life
expectancy is short without proper treatment. Ch .....

Cfcs Cause Deterioration Of The Ozone Layer
Number of pages: 9 | Number of words: 2231.... a majority of our weather takes place.
Beyond the troposphere is the second region of the atmosphere, the
stratosphere. The stratosphere extends from roughly 6.5-30 miles from the
earth's' surface. The air on this region is much less dense than in the
troposphere, and it's a lot drier. The stratosphere is the area that contains
the majority of the ozone layer.
Past the stratosphere is the mesosphere which extends to 50 miles above
the planet. The last region is the thermosphere. The thermosphere's outermost
edge is roughly 600 miles above the surface of the earth. Be .....
