Freezing Point
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 510.... commenced.
All solids melt when heated to their melting points, but most liquids can
remain liquid even though cooled below their freezing points. A liquid may
remain in this supercooled state for some time. This phenomenon is
explained by molecular theory, which conceives the molecules of a solid as
being well ordered and the molecules of a liquid as being disordered. To
solidify, a liquid must have a nucleus (a point of molecular orderliness)
around which the disordered molecules can crystallize. The formation of a
nucleus is a matter of chance, but once a nucleus forms .....

Computer Virus
Number of pages: 3 | Number of words: 701.... program to which it can attach. ? The virus must do some kind of harm to the computer system or at least cause some kind of unexpected or unwanted behaviour. Sometimes es just eat up memory or display annoying messages, but the more dangerous ones can destroy data, give false information, or completely freeze up a computer. The Stealth_c virus is a boot sector virus, meaning that it resides in the boot sectors of a computer disk and loads into memory with the normal boot-up programs. The "stealth" in the name comes from the capability of this virus to possibly hide from .....

Tourette Syndrome
Number of pages: 5 | Number of words: 1363.... in and outside of your body. For example, your sensory receptors may detect a change in your blood temperature, or a change outside of your body such as a touch on the arm. Your body then goes through a process know as its integrative function. This is when your nervous system processes information sent via your sensory neurons and in a way “makes decisions” regarding appropriate responses. When all is said and done during this process a decision is made and sent through interneurons that act as a postman and deliver the decision to the motor function part of your ner .....

Cloning
Number of pages: 7 | Number of words: 1840.... by the name of Hans Spermann used a strand of hair as a noose to split apart cells of a two-celled salamander embryo, and obtained a normal salamander from each cell. Thirty-six years later, Spermann used nuclear transportation to create a clone. He took the nucleus, the cellular structure that contains the most genetic material and controls growth and development, and removed it from an egg cell of an organism. Spermann had successfully created another clone. Later on, other scientists were able to clone plants very easily. Plants are simple in structure and them became .....

Chemical Warfare
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 385.... big blisters on your skin. A blister agent called mustard gas caused a lot of deaths on both sides during World War I. Some other chemical agents can cause temporary blindness or mental confusion.
But people still can defend themselves against all of these chemical agents. For example, gas masks, other protective coverings for the body, and injections of antidotes are used as defenses against chemical agents.
Chemical agents also have nonmilitary uses. For example, riot control agents, including tear gas, can be used to control rioting crowds. These agents just affect the eye .....

After The Atomic Bomb
Number of pages: 9 | Number of words: 2470.... of building the atomic bomb has spurred some useful innovations that can be applied through the use of nuclear power. The fear of a potential nuclear attack had been heightened by the media and its release of movies impacting on public opinion and fear of nuclear devastation. The lives lost after the detonation of the atomic bombs have become warning signs that changed global thinking and caused preventative actions.
The Atomic Bomb
The devastation brought about by the atomic bomb has caused fear among all the people that have realized the potential destructive power o .....

Toxic Waste
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 530.... mosquito. Oil spills also have harmful effects, luckily chemicals can neutralize the oil before massive damage occurs. In 1983 the Dow Chemical Company’s factory, a major producer of chemicals, showed contamination from dioxin. Dow undertook a 3 million dollar study of the material. The company announced that Dioxin is less health and life threatening.
High-temperatures are used to reduce the toxicity of waste. These processes use plasma technology to make the waste more environmentally friendly. Plasma treatment reach temperatures up to 1,650o F. In the United States .....

Health Risks Of Secondhand Smoke
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 525.... of company smoking policies". He again fails to let the reader know the credentials of the survey.
Another explanation as to why Viscusi's article is not successful is because the organization is confusing. The thesis Viscusi is trying to prove is that the are exaggerated. He fails to support his thesis because his main points in his story are all scattered and have no organization. Also, Viscusi's main point is that
risks are exaggerated, but he fails to bring out the "risks" until after the he writes about insignificant topics that have nothing to do with the point he is .....
