The Study Of Biology
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 316.... Molecular biology, which has made the most fundamental contributions to modern biology; Cellular biology, which is closely linked with molecular biology. Cellular biology deals with the functions of the cell and the basic strucural unit of living matter; Finally, population biology became firmly established as a major sub division of biological studies in the 1970’s. This field relates with the study of gene changes in populations, and ecology.
Biology also includes the study of humans at the molecular, cellular, and organismal levels. If the focus of examination is .....

Animal Experimentation
Number of pages: 7 | Number of words: 1764.... the first to conduct demonstrations with live animals--specifically pigs-a
practice later extended to other species and termed "vivisection" (Loew, 1982).
However, it was not until the sixteenth century that many experiments on animals
began to be recorded. In 1628, William Harvey published his work on the heart
and the movement of blood in animals (French, 1975). In the 18OOs, when France
became one of the leading centers of experimental biology and medicine-marked by
the work of such scientists as Francis Magendie in experimental physiology,
Claude Bernard in experimental med .....

Barbituates
Number of pages: 3 | Number of words: 752.... alcohol. The most common way to get the barbiturates is in tablet form. Other ways to get barbiturates include ampoules, syrup, or capsules. For injection, which is rarely used because of its risk factor, capsules are opened and the powder is added to water. However, this can cause damage to the veins. Barbiturates come in different types such as Soneryl, Nembutal, Amytal, and Tuinal. Small doses relax the user, depressing the nervous system while the effects last up to 8 hours depending on the dosage. Large doses can cause loss of co-ordination, slurred speech, and g .....

Acid Rain
Number of pages: 7 | Number of words: 1923.... rain may be causing
great ecological damage to the planet. The problem was that by the time that the
scientist found the problem it was already very large. Detecting an acid lake is
often quite difficult. A lake does not become acid over night. It happens over a
period of many years, some times decades. The changes are usually to gradual for
them to be noticed early.
At the beginning of the 20th century most rivers/lakes like the river
Tovdal in Norway had not yet begun to die. However by 1926 local inspectors were
noticing that many of the lakes were beginning to show s .....

Feeding Yeast
Number of pages: 3 | Number of words: 735.... and grape juice. The yeast was a solution-6¾ teaspoons of yeast per cup of very warm (105° to 115°) water. Into all four bottles I put four tablespoons (tbsp.) of the yeast solution. Put ½ cup of corn syrup into bottle one, along with the yeast solution. Into bottle two goes ½ cup of water and ½ cup of flour, and the yeast solution. Next, mix the gelatin according to directions on the package, about one-tablespoon of powder to ½ cup of water. The ½ cup of the gelatin goes into the 3rd bottle, along with 4 tbsp. of the yeast solution. Into the 4th and final bottle .....

Cryogenic

At the center, your body is put on a table in the perfusion room. A team of three or four technicians work to drain the blood out of your body and inject a cryoprotective agent to get as much moisture as possible out of the tissues, so the organ don't crack during freezing.
The body is then dried and wrapped in a cotton sheet. It is placed, cocoonlike, into a standard sleeping bag, head first, with the open end by the fe .....

Bipolar Disorder 2
Number of pages: 7 | Number of words: 1764.... sleep and appetite, psycomoter retardation, loss of energy, feelings of worthlessness, guilt, difficulty thinking, indecision, and recurrent thoughts of death and suicide. The manic moods are made up by elevated or irritable mood, increased energy, decreased need for sleep, poor judgment and insight, and often reckless or irresponsible behavior. Bipolar affective disorder affects one percent of the population (approximately three million people) in the United States. It is presented by both males and females. Bipolar disorder involves moods of mania and depression. These ep .....

Capacitors
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 504.... difference of potential. that use vacuum, air, or other gases are used in applications where values of capacitance required do not have to be large, but the energy loss in the dielectric must be very small. Some applications for these are in radio- frequency circuits and low- frequency measuring circuits where great precision is required. Another type of capacitor uses castor or mineral oil for the dielectric. Oil insulated are used in applications where larger values of the capacitance are required. also use solid dielectrics such as films of synthetic materia .....
