Mass And Science
Number of pages: 3 | Number of words: 690.... unit of matter that can exist and still be recognized. You and all the things around you are made of matter.
Since we all live at the surface of the earth where the acceleration of gravity is relatively constant, it has been natural for us to confuse the concepts of mass and weight. To study the difference, we need to separate these two "parameters." We could either leave the earth's gravitational field so that we would have no weight, or create an experimental situation where weight is not a factor. An easy way to do this is to use floating objects. Floating objects still ha .....

Pulmonary Agents
Number of pages: 9 | Number of words: 2323.... do not stockpile this agent for military use.
Perfluoroisobutylene (PFIB) is a toxic pyrolysis product of tetrafluoroethylene polymers encountered in military materiel (e.g., Teflon7, found in the interior of many military vehicles). The oxides of nitrogen (NOxs) are components of blast weapons or may be toxic decomposition products. Smokes, e.g., HC, contain toxic compounds that cause the same effects as phosgene does. The remainder of this chapter will deal solely with phosgene because it is the prototype of this class of agents; however, the principles of medical managemen .....

Newton's Method: A Computer Project
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 372.... to zero, there is no slope to the tangent line.
As seen in experimentation's, it is important to select an initial guess
close to the root because some functions have multiple roots. Failure to choose
an initial value that is close to the root could result in finding a the wrong
root or wasting a lot of time doing multiple iterations while getting close to
the actual root.
On some occasions, the program cannot find a root to an initial guess
that is placed into the program. In some instances Mathmatica could not find
the root to the function, like if it is a parabola with .....

Adrenal Glands
Number of pages: 4 | Number of words: 1019.... although they differ from each other in their effects.
Norepinephrine constricts almost all blood vessels. Norepinephrine is formed by intravenous infusion to combat the fall in blood pressure associated with types of shock. Norepinephrine is formed in the body from the amino acid tyrosine, and epinephrine is formed from norepinephrine.
Mineralocorticoids steroids control the overall body fluid. Mineralocorticoids are critical to regulate concentrations of minerals in extracellular fluids. The major target of aldosterone is the distal tubule of the kidneys. There it sti .....

The child failed to complete tasks assigned to him and he was unable to follow more than one instruction at a time. Attention Deficit Disorder affects social and family relationships, school performance and self esteem.
Family relationships is most crucial when there is a child with an attention deficit disorder. A child with needs structure and a set routine. They need regular meals and a well ordered environment. Examples would be to label shelves and cubbyholes to organi .....

Acid Rain
Number of pages: 9 | Number of words: 2433.... forms high in the clouds where sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides react with water, oxygen, and oxidants. This forms a mild solution of sulfuric acid and nitric acid. Sunlight increases the rate of most of these reactions. Rainwater, snow, fog, and other forms of precipitation containing those mild solutions of sulfuric and nitric acids fall to the earth as .
Water moves through every living plant and animal, streams, lakes, and oceans in the hydrologic cycle. In that cycle, water evaporates from the land and sea into the atmosphere. Water in the atmosphere then cond .....

Multiple Sclerosis
Number of pages: 8 | Number of words: 1939.... and children. It is also suspected that the same family members may inherent a genetic susceptibility to MS. While it is possible to inherit a genetic susceptibility to MS, it is not possible to inherit the disease. And even people who have all the necessary genes don't necessarily get MS. The disease, experts believe, must be triggered by environmental factors. So MS is not considered a hereditary disease.3
Until the definite cause of Ms is proved the treatment cannot be truly scientific. But there are treatments that are effective in dealing with symptoms. For inst .....

Plate Tectonics
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 516.... the movement of continents was called continental drift. This was not believable at the time because there was no way the continents could move through the rigid ocean floor.
During WWII, people started to explore the ocean floor and discovered evidence that would prove Wegener's ideas about land movement. The most interesting feature of the ocean was the ridges running along the ocean floor. It was discovered that earthquakes were abundant along the ridges that let magma flow from them. The magma would flow out these ridges and push the Earth away from it. This sea floor .....
