The MOBOT Project: Longwood
Number of pages: 3 | Number of words: 594.... design. There were some disagreements about
whether we should take the electromechanical route or the purely electrical one.
And after some deep thought, we all agreed that the mechanical way would be the
simplest to build and the most merciful on our pocketbooks. Even though we were
coming up with some good ideas, each design seemed to contain some major
problems. One of the reoccurring problems dealt with the synchronization of the
driver motor and the steering system. Finally the team came up with a design
that allowed the drive and steering controls to be independent of .....

Ocean Environment
Number of pages: 11 | Number of words: 2944.... and the differences in density are the major factor in understanding
the formation of currents and the positions of water masses in the sea. In
addition, temperature and salinity play major roles in influencing the
distribution of plants and animals.
The sediments of the sea floor may be divided into lithogenous,
hydrogenous, biogenous, and cosmogenous sediments. Lithogenous sediments are
the major sediments on the ocean floor. They are derived from the chemical and
mechanical weathering of rocks. Biogenous sediments are composed primarily of
the protective outter coveri .....

Little Green Men Or Just Little Microscopic Organisms?
Number of pages: 3 | Number of words: 603.... years ago was much similar to the
young Earth. Microbes and bacteria probably sprouted everywhere in the warm and
wet climate. Although now we only see a cold red planet, which was probably due
to a collision of an astroid that would have set back the evolution process of
Mars, causing it to be a harsh planet. A Viking spacecraft which landed on Mars
in 1976 found that the planet was bathed in ultraviolet radiation, "intense
enough so it would probably fry any microbe we know on this planet,"says Jack
Farmer, an Ames researcher who calls himself an "exopaleontologist" .....

The Jovian Planets
Number of pages: 11 | Number of words: 2883.... after the Roman god Jove, the ruler of Olympus; Jupiter is the fifth planet from the sun and is also the largest planet in the Earth’s solar system. It is 318 times more massive than Earth and is two thirds of the planetary mass in the solar system. Jupiter’s surface, unlike earth, is gaseous and not a solid. It is about 90% hydrogen and 10% helium with traces of methane, ammonia, water and rock. Jupiter’s interior is very similar to the Sun’s interior but with a far lower temperature. However, it is still unknown but Jupiter is believed to have a core of liquid metallic hydro .....

Aerosol Spray Cans
Number of pages: 3 | Number of words: 583.... the
coil spring directly below the valve stem. When the push button is pressed, it
forces the valve stem down in its housing, uncovering a small a small hole which
leads up through the stem to the nozzle in the button. This allows the product
to be forced up the dip tube by the gas pressure in the can. The nozzle is
shaped to give a spray or a continuous stream.
To produce a fine mist, a propellant is used which mixes with the
product. The two leave the nozzle together and the propellant evaporates a soon
as it reaches the air, breaking the product in to tiny droplets. The .....

BETA PICTORIS: PLANETS? LIFE? OR WHAT?
Number of pages: 6 | Number of words: 1554.... Other authors have referred to this occurrence as, a “
placental nebula” (1), noting that it sustains the growth of planetary bodies.
For a long time, even before there was the term cocoon nebula, planetary
scientists knew that a cocoon nebula had surrounded the sun, long ago, in order
for our solar system to form and take on their currents motions (1).
In 1755, a German, named Immanuel Kant, reasoned that “gravity would
make circumsolar cloud contract and that rotation would flatten it (1)." Thus,
the cloud would assume the general shape of a rotating disk, explai .....

Extra Sensory Perception
Number of pages: 5 | Number of words: 1353.... collectively called extrasensory perseption (ESP) by
American psycologist J.B. Rhine. Dating from the early 1930s, Rhine's
tests at Duke University at Durham, North Carolina, remain the most quoted
examples of an expirimental blitzkreig on problems of parapsychology. Three
years of Rhine's telepathy and clairvoyance testing averaged 7 successes
out of every 25 people tested, 2 better than chance would have produced, an
overall result millions to one against the odd.

Stop Pollution
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 486.... heat as the entire atmosphere. This warmth is continuously redistributed by surface and convection currents.
Without the ocean there would be no life on land. Most of Earth's living space, is ocean, about 97%. And also 97% of Earth's water is ocean. There is a greater variety of living creatures in the ocean than anywhere on land. Scientists say that (including microscopic creatures) there may be 10 to 100 million unnamed species on the ocean bed alone. And that it could take up to 5000 years to classify them.
The sea is a very has a very important contribution to human life .....
