.... once a success, is now causing chaos in the nene population. A single pair of nenes were taken from the wild and bred in captivity. Later two more birds were added. The chicks were released into the wild and the program continued. Though there are several dozen nenes released from captivity, there is still little increase in the wild population. The inbreeding between birds is not allowing for any genetic diversity to occur between them. It is also causing captive-bred birds to lay eggs that don't produce chicks. Scientists collect blood samples from nenes in the area, sea .....

.... oxygen in his lab using a process known as adiabatic expansion, which is a "thermodynamic process in which the temperature of a gas is expanded without adding or extracting heat from the gas or the surrounding system"(Vance 26). At the same time Pictet used the "Joule-Thompson Effect," a thermodynamic process that states that the "temperature of a fluid is reduced in a process involving expansion below a certain temperature and pressure"(McClintock 4). After Cailletet and Pictet, a third method, known as cascading, was developed by Karol S. Olszewski and Zygmut von Wrob .....

.... the hand-held omnidirectional, the tiny lavalier mic, which is used by clipping on clothing, a wireless microphone called the transmitter mic, and the shotgun mic. The Omnidirectional Microphone comes in many different shapes and sizes. They are used when the background sound is normally low. They usually work by pointing the mic directly at the source of the sound. This mic is not good for loud background sound because the mic might not be able to distinguish between the different sounds. The Lavalier Microphones are small mics that have a more unidirectional pick u .....

.... routine. Women, on the other hand, have typically been brought up to be more emotional than men. This up bringing has also affected the way women dream. ³Women are more likely to dial into their interior life whether awake or asleep² (Segell 42). This means that women will read into their more frequently then men. Researchers have found that problems that occur during the day either at work or home and are worked through in your sleep (Segell 42). While men would most likely look at these as nothing but a dream, women will try to face these problems throughout the .....

.... many different tasks in less time and making our lives easier. Computers in telecommunications have allowed us to do many things from the comfort of our homes that could never be done before; such as talking with distant friends and relatives, buying merchandise, doing research, and a steadily increasing number of other things. At nearly any time of day we can buy something with a credit card, or fill out a form with personal information such as a loan application, job application or insurance form. Years ago, sending this amount of personal data was impossible .....

.... events. The National Weather Service announced that 1998 was the warmest year (on record on average, around the world). A recent tree-ring study indicated that this is the warmest decade in six hundred years (Allen & Herreid, 82). Undeniably, the weather is getting warmer. According to an article in The Economist, a conservative newsmagazine, "The sea is warming, the plankton dying; floods are sweeping the land. In California, the climate is acting in a peculiar way. So, too, in Antarctica, where unlooked-for flowers are blooming as the ice shelves disintegrate…In .....

.... Killer Whales are not used for oil-based products they have over and over again been found with harpoons sticking out of their backs. Research soon found that fishermen were shooting them to keep them from eating all of a days catch. This was not the first time something like this was found. In the 1950's The U.S. Navy used machine guns to slaughter hundreds of Killer Whales off of Iceland to protect fishing. After these animals are killed, they are usually thrown away. The meat is very bitter and is not used. Killer Whales also do not produce oil as most other whales d .....

.... that adapts well is grass which withstands grazing animals and occasional fires. Producer: An autotroph organism (grass). Consumer: Organism that eats producers (caterpillars, bison). Primary consumer: Organisms that eat consumers (chicken, meadowlark). Secondary consumers: Organisms that eatprimary consumers (praire felcon, eagle). Decomposers: Organisms that uses nutrients from dead plants and animals, it starts the chain over (bacteria). Say that an organism was removed from the web, such as a caterpillar. Though it's not the only grass eating organism it would .....
