Deinonychus Antirrhopus
Number of pages: 3 | Number of words: 661

.... is known from fossil remains found in south central Montana during the 1960’s. It was a carnivorous, bird-like creature with characteristics similar to that of a Velociraptor ( one of the stars from Jurassic Park ). This fearsome beast was quite a ravage hunter. The Deinonychus attacked its larger prey in packs and often were successful in doing so because of their menacing claw. By hunting in groups, members of the Deinonychus pack have brought down dinosaurs much lager than themselves. Proof of this occurrence has been found today due the discovery of several in .....


Water Transitions
Number of pages: 3 | Number of words: 687

.... naturally occurring element. Although seawater has a fairly constant ratio of major elements, salinity and seawater can fluctuate. Normally, the salinity is thirty-four to thirty-seven parts per thousand (ppt.), but on a particularly rainy morning, the salinity may decrease to something as low as thirty-two ppt. (Stuller 29). The mixing of freshwater and sea water forms a third type of water, known as brackish water. Brackish water can be found in a variety of mixing zones such as river deltas, freshwater title marshes, estuaries, fjords, and in the middle of the ocean (Stu .....


Melissa Virus
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 298

.... the user's e-mail address book and sends an infected message to the first 50 entries. Although the virus apparently causes no permanent damage to a computer, its clogging affects were far-reaching. All new Microsoft Word documents created on an infected computer will contain the virus, too. Our own computer lab has posted a warning stating if a you receive a mail docoument the says, "Here is that document you asked for ... don't show it to anyone else" with a winking smiley face formed by the punctuation marks ;-) that you don't open it and to delete it right away. A copy c .....


Nuclear Power
Number of pages: 6 | Number of words: 1419

.... the hydroelectric is because their countries don't have enough concentrated water to create enough energy to generate electricity. (World Book vol. 14, 586) Nuclear power plants generate only about eleven percent of the world's electricity. There are around 316 nuclear power plants in the world that create 213,000 megawatts of electricity. (INFOPEDIA) Radioactive, or nuclear, waste is the by-product of nuclear fission. Fission occurs when atoms' nucleus' split and cause a nuclear reaction. (General Information) When a free neutron splits a nucleus, energy is released alon .....


The Orgins Of Atomic Theory
Number of pages: 7 | Number of words: 1881

.... invented science and explored it in its truest form, philosophy. Through the years we have developed tools that we hope can prove or disprove various hypothesizes, to further our understanding of any number of things. We divide science into categories and then sub-divide it even farther, until we can hide the connections and pretend that they really are separate. The difference between psychology and physics is not as extreme as one would believe if they were to read their definitions. Though the means are different the goal is the same for all science: to increase our understa .....


Environmental Issues Associated With Vehicle Use
Number of pages: 6 | Number of words: 1423

.... Increasing levels of air pollution, particularly particulates from vehicles, are linked to increasing respiratory problems including asthma and this air pollution is thought to cause up to several thousand deaths and up to 20,000 hospital admissions every year. Acid rain is another serious problem, helped along with the increased usage of motor cars. The increased acidity of the precipitation is down to contamination by carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxide, all of which the car is largely responsible for. During driving, a large percentage of lead is emitted i .....


Carnivorous Plants
Number of pages: 6 | Number of words: 1430

.... chlorophyll. This pigment helps to mediate a chemical process called photosynthesis. This converts light energy into the chemical bond energy of carbohydrate which is utilized as cellular energy, plant growth and development. Water, carbon dioxide, nutrients and minerals are also needed for survival. In wetlands, where stagnate water contains acidic compounds and chemicals from decaying organic matter many plants have a difficult time obtaining necessary nutrients. It is in these nutrient poor conditions that some plants evolved different ways of obtaining nutrients. T .....


Animal Uses
Number of pages: 3 | Number of words: 738

.... animal tests to see if there product are irritating (664). These experiments were tested on rabbits only because they have no tear glands to wipe away any foreign objects on the eye. The animal would be strapped down and the "product" would be dropped into the eyes. After irritation came pain, after pain came ulceration and bleeding, blindness would follow. Other tests would include "forcing hair dye or face powder into a dog or rat through a stomach tube until its internal organs rupture." It really makes no sense that people can still be for animal testing when .....
