.... dysfunction. Contrary to what was originally thought, autism is not a form of mental retardation. It manifests itself in varying degrees of severity, from profound to mild. Dr. Temple Grandin is an assistant professor at Colorado State University who was diagnosed as autistic at a young age, yet with proper help, she continued through school and earned a Ph.D. Autism is usually diagnosed in the first three years of life. Early indication of autism may be seen in one or more ways. First, there is a lack of response to other people. This can be as simple as not acknowledging .....

.... As of 1986, human insulin began to be produced by a process which involves the enzymatic conversion of human insulin's biosynthetic precursor, human proinsulin. The genetic coding for human proinsulin is inserted into the special E. coli bacteria which are then grown in a fermentation process to produce human proinsulin. With genetic engineering, new proteins are synthesized. They can be introduced into plants or animal genomes, producing a new type of disease resistant plants, capable of living in inhospitable environments. When introduced into bacteria, these proteins ha .....

.... although most cells are microscopic. Inside a cell membrane, a nucleus can be seen. The nucleus is the control center of the cell. Between the nucleus and the membrane, there is a polysaccharide matrix called the cytoplasm, where organelles can be found. The organelles are attached to a framework. The cell’s cytoskeleton. Every living cell has the ability to detect signals from it’s environment. The signals are usually in the form of chemical molecules, that the cell has learned to recognize. The cell decodes these molecules into messages, and acts upon them. The c .....

.... Dictionary of the English Language, Third Edition, 1992). A radioisotope is a radioactive isotope (The America Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, Third Edition, 1992). A radioisotope is a naturally or artificially created isotope having an unstable nucleus that decays, letting off alpha, beta, gamma rays until stability is reached (The America Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, Third Edition, 1992). Radon's melting point is -71°C. The boiling point is -61.8°C. Radon is the densest gas known (Concise Columbia Encyclopedia, 1995). Radon is a heavy, co .....

.... (HRV) sensors capturing visible and near-infrared radiance data with multispectral and panchromatic scanning capabilities. The multispectral mode captures data in three bands in the following spectral ranges: .50-.59, .61-.68 and .79-.89 micrometers. The three bands are co-registered and have a ground resolution of 20m. The panchromatic mode images data in the spectral range .51-.73 micrometers at a sampling interval of 10m. LITERATURE REVIEW Landsats 1 through 3 circled the Earth every 103 minutes, completing 14 orbits a day. Eighteen days and 251 overlapping orbits w .....

.... such as copper wire, coaxial cable, and fibre optics to their destination where they are decoded into their original form. Combinations of long and short bursts of electric current are sent through a circuit thereby encoding each letter of the alphabet. More efficient transmission facilities were developed as the mining industry developed. The discovery of electricity sped up the development of mining through electric lighting and better machinery and ventilation, which led to better materials for wires and cables. Telegraph lines were set up along the CPR in 1885 .....

.... of gravity is too far forward, the plane will have an unstable equilibrium and in turn will take a nose dive into the ground. If the center of gravity is too far aft (back) the plane will fall out of control. You must limit the weight and its positioning on board the aircraft to prevent these occurrences from happening. The engineers design an airplane so that it has a maximum weight capacity of passengers, cargo, fuel, and etc... The engineers design an airplane so that the center of gravity must stay within certain limits. Any weight added to an airplane may change the c .....

.... repel other objects is called static electricity. The adjective static describes something that does not move. Charges on an object are called static electricity to contrast then with the moving charges in an electric current. How can you disturb the balance of charge on objects so they exert electric force? The easiest way is the same way the ancient Greeks did it – by rubbing the 2 objects together. Rubbing neutral objects together allows charged pieces of matter to move from one object to another. The invisible bits of negatively charged matter that move between obj .....
