Alternative Medicine
Number of pages: 16 | Number of words: 4283.... the cost of the premiums down but at the
same time not allowing their customers to use complementary
treatments such as chiropractic to prevent or cure illness. The
more rigid and restrictive the policy provisos, the more
assurance for the companies that they will maximize their bottom
lines. Therefore, patients of alternative therapies as well as
doctors must show that such unconventional treatment provides
relief and prevention of illness. “The total projected out-of-
pocket expenditure for unconventional therapy plus
supplements(such as diet pills and megavitami .....

Genetic Engineering
Number of pages: 5 | Number of words: 1111.... to map the genes of human beings. This project is far from complete,
as the DNA sequence of humans is extremely long, yet it will eventually show
geneticists which genes are responsible for certain inherited diseases.
Identified genes could be repaired, resulting in the irradiation of inherited
diseases, such as cancer. Just last year, the locations of genes for several
diseases were confirmed and may soon be correctable. Secondly, research in
genetics has brought about a new medical field, genetic counseling. Couples
planning to have children can visit a gen .....

Nuclear Weapons
Number of pages: 4 | Number of words: 913.... the number of nuclear weapons in the world began
about 1970. The Strategic Arms Limitation Talks(SALT) was a convention held by
the United States and the Soviet Union to limit the numbers in nuclear weapons.
In 1982, the United States and the Soviet Union began the Strategic Arms
Reduction Talks(START). Unlike the SALT talks, these were aimed at the number
of nuclear weapons each country could obtain. Then there was another treaty
signed in 1987 which was called the Intermediate Range Nuclear Forces(INF).
This treaty called for the dismantling of ground-launched nuclear .....

New Technologies In Television
Number of pages: 7 | Number of words: 1794.... angles and multiple language support. Also, like CD's, there are writeable and rewriteable variations coming.
DVD is just starting to make a significant impact on the market. Estimates vary from about 600,000 to 1,000,000 console players ("living room" boxes used strictly to play movies) sold in the United States through the end of 1998. So far, the number of DVD drives in PCs is far smaller.
DVD technology can handle one or two layers of data per disc side. That makes for four sub varieties of DVD-ROM, the read-only version of this technology: DVD5 (single side, single la .....

The Metric System
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 464.... because it is not read in increments of one. Instead it is read having thirty-two degrees Fahrenheit being zero and two hundred and twelve degrees being the boiling point, While the Celsius (metric unit of measure for temperature) is read with one degrees Celsius being the freezing point of water, and one hundred degrees Celsius being the boiling point.
I think that should be used everywhere in the world because it would make all measurements universal and understandable. I think that the United States of America will someday switch to the metric way of measuring.
There .....

Chromatography
Number of pages: 3 | Number of words: 666.... consists of a column with a fritted bottom that holds a stationary phase in equilibrium with a solvent. Typical stationary phases (and their interactions with solutes) are: solids (adsorption), ionic groups on a resin (ion-exchange), liquids on an inert solid support (partitioning), and porous inert particles (size exclusion). The mixture to be separated is loaded onto the top of the column followed by more solvent. The different components in the sample mixture pass through the column at different rates due to differences in their partition behavior between the mobile p .....

Autumn A Magnificent End
Number of pages: 2 | Number of words: 510.... their elder loved ones change their colors and whither but rather rejoice from the knowledge that they lived a magnificent life and their death is merely the start of a new beginning.
After all the leaves have fallen, and the ground is littered in seas of immense color, the very structure that carried the leaves remains-the trees. They live on long after the leaves have fallen and died and remind us that no matter how long, cold, and terrible the winter is a new spring will come. Even though loved ones die and leave the earth behind the memory of them still remains planted f .....

Rates Of Reaction
Number of pages: 12 | Number of words: 3069.... of hydrogen as it fisses and it leaves behind a solution
of hydrogen chloride.
The activation energy of a particle is increased with heat. The particles
which have to have the activation energy are those particles which are moving,
in the case of magnesium and hydrochloric acid, it is the hydrochloric acid
particles which have to have the activation energy because they are the ones
that are moving and bombarding the magnesium particles to produce magnesium
chloride.
The rate at which all reactions happen are different. An example of a fast
reaction is an explosion, and a .....
