.... to keep snow and ice from bonding to the pavement and to allow snowplows to remove. When salt is applied to ice and snow it creates a brine that has a lower freezing temperature than the surrounding ice or snow. Salt is the ideal deicing material because it is: •the least expensive deicer •easy to spread •easy to store and handle •readily available •non-toxic •harmless to skin and clothing Salt pollution is broken into two main groups. Water, which includes the effects on ground water, surface water and aquatic life and land. Most of the salt applied to the roadwa .....

.... drums, which once were filled with an extremely harmful herbicide. Unaware of the possible consequences, many soldiers built showers and hibachis out of these discarded drums (Doyle, 139). They also used the barren drums to store potatoes and watermelons (Doyle, 139). One man described to his wife how they would bathe and swim in water contaminated with because their superior said it was safe (Brooks, 2). “After the LZ was sprayed, we walked around the perimeter, strung barbed wire all around it, and this stuff [] was blowing all over the place. Most of us drank .....

We are conscious of many more, and there are probably others that we are not aware of. If we do not start taking them seriously soon it will be too late, if it is not already.

.... the infected data. A computer virus in a system is one of the worst things that can happen to a computer user. Still, many specialists insist that it is possible to use the replication mechanism of for some useful and beneficial purposes. In this paper I will examine the question of why computer users consider to be a bad thing and why they reject the idea of having a computer virus serve a good purpose. I will also explore the military point of view with regard to . This paper is based in large part on a research paper by Vesselin Bontchev from the University of Hamburg. The .....

As bleak as this problems seems to be on society as a whole, it is also rueful for the poor soul who is alcohol dependent.

.... annual Cavendish dinner. Armed with the electron, and knowing from other experiment that what was left when electrons were stripped away from an atom was much more massive remainder that was positively charged, Thomson went on in the next decade to develop a model of the atom that came to be called the "plum pudding" model. The Thomson atom, "a number of negatively electrified corpuscles enclosed in a sphere of uniform positive electrification" like raisins in a pudding, was a hybrid: particulate electrons and diffuse remainder. It served the useful purpose of demonstrating .....
