Nanotechnology Nanotechnology is the newest of evolutionary science technology. Nanotechnology is the science of manipulating materials at the molecular level. With the same controversy of cloning nano is changing things that most people think should be left to evolution. When talking about this subject you can tie it in with the fundamentals of ecology. When studying interactions b

Marajuana Marijuana Written by: upinya187 Cannabis Sativa (marijuana) has been thought to be an illegal and very harmful drug for many years. But as you read this report you will learn that marijuana has been around for many years (most years legal) and isn't as harmful as some people may think. Marijuana has been used for many things in the past, including medicine, hemp rope, cr

Lupus Lupus, a disease in which the normal immunity of the patient is upset, the patient produces an excess of blood proteins which may cause problems in any organ in the body. The cause of the disease has not yet been identified, but they have treatments that patients may go threw. The disease is mostly found in woman, and young teenagers, the symptoms may strike aggressively as an acut

Lucid Dreaming “Lucid dreamers report being able to freely remember the circumstances of waking life, to think clearly, and to act deliberately upon reflection, all while experiencing a dream world that seems vividly real” (LaBerge, 1990). In lucid dreaming, people become conscious enough to realize what they are dreaming, and therefore can change the dream they are having. A theory wide

Bias Heuristics and Bias A major concern with some researchers is whether the thought processes involved in decision making are suitable for producing the best outcomes. However, a wealth of evidence indicates that people do not generally think in the way rational principles are described by decision theory. This implies to some researchers that people require education in decision-maki

Did Early Humans Use Toothpicks' Did early humans use toothpicks' A U.S. scientist may have settled a conundrum that could have widespread implications about the customs, diet and oral health of early humans -- did they use toothpicks' Curved grooves on the roots of teeth from ancient hominids suggest they were indeed concerned about dental hygiene and used implements to pick their

Galileo Galilei Galileo Galilei was born at Pisa on the 18th of February in 1564. His father, Vincenzo Galilei, belonged to a noble family and had gained some distinction as a musician and a mathematician. At an early age, Galileo manifested his ability to learn both mathematical and mechanical types of things, but his parents, wishing to turn him aside from studies which promised no

Greenhouse Effect Introduction The dictionary defines the greenhouse effect as the effect produced as greenhouse gases allow incoming solar radiation to pass through the Earth’s atmosphere, but prevent most of the outgoing infrared radiation from the surface and lower atmosphere from escaping into outer space. According to the National Academy of Sciences, the Earth’s surface temperatu

Human Genome The societal issue being addressed in this article is the cloning of humans and nuclear cell fusion. This question lingering into every household…Should we be playing God' This question has substantial points on each side. Some people think that we shouldn’t be manipulating nature’s creations ,and we should leave things the way they are because that is the way things are mea

Nato The North Atlantic Treaty Organization has been a silent partner on the world stage for more than half of the century and the most successful political-military alliance in history. The United Nations and their peacekeeping efforts have had the spotlight for the past few years. However the driving force behind any successful agreement or, if needed, action on the part of several cou

Abortion Abortion. Abortion is the termination of a pregnancy after, accompanied by, resulting in, or closely followed by the death of the embryo or fetus. There are many choices that a mother can make which will allow the child to live. There are adoption agencies, and other programs that she could go to before making this horrible choice. I don’t want to contradict my self but there

Effects Of Oil Spills The Exxon Valdez Oil Spill: the Harm That Followed Almost 14,000 oil spills are reported each year. The Exxon Valdez oil spill is one these reported and also one of the world’s most known. It was not the largest spill, but it had the most detrimental environmental effects known today. The Exxon Valdez spill is also the most expensive spills to date. The spill

Anatomy By: John Boner Raffi Astoor February 9, 2002 Comparing and Contrasting: Mitosis and Meiosis There are two types of cellular reproduction, mitosis and meiosis. They have different purposes and processes which they go through, but are the same because they both involve replication of genetic informaiton and the division of a cell. Mitosis is the reproduction and division of any

Genetic Testing Since the discovery of the DNA molecule in 1952, scientists have been working to understand how it works and which segments influence which parts or functions of the body. The Human Genome Project, begun in October 1990, hopes to identify these segments. Once the “normal” genetic sequences are identified, scientists work to find mutations that result in genetic disorder

MDS MYELODYSPLATIC SYNDROMS AFTER BONE MARROW TRANSPLANTATION Background Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) is the name given to a group of closely related diseases that arise in the bone marrow from hematopoietic stem cells. (Myelo refers to bone marrow and dysplasia means abnormal) (1). MDS can affect RBC, WBC, and platelets. Each year between 10,000 to 20,000 new cases of MDS are

Genetic Engineering Science is a creature that continues to evolve at a much higher rate than the beings that gave it birth. The transformation time from tree-shrew, to ape, to human far exceeds the time from an analytical engine, to a calculator, to a computer. However, science, in the past, has always remained distant. It has allowed for advances in production, transportation, and even

Nature Nature can sometimes become spiritual and personal. In the case of Joan Didion and his views on the Santa Ana, he believes that these winds makes people act certain ways, and their feelings are inexplicable. Although many suppose that their actions are caused as a result of the amount of positive and negative ions in the atmosphere, there are other reasons beyond that, at least th

Necrotizing Fasciitis Necrotizing Fasciitis Sky Goltz Ø Details about Necrotizing Fasciitis: Ø This is a rare infection of the skin and deeper tissues is also known as Streptococcal Gangrene, and is characterized by extensive and rapidly spreading decaying of tissue and muscle. There is no medicine to prevent contracting the disease, however you can reduce risk of receiving the dis

Cat Scans CAT SCANS A CAT Scan or CT Scan is also known as a computed axial tomography. The CT Scan is a technique that allows relatively safe, painless, and rapid diagnosis in previously inaccessible areas of the body. An X-ray tube, rotating around a specific area of the body, delivers an appropriate amount of X radiation for the tissue being studied. It then takes pictures of that

Nerve Agents Nerve Agents: Tabun, Sarin, and Soman IV Now imagine that you are on a beach code-named OMAHA during World War II. As you travel inland from the beach, suddenly you see your commanding officer on the ground; he is dead but not from a bullet wound. After you take a few steps away from him you start to shake, very hard, and then all of a sudden everything goes BLACK, into ob

Nervous System THE NERVOUS SYSTEM is the most complicated and highly organized of the various systems which make up the human body. It is the mechanism concerned with the correlation and integration of various bodily processes and the reactions and adjustments of the organism to its environment. In addition the cerebral cortex is concerned with conscious life. It may be divided into two

New Castle Disease Disease Etiology Assignment Newcastle disease Newcastle disease virus (NDV) - NDV is endemic in many countries of the world. Some European countries have been free of the disease for years. It is a contagious and fatal viral disease affecting most species of birds. Clinical signs are extremely variable depending on the strain of virus, species and age of

New Treee Planting "It's better to put a $100 tree in a $200 hole than to put a $200 tree in a $100 hole." Dig a shallow, broad planting hole. Make the hole wide, as much as three times the diameter of the root ball, but only as deep as the root ball. It is important to make the hole wide because the tree roots on the newly establishing tree must push through surrounding soil to esta

The Chesapeake Bay The Chesapeake Bay is America\'s largest estuary and one of the world’s most productive. The Bay is home to over 2,700 species. It draws water from over 150 rivers, streams, and creaks, receiving roughly 70,000 cubic feet of water every second. That water reflects the surrounding land use activities of the District of Columbia, parts of New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware

Cloning Environment, Technology, and Society Imagine this; “talking to yourself” could take on a whole new meaning if exact human cloning is made possible. Cloning could have many effects on society, and has become a huge issue over the previous years. People take a stand on different sides of the issue. Many of the arguments that are presented have many opinions backing them. Clon

Cloning The Study Of Cloning On February 27, 1997, it was reported that scientists produced the first clone of an adult sheep, attracting international attention and raising questions on the morality of cloning. Within days, the public had called for ethics inquires and new laws banning cloning. Issues are now raised over the potentially destructive side of this scientific frontier.

Cloning Cloning The new breakthrough of cloning is a great advance in biotechnology. The use of cloning can be both beneficial and harmful to society. There are many reasonable ways to use the methods of cloning. For instance, the use for medical purposes can be helpful in cases such as producing animals with human body systems that could be used for transplanting organs. It can be a val

Newton Sir Isaac Newton was born on Christmas day of 1642, in Woolsthorpe, England. As a lad, Newton showed extraordinary signs of intelligence. He was always reading books to expand his knowledge. He studied for five years at the University of Cambridge, and with the help of a common red fruit and Galileo; Sir Isaac formulated the three fundamental laws of motion. All of the followi

Contreversy Surrounding Stem Cell Research With the development of embryonic stem cell research, controversy often arises when defining human life. As tiny as a breadcrumb, an embryo can be defined two different ways. Scientists define an embryo as a clump of cells that possess genetic information that could develop into a human baby. However, pro-life advocates, and multiple Christian f
