Enviromental Science Profit Or
Number of words: 813 - Number of pages: 3.... sulfuric acid and nitric acid. Air current can send them thousands of kilometers from the source. When these acids fall to the earth, they will have large impact on the growth and the preservation of certain wildlife. These substance's can neutralize acids entering the body of water, thereby protecting it. However, large areas of Ontario that are near the Pre-Cambrian Shield, with quartzite or granite based geology and little topsoil; there is not enough buffering capacity to neutralize even small amounts of acid falling on the soil and the lakes. Therefore over .....

Into The Depths Of A Black Hole
Number of words: 1263 - Number of pages: 5.... produced is so great when it first collides, that a
nuclear reaction occurs, and the gases within the star start to burn
continuously. The Hydrogen gas is usually the first type of gas consumed in a
star and then other gas elements such as Carbon, Oxygen, and Helium are consumed.
This chain reaction fuels the star for millions, or billions, of years
depending upon the amount of gases there are. The star manages to avoid
collapsing at this point because of the equilibrium achieved by itself. The
gravitational pull from the core of the star is equal to the .....

Cloning
Number of words: 967 - Number of pages: 4.... but
they still seem pessimistic of the future of cloning in animals excluding humans.
The first thing the article states is the Wall Street opportunities for
the biotech field. Instead of phone calls from eager investors only phone calls
from reporters were coming in asking about this market. I feel that now would
be a great time to invest in biotechnical companies specializing in agricultural
and medicinal cloning. This article says nothing about the great potentials of
long term investment. Long term investment especially in the medicinal field is
incred .....

Effects Of Smoking
Number of words: 464 - Number of pages: 2.... nicotine. Nicotine begins to effect a smoker’s
blood pressure, the flow of blood from their heart, the
heart beat and breathing rate.
Cigarette smoke also contains carbon monoxide, the same
poisonous gases released from a car exhaust pipe. Carbon
monoxide is a colorless and odorless, highly toxic gas that
reduces the amount of oxygen that the blood can carry.
Combined with the effects produced by the nicotine, it
creates an imbalance in the demand for oxygen by the cells
and the amount of oxygen the blood is able to supply.
Tar is another chemica .....

Cold Fusion
Number of words: 695 - Number of pages: 3.... out of their orbits
around deuterium and tritium atoms. Muons replace the electrons and form a
smaller atom. This "muo-atom" the n captures another nucleus. The muon
orbits more tightly around the two captive nuclei leading them to overcome
their natural repulsion of each other and fuse. This reaction produces a
larger nucleus that almost immediately shatters, releasing energy. It also
frees the muon, which can then repeat the cycle, causing several hundred
more such fusions.
The fact that the muon is 207 times heavier than an electron gives
suppor .....

Temagami
Number of words: 4784 - Number of pages: 18.... of the Forest
Forests have long been recognized as having vast power, both through their
potential and how it has been viewed by humans, as well as through their effect
on humans in sometimes subtle ways. The inherent properties of wood have always
made it attractive as a versatile resource but there are other, more subtle ways
in which it affects people. The tropical rainforests, responsible for producing
most of the earth's breathable air, have been given the lofty title of "lungs of
the Earth," and as stated by the Canadian Encyclopedia Plus '93, .....

Nickel Metal Hydrive Battery For Electric Vehicals
Number of words: 610 - Number of pages: 3.... reduced. In fact, the hydrogen which was separated from water come to react with the metal in the negative electrode to form MH. On the other hand, the hydroxyl ion ( from water) reacts with Ni(OH)2 at the positive electrode to form NiOOH. Ni now change from +2 to +3.
Ni(OH)2 +OH = NiOOH + H2O + e
From equation (1) and (2) there is no net change in electrolyte quantity or concentration over the charge and discharge cycle. We can see that it is different from other alkaline electrode such as NiCd which water is produced at both electrode during charge .....

Linux Vs Nt
Number of words: 1051 - Number of pages: 4.... software fees, and maintenance and reliability which often go hand in hand. According to Sunworld, the estimated minimal required hardware costs that would go with a Linux machine is $200. In an NT machine, the minimal hardware cost rose up to $1300. This is because NT requires at least a 486 Pentium with 16MB of RAM. Linux can run fine on a 386 computer with only 8MB of RAM.
What do the majority of users need a computer for? Mainly word processing and the use of a database program. An NT user doesn’t have to go with Microsoft Office, but a lot of p .....
