The Chlorine Debate: How White Do You Want It?
Number of words: 1421 - Number of pages: 6.... unavoidable by-product of these
manufacturing processes is dioxin, one of the most toxic substances on the
planet earth. Dioxins are also produced whenever chlorine containing substances,
such as PVC, are burned.
Life as we know it will change, if a Greenpeace campaign is successful.
The powerful environmental group has mounted a well-organized campaign that has
as its objective nothing less than a total, worldwide ban on chlorine. With the
public health and billions of dollars at stake, the debate over chlorine has
become one of the world's most contentiou .....

Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy
Number of words: 2159 - Number of pages: 8.... of BSE was finally determined.
Microscopic lesions in the central nervous system that consist of a bilaterally
symmetrical, non-inflammatory vacuolation of neuronal perikarya and grey-matter
neuropil was the scientists' overall conclusion (Stadthalle, 1993). These
lesions are consistent with the diseases of the more common scrapie family.
Without further investigation, the conclusion was made that BSE was a new member
of the scrapie family (Westgarth, 1994).
Transmission of BSE is rather common throughout the cattle industry.
After the incubation period of .....

The Orgins Of Atomic Theory
Number of words: 1881 - Number of pages: 7.... "why" we are not
just "what" we are.
The Greeks invented science and explored it in its truest form, philosophy.
Through the years we have developed tools that we hope can prove or disprove
various hypothesizes, to further our understanding of any number of things. We
divide science into categories and then sub-divide it even farther, until we can
hide the connections and pretend that they really are separate. The difference
between psychology and physics is not as extreme as one would believe if they
were to read their definitions. Though the means are differe .....

Anatomy Of A Muscle Cell
Number of words: 1020 - Number of pages: 4.... cells. These myoblasts retain the capacity to join with one another or with damaged muscle fibers in order to regenerate these muscle fibers.

Anatomy & Physiology
The many nuclei of skeletal muscle fiber are located underneath the sarcolemma, which is the fiber’s plasma membrane. Thousands of invaginations of the sarcolemma, which are called T Tubules, Tunnel from the surface to the center of the muscle fiber. These T Tubules are open to the outside of the fiber and are filled with extra-cellular fluid. Muscle action potenti .....

History Of Birth Control
Number of words: 455 - Number of pages: 2.... each women, there is a rhythmic pattern of menstruation and ovulation that can be identified by keeping a careful record of the dates of menstruation. A second assumption is that
ovulation occurs 14 days before the onset of the next menstruation. The rhythm method is the most commonly used of the natural methods.
To be used successfully a record should be kept for at least six menstrual cycles. The fertile period is then defined by a set of rules for example: The length of the shortest cycle less 18 days marking the start of the fertile period and the length o .....

Solar Cells
Number of words: 1163 - Number of pages: 5.... kinetic energy
levels, which increase with the orbital radius. When atoms bond together to form
a solid, the electron energy levels merge into bands. In electrical conductors,
these bands are continuous but in insulators and semiconductors there is an
"energy gap", in which no electron orbits can exist, between the inner valence
band and outer conduction band [Book 1]. Valence electrons help to bind together
the atoms in a solid by orbiting 2 adjacent nucleii, while conduction electrons,
being less closely bound to the nucleii, are free to move in response .....

Cloning 7
Number of words: 611 - Number of pages: 3.... infectious organism, such as the
influenza virus, could be hazardous.
We have come to believe that all human beings are equal; but even more
firmly, we are taught to believe each one of us is unique. Is that
idea undercut by cloning? That is, if you can deliberately make any
number of copies of an individual, is each one special? How special
can clones feel, knowing they were replicated like smile buttons. "We
aren't just our genes, we're a whole collection of our experiences,"
says Albert Jonsen. But the idea, he adds, raises a hos .....

Mars 4
Number of words: 500 - Number of pages: 2.... is even more weathered and rusted.The brighter areas seem to have similar but even more weatherd and rusted material that apparently contain more fine, dust-sized particles than they do the dark reigons. The mineral scapolite,which is rare on Earth,seem's wide spread; it may serve as a store for carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
Bright caps, apparntly made of frost or ice, mark the planet's polar regions . their seasonal cycle has been followed for almost two centuries .Each Martian autumn, bright clouds form over correct pole.Bellow what is called polar hoo .....
