Term Papers on Science

Helium
Number of words: 521 - Number of pages: 2

.... Liquid helium can be cooled almost to absolute zero at normal pressure by rapid removal of the vapor above the liquid. At a temperature slightly above absolute zero, it is transformed into helium II, also called super fluid helium, a liquid with unique physical properties. It has no freezing point, and its viscosity is zero; it passes readily through minute cracks and pores and will even creep up the sides and over the lip of a container. Helium-3, the lighter helium isotope of mass 3, which has an even lower boiling point than ordinary helium, exhibits markedl .....


Cloning
Number of words: 1601 - Number of pages: 6

.... at the Roslin Institute in Edinburgh announced on that he had replaced the genetic material of sheep's egg with the DNA from an adult sheep, and created a lamb (Dolly), the topic of cloning "created" many new questions of its own. None were as controversial as: Will they apply this to humans as well? According to Dr. Wilmut, the answer was "there is no reason in principle why you couldn't do it"(clone humans), but he added, "All of us would find that offensive."(Wilmut as quoted by NYTimes, Daniel Callahan, 02/26/97). From an individualistic vi .....


The Mars Alive Documentary
Number of words: 470 - Number of pages: 2

.... pride themselves for their excellent space survival. Unfortunately, the country does not have the funds to carry out their survival plans. Lastly, many believe an American flag should be placed on the planet of Mars. The Americans have greatly contributed to the findings on Mars; they have helped figure out that the temperature is cool and that the atmosphere is thin. America’s NASA deeply desires for Mars to be a useful planet. Many take-offs have been launched in recent years to carry out this goal. Mar’s Direct is one plan where a rocket to Mars was .....


DNA
Number of words: 849 - Number of pages: 4

.... to the opposite end of the deoxyribose. DNA has two specific functions: to provide foe protein synthesis, and hence the growth and development of the organism and to furnish all descendants with protein-synthesis and hence the growth and development of the organism. So all living things on plant Earth contains the genetic material DNA and the structure of a DNA molecule or combination of DNA molecules determines the shape, form, and function of the offspring. 2)The term "genetic technology"(or genetic engineering) is the modification of the genetic properties .....


Organic Compounds
Number of words: 1100 - Number of pages: 4

.... of carbon and hydrogen. Almost all other organic compounds can be considered as derivatives of the hydrocarbons. If the carbon atoms are linked in chains, the compounds are called aliphatic compounds. If the atoms are linked in rings, the compounds are called cyclic compounds. (pg.581, ...ibid...) (Biology Pamphlet) In terms of naming organic compounds the number of carbon-carbon chains are named using the prefixes below: meth- 1 carbon eth- 2 prop- 3 but- 4 pent- 5 hex- 6 hept- 7 .....


Nuclear Weapons
Number of words: 1995 - Number of pages: 8

.... minds were the bombings of Hiroshima or Nagasaki. No one ever considered the fact that plutonium could be used for more constructive purposes such as: sources of energy or to keep a person's heart beating. We did begin to produce more plutonium but the majority of the substance was used towards our nuclear weapons programs. Along with reactors, sometimes comes a meltdown which can cause harmful effects if it isn't controlled quickly enough. After such instances as the Hanford, Washington reactor meltdown and the accident in the U.S.S.R. at the Chernob .....


Fusion 2
Number of words: 2677 - Number of pages: 10

.... of positively and negatively charged particles, produced when the atoms in a gas become ionized. It is sometimes referred to as the fourth state of matter, distinct from the solid, liquid, and gaseous states. When energy is continuously applied to a solid, it first melts, then it vaporizes, and finally electrons are removed from some of the neutral gas atoms and molecules to yield a mixture of positively charged ions and negatively charged electrons, while overall neutral charge density is maintained. When a significant portion of the gas has been ionized, .....


Acid Rain
Number of words: 1273 - Number of pages: 5

.... the source.When the acids fall to the earth in any form it will have large impact on the growth or the preservation of certain wildlife. NO DEFENSE Areas in Ontario mainly southern regions that are near the Great Lakes, such substances as limestone or other known antacids 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 top soil, there is not enough buffering capacity to neutralize even small a .....
