Large Mouth Bass
Number of words: 1850 - Number of pages: 7.... bass is larger in the south. This is so because there is more to eat.
The sexual characteristics of the bass remain the same nort and south. The spawn in the spring, when water temperatures begin to move past sixty degrees fahrenheit. The spring spawning urge in a bass is set off by both water temperature and photoperiod. Photoperiod is the proportion of the day in which the bass are exposed to sunlight. As the day light hours grow longer through the spring and early summer, so does the photoperiod. This process affects the temperature of different bodie .....

Apart from the novelty of being such rare fish, have very great zoological importance. First, they are "living fossils"-a life form that has been preserved almost unchanged for many millions of years. As such, they offer the scientist a view of the biology of an earlier stage in the history of life. Second, the group of fishes to which the coelacanth belongs occupies .....

Cloning
Number of words: 1840 - Number of pages: 7.... ever created. In the year 1902, a German embryologist by the name of Hans Spermann used a strand of hair as a noose to split apart cells of a two-celled salamander embryo, and obtained a normal salamander from each cell. Thirty-six years later, Spermann used nuclear transportation to create a clone. He took the nucleus, the cellular structure that contains the most genetic material and controls growth and development, and removed it from an egg cell of an organism. Spermann had successfully created another clone. Later on, other scientists were able to clone pl .....

Chromium
Number of words: 483 - Number of pages: 2.... hardness of steel
can be increased by adding small quantities of chromium to it. Chromium steel
alloys (mixtures containing one or more metals) are used to make armor plating
for tanks and warships. They are also used for ball bearings and the hard
cutting edges of high-speed machine tools.
Nickel is highly resistant to electric current and is often added to
chromium steels to make them easier to work. For example, stainless steel
sinks can be pressed out from flat sheets of steel that can contain 18 percent
chomium and 8 percent nickel. .....

Number of words: 1121 - Number of pages: 5.... and the world population increased twofold (Anonymous em_txt4.html).
Richard Cromwell, general manager of SunLine Transit Agency in Southern California's Coachella Valley, is a firsthand proponent of alternative fueling. Having to smell the awful odor emitted day after day from his fleet of forty-seven buses, Cromwell (Silverstein 10) encourages the changeover. Phil Bostley, Mayor of Indian Wells, a subsection of Coachella Valley, agrees wholeheartedly by saying petroleum-base fuels will go the way of the buggy whips back in the 1930's (Silverstein 10).
