Internet Security
Number of words: 4156 - Number of pages: 16.... Unfortunately for regular users of the Internet, much like the real world, criminals exist on the Internet as well. "Hackers," the computer wizards who use their knowledge for evil, are rampant on the Internet. Sometimes they do seemingly harmless acts, such as just going into a computer system and observing, but at other times, they steal, destroy or alter data. On some occasions, these cyber-felons perform even more malicious acts, such as infecting systems with "viruses," computer programs that "infect" the systems by latching onto other programs and eventu .....

Stars
Number of words: 3925 - Number of pages: 15.... (Ursa
Minor), is gamma (designated by the Greek lower-case letter gamma) Ursa
Minoris, and Betelgeuse, in Orion, is gamma Orionis. VARIABLE STARS (those
which periodically change in brightness) have lettered names, such as RR
Lyrae in the constellation Lyra. Fainter stars are known by their numbers
in a catalog; HD 12938 is the 12,938th star in the Henry Draper Catalogue.
CHARACTERISTICS OF STARS
Each star in the universe has its own position, motion, size, mass,
chemical composition, and temperature. Some stars are grouped into clusters,
and stars and sta .....

Coral Reefs 3
Number of words: 3393 - Number of pages: 13.... and other debris, to form the backbone of the reef. Over tens of thousands of years, chemical and mechanical changes turn the reef into true rock.
The body of a coral animal consists of a polyp, which is the living portion of the coral. A polyp is a hollow, cylindrical structure attached at one end to a surface, the other end is a mouth surrounded by tentacles which gather food and can sting prey to paralyse it. Polyps live in colonies, which grow from 1 to 7 inches, depending on the species. Coral polyps are classified as animals. Microscopic algae live with .....

Historical Development Of Atomic Structure
Number of words: 1213 - Number of pages: 5.... the properties of the chemical elements
(which states that elements show a regular pattern ("periodicity") when they are
arranged according to their atomic masses), published his first attempt to
classify the known elements. His name was Mendeleyev, and he was a renowned
teacher. Because no good textbook in chemistry was available at the time, he
wrote the two-volume Principles of Chemistry (1868-1870), which later became a
classic. During the writing of this book, Mendeleyev tried to classify the
elements according to their chemical properties. In 1871 he publis .....

How Science And Pseudo-science Differ
Number of words: 563 - Number of pages: 3.... take an infinite number of tests to do so.
A pseudo-science is similar, in that it has laws. However, these laws are mostly restatements of known facts. For example, in astrology, they make claims about what you are like based on what day you were born. The things they say, however, are things that are statistically common for those people. They are also very vague, making the chances of being wrong increasingly low. Also, they can be interpreted in many different ways, allowing for unbelievable flexibility in their predictions. A pseudo-scientific theory .....

Biology 2
Number of words: 516 - Number of pages: 2.... of violent jumps." The Demodus rotundus demonstrates intricate movements including flight-initiating jumps and because of this the wing is expected to be engineered for the ability to jump (to initiate flight) and also powered flight.
The prediction that was made for this experiment was that this experiment would follow the results that were observed by Altenbach in 1979, and 1988. That is, that the bat would indeed initiate its flight with a jump.
The tests that were imposed were the use of a force platform with twelve transducing elements. There wer .....

The Physics Of Scuba Diving: Swimming With The Fish
Number of words: 4541 - Number of pages: 17.... just say I
would not do that again.
To start exploring the underwater world, one must first master a few
skills. Certification is the first step of learning to dive. From qualified
professionals one must learn how to use the equipment, safety precautions, and
the best places to dive. This paper is designed to help give a general
understanding of the sport and the importance that physics plays in it. Self-
contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus, or SCUBA for short, is a hell of a lot
of fun. However, there is considerably more to Diving than just putting .....

Wavelength Of 10 Or Higher And 11 Down. Gamma Rays Are Produced In Labs
Number of words: 646 - Number of pages: 3.... detecting
internal defects in metal castings and in welded structures. Gamma rays are used
to kill pesticides and bugs in food. Gamma rays are also used in nuclear
reactors and atomic bombs.
Gamma rays are often used in the food industry. The radioisotopes
preserve foods. Although the rays never come in contact with the food, Beta
radiation kills various organisms such as bacteria, yeast, and insects. Gamma
rays are sometimes used in science. They are used to detect Beryllium. They also
played a very important role in the development of the atomic bomb.
Gamma .....
