Term Papers on Science
Charles Darwin And Richard Owen
Number of words: 3241 - Number of pages: 12.... Owen. Through Barclay's
recommendation of Owen to John Abernathy, President of the Royal College of Surgeons, Owen was granted
membership to the Royal College in 1826. Owen was later appointed assistant in the cataloging of a collection
containing thirteen thousand specimens (known as the Hunterian Collection (Rupke 17)). It was probably this that
lead Owen interest in the field of anatomy, which eventually lead him into becoming a naturalist. By 1836, he
published anatomical work on the Memoir on the Pearly Nautilus (Rupke 119). Within a year, he was g .....

Experimental Protein
Number of words: 3276 - Number of pages: 12.... on their molecular weight of three solutions. Using the polyacrilamide electrophoresis, proteins were separated based on their molecular weight. Extraction buffer did not produce protein bands. Proteins with huge molecular weight did not travel far from the gel while low molecular weight proteins traveled long distance . Overall banding contrast was compared between same sample with different transferred volumes. The protein bands of ADH were closely related to some of the bands of liver protein extract. ADH, which is derived from horse contains some of t .....

Weather Forecasting
Number of words: 968 - Number of pages: 4.... predictions for all of the world
through satellite imagery for all countries. Also in recent history many local
television and radio stations have made private forecasts for small areas.
Meteorologists are people who interpret the weather, the reason I don't
say predict the weather is because even though all forecasters have the same
information and data at their fingertips, the way that they interpret what is in
front of them can be different. Meteorologists receive information from various
sources, but their interpretation of the data determines the ac .....

Stephen J. Hawking By Rachel Finck
Number of words: 1564 - Number of pages: 6.... that it has enhanced
his career by giving him the freedom to think about physics and the Universe.
Stephen Hawking has written many essays involving the unified theory,
which is a theory summarizing the entire of the physical world; a theory that
would stand as a complete, consistent theory of the physical interactions that
would describe all possible observations. Our attempts at modeling physical
reality normally consists of two parts: a) A set of local laws that are obeyed
by the various physical quantities, formulated in terms of differential
equations, a .....

Oxygen
Number of words: 752 - Number of pages: 3.... of methanol and ammonia. High-purity oxygen is used also in the metal-
fabrication industries; in liquid form it is of great importance as a propellant
for guided missiles and rockets2.
I have chosen the element "Oxygen" because without Oxygen, human beings
would not be able to live. Oxygen is probably the single most important element
in the world as we know it. With out Oxygen we would not breath, have water, eat
plants.
Oxygen's Electron configuration is 1S2 + 2S2 + 2P4, it's electron dot
symbol is: .
Gaseous oxygen can be condensed to a pa .....

Genetic Engineering And Its Fu
Number of words: 1735 - Number of pages: 7.... reason behind this is that we don't just do research in order to infect and kill off the mice, we do it so one day we will have a cure for cancer and can save hundreds of thousands of human lives. Of course if you value the life of a mouse over a human then you would see differently. Some fear that this science is too powerful, granted we shouldn't let just anyone be able to modify bacteria, or the human genome, but we shouldn't let our fears blind us to the possible benefits of wide-scale genetic engineering.
Medical uses for this technology are virtually endl .....

Solar Cells
Number of words: 1165 - 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 .....

Multi-regional Continuity: The Fossil Evidence
Number of words: 1080 - Number of pages: 4.... foreheads, large cranial volume (above 1200 cc.), low prognathism in the area of the lower face, and a high, vaulted shape in the area of the cranium. “Archaic” features in skull morphology include thick cranial walls, heavy supraorbital ridges, large teeth, large eye sockets, sloping foreheads, low cranial volume (below 1200 cc.), high prognathism in the area of the lower face, and a small, football-shaped cranium. The presence of various mixtures of these modern and archaic traits forms the basis for identifying a fossil as transitional modern .....
