Number of words: 1618 - Number of pages: 6.... accented with white. Tigers that live in cold climates (Siberian tigers) have thicker fur than tigers that live in warm climates.

Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)
Number of words: 697 - Number of pages: 3.... In addition over the last two
decades the percentage increase of CFCs in the atmosphere has been higher
than any other greenhouse gas. By 1990 the increase was 4-12% a year.
CFCs also destroy ozone - itself a greenhouse gas - their net
effect on climate is unclear. The strength of the indirect effect of ozone
depletion depends on variables such as temperature of the upper atmosphere
and cannot yet be measured with any confidence. According to new research,
however, it is possible that the indirect effect of CFCs cancels out some
or all of the direct .....

Aids 4

For these reasons, the disease spread in the gay male population of this country immensely more quickly than in other populations. It became to be thought of as a "gay disease". Because the disease is spread primarily by exposure of ones blood to infected blood or semen, I.V. drug addicts who shared needles were soon identified as an affected group. As the AIDS epidemic began to affect increasingly large fractions of those two populations (gay males and IV drug abusers), many of the rest of this society looke .....

These problems hurt AMD because nobody wanted a CPU that could not run 15% of the programs out. People wanted a processor that had programs optimized specifically for it, people wanted a computer with a sticker that said "Intel Inside" because they knew every program would run on it. If people wanted a cheap solution then they went with the low-cost AMD CPU and faced incompatibility problems with a lot of programs. But most people were willing to spend the money to ge .....

Regular exercise may also lower your cholesterol and blood pressure, and reduce the risk of diabetes.
Exercise increases the size of coronary arteries and reduce clogging due to atherosclerosis. Exercise also increases the efficiency of your blood's oxygen-carrying capacity and your muscles' uptake of oxygen .....

been the first to conduct demonstrations with live animals--specifically pigs-a
practice later extended to other species and termed "vivisection" (Loew, 1982).
However, it was not until the sixteenth century that many experiments on animals
began to be recorded. In 1628, William Harvey published his work on the heart
and the movement of blood in animals (French, 1975). In the 18OOs, when France
became one of the leading centers of experimental biology and medicine-marked by
the work of such scientists as Francis Magend .....
