Ehrlich's Population Bomb
Number of words: 1362 - Number of pages: 5.... for large
parts of the population to starve. Paraphrasing Ehrlich's ideas in chapter can
be explained as; there is only so many resources and as population increases
those resources will soon be depleted. Ehrlich uses historical population
research to lead to the conclusion that in 90 years the population could be well
over the earths carrying capacity. In third world countries where population
control is rarely used population, pollution, and scarcity are becoming ever
increasing problems. Roughly 40% of the population in third world countries are
ch .....

Epilepsy Oral
Number of words: 1060 - Number of pages: 4.... Paralyzed and Epileptics in London and proved Hippocrates' theory that epilepsy is a brain malfunction.
Still, the 19th century health care systems in Europe isolated people with epilepsy and forced them to live in colonies away from society. Until as late as the 1950¡¦s, people rarely talked about their epilepsy and therefore hid the disorder from the public.
While there are some recognized causes to epilepsy the vast majority of cases have no known cause. In cases where the cause is known it is called Symptomatic Epilepsy. Fewer than thirty-five percent of .....

Mitochondria 2
Number of words: 752 - Number of pages: 3.... does not even allow the passage of small ions and so it maintains a closed space within the cell. The many infoldings of the cristae are responsible for providing the mitochondrion with a large surface area which enhances the productivity of respiration.
The inner membrane and outer membrane effectively divide the mitochondria into two internal compartments. The space located between the outer and inner mitochondrial membrane is called the intermembrane space. The space enclosed by the inner membrane is called the mitochondrial matrix. It is here that man .....

The Stroop Phenomenon
Number of words: 995 - Number of pages: 4.... words if they have been categorized and for pictures if they have been
named. Experiment 3 showed the same results as the previous two
experiments. The fourth experiment, with the introduction of less common
objects, subjects could name the words faster than generating a category
name for the words. Naming pictures are prone to interference when
incongruent words are presented simultaneously. Word naming is not as much
influenced by distracting pictures. Pictures and words differ in the
amount of information to be filtered out, to get the correct respons .....

Dangers Of Methyl Bromide
Number of words: 475 - Number of pages: 2.... There have been enough sicknesses and fatalities directly related to the use of methyl bromide for the phase out of the pesticide to be considered a worldwide emergency.
The producers and users of the substance argue that phasing out the pesticide will cause will be economically disastrous, but clearly their view does not take into account the devastating effect on the ozone layer and the health of humans by the use of this deadly fumigant, the cost to the community far out ways the cost to the users.
So what is the alternative? There is no one single al .....

Nuclear Energy
Number of words: 1733 - Number of pages: 7.... repels the
slower moving protons and electrons, then gathers the neutrons and pulls them
inward. While all these atoms are flying about they smash together then split
many of many times, this is when the reactor grabs and pulls in the frictional
energy to be processed into electrical watts.
This usually causes heat or thermal energy, this must be removed by some
kind of a coolant. Most power plants use water or another type of liquid based
formula. these coolants are always base related, never acidic. Very few use
gas related coolants in there reactors, th .....

Decomposition
Number of words: 253 - Number of pages: 1.... below. Product Weight Before Weight After Mass of Test tube +
KClO4 41.5g 39.8g Mass of Test tube 37.5g 37.5 Mass of KClO4
4.0g 2.3g 2. Set up the apparatus shown below.
3. Gently heat the test tube containing the potassium perchlorate. Gas should
begin to collect in the collection bottle. Record all observation. 4. Once the
reaction is complete, no more gas give off, allow the test tube to cool. While
the test tube is cooling test the gas in the collection bottle with glowing
splint. Caution: Do not leave the rubber tubing down in the water trough during
cooling or you will experience back-up. .....

Diamonds
Number of words: 477 - Number of pages: 2.... For example Nitrogen causes it to have a yellow tint , and Boron a blue shade. The pink color in some are thought to be caused by deformation of the atomic structure of the diamond crystal. A pure Diamond , which would be 100% carbon, is colorless
were created million years ago, when the earth was formed, the material experienced pressure of 5million times the atmosphere at sea level and temperatures between 1000~1200degreesC. These conditions caused carbon in the layers inside the planet to crystallize into . The moved up to the earth’s surface through volca .....
