Male Pattern Baldness
Number of words: 324 - Number of pages: 2.... is produced) that have genetic receptor sites.
usually is a symmetrical disease, so if there is a non-symmetrical area of baldness, it is not the cause of androgenic alopecia. The typical pattern begins of occur at the hairline, then over time forms an “M”. The crown also begins to become thinner, as does the existing hair. Eventually, the “m” meets the thinned crown and forms the most common bald shape, the horseshoe.
Currently, there are no treatments for male pattern baldness, so the condition is permanent. But, no treatment s .....

Mitochondria
Number of words: 928 - Number of pages: 4.... is a semi-autonomous organelles containing the
machinery for the production of some of its own proteins. The main function of
the mitochondrion is the oxidation of the pyruvate derived from glycolysis and
related processes to produce the ATP required to perform cellular work.(Campbell
182-9)
Pyruvate, or fatty acids from the breakdown of triglycerides or
phospholipids, pass easily through pores in the outer mitochondrial membrane
made up of a channel protein called porin. The inner membrane is a more
significant barrier and specific transport proteins e .....

Center Of Gravity
Number of words: 958 - Number of pages: 4.... of gravity is how
an airplane flies. If the center of gravity is too far forward, the plane
will have an unstable equilibrium and in turn will take a nose dive into
the ground. If the center of gravity is too far aft (back) the plane will
fall out of control.
You must limit the weight and its positioning on board the aircraft
to prevent these occurrences from happening. The engineers design an
airplane so that it has a maximum weight capacity of passengers, cargo,
fuel, and etc... The engineers design an airplane so that the center of
gravity must stay within .....

Remotely Operated Vehicles
Number of words: 278 - Number of pages: 2.... some usually have an on board camera. ROV's have been
used for the last thirty years. They have been doing tasks that divers can't, do
to Economical and safety reasons.
A Submersible is a piece of machinery designed to do an underwater function.
Submersible's and rov's are important to Marine biologists so they can study
underwater creatures. Geologists can use them to find out more about the
evolution of the Earth by studying the ocean floor. The ocean holds some
minerals that are becoming scarce on the Earth's surface. If we can set up
mining stations under the water it would also provide many jobs. .....

Is There A Light At The End Of The Tunnel
Number of words: 1451 - Number of pages: 6.... says that, "As much as 80-90% of our doctors' offices are not compliant. 64% of hospitals still have serious problems with the Y2K issues," (Senate Y2K Report Wendy Griffith). The senate also believes that they will affect Medicare, power companies, banks, and stocks.
People now believe that they must remove their money from the banks. This is true, but most of them are waiting until the end of the year to do this. If everyone goes to the bank simultaneously to remove their money, then they will cause an automatic depression. The banks do not have all of the m .....

Computer Viruses
Number of words: 3907 - Number of pages: 15.... mostly due to the loss of time spent recovering the infected data. A computer virus in a system is one of the worst things that can happen to a computer user. Still, many specialists insist that it is possible to use the replication mechanism of for some useful and beneficial purposes. In this paper I will examine the question of why computer users consider to be a bad thing and why they reject the idea of having a computer virus serve a good purpose. I will also explore the military point of view with regard to . This paper is based in large part on a resear .....

Cd Roms
Number of words: 1257 - Number of pages: 5.... information onto the hard drive. The needle writes by the magnetic force that pushes it down on to the disk. Once it is on the hard drive , whenever you turn on your computer the information is always there for you when you need it.
A CD:ROM looks like a music compact disk , but they are not that much alike. First a CD:ROM has a lot more information than a regular compact disk. A CD:ROM has audio as well as visual information. Second a CD:ROM stores more data in it. Third if you put a CD:ROM in a compact disk player the compact disk player would just sit th .....

Oil Spills
Number of words: 1362 - Number of pages: 5.... are too heavy. You flap and flap but it is hopeless. Sinking to the bottom of the beautiful waters, you wonder what that sticky black killer was. It's simple. It's crude. It's oil.
This scenario is nothing but a harsh reality that most people were unconcerned about until the disaster of the Exxon Valdez. The Valdez spill, tragically unnecessary though it was, has served as a laboratory for scientists, in which they can study the effects of oil pollution and experiment with new cleanup methods. It has also served as a costly lesson in the pitfalls of p .....
