The Effects Of Ultra-Violet Rays On The Body
... wear sunscreen. This sunscreen can protect your body from longer than it can normally last out in the sun. Depending on the person and the SPF of the sunscreen, you can stay as long it says you can. For example, if you usually start to burn after about 20 minutes, SPF 2 protects you for about 40 minutes. IF you are a dark individual you can get by with lower SPF than people with lighter skin can. Most doctors agree that SPF 15 is the best because there isn’t enough sunlight for a need to have higher SPF.
Minimizing the effects on the skin and eyes of the sun’s UV rays is easy. When you are out side in the ...

Asbestos: Helpful Aspects Vs. Harmful Effects
... Asbestos is used to
make corrosive and flame resistant fabrics such as the production of brake
linings and fire proof clothes (“Asbestos” 3,4). Asbestos properties
include easy access and availability, durability, tensile strength yet
flexible, and thereby produce many useful products. According to the
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), “there are six types
of asbestos fibers: Chrysotile, Amosite, Crocidolite, Anthophylite,
Actinolite, and Tremolite” (8). OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health
Administration) has categorized asbestos work into four different classes
depending on the amount ...

AIDS And You
... In this
essay I hope to present this information. History and Overview:
AIDS stands for Acquired Immune Defficiency Disease. It is caused by a virus.
The disease originated somewhere in Africa about 20 years ago. There it
first appeared as a mysterious ailment afflicting primarily heterosexuals of
both sexes. It probably was spread especially fast by primarily female
prostitutes there. AIDS has already become a crisis of STAGGERING proportions
in parts of Africa. In Zaire, it is estimated that over twenty percent of
the adults currently carry the virus. That figure is increasing. And w ...

Dreams
... and gradually change from
the sub-conscious mind to the conscious mind. This is called lucid dreaming.
With this you can take partial control of what happens during a dream.
Since you can do this you don't have to be restricted to do all the things
you do in real life but you could do whatever you like because it's your
mind that's controlling you not your body and gravity. For example, you
could fly or walk through walls.
The powers of dreams
The dreaming world could be a very powerful thing so much so that
it causes a baby to be born because of lucid dreaming. In a true story
taken from the book called Living w ...

Antibiotic Resistance In Bacteria
... more
it will decrease the effect it has on you. That is because the bacteria has
found a way to avoid the effects of that antibiotic. Another cause of
resistance is the improper use of drugs. When patients feel that the symptoms
of their disease have improved, they often stop taking the drug. Just because
the symptoms have disappeared it does not mean the disease has gone away.
Prescribed drugs should be taken until all the medicine is gone so the disease
is completely finished. If it is not, then this will just give the bacteria
some time to find a way to avoid the effects of the drug.
One antibiotic that wil ...

Creatine Supplements And Athletes
... proposed. These side effect, most all be negative, have never been documented in scientific literature. Athletes ranging from high school to the Olympics have reported tremendous improvements in anaerobic events and gains of fat-free mass from creatine supplementation. Creatine supplementation works in the real world. With the overwhelming evidence from theory to application, creatine supplementation does improve body composition and athletic performance.
Creatine is derived from the amino acids arginine, glycine and methionine. It can be produced in your liver, pancreas and kidneys or can be obtained from a di ...

Down Syndrome
... by combining fluorescence hybridization, and Southern blot dosage analysis, therefore mapping out the chromosomal makeup of Down's patients. Their research revealed abnormalities on the twenty first pair of chromosomes. With the new research findings, Down's syndrome was traced to it's source, an error in cell development and the mutation of autosomal cells which results in three major types of Down's syndrome.
Trisomy 21, involves the presence of extra genetic material on the twenty first pair resulting from an anomaly in cell division during the development of egg or sperm during fertilization. About 95% of ...

Anorexia Nervosa
... begin to diet in order to lose just a few pounds. But, they don't stop dieting there, and an abnormal concern with dieting is established. Nobody knows what triggers the disease process, but suddenly, losing five to ten pounds is not enough, the anorectic patients becomes intent on losing weight. It is not uncommon for someone who develops the disorder to starve itself, until she weighs just 60 or 70 pounds. Throughout the starvation process, the patients either deny being hungry or claim to have full stomach after eating just a few bites.
This disease occurs at any stage of development, but emerges first in adolesc ...

"To See What Factors Affect The Decomposition Of Hydrogen Peroxide By The Enzyme Catalase Which Is Found In The Liver"
... peroxide is produced to kill off dangerous bacteria. The hydrogen
peroxide is broken down, so that it can not be dangerous anymore, into water
(which is given off when you perspire) and into oxygen (which can be given off
when you exhale).
A toxin like hydrogen peroxide must be broken down because if it is kept
in the body for too long it can react with cell walls and damage them or break
them down.
The variables that affect the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide are:
1. The temperature of the liver
2. The surface area of the liver
3. The pH of the hydrogen peroxide
4. The co ...

Erikson's Psychosocial Theory Of Development: Young Adults
... of
intellectual, emotional and even physical development occurs". (Gething, 1995,
p.377). As people age the progress of the developmental stages can differ, so
they have formulated to assess the progression by using two principal crisis
models. The first, are the normative crisis model and the second includes the
timing of events crisis model. The normative crisis model has been powerful in
shaping the psychology of the developmental stages as it has allowed theorists
to imply that stages of development can follow an age related time sequence.
(Gething, 1995).
The normative crisis model suggests that human devel ...
