Cloning
... of another which creates a genetically matched life form. The actual merging process between the cells is called Nuclear Transfer. In this process the nucleus of one donor cell is removed and placed into a lab dish and starved of nutrients; it is then placed into a lab dish with a fertilized egg cell. Naturally, the cell that was starved will try to fuse with the healthy cell but it will need a little help. These two cells are then electrified thereby causing the two cells to fuse together combining their genetic structures.

The Depletion Of Ozone Layer
... Far above the earth, ozone forms naturally as oxygen produced from living things moves from the troposphere, the layer of air nearest to the earth surface, to the stratosphere. Air in the stratosphere absorbs solar energy, or heat from the sun, which in turn creates a photochemical reaction that produces ozone – a benefit to the environment since ozone protects people, plants, and animals from harmful radiation.
The ozone layer is important because it absorbs most of the damaging ultra-violet radiation from the sun before it reaches ground level, where it can cause sun burn, skin cancer and cataracts. Researc ...

Manic Depression
... of a manic one. During a depressive episode, the person is sad, irritable, has low self-esteem, negative thoughts, and loss of interest in usual activities. They feel like they’re worthless and hopeless. They also have negative thoughts towards the past and future. Many people go
through guilt, crying, or having suicidal thoughts. Unlike a manic episode, the person has lack of energy, and either an appetite loss or gain.
is a recurrent illness, so a person usually has more than one episode. These episodes can last from weeks to months. They occur whenever and have no certain pattern. Sometimes a stressf ...

Could Gambling Save Science: Encouraging An Honest Consensus
... a visible, self-consistent consensus on
controversial (or routine) scientific questions. In addition, it allows
patrons to choose questions to be researched without choosing people or
methods. The bulk of this paper is spent examining potential problems with
the proposed approach. After this examination, the idea still seems
plausible and worth further study.
INTRODUCTION
After reviewing the discrepancy between what we want from academic
institutions and what we get from current institutions, a market-based
alternative called "idea futures" is suggested. It is described through
both a set of specific scenar ...

David Levinson: Seasons' Of A Man's Life
... business executives or industrial laborers. The
biographical interviews lasted one or two hours and ranged from six to ten
interviews for each subject. The questions asked focused on the subject's life
accounts in their post adolescent years. The interviews focused on topics such
as the men's background (education, religion, political beliefs) and major
events or turning points in their lives.
Levinson's concept of life structure (the men's socio-cultural world,
their participation in their world and various aspects of themselves) is the
major component in Levinson's theory. The life structure for ...

Role Of Government Intervention In Environmental Issues
... from the New York Times entitled
RU.S. Seeking Options of Pollution RulesS. Although pollution is detrimental to
our environment, you have to take into account that it is almost impossible to
entirely prevent pollution. This is scientifically impossible and it would have
severely negative economic impact on the industries. So the core issue becomes
the fact no matter what, there will always be pollution, as long as these
industries exist. So we should focus on how we can minimize this and yet at the
same time have an efficient market system? Furthermore, we should also focus on
how we can accomplish this so t ...

Creation Versus Evolution
... here in Arizona whether or not some class time should be dedicated to the presentation of theories that dispute those of Darwin (Nowicki). The scientific society, a neutral party, and the Christian community all have their opinions and insight regarding this matter.
Evolutionists feel strongly about their stance on the issue of presenting creationism to America's classroom. They feel that by bringing this medium into schools, the Christians will be able to "further advance their various agendas" (Flank) by forcing their religious beliefs on students who do not believe in God, or in the same god. This is where ...

Hemp - Miricale Plant
... this plant has recently been proven to relieve nausea in AIDS and cancer therapy. It has been used with success in treating glaucoma, asthma, epilepsy, mood disorders, and arthritis. It increases appetite, promotes sleep and relaxation, and relieves stress and migraines. Most importantly, fossil fuels could stay in the ground. The plant produces far more and safer chemical compounds suitable for conversion to methane than any other plant. This renewable fuel contains no sulfur and while growing helps remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere via photosynthesis. For thousands of years, all good paints and varnishes ...

Carnivorous Plants

several different species are often found growing almost side by side. They are
most likely to be found in swamps, bogs, damp heaths and muddy or sandy shores.
Drosophyllum lusitanicum from Portugal and Morocco is the one exception, it
grows on dry gravelly hills. Like other green plants, carnivorous plants
contain the organic pigment chlorophyll. This pigment helps to mediate a
chemical process called photosynthesis. This converts light energy into the
chemical bond energy of carbohydrate which is utilized as cellular energy, plant
growth and development. Water, carbon dioxide, nutrients and minera ...

Oceans
... great a world for our children as it was for us.
First, we need to understand that the oceans are not the vast resources
that we believe them to be, but just vulnerable natural resources. Before
Columbus' day, the ocean were thought to be boundless. Although Columbus proved
this theory incorrect, the thought still remains in today's societies. “For we
of the 20th century still treat the ocean as the endless, bottomless pit it was
considered to be in medieval times.”(Heyerdahl) The majority of the world's
population still lives under the misconception that the ocean is a hungry abyss,
eager to devour all t ...
