Cryogenics And The Future
... 173 K to a fraction of a Kelvin above absolute zero. There are also two main sciences used in cryogenics, and they are Superconductivity and Superfluidity.
Cryogenics first came about in 1877, when a Swiss Physicist named Rasul Pictet and a French Engineer named Louis P. Cailletet liquefied oxygen for the first time. Cailletet created liquid oxygen in his lab using a process known as adiabatic expansion, which is a "thermodynamic process in which the temperature of a gas is expanded without adding or extracting heat from the gas or the surrounding system"(Vance 26). At the same time Pictet used the "Joule-Thompso ...

Robert Wright's Article "The Evolution Of Despair"
... use of first person and emotional appeal:
"Whether burdened by an overwhelming flurry of daily commitments or stifled
by a sense of social isolation; whether mired for hours in a sense of
life's pointlessness or beset for days by unresolved anxiety; whether
deprived by long workweeks from quality time with offspring or drowning in
quantity time with them – whatever the source of stress, we at times get
the feeling that modern life isn't what we were designed for" (1).
Everyone, at some point, has experienced the feelings that Wright
describes. And with the pronoun ‘we' Wright tells his r ...

Drinking Water Contamination
... in 1994 and 1995, 45 million Americans drank water from water systems that fell short of SDWA standards.[1] Adding gravity to the situation, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the EPA advised that people with weakened immune systems should consult with their doctors and consider boiling their drinking water to kill any cryptosporidium.[2]
This is just the tip of the iceberg. Some scientists believe that for every outbreak reported in the United States, another ten may be occurring.[3] One such study found that as many as one in three gastrointestinal illnesses — often chalked up to "stomach flu" — are ...

Natural Disasters
... why I have decided to take the focus of my paper towards
hurricanes. Furthermore, I am going to look at the economical affects that
hurricanes have on the United States. There are many reasons why I chose to use
this variable. The main reason is I couldn't think of another topic that fit
into e veryone's lives and had an effect on everyone.
The hurricane year is broken up into two seasons. They are referred to
as early season and late season. The early season starts June first and runs to
September 10. The late season starts on September 10 and runs to the end of
November. The date of September 10 is the midway poi ...

Theory And Research
... use of
questionnaires or during an interview. Unlike the experiment approach, the
condition and situation in a survey requires no manipulation. All the subject
have to do is to answer questions. Good quantitative research is determined by
validity and reliability of the research method used (Teevan, 1995:161).
Therefo re, the straight correlation study method used in the survey research of
"Horatio Alger lives" lack components of validity and reliability.

Comparison Of Prokaryotic And Eukaryotic Cells
... referring to the nucleus. This means the eukaryotic cells have “true” membrane-bound nuclei. Both plant and animal cells have a membrane-bound nucleus; hence, they are grouped as eukaryotic cells. The nucleus plays the same role and has the same structure in both plant and animal cells. You can see that the nucleus is present in both animal and plant cells by examining figure A and figure B.
Although the nucleus itself remains similar among both plant and animal cells, one difference lies in the positioning of the nucleus within the cell. Due to the central vacuole in a plant cell, the nucleus is usually not l ...

An Argument For Animal Research
... to argue that animals have
rights which supersede human subsistence. "For most of the past decade, the
animal-rights movement hasn't merely opposed animal research; it has
tried to destroy it." ( ¯The Wall Street Journal®, "Animals and Sickness", Page
378.) Animal rights advocates and activists generally have ethical objections
regarding treatment of animals during experimentation, but the use of animals in
research for the benefit of all people is and always will be justifiable.
Over 99 percent of all animal experiments are on rats and mice developed
expressly for laboratory use. "Less than 1 percent of ...
