... flowers and foliage (Canna 1). The use of this plant was natural for people in the south because it was readily available. Being around big happy plants all the time helps people in the south happy by giving them something to take their mind off of life for a while. Garden Geraniums may reach the size of a bush in warm, dry climates (Garden Geranium 1). Again, the bright colored flowers make any bouquet of flowers complete. It is very hard to get any Geraniums to grow in short and cold growing seasons, like in the Pacific Northwest. It was very easy to grow and pick the beautiful flowers in the south. Wisteria ...

... our ancient seas. The project recreated the, what was believed to be, simple atmosphere and hydrosphere on our primitive Earth in a sealed glass ecosystem. This ecosystem had a bulb, which contained an amount of water with hydrogen, nitrogen, and simple carbon compounds dissolved in them. These various elements were believed to either formed with the Earth or were picked up by the many meteoric collisions that immediately following the formation of our planet. The bulb had a heating unit under it to stimulate evaporation, then there was a smaller bulb that contained electrodes, simulating lightning and other sta ...

... continents fit together nicely, and it would solve many of the earth's mysteries, people still rejected the idea that the continents moved for several reasons. Ignorance and strong religious beliefs played a part in this, but it was mainly rejected because of the lack of a good explanation for the movement of the continents. Wegener's theory for the movement of continents was called continental drift. This was not believable at the time because there was no way the continents could move through the rigid ocean floor. During WWII, people started to explore the ocean floor and discovered evidence that would prove W ...

... and experimental method in getting the resultant. A force table, weight holders, a set of slotted masses (200g and 249g), ruler, protractor, spring scale and triple beam balance were used. Each group has its own assigned mass and forces as well as a force table. Weight hangers were attached to two strings tied to the center ring of the force table, where two slotted masses, one 200g and the other 249g were hung according to their specified directions. The center ring was anchored to the nail positioned at the platform’s center while the upper ring of the spring scale was attached to the free end of the third ...

... have related but distinct disorders (Edelson, 1995). There is no known specific cause for , but over the years there has been a growing focus on biological etiology. Combinations of psychotherapeutic and medical treatments, as well as comprehensive educational treatment provide the best care and placement of both adults and children afflicted with . Adult psychotic disturbances were noted in the early twentieth-century classifications of mental disorders (Nelson, Israel, 1997). The descriptions and classifications of these disturbances, however, were confusing and controversial. Kraeplin set the basis for moder ...

... control the growth and functions of the cell. These cells eventually become abnormal growths and can be recognized as not normal tissue. These traits are passed down as the cell reproduces therefore spreading the cancer. Neoplasms are generally classified into two groups: malignant and benign. Malignant tumors, or abnormal tissue, grow more rapidly than benign tissue and they invade normal tissue. Benign tissue is structured similar to normal tissue while malignant tissue is abnormal and has an unstructured appearance. Of greater importance, benign tissue does not metastasize, or begin to grow in other sites, like ...

... 1989, my family and I were on vacation in Fort Myers, Florida. We drove from Trenton, New Jersey all the way to Florida where my grandfather lived. It was a long trip to undergo, especially being six years old and knowing that my father never stopped the car. By the time we arrived at Fort Myers, it was a beautiful sunny day. The wind was gusting enough to pull my hair back, and I was admiring the palm trees, coconuts, and lizards near the Gulf of Mexico. The first few days were nice, but little did I know that I would soon be caught in the middle of a twister. I can clearly remember being in the car on a humid day w ...

... are already stressing the earth’s ecosystems. How much more the earth can take remains a very heated issue. Here a look at the facts sheds some very dark light. In 1950, there were 2.5 billion people, while today there are 5.8 billion. There may well be 10 billion people on earth before the middle of the next century. Even more significant, on an ecological level, is the rise in per capita energy and material consumption which, in the last 40 years, has soared faster than the human population. “An irresistible economy seems to be on a collision course with an immovable ecosphere.� Based on these facts a ...

... problems with the microphone is that when someone talks the "p" and "s" sounds come out. Condenser microphones are becoming more and more intricate. First of all many microphones contain little batteries about the size of a hearing aid. The batteries last a very long time. The television field uses around four kinds of microphones as basic equipment; the hand-held omnidirectional, the tiny lavalier mic, which is used by clipping on clothing, a wireless microphone called the transmitter mic, and the shotgun mic. The Omnidirectional Microphone comes in many different shapes and sizes. They are used when the backg ...

... radiation of that early stage rapidly expanded and cooled. Several million years later, it condensed into galaxies. The universe has continued to expand, and the galaxies have continued moving away from each other ever since. Today the universe is still expanding, as astronomers have observed. The Steady State model says that the universe does not evolve or change in time. There was no beginning in the past, nor will there be change in the future. This model assumes the perfect cosmological principle. This principle says that the universe is the same everywhere on the large scale, at all times.2 It maintains the sa ...
