... dubbed the Breakthrough Propulsion Physics Program. It’s director, Marc Millis, has devoted countless hours to making the department practical and efficient. He has even crafted their web page himself. Recently on his “Warp Drive, When?� Web site Millis (a scientist, and leader of NASA’s Breakthrough Physics Propulsion lab) said, "The ideal interstellar propulsion system would be one that could get you to other stars as quickly and comfortably as envisioned in science fiction. Before this can become a reality, three scientific breakthroughs are needed: discovery of a means to exceed light speed, discovery of ...

... of Stratus, Stratocumulus, and Nimbostratus clouds. Clouds with vertical growth include Cumulus and Cumulonimbus clouds. High clouds are made of ice crystals due to the cold air in the upper sky. The base of a high cloud above the surface can be anywhere from 6000-18000m in the tropics to 3000-8000m in the polar regions. Cirrus clouds are the most common of the High Cloud group. They are composed entirely of ice and consist of long, thin, wispy streamers. They are commonly known as "mare's tails" because of their appearance. Cirrus clouds are usually white and predict fair weather. Cirrostratus clouds, belonging to ...

... with a positive charge runs down the center of this cylinder. The voltage across the wire and cylinder is kept just below the point at which a spontaneous discharge, or spark, occurs. When a charged particle or gamma ray enters the tube , it ionizes a gas atom between the copper cylinder and the wire. The positive ion produced is accelerated toward the copper cylinder by the potential difference. The electron is accelerated toward the positive wire. As these new particles move toward the electrodes, they strike other atoms and form even more ion in their path. Thus an avalanche of charged particles is created a ...

... While power generating plants and industrial commercial and residential fuel combustion together contribute most of the rest. In the air, the sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides can be transformed into sulphuric acid and nitric acid, and air currents can send them thousands of kilometers from the source. When the acids fall on to the earth in any way or form it will have a large impact on the growth or the preservation of certain wildlife. Areas in Ontario mainly southern regions that are near the Great Lakes, such substances as limestone or other known antacids can neutralize acids entering the body of water th ...

... but not all isometric crystals are plain cubes. If the corners of a cube are cut off, the result is a polyhedron with six octagonal faced and eight triangular ones. Aside from the isometric system, there is also; a tetragonal, orthorhombic, monoclinic, triclinic and hexagonal system. Crystals may form when a solution of a substance evaporates. Crystals may also form when a vapor or molten substance solidifies. Allotropes are different forms of the same element. For Example, oxygen has two allotropes, normal oxygen and ozone. Pure carbon also has two allotropes, diamond and graphite. A crystal of diamond is in ...

... have different causes, and different treatments. One type of aggression is dominance-related aggression. Dominance is mainly expressed in two ways: competition over resources and self protection (Dodman 23). Dominance-related aggression is usually directed toward those who reside with the dog which makes affected dogs difficult to live with (Horwitz 42). According to Dodman, traditional treatments of dominance-related aggression include an increase in exercise, brushing up on obedience training, and ceasing to engage in any rough play or wrestling (35) . More recently, however, drugs such as Prozac have been use ...

... be seen any cloudless night, the best time being around midnight in the winter. It is named according to its location, Aurora Borealis meaning the northern lights, and Aurora Australis meaning the southern lights. The general name for both is Aurora PolarisC since both displays occur at the earth=s poles. WHAT CAUSES AN AURORA? For many years, the ideas about what causes an aurora were left to old legends and unsubstantiated theories. The inuit believed that the northern lights were the spirits of dead relatives, dancing around in the sky, while the Vikings believed that they were caused by a fire on the edge of t ...

... turtles, small alligators, pecarries, turtle eggs, tapir, and deer. When in captivity the jaguar can live up to 22 years. The closest relative to the jaguar is the leopard. The cubs of the jaguar are born with no father. The father leaves the mother after they are through mating. When they are born, the cubs are blind and weigh from 25-32 ozs. At two weeks, once their eyes open, They can begin to explore outside of the den. At one month the cubs go go outside the den and follow their mother around. When six months comes and the cubs have learned how to do things the way their mother does, they begin to hunt wi ...

... the process of experimenting with human life! We might not be able to relate to livestock but we CAN relate to humans. As President Clinton stated-"Attempting to clone a human being is unacceptably dangerous and morally unacceptable to our society..legislation must reaffirm our most cherished beliefs about the miracle of human life and the god-given individuality each person pocesses". Every person has his or her own mind. It would be cruel to make human clones without real parents, without being unique. If you were to make a copy of a human, you would not be treating that child as an individual. While m ...

... Oprah spoke with a man who had lost his nose to frostbite but was able to grow an entirely new nose from scratch just by attaching the forming skin cells and DNA to his forehead and sewing the newly grown nose back to his face. This brought to mind an article I had recently read about the dangers of scientific some advancements. Coincidentally, the article was called, “Brave New Worlds�. It stated that “Developments in the field of genetics offer the possibility of bringing all life processes under control. We must step carefully into this vast new field of science with the understanding that putting a patent ...
