Global Warming
... makes the earth's weather and climate, and heats the earth; in return. Greenhouse gases (water vapor, carbon dioxide, and other gases) trap some of the energy that leaves, botteling heat like the glass panels of a greenhouse.
Without this natural "greenhouse effect," temperatures would be alot lower than they are now, and life like today would not work. Instead, thanks to greenhouse gases, the earth's average temperature is better, 60°F. But, problems may happen when the amount of
greenhouse gases increases.
Since the beginning of the industrial revolution, great amounts of carbon dioxide ha ...

Hemp
... weighing its
power and influence on the natural and manmade worlds. We've found ourselves
sitting on the global fence between our magliomaniacal brother to the south and
our staunch traditionalist motherland to the east. From this division of powers
and alliances we find ourselves locked into a self-induced ignorance and
stifling conservatism. It's ironic that we have the opportunity to solve most
of Canada's critical environmental issues in one fell swoop . . . with one
simple plant. It is ignorance and the maintenance of the status quo that has
blinded and crippled our ability to realize this resource.

Bang, The Life Cycle Begins
... the life of the universe. You would think of this as the end, but only an explosion is needed to wake up and give life to a new universe. Therefore, trapped forever in the cycle of rebirth.
As humans we also travel through a cycle of rebirth according to the Hindu religion. We are all trapped on the Wheel of Samsara trying to break free. It is only possible to escape through the laws of Karma. Karma is simply how you act in this life determines what you are after your rebirth. For example, if you live each life being the best Hindu you possible can eventually your soul or Atman will be released and ...

Ehrlich's Population Bomb
... of how mass
starvation is inevitable if population continues to increase the way it is
currently. In third world countries their food supplies are becoming
increasingly scarce because of their increasing populations. In these third
world countries the rich-poor gap is increasing creating the potential for large
parts of the population to starve. Paraphrasing Ehrlich's ideas in chapter can
be explained as; there is only so many resources and as population increases
those resources will soon be depleted. Ehrlich uses historical population
research to lead to the conclusion that in 90 years the population could b ...

The Element Cesium
... Cesium compounds. Once the knowledge of Cesium compounds was discovered, the study of it’s chemical properties was initiated.
Perhaps the most dynamic chemical reaction of Cesium occurs when it is exposed to oxygen. This exposure causes oxides to form, where even the heat from oxidation is enough to melt and ignite this metal. Another major reaction of Cesium occurs with water and ice. Ice with a temperature as low as -177 degrees Fahrenheit can trigger a vigorous reaction. Because Cesium reacts so violently with organic compounds, it is considered the most reactive of Alkali metals. There are four principle ...

Endangered Species 2
... rate of captive breeding of the Giant Pandas. This has proved to be quite a challenge, all the more so since pandas are only receptive to breeding for a very brief period in late spring or early summer. Research efforts have, however, paid off. Since 1991 natural mating has resulted in eight births at the Wolong centre.
In addition to experience gained over the years at Wolong, the recent success of births can be attributed to improved cooperation between China's Ministry of Forestry and the country's zoos involved in panda breeding, as well as to an exchange of information and technology between Chinese and western ...

The Effects Of Foreign Species Introduction On An Ecosystem
... and the
biodiversity in the ecosystem is reduced. The carrying capacity is also reduced
because the ecosystem will not be capable of supporting the same amount of life.
If one species hogs the food and does not contribute itself to the food chain,
the balance is disrupted and there will be less available for the native species.
Once the new species has found its ecological niche however, balance begins to
restore itself.
When the biodiversity in the ecosystem is reduced, the ability of the
ecosystem to grow, or the biotic potential, is as well reduced. More species
residing in an ecosystem which depend on each o ...

Acid Base Extraction
... parts of benzoic acid(strong acid) and 2-naphthanol(weak base) and 1,4-
dimethoxybenzene(neutral) by extracting from tert-butylmethyl ether(very
volatile).The goal of this experiment was to identify the three components in
the mixture and to determine the percent recovery of each from the mixture.
4) Separation of a Neutral and Basic Substance
A mixture of equal parts of a neutral substance containing either
naphthalene or benzoin and a basic substance containing either 4-chloroaniline
or ethyl 4-aminobenzoate were to be separated by extraction from an ether
solution. Once the separation took place, and cr ...

Genetic Cloning
... and many issues surrounding it must be addressed. These issues and the positive and negative influences on our society will be discussed herein, concentrating on selective breeding, genetic engineering, the identity of ‘clones’, enhanced cell growth products and production of spare body parts.
Firstly, selective breeding throughout the ages has served humanity in many ways. The origins of cloning lie in the agricultural history of humanity. Therefore the perceived gap between cloning and our nature are not so distant, as cloning has been the means by which humankind has cultivated flora for a millennia. In a ...

Sickle Cell Anemia

1910, Dr. Herrick was the first person to publish a medical report on . As the report accumulated, a patter emerged. In 1926, Dr. Thomas P. Cooley and Dr. P. Lee described two forms of sickle cell disease: and sickle cell trait. During 1945, Dr. Linus Pauling discovered that an abnormal form of hemoglobin was the reason for the sickness in sickle cell patients. These two t ...
