Cloning And Its Implications
... purposes of cloning be? Are some purposes just, while others are not? Cloning leads to many doubts and concerns, but for some people cloning is seen in hope and faith.
The reasons behind cloning may be extremely different. Medical departments see cloning as a way of providing needed organs such as the heart and lung. Doctors might also view cloning as a way to find cures for diseases such as aids and cancer. Should people be created for the purpose of dying? Many people believe it is unjust to use animals for testing various products for humans, such as makeup and shampoo. Creating life for the simple purpose of inje ...

Soil Salinity
... of water from the topsoil to the groundwater, due to
rainfall or irrigation, can result in a dramatic rise in groundwater pressure
and watertable levels.
The trees of the open forests are now replaced by shallow-rooted crops and
pastures which absorb far less water than the native trees. Those trees had been
massive water pumps, sucking up moisture from deep underground and putting it
back into the atmosphere through the evaporation from their leaves. With those
pumps gone, excess rainfall accumulates underground and watertables rise to the
surface, bringing ancient sediments of salt with them, often in heavy
conc ...

Polymers
... titanium in tensile strength. To add strength and improve flexibility, are sometimes fortified with short-fiber additives, mostly fiberglass. This is known as a polymer composite. One particular polymer has three times the strength of tempered steel and is being used in bullet proof vests. Another composite will be used to fasten together the sections proposed space stations. have also been used in cars, including the Chevrolet Camaro and the Pontiac Fiero. New are being created with more strength and flexibility by combing two chemically different and producing a block copolymer. Combinations of block co and com ...

The Tiger
... lie in a quiet pool of
water to escape the heat. Tigers like water, and are very good swimmers.
Northern Tigers undertake long migrations. These migrations occur when epidemics
wipe out the prey populations. This type of migrations happens often.
Temperatures down to -45 degrees Celsius are not harmful and do not dampen their
activities ( Mammals Multimedia Encyclopedia 1990).
Tigers usually live and hunt alone. When they hunt they can leap 5 to 6
or jump as far as 10 meters. Tigers do not usually prey on people, but some do
become man eaters. If a Tiger becomes a man eater it is because of a wound,
weakness, ...

Life On Other Planets?
... physical and chemical laws of the universe (Chandler, 3).
It is clear to present day scientists that the possibility of life
flourishing in outer space relies on favorable conditions or environments
within a given area in a solar system. There is even some present day proof
that life can flourish in some not so favorable environments as found with
the development of algae on many of Earth's deep sea thermal vents, as well
as bacteria that lives beneath the Earth's icy polar tundra's in the arctic
and Antarctic. George W. Wetherill even notes that “Even if a planet or
moon could not support life globally, eac ...

... total), 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
current can send them thousands of kilometres from the source.When the acids
fall to the earth in any form it will have large impact on the growth or the
preservation of certain wildlife.

substances as limestone or other known antacids can neutralize acids en ...

The Landsats Satellites
... operations of the Landsat Satellite system were transferred to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The EROS Data Center (EDC) has managed the Landsat data archive for more then two decades. It provides an impressive collection of information about the Earth’s land surface.
The SPOT satellites carry two High-Resolution Visible (HRV) sensors capturing visible and near-infrared radiance data with multispectral and panchromatic scanning capabilities. The multispectral mode captures data in three bands in the following spectral ranges: .50-.59, .61-.68 and .79-.89 micrometers. The three ban ...

Bernoulli Principle
... a wing is elevated or declined. When the angle of attack is between 1 and 20 degrees, the most lift is generated. To find the lift generated by a particular area of wing in a standard airfoil shape, a teardrop with the fat end facing forward, the equation L=Cl 1/2 (pV2)S. Cl is the lift coeficent, which is determined by the shape of the airfoil and the angle of attack. P stands for the air mass density, V for the velocity of the air passing over the wing, and S for the area of the wing when viewed from above or below.
As the air flows over the wing producing lift, it grabs onto the wings surface and causes dra ...

Creation Or Evolution?
... of supernatural forces or dieties. Nearly all modern scientists who are not Evangelical Christians believe in evolution.
Biblical creationists are also called literal creationists, because they interpret the two Genesis accounts of creation in the Bible literally and believe that the Bible is without error. They believe that the "day" mentioned in Genesis 1 signifies a normal 24 hour day. According to this creation the universe was established in six days. Biblical creationists interpret most sedimentary rocks as products of Noah's flood. The majority believes that the earth is under 10,000 years of age. ...

Bats
... seem to fly but actually glide the bat is the only mammal that
can truly fly (Lauber 1).
A Bat’s Body
Due to the great variety of species of bats some characteristics vary
greatly but the Little Brown Bat is a good example of a bat. It has fur on its
body, large naked ears, its rear legs have claws, it has a tail membrane, and
it has the most distinguishing feature of a bat, wings (Lauber 9). The upper
arm of the bat is short while the forearm is very long. The wrist is very
small and from it comes the thumb and the four longer fingers. The thumb is
short and used for climbing or walking. The fing ...
