Thoughts On Acid Rain
... 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.
NO DEFENSE
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 thereby protecti ...

The Mars Alive Documentary
... is also a very cool atmosphere; too cool for
the survival of civilization. Some of the countries who have made these
descriptions include the Soviet Union, Russia, and America. The Soviets
are obsessed with space travel, and always have been. They posses an ideal
vision of life on Mars. The Russians pride themselves for their excellent
space survival. Unfortunately, the country does not have the funds to
carry out their survival plans. Lastly, many believe an American flag
should be placed on the planet of Mars.
The Americans have greatly contributed to the findings on Mars;
they have helped figure out that ...

Bioremediation Of Explosives In Contaminated Soil
... TNT, RDX, and HMX are complex organic compounds made up of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and hydrogen. When combined with more conventional compost ingredients such as manures, sawdust, straw, and fruit and vegetable processing wastes, the explosives become broken down into harmless chemical forms. The Army is using composting to clean up munitions processing wastes at several of its ammunition plants, including ones in Louisiana, Wisconsin, and Oregon. At the Oregon site, composting is projected to save 2.6 million dollars compared with incinerating the contaminated soils. In addition to saving money, composting will ...

Ants, Little But Mighty
... fly high in the air and mate.
The few ant queens that survive this “marriage flight” cast
off there wings and instinctively begin to look for a spot to
start a new ant colony.
After making a nest, the young queen ant seals off the
entrance and begins to lay eggs. Some of the first batch are
eaten by the queen for nourishment. When the surviving
eggs hatch they become like larvae. After a few weeks each
larva spins a cocoon around itself and pupates. In a few
more weeks, adult workers emerge. It is their job to hunt
for food and make the nest bigger.
More workers will develop and the colony gets ve ...

Bioethics
... inoculated an eight year old boy
with pus from a diseased cow. The list goes on, and such experiments continue
even until today.
Nowadays these experiments would be ethically and legally unacceptable.
Nevertheless, there have been clear documented cases of abuse in recent times.
An example of this is the experiments conducted by Nazi doctors on prisoners in
the concentration camps during the Holocaust.
Does this mean that since there is potential for abuse, all
experimentation should be banned? This would mean that society would be
condemned to remain at the same level of knowledge (status quo)?
Bioethically spe ...

A Big Problem: Shortage Of Fish
... lawyer and former US Representative Gerry Studds to lead them in their fight by appealing straight to the US Commerce Secretary William Daley, who is in charge of fishery management. They are requesting that the water be re-opened for fishing.
Problems for concern to many, are that all the regeneration that has occurred due to the closure of these waters will all be for nothing if re-opened because the same problem will happen again. Another concern is that the equipment that is used by the fishermen to catch the scallops not only do just that, but they also pick up everything else in their path. This has an ...

Urban Heat Islands
... in rural areas. Additional city heat is given off by vehicles and
factories, as well as by industrial and domestic heating and cooling units.
At night, the solar energy, which is stored as vast quantities of heat in city
buildings and roads, is released slowly into the city. The dissipation of heat
energy is slowed and even stopped by the tall building walls that do not allow
infrared radiation to escape as readily as do the relative level surfaces of the
surrounding countryside. The slow release of heat tends to keep city
temperatures higher than those of the unpaved faster cooling areas.
On clear, still ...

Melting Pot Theory
... they eat but where they are born. total opposites. Now all Americans must be able to speak English, or at least bad English, and they must also follow the laws set fourth by out four fathers, but no two Americans are alike. Take San Francisco for example. Twenty years ago, it was the center for the hippie movement, but just down the street from Haight and Ashbury there is a place called China Town. A place placed filled with Chinese Americans, shops and temples that could be easily mistaken for buildings only found in China . In Ohio, one could meet a Caucasian farmer, a African American businessman, an Amish fam ...

Malthus' Principle Of Population: Today And The Future
... In todays world, a billion people have been added to the population and the food supply has decreased to less than 10 pounds per week per person. The typical weekly diet in the U.S. is about 17 pounds, which means a significant number of the worlds people are eating considerably less than the average of 10 pounds per week. A world population of 10 to 11 billion by mid century will have an individual allocation of 6 to 7 pounds per week, equivalent to the diet of todays members of society living in poverty.
Food projections are extremely uncertain since natural disasters are unpredictable and may increase if the fo ...

Global Warming
... inadvertent global experiment by changing the face of the entire planet. We are destroying the ozone layer, which allows life to exist on the Earth's surface. All of these activities are unfavorably altering the composition of the biosphere and the Earth's heat balance. If we do not slow down our use of fossil fuels and stop destroying, the forests, the world could become hotter than it has been in the past million years. Average global temperatures have risen 1 degree Fahrenheit over the last century. If carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases continue to spill into the atmosphere, global temperatures could rise f ...
