... to show improvement. Bay grasses, which perform crucial functions in the ecosystem, have increased throughout the Bay. The oyster and blue crab catch, however, continues to dwindle, and some find fish populations have declined. Species, such as striped bass have increased to the point that they are commercially viable again. The Chesapeake Bay's decline was evident as early as the 1950s. In the late 1970s, state and federal scientists began an extensive study to determine the reasons for the Bay's decline. Three major problems were identified; excess nutrients from wastewater, agricultural lands, and developed la ...

... fission which is also referred to as budding. During budding the cell wall swells in order to create a new bud. This newly created bud then breaks off from the original cell to become an independent cell. is most commonly known to reproduce asexually or reproduce self-fertile. Some produce sexually, but that is only a very minuet number. The most reproduction is created in substances containing much sugar. For some reason or another, this appeals most to the , causing it to grow at a rapid rate. Just like any other organism, in order for to survive they need to have a significant amount of nutrition ...

... different properties, different es ans many interesting facts. The term is usually applied to silicate-based materials, non-crystalline solids. Basically a is any material that has congealed and become firm without forming a regular crystal formation.(Russ, 1998) The properties of vary and regulate by modifying the composition, production techniques or both. represents a combination of properties that can not be separated, such as mechanical, chemical, optical and thermal properties. is an intriguing substance in the way that the moment you change the percentage of one of its components, the itself is dif ...

... driving history and insurance information. There have been countless cases of breaches in security, including theft of money, because of the lack of security on the Internet. I feel that the need for greater security measures on the net is increasing as we move towards the millennium and bigger security problems are created as we depend on computers more and more everyday. Computer Systems these days are protected in one of two ways, or both. The first is through passwords. Passwords work only to a certain extent. Many people lack the forethought to make their password something that is not easily guessable ...

... be at risk. These sectors are public utilities, telecommunications, transportation, commerce, small business, and national security. They also believe that they will affect importers of oil and coal. Senator Christopher Dodd of Connecticut says that health care is at the worst risk right now. He says that, "As much as 80-90% of our doctors' offices are not compliant. 64% of hospitals still have serious problems with the Y2K issues," (Senate Y2K Report Wendy Griffith). The senate also believes that they will affect Medicare, power companies, banks, and stocks. People now believe that they must remove their money ...

... investigate research dealing with the subject of increased serum iron levels and the prevalence of CAD. Medical journals were primarily used for research data due to the nature of the subject and the need for in-depth analysis. While it has the highest prevalence of any disease, women experience only 30-50% of the coronary artery disease incidence and mortality of age-matched men (Meyers, 1996). Many feel that this may be due to the protective effect that estrogen has on the blood vessels of females. There may actually be a direct correlation to reduced serum iron levels due to menses. Whereas men " build-up" ...

The slide spilled out onto the Sherman glacier, during the big slide several other smaller slides happened and those were the one that took lives in Anchorage, and destroyed property There are a couple of types of avalanches and how the destroy so m ...

... used over one hundred years ago by British chemist Robert Angus Smith. At that time, he realized that smoke and fumes from human activities could change the acidity of precipitation. Unfortunately his awareness was not considered an environmental concern until the 1950's. Around this time, increased levels of acidity were discovered in lakes in both Canada and Scandinavia. At first, this was looked at as an interesting situation, rather than a growing problem. Since that time, much research has gone into identifying the sources of acid rain and the damage that it causes. As research continued, the situation reached c ...

... not forget about the men and women who spend hours on end getting in and out of those little white suits and rubber gloves to dispose our radio active waste. It is not so much that we recognize the great discoveries and creations we have made, but more that we recognize all we do as humans to ensure our plentiful and gluttonous lifestyles. Lets face it. We as humans waste countless hours of our lives worrying about the future. Whether it’s asteroids or Y2K, it’s always something. It is said that in the future, with global warming, temperatures outdoors will be too hot to survive in. But what is the f ...
