... nuclear power, there is still fear from citizens and the chance of an accident. The nuclear power industry uses misleading language, and words understood by nuclear employees only, or euphemisms and jargon, to mislead the public and make them believe that there is nothing to be afraid of and that there is no possibility of a major accident. They take the public's biggest fears, meltdowns and contaminations, and make them into "events" and "infiltrations." This use of doublespeak is misleading to the public and may make them believe that a major accident hasn't happened, or the accident was a normal event or minor in ...

... 1). Also naming a picture was faster than when a congruent word was present. Therefore pictures activate the name code. Another experiment (Experiment 2) indicated that memory for pictures and words, whether they were initially named or categorized had an effect on memory. Memory was better for words if they have been categorized and for pictures if they have been named. Experiment 3 showed the same results as the previous two experiments. The fourth experiment, with the introduction of less common objects, subjects could name the words faster than generating a category name for the words. Naming pictures a ...

... odorless, and tasteless. They can cause death really fast if a person inhales them or if they are splashed on bare skin. Chemical agents have not been used a lot in warfare since World War I ended in 1918. Other chemical agents do not cause death, but they could make a person unable to fight. Some of these are called blister agents, which cause big blisters on your skin. A blister agent called mustard gas caused a lot of deaths on both sides during World War I. Some other chemical agents can cause temporary blindness or mental confusion. But people still can defend themselves against all of these chemical agents ...

... who is afflicted with the "sleeping sickness" disease that reached epidemic proportions during that specific era. Like many others who contracted this illness, Leonard and those like him were often misdiagnosed and eventually placed in mental hospital facilities because of their apparent vegetative state. Doctors who worked on the earlier cases believed the patients mental faculties to have been destroyed by the illness. Dr. Sayer (Dr. Oliver Sacks in real life) discovers that certain vegetative patients reacted to outside stimuli, such as a pattern on a floor, a tossed ball, or a television with a maladjusted verti ...

... than on the acidity of each raindrop. · More than 90 per cent of the acid rain that falls over Norway originates in other countries. · Cuts in emissions have reduced the acidity of rain and snow recently. Total emissions of sulphur in Europe were reduced by more than 40 per cent from 1980 to 1993. In the same period, Norway's emissions were reduced by more than 70 per cent. · As a result of higher precipitation in recent years, sulphur deposition has not dropped as much as might be expected from the reductions in emissions. · Estimates of how much pollution the environment can absorb without damage are c ...

... things that are associated with pollution: Pathogens: Pathogens are disease causing bacteria, viruses, and protozoa. They usually come from human sewage. As pathogen numbers increase, so does the risk of human health. Biochemical Oxygen Demand: Organic wastes that decay in a body of water. decrease the amount of oxygen found in it. The living things in the lake need oxygen to survive. If the oxygen level is depressed to zero, all fish in the lake die. Any decomposition that does not contain oxygen starts to generate noxious gases such as Hydrogen Sulfide. Pulp and paper mills, and municipal sewage causes BOD. Nutr ...

... a Greek name; Betelgeuse, a bright red star, has an Arabic name. Modern astronomers designate the bright stars according to the CONSTELLATIONS they are in. Thus, the brightest star in the Big Dipper (part of the constellation Ursa Major) is called alpha Ursa Majoris. Polaris, in the Little Dipper (Ursa Minor), is gamma (designated by the Greek lower-case letter gamma) Ursa Minoris, and Betelgeuse, in Orion, is gamma Orionis. VARIABLE STARS (those which periodically change in brightness) have lettered names, such as RR Lyrae in the constellation Lyra. Fainter stars are known by their numbers in a catalog; HD 12938 ...

... discuss the definitions of death. I will discuss the ethical and moral aspects of the problem of euthanasia. I will try to use Emile Durkheim’s social integration theory to explain the causes of active euthanasia, and suicide in general. I will also use Charles Tittle’s defiance category of deviance, which represents escape or withdrawal from active participation to social relationships or normative obligations to society. I want to integrate both Durkheim’s egoistic type of suicide, which applies to those that are inadequately integrated into society, and Tittle’s defiance category of deviance. I beli ...

... tail and their back legs have grown a lot. Most we see around town and in the country are green and brown. are actually many different colors. The coloring of a frog depends mostly on where the frog lives. A lot of are red, yellow, orange, black and even combinations of colors. There is even a frog that is brown with two yellow stripes down its head and back and it has bright green legs. II. Habitat of the frog If you went on a tour of the world, you would find frogs on every continent except Antarctica. The family of frogs called Ranidae, include the leopard frog and the bullfrog. These frogs are foun ...

... honeybees had reached Central America and soon colonized Mexico. In 1990, the first swarm was found in the United States. The bees spread from Texas to New Mexico and Arizona and then into California by 1994. The bees reached an apparent climatic limit to their southern range in the middle of Argentina, and their range is expected to be similarly limited to the southern and coastal states in the United States. They have hybridized to some extent with resident wild and hive populations of European honeybees. However, many of the basic African honeybee traits remain, including rapid population growth, frequen ...
