The Big Bang Theory Vs Biblical Views
Number of words: 351 | Number of pages: 2.... Known as a singularity, this is the
moment before creation when space and time did not exist. According to the
prevailing cosmological models that explain our universe, an ineffable
explosion, trillions of degrees in temperature on any measurement scale,
that was infinitely dense, created not only fundamental subatomic particles
and thus matter and energy but space and time itself. Cosmology theorists
combined with the observations of their astronomy colleagues have been able
to reconstruct the primordial chronology of events known as the big bang.
Next, we introduce the "Big Bang" theory's arch rival, creationism.
This is the bel .....

Global Warming
Number of words: 368 | Number of pages: 2.... as the seventh coolest year since satellite measurements began in 1978. Further more, satellite and balloon based information, which uses different technology, concur with each other's readings according to NASA.
My opinion is that surface-based information can not be relied on until it covers more land. Also, I find it difficult to argue with two different sources that prove each other's information to be accurate. I do not, however, feel that we should immediately depend on the reliability of either conjecture since the stakes are so high. I feel that further research and development should be pursued.
I think that electr .....

Bacteria 2
Number of words: 608 | Number of pages: 3.... facultatibe anaerobes can live in either the presence or absence of free oxygen. They obtain energy either by aerobic respiration when oxygen is present or by fermentation when oxygen is absent. Still other bacteria cannot live in the presence of oxygen. These are called obligate anaerobes. Such bacteria obtain energy only fermentation. Through fermentation, different groups of bacteria produce a wide variety of organic compounds. Besides ethyl alcohol and lactic acid, bacterial fermentation can produce acetic acid, acetone, butyl alcohol, glycol, butyric acid, propionic acid, and methane, the main component of natural gas.

Dna And Forensics

DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid, and it basically looks like a twisted ladder, or a double helix with rungs or base pairs. Guanine (G), Adenine (A), Thymine (T), and Cytosine (C) are the four bases that make up the base pairs. The bases don't just pair with any other bases, there are certain predictable combinations: A with T and G with C, and these are true to any DNA. The human body contains in excess of three billion base pairs, only a few of these are what att .....

Effect Of Temp On Endo And Ectotherms (metabolism)
Number of words: 1050 | Number of pages: 4.... In the following experiment, we will attempt to examine the relationship between metabolic rate and environmental temperature in both an ectoderm and an endotherm. I predict that for the ectotherm, the metabolic rate will increase as the outside environment temperature will increase. I also predict that the metabolic rate in the endotherm will remain relatively the same as the outside environment temperature changes. I also make the prediction that the ectotherm will have much lower metabolic rates than the endotherm.
The procedures for this experiment are those that are referred to in Duncan and Townsend, 1996 p9-7. In our exper .....

Forensic Science
Number of words: 1603 | Number of pages: 6.... the medical evidence and lab reports,
study the victims history, and put all the information together in a report to be
turned in to the district attorney.
Medical examiners are usually physicians specializing in forensic
pathology, the study of structural and functional changes in the body as a
result of injury. Their training and qualifications most often include a medical
degree and an apprenticeship in a medical examiners office.
In the field of forensic science, there are many subspecialties. They
include odontology (the study of teeth), anthropology(the study of human
beings), psychiatry, biology, chemistry, physic .....

Network Security
Number of words: 2810 | Number of pages: 11.... detective movies who show how easy it is to tap a telephone- Although it is illegal unauthorised access is gained, damage can be done to sensitive data if leaked from one company to another which can provide criminals with the electronic gold mine of fraud opportunities.[2]
so this justifies the need for security.
Many definitions say that security means “…..unauthorised access, such as preventing a hacker from breaking into your computer” (Fitzgerald and Dennis, 1996, pp426). This statement shows the importance of the computer security, because the computer data storage device such as hard drive and othe .....

The Luminescence Of Black Light
Number of words: 442 | Number of pages: 2.... spectrum, we have a transient light phenomenon. Ultra-violet light is an
exciting agent which causes luminescence to occur.
There are many materials which exhibit fluorescent characteristics.
Many of which are even organic. Teeth, eyes, some portions of the skin, and
even blood exhibit fluorescent qualities. Naturally occurring minerals such as:
agate, calcite, chalcedony, curtisite, fluorite, gypsum, hackmanite, halite,
opal scheelite, and willemite, also have similar characteristics. These
materials can be used in industries.
The radiance of ultraviolet light is measured in units called
"Angstrom." The intensity of ultravi .....

Homosexual Gene
Number of words: 369 | Number of pages: 2.... is known, and who’s function we do understand.
Now scientists are attempting to find proof if the infamous “gay gene”. For years, the gay community has been trying to prove that they were “born gay” and that their lifestyle was not choice. The news media has a ridiculous double standard for the trait "sexual orientation" and every other trait. ABC's science journalist David Marash reported on Nightline that a gay gene "suggests that homosexuality may not be a choice." Marash is suggesting that unless we locate a gene for homosexuality, homosexuality is a choice (or, at a minimum, that we cannot know whether it is cho .....

Photochemical Smog
Number of words: 1695 | Number of pages: 7.... primary
pollutants (oxides of nitrogen and volatile organic compounds created from
fossil fuel combustion) interact under the influence of sunlight to produce a
mixture of hundreds of different and hazardous chemicals known as secondary
pollutants. Development of photochemical smog is typically associated with
specific climatic conditions and centers of high population density. Cities
like Los Angeles, New York, Sydney, and Vancouver frequently suffer episodes of
photochemical smog.
One way in which the production of photochemical smog is initiated is through
the photochemical reaction of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) to form ozone. T .....
