.... that are near the Great Lakes, have substances such as limestone or other known antacids that can neutralize acids entering the body of water thereby protecting it. However, large areas of Ontario that are near the Pre-Cambrian Shield, with quartzite or granite based geology and little top soil, do not posses enough buffering capacity to neutralize even small amounts of acid falling on the soil and the lakes. Therefore over time, the basic environment shifts from an alkaline to a acidic one. This is why many lakes in the Muskoka, Haliburton, Algonquin, Parry Sound and Manitoulin districts could lose their fisheries if sulfu .....

.... is called "Down's" in Europe. In the first part of the twentieth century, there was much speculation of the cause of Down syndrome. The first people to speculate that it might be due to chromosomal abnormalities were Waardenberg and Bleyer in the 1930s. But it wasn't until 1959 that Jerome Lejeune and Patricia Jacobs, working independently, first determined the cause to be trisomy of the 21st chromosome. Cases of Down syndrome due to translocation and mosaicism were described over the next three years. The estimated incidence of Down syndrome is between 1 in 1,000 to 1 in 1,100 live births. Each year approximately .....

.... to grow, or the biotic potential, is as well reduced. More species residing in an ecosystem which depend on each other allows for a greater chance of survival and perpetuation. This may occur for several reasons, for example a bee and a flower. The bee requires the pollen of the flower to make its honey. However, while gathering the pollen from the flowers, it transfers some of the pollen to female flowers, allowing them to make seeds and spawn further generations. However, a foreign species may, for example, eat the bees therefore allowing for decreased fecundity of the flowers. Another implication of the introductio .....

.... she calls her "live-in companion," who answers to the name of Hweig. Mrs. Kannenberg realizes that Hweig would be explained away by conventional scientists in terms of split personality or some other form of mental abberation. Although she does not agree with this interpretation of her situation, she does not claim to have any paranormal abilities because of her contact with Hweig. She does not seek publicity, nor does she avoid it. She writes down dialogues and insights she finds to be of particular interest as they occur, and has given me permission to quote the following descriptions: T .....

.... on Christmas Day 1974. Although people had warning on New Year's Day about Cyclone Tracy, they were busy preparing for Christmas and thought that the cyclone would pass away just like Cyclone Selma had done three weeks before. Cyclone Tracy came roaring down the Arafura Sea (where most the develop in that area) and was on track to bypass Darwin but changed direction 900 past Melville Island and straight towards the city. At this time most people were asleep or partying. By 1:00 AM, the city of Darwin felt the full effect of the cyclone. Some people were outside when it hit but most people got to a safe place for shelter. T .....

.... agencies, or a private practice (The Page"). Forensic psychologists also provide treatment services. These include counseling for adults and children involved in divorce proceedings and anger management counseling ("Psychology Information Online" 1998). Forensic psychologists help a lot with family issues. Some examples of the services for the family court cases are: child custody evaluations, visitation risk assessment, evaluations to access termination of parental rights, adoption readiness evaluations ("Forensic Psychological Evaluations"). Forensic counseling for anger management usually occurs in child abuse, domestic .....

.... is the process that the laser works on, which was first proposed by Albert Einstein in 1917. When a sufficient number of atoms, either gas solid or liquid, absorb energy so that they are in an excited state of higher energy stimulated emission can occur. Light of a specific wavelength can produce more light with the same phase and direction these light waves will be coherent. Stimulated emission amplifies the coherency of this radiation and gives the radiation a very narrow beam spread. The combination of light amplification and stimulated emission creates a laser. Laser light is coherent because the atoms are stimulated to e .....

.... evolved along with them. A mitochondrian’s main purpose is to burn energy through a slow method of combustion, which will consume as much air to burn as fire will, just to break down nutrients into simpler substances. These simpler molecules then bond with the atoms that will need the energy to function. Then, enzymes in the mitochondrion break up the atoms and then recapture them again. This time, the energy atoms will be bonded in a different molecule to form ATP, or adenosine triphosphate. ATP has an adenosine core and three phosphates attached to it, hence its name. These phosphates will store the new energy. ATP can tr .....

.... made of sedimentary rock was eroded back to expose ‘Fisherman’s Rock’ - the shore platform which, made of limestone – tended to erode back slower than the cliff. The types of wave erosion that caused this are - Hydraulic Action, when waves hit the cliff, air is forced into cracks, and then as the wave retreats this air expands explosively. Over time the cracks enlarge, weakening the base of the cliff causing erosion. Attrition is the breakdown of rock particles when they hit Otakamiro point and each other causing the base of the headland to erode. Chemical Erosion/Corrosion occurs due to the content of .....

.... or if an extremely violent act has traumatized the person. Many personality disorders like Multiple Personality Disorder lead to various social problems. According to psychologist, these traits usually arise when the individual is in early childhood, around the age of eight years old. Multiple Personality Disorder is able to happen by a means called Dissociation. In psychological terms Dissociation means " that a person mentally distances themselves from traumatic situations or emotional distress." By using Dissociation, a child can mentally remove themselves from frightening and physically painful experiences. For insta .....
