Lepus Americanus
Number of words: 381 | Number of pages: 2.... techniques, it was found that probabilities for survivorship in experimental grid (0.79+0.10) were similar to that of control grids (0.71+0.07; 0.56+0.07). Results yielded that extra food intake and cover provided from branches may have not been helpful in increasing survivorship. No differences were measured in reproduction of percentage in adult females caught lactating between control and experimental grids. Based on experiments conducted by Keith and Windberg (1978), we should expect reduced weight loss during the winter months if natural feeding was effective in experimental grid. Results gathered based on growth rates and siz .....

Faster Dissolved Oxygen Test Kit
Number of words: 3502 | Number of pages: 13.... 15 years. It may be that we are only keeping
up with the amount of pollution we are producing. (Knopman, 1993)
The early biosphere was not pleasant for life because the atmosphere had
low levels of oxygen. Photosynthetic bacteria consumed carbon dioxide and
produced simple sugars and oxygen which created the oxygen abundant atmosphere
in which more advanced life forms could develop. (Brown, 1994) The mystery of
how Earth's oxygen levels rose is very complex. Scientists don't agree when or
how the oxygen on earth got here, but we know we could not live without it.
(Pendick, 1993) Oxygen is crucial for humans to survive. .....

Darwinism
Number of words: 1665 | Number of pages: 7.... mistaken for the young Fucus lorious is in reality the ovum of the Pontobdella Muricata." (Rachels,7).
In the early 1800's, a group of naturalists led by Captain FitzRoy, were planning an overseas trip, which they called the Voyage of the Beagle. They invited Darwin along, not as a naturalist, but as a helper. Through this trip, Darwin met many explorers that had their own theories about evolution. The first theory, which is the best known and most widely accepted one, is creationism. Creationism states that God created the heavens and the earth. This is the theory stated in the Bible, and many people believe this and preach .....

Microbiology
Number of words: 2025 | Number of pages: 8.... Jansen created the microscope. Although Robert Hooke is
the one who made it widely known. In 1665 Hooke published a book called
Micrographie. It contained his thoughts on chemistry as well as a
description and list of uses for a microscope. With this he opened the
door to microbiology.
For the first time the world was able to see very small creatures
and objects. From the use of a microscope he was able to make drawings of
the structure of a feather, the eye of a fly, the stinger of a bee, and the
plant-like form of mold. And from his observations of a slice of cork, he
discovered that everything is made up .....

Biotechnology
Number of words: 770 | Number of pages: 3.... create an
ultimate destruction. The alterance of nature is un-natural, and creates
an unbalancement in life. When we use this technology towards the
wrong side, we may all be burned. You see, Biotechnology has the
ability to altar what diseases we humans are susceptible to, and when
scientists create something to eliminate immunities to diseases, it may
result in a mass destruction of the evolved living being known as
the human. This may sound tragic, but this is what Biotechnology is
all about; changing genes so that they may fit our societal and
economic needs. The government has probably taken this germ-warfare in
to consider .....

Can Intelligence Be Measured
Number of words: 1021 | Number of pages: 4.... day of the test and this certainly affects the outcome of the test. Well if you do badly on it you will just be thought of as stupid and it is not really you're own fault. Normal standardized test get predictable results around the academic standpoint of intelligence, but should not be held to tell weather the person is intelligent or not. The only real thing that the IQ test tests is reading comprehension, vocabulary, and spatial relations. The test should really be based on a variety of traits.
Standardized tests can also hurt a person's self esteem in some cases. If results are lower than expected, their expectations .....

Creation Or Evolution?
Number of words: 685 | Number of pages: 3.... most sedimentary rocks as products of Noah's flood. The majority believes that the earth is under 10,000 years of age. Some believe 4004 BC was the year of creation.
The person who proposed the methods by which natural processes cause the evolution of the species was Charles Darwin. He used natural selection to explain how evolution worked. Darwin's old teacher said evolution would "brutalize" us as human beings and sink us "into a lower grade of degradation" than any time in recorded history. He was partially correct. The fact that many people think they evolved from monkeys has made morale in the world lower. However, t .....

The Future Of NASA
Number of words: 377 | Number of pages: 2.... for those who's hearts have problems
with pumping blood. Pens that write upside-down are used in space, where there
is no gravity and writing with pens would otherwise be impossible. They are
convenient tools on Earth when we are trying to write on vertical surfaces. A
zero-gravity training system is used to help astronauts become more comfortable
with the conditions in space. It is used in places such as Sportsland, for kids
to twirl around in.
In the future, telephones with picture screens, much like those used to
see astronauts in space with, will become common on Earth. Rooms with no
gravity may become a part of amu .....
