Short vertical beams at the end of each box beam attached to the supporting baseplate of the platform. An aluminum plate was glued to a honeycomb shaped piece of plastic. The platform was calibra .....

Aids 4
Number of words: 3029 | Number of pages: 12.... thought of as a "gay disease". Because the disease is spread primarily by exposure of ones blood to infected blood or semen, I.V. drug addicts who shared needles were soon identified as an affected group. As the AIDS epidemic began to affect increasingly large fractions of those two populations (gay males and IV drug abusers), many of the rest of this society looked on smugly, for both populations tended to be despised by the "mainstream" of society here.
But AIDS is also spread by heterosexual sex. In addition, it is spread by blood transfusions. Newborn babies can acquire the disease from infected mothers during pregnancy. Gra .....

Number of words: 888 | Number of pages: 4.... from Mars, 1). The meteorites were dated using radiometric dating methods (Erjavec, 1).
The most widely accepted theory of life on Mars is that of the recently conceived primitive, or microscopic, life may have existed on early Mars. "A NASA research team at the Johnson Space Center and at Stanford University has found evidence that strongly suggests primitive life may have existed on Mars more than 3.6 billion years ago" (Release: 96-160, 1). Many meteorites have landed on earth, but only 12 are believed to have originated on Mars. These 12 were determined to be from Mars based on comparisons with the 1970's Viking m .....

Evolution From A Molecular Perspective
Number of words: 3032 | Number of pages: 12.... we need
only concern ourselves with the objective observation of these proteins in our
attempt to explain our ever mysterious origin. As humans, we are the first
creatures to question exactly where we came from and how we got here. Some
cling to religious creationism as a means, while others embrace the evolutionary
theory. As of now, and possibly forever, neither can be proven to be absolute
truth with hard facts, and both have their opposing arguments. The point of
this paper being composed is not to attempt to abolish the creationist view, a
feat that at this point seems impossible, but merely to educate those seeking to
un .....

At the beginning of the 20th century most rivers/lakes like the river Tovdal in Norway had not yet begun to die. However by 1926 local inspectors were noticing that many of the lakes were beginning to show signs of death. Fish were found dead along the banks of many rivers. As the winters ice began to melt off more and more hundreds upon hundreds more dead fish (trout in particular) were being found. It was at this time that scientist began to search for the .....

Now finding the knowledge and answers would be very difficult but Aristotle believed what better way to obtain this then through the use of science. He knew that everything in science deals with learning using more than just senses. There are always deeper meanings and definitions when pertaining to science. In all types of sciences whether physics, ethics, politics etc. they will deal with discovering the "causes" and "reasons" to everything. Physics deal with what causes the material body to move, ethics with what causes good life, and politics with what causes the good state. Using what he kn .....

The Beginning Of The Universe
Number of words: 1285 | Number of pages: 5.... in the future. This model assumes the perfect cosmological
principle. This principle says that the universe is the same everywhere on
the large scale, at all times.2 It maintains the same average density of
matter forever.
There are observational evidences found that can prove the Big Bang
model is more reasonable than the Steady State model. First, the redshifts
of distant galaxies. Redshift is a Doppler effect which states that if a
galaxy is moving away, the spectral line of that galaxy observed will have
a shift to the red end. The faster the galaxy moves, the more shift it has.
If the galaxy is moving closer, .....

Number of words: 16538 | Number of pages: 61.... that believe in creation (creationists) posses a
strong, firm, uncompromising sense of their beliefs and doctrines, and
those that believe in evolution (evolutionists) posses an incompressible
view of their beliefs. Creationists firmly believe that their tentative
assumptions and ideology on how the universe was formed and how life began
is legitimate, exact, and accurate in all aspects. Evolutionists, however,
also believe that their philosophy and conception on how the earth was
formed and how life began and supposedly continues to change, diversify,
and evolve into other life forms is absolutely sound, rectified, and
amende .....
