Nuclear Power: Cons
Number of words: 2010 | Number of pages: 8.... by adopting these newer, safer methods. A main source of energy that
could lead the way for the near future is solar energy. It is clean efficient
and is already a large part of American and Canadian electricity production.
"Solar energy already supplies about 6% of the nation's [U.S.A] energy ... the
industry is still in an embryonic stage, and opportunity exists for increasing
this contribution by ten times from current levels." (Maidique, 92) It is
obvious that solar power will become a large part of the electricity production
around the world. With future expansion and newer solar cells, the power
production could be increased .....

More recently there is the nuclear missile that is capable of wiping out an entire major city. Moreover, there are many inventions that have been built with the intent to improve life only to repeatedly take it away from people. Some such inventions are cars, planes and nuclear power plants. Something must be done to hinder the advancement of technology in these areas before we are all dead.
Lastly, technology is the biggest source of pollution. This pollution poses the .....

The causes of environmental problems and the actual problems that were caused are the first subject that must be explored. Air pollution is by far the most serious pollution problem is eastern Europe. In general, the problem was caused by the burning of coal in industry and lead-based diesel non-desulferized petrol in cars. This resulted in very high amounts of sulfur oxides (particularly sulfur dioxide which is the number one pollutant), nitrous oxides, ozone, suspended particulates, carbon disulfide, and chlorine . .....

Circulation Systems Over China
Number of words: 1879 | Number of pages: 7.... must exists. Therefore, for a close understanding of the circulation
system that operates over China, we should start from discussing the seasonal
pressure distribution at sea-level over the Asia-Pacific region, which is the
driving force for the air movements in China. Most clearly to be seen, the
largest difference in the atmospheric pressure occurs between winter and summer,
whereby January and July can be considered as representative months. In January,
a typical cold anticyclone with central pressure above 1,040 hectopascals (hPa)
developed over mid-Siberia and Mongolia (Mongolian High); while a strongly
established cycl .....

Gossard did not work alone, he was also in partnership with a Russian theorist
named Konstantin Tsiolkovsky. Tsiolkovsky was born on September 7, 1857. As a
child Tsiolkovsky educated himself and rose to become a High School teacher of
mathematics in the small town of Kaluga, 145km (90mi) south of Moscow. In his
early years Tsiolkovsky caught scarlet fever and became 80% deaf. Together, the
theoretical work of Russian Konstantin Tsiolkovsky and the experimental work of
American Rober .....

Development Of Charles Darwin

(D 6) However, growing up in the family home of Dr. Robert Darwin, was not exactly the most pleasant aspect of young Charles Darwin's life.
After the death of his mother, Charles had become rather listless and buried himself in his work or in the pursuits of wealthy youth. The time after the loss of him mother was a wasted period spent in an institution which did not foster nor nurture the scientist we know of as Charles Darwin. The time he spent at Shrewsbury School was in Darwin's own words us .....

Protein Synthesis
Number of words: 241 | Number of pages: 1.... molecule
is built. This is accomplished by an enzyme which travels along a portion of DNA
between two exons and attaches the opposing base pairs to the backbone of the
mRNA (a structure composed of phosphates and ribose). The nitrogen bases of this
new molecule are identical to that of the opposite side of the original DNA
molecule except that the thymine has been replaced with uracil. The formation of
this molecule allows for the construction of proteins in the ribosome without
risking the DNA in the cytoplasm.
The mRNA travels through the cell to a ribosome. Here tRNA which contain
the appropriate anti-codon collect the amino .....

hormones similar to oestrogen and progesterone, the woman’s natural hormones

sperm to pass into the uterus.
How effective is the pill?
If used correctly, the pill is highly effective. It has a less than one percent
failure rate. However, because ma .....

Acid Rain
Number of words: 505 | Number of pages: 2.... sulfur dioxide combines with water, the result is sulfuric acid.
When nitrogen oxide gas combines with water, the result is also another acid.
When the clouds releases rain or other precipitation, the acid goes with it.
This is called acid rain.
The level of acid is measured in pH levels. The pH scale begins at 0
and ends with 14. A reading lower than 7 is called acidic, and a reading higher
than 7 is called basic. Seven is neutral. Normal rain is slightly acidic with a
pH level of about 6.5. Rain with a pH of 5.5 is then times more acidic than
normal rain and rain with pH of 4.5 is a hundred times more acidic than normal
