Number of words: 1168 | Number of pages: 5.... home manufacturing to factory production. When Napoleon came into power, people became as violent and corrupt as their former rulers.

(Pfordresher, 423). The Victorian Period was from 1832 until 1901. It marked the climax of England's rise to economic and military dominance (Pfordresher, 543).

Nuclear Fusion
Number of words: 2376 | Number of pages: 9.... tritium will produce a helium nucleus and
an energetic neutron that can help sustain further fusion. This is the basic
principal of the hydrogen bomb which employs a brief, controlled thermonuclear
fusion reaction. This was also how the car in the Back to the Future movie
worked. It had a much more sophisticated system of producing a fusion reaction
from things like, old coffee grounds, bananas, and old beer cans. Thermonuclear
reactions depend on high energies, and the possibility of a low-temperature
nuclear fusion has generally been discounted. Little does the scientific
community know about my experiments. I have produced .....

Therefore, the surface is basically plain-like and covered with large craters. There are also some areas where the rock is " jumbled." The poles of Mars are iced over and the temperature is about 160 - 170 degrees K. Mars also has its share of volcanoes. Most of these volcanoes are shield volcanoes. The surface is littered with winding channels that resemble river channels that have dried up over time. Scientists believe that water once existed and caused the formation of these channels. It is said that, .....

Cd Roms
Number of words: 1257 | Number of pages: 5.... there for you when you need it.
A CD:ROM looks like a music compact disk , but they are not that much alike. First a CD:ROM has a lot more information than a regular compact disk. A CD:ROM has audio as well as visual information. Second a CD:ROM stores more data in it. Third if you put a CD:ROM in a compact disk player the compact disk player would just sit there and act stupid. If you put a compact disk in a CD:ROM drive it would play the compact disk you put in it because the CD:ROM drive is taught to do that also. Fourth to record music onto a compact disk you would have to buy the equipment. The equipment for that opera .....

The Polar Bear
Number of words: 1548 | Number of pages: 6.... heat and to grip the ice and provide better traction. Polar bears are fast movers. When on uneven ice the bear will “trot”, moving its legs on opposite sides in unison. It can trot at 12 to 18 miles per hour. When it is running, it can reach speeds of up to 35 miles per hour. The bear can travel around 50 miles on an average day.
The polar bear is also an expert swimmer. The bear has a long neck with a small head which help it to be more streamlined when it is in the water. It also has partially webbed feet which help it to paddle through the frozen waters. When swimming, the polar bear propels itself with its .....

During uncounted eons, this simple life gradually became more and more complex as chance modifications of the original proteins combined with external conditions of moisture, temperature, food supply, etc., to eventually produce all the varied and complex life forms inhabiting first the oceans, then the land, and finally the air, that we see today. Homo sapiens is seen as the topmost branch in the evolutionary tree of life, but the tree is still growing, and who knows what the next branches will look like? “
I wasn’t exactly raised with religion. Sure, my family celebrated Chris .....

electron cloud .....

Pheromones
Number of words: 481 | Number of pages: 2.... products and are employed because of their
pleasant smell.
Scientific research suggests that there are human pheromones for both
the male and the female. Females have a better developed sense of smell and
testing indicates that they are more responsive to male pheromones than the
reverse.
Research over the years has found that the male pheromones belong to a
class of compounds called steroids, in particular derivatives of androstenone,
which are secreted by perspiration glands on our bodies.
The compound androstenone, and a related product androstenol, are the
most commonly used compounds for testing the effects of pheromone .....

Number of words: 967 | Number of pages: 4.... nature. Have young children changed their behavior since the 1700's? I suppose any child from any culture at any time in history would cry when it was upset, physically take whatever it wanted, need a certain amount of love and attention, and also be interested in exploring things outside of it's bounds. I feel that all of these instinctive behaviors seen in young children are emotions that I, as a young adult, have somehow came to deal wit as a part of society. Certainly other children, adolescents, and adults young and old alike understand this behavior or it would not be accepted. A person from any background or era .....
