Depletion Of The Ozone Layer
1,370 words
... portion of the ozone layer is a major concern
today. The ozone layer protects us from the
harmful rays of the sun; therefore it is
imperative that we preserve it. Since more
pollutants are produced today than ever before
(because of the major increase in the population),
there is a major concern that we create less
pollutants to help conserve the ozone layer. In
this research paper I will give vital information
on how pollution affects the ozone layer and
methods instituted to help the ozone...

Western Hemisphere Peace Conference
1,409 words
In the never-ending human quest of knowledge and
truth, there is one certainty which serves as the
foundation for all intellectual growth and
progress. This certainty is that in life, and
therefore in the intellectual outpourings of
mankind, there lies a certain degree of bias.
Although one who professes to be conscious of this
bias attempts to remove it, this can never be
done. The reason is very simple. Any new knowledge
gained by an individual is gained usually through
logical proof of a fact...

Source Of Energy Solar Cells
970 words
Space is filled with radiant energy and beyond
earth's atmosphere this energy flow more steadily
and more intensely from the sun than that which
penetrates to the surface of the Earth. So an
abundant and essential source of energy that would
be used in space for the space colony would be
solar radiation by developing satellite solar
power stations. To live in space, humans must be
protected from the fierce intensity and
penetrating wavelengths of unattenuated sunlight,
but this same energy is on...

Stephen Hawking A Life In Science
1,791 words
depicts the life and accomplishments of Stephen
Hawking, a unique and towering figure in modern
physics, perhaps the most famous scientist since
Einstein. He has achieved far more than the vast
majority of able-bodied people would ever have
dreamt of accomplishing. He has made fundamental
breakthroughs in cosmology and, perhaps more than
anyone else alive, he has pushed forward our
understanding of the universe we live in. His
brilliant work on black holes, the big bang, and
quantum cosmology ha...

You should not listen to the sound current in the
left ear because this is psychically harmful.
Listen to it in the right ear, and gradually try
to move it to the center and top of the brain.
From this vertex center, known as the Sahasraram
Chakra (whose associated gland is the pineal
body), allow the vibration of the sound current to
fill the entire head and to then expand beyond the
head into the surrounding space. This is one of

World War Ii Franklin D Roosevelt
1,564 words
On the morning of August 6, 1945, the first Atomic
Bomb in history was dropped on the Japanese city
of Hiroshima. Three days later, a second bomb was
dropped on Nagasaki. Soon after, on August 14,
1945, the Japanese abruptly surrendered,
abandoning their ancient customs regarding honor
in war. The fact that only two bombs were able to
bring an entire country to its knees is a true
testament to the awesome power they held. There is
nothing in modern warfare that can compete with
the devastating e...

Big Bang Theory Existence Of God

... us as odd would evoke the thought, 'How did
that get here?' You might not have a clue how it
came to be, but there would probably never be a
moment when you thought there should be no
explanation at all. Few times do we consider the
possibility that perhaps it came about all by
chance, or came from nothing. As Taylor points
out, the nonexistence of anything never requires a
reason; but existence of something, that always
requires a reason. This basic idea that to every
truth there is a cause...

Rise In Sea Level Carbon Dioxide
633 words
The global warming is caused by emissions of over
20 gases into the atmosphere. The major
contributors are carbon dioxide (CO 2), ozone,
methane, nitrous oxide and chlorofluorocarbons
(CFCs). Although these gases are produced by many
industrial processes, the major source is the
burning of fossil fuels in boilers, furnaces and
automobile engines. When released into the air in
large quantities, these gases cause the earths
atmosphere to warm by trapping the suns heat.
Infrared radiation that woul...

Physics Current Event Article Traditionally, for
about 40 years now, cancer therapy has been using
protons to treat tumors. This treatment has been
in use since 1946, after Robert Wilson, a Berkeley
physicist offered it as an option to less
effective X-rays method. However, protons, as well
as X-rays cause damage to DNA because they use
radiation. According to Michael Holzscheiter, a
spokesman for Geneva Cern's particle accelerator
laboratory, there a new, revolutionary safer

Brain Tumors Brain Stem

Brain CanceThe brain is the center of thought,
emotion, memory, speech, and many more, and it is
the most sophisticated organ in the human body. A
hard skull protects the brain where it floats in a
fluid called Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF). The brain
is generally set apart from the rest of the body,
and functions rather differently too. Most of the
brain cells are called astrocytes, and they
basically support and serve the 10 billion working
cells that are called neurons. These neurons make
about 1...

Atomic Bombs Nuclear Energy
244 words
Nuclear Energy should be produced because it is an
alternative to fossil fuel. Nuclear energy helps
to conserve our national resources that we use as
fuel such as coil, oil, and natural gas. Another
pro of nuclear energy is that radiation that is
given off by nuclear energy is mostly thought of a
very dangerous thing but it can be used in
positive ways too. For example, if you break a
bone a doctor can inject a radioactive phosphorous
compound, which is a compound that concentrates on
active gro...

Ice Sheets Ice Ages

Continental Glaciers The Action of Ice on Land As
glaciers become extremely large, they eventually
reach the lowlands, which is essentially more
gentle terrain. As these huge glaciers reach the
lowlands, they travel much more slowly, because
they no longer have the steep mountain sides to
push the ice down faster. Once on the lowlands,
the glacier spreads out for they are no longer
restricted by valleys, and become known as Ice
Sheets. As long more snow falls than ice melts,
Ice Sheets will cont...

Biological And Cultural Adaptive Radiation Erectus
457 words
About one million years ago, Homo erectus
populations began migrating out of East Africa.
They soon spread into South and West Africa, Asia
and Europe. This adaptive radiation was the result
of several biological and cultural factors. H.
erectus was physically larger than earlier
hominids. This probably allowed them to fun faster
and further than their ancestors and could have
given them an advantage in hunting and escaping.
It may also have increased their food gathering
abilities by expanding ...

only 4 % of the population of the world, it still

Reduce The Amount Ozone Layer

Society has been widely addressed with the many
problems that we are having in our environment
today. A major problem is that of CFCs. CFC stands
for Chlorofluorocarbons which are found in many of
the aerosol spray cans. In December of 1973,
Rowland and Molina discovered that CFCs can
destroy the ozone in the stratosphere. In June
1975, the Natural Resources Defence Council (NRDC)
sued the Consumers Product Safety Commission for a
band of CFCs used in aerosol spray cans. United
