Ph Of 5 Sulphur Dioxide
1,087 wordsAcidity is measured using a pH scale, with the number 7 being neutral. A substance with a pH value of less than 7 is acidic, while one of a value greater than 7 is basic. A substance with a pH of 6 is 10 times more acidic than another with a pH of 7. Usually the pH of 5. 6 has been used as the baseline in identifying acid rain, although there has been much debate over the acceptance of this value.

Identical Twins Human Cloning
690 wordsCloning A Step in The Right Direction It all began with the experimentation of Dolly the first genetically cloned animal. Since this scientific breakthrough, President Clinton, realizing the effects this would have on the human race as a whole, banned the cloning of humans for five years.

Chaos Theory Sickle Cell
1,215 wordsThe Fun Filled Fractal Phenomenon A fractal is a type of geometric figure. It is generated by starting with a very simple pattern such as a triangle and, through the application of many repeated rules, adding to the figure to make it more complicated. Often, an input will be entered into a recursive function and it will yield an output. This output is then inserted back into the function as an input and the process is repeated infinitely. Fractals often exhibit self-similarity. This means that e...
