on animal is inhumane. I. Put yourself into an
animals position. Imagine that you are being poked
and probed by needles for the benefits of humans.

Plague Of Tics Stories A Plague Sedaris
1,177 words
One may view David Sedaris, without the knowledge
of his background, as abnormal or even weird.
However, throughout the two stories, A Plague of
Tics, and Ashes, he breaks down the wall of
otherness and allows an audience to take a look at
his own personal life. Sedaris incorporates all
sorts of humor to somewhat ease the tension of
revealing his life and the awkwardness the
audience may feel while reading his stories. The
autobiographical point of view allows the audience
to get a real sense of...

Electromagnetic Radiation Infrared Radiation
1,377 words
You might remember the heroic role that
newly-invented radar played in the Second World
War. People hailed it then as "Our Miracle Ally."
But even in its earliest years, as it was helping
win the war, radar proved to be more than an
expert enemy locator. Radar technicians, doodling
away in their idle moments, found that they could
focus a radar beam on a marshmallow and toast it.
They also popped popcorn with it. Such was the
beginning of microwave cooking. The very same
energy that warned the B...

Grand Coulee Columbia River
1,070 words
There are many different ways to harness the
energy in water. The most common way of capturing
this energy is hydroelectric power, which is just
electricity created by falling water. The reason
we are now searching for the new ways of energy
particularly the way of water is because we need
something that will last us longer than that of
the fossil fuels that we are using this day in
age. In the earlier years of Washington we needed
a way to get energy in the PNW so we came up with
the way of Hyd...

Funk And Wagnalls Carbon Dioxide
941 words
Carbon dioxide lasers are one of the most powerful
lasers ever constructed. The word LASER stands for
Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of
Radiation. Lasers are devices that amplify light
and produce light beams, ranging from infrared to
ultraviolet. A light beam is consistent when its
waves or photons, increase while mixing together.
Laser light can be extremely intense, highly
directional and very pure in color. Gas lasers
such as the carbon dioxide laser is made active by
ultraviolet...

Computers On The Other Hand Back To Back Human
428 words
I'm sitting down at a computer that has very vast
capabilities. It is capable of almost any
application, but it being only the size of my
history textbook, leaves it fragile and
vulnerable. With a few light slams, or the pass of
a powerful magnet, it's very existence could be
destroyed. Ancient times suggest not only survival
of the fittest, but also survival of the smartest.
Long ago the dinosaurs went extinct leaving many
of the bigger brained mammals the dominant
species. Then the larger brai...

Bermuda Triangle Ancient Greeks

The Bermuda Triangle is shrouded, in a thick cloud
of mystery, in a thick cloud of controversy, and a
thick cloud of argument. Not even the location of
the Triangle is agreed on. The most common
description of its location is the triangle formed
by linking Bermuda, Miami, and Puerto Rico. But
there is also two other descriptions: The Devil's
Triangle is more like a blob that covers most of
the western Caribbean. The Limbo of the lost is an
area that stems from Miami to Barbados to the

Description Of A Class Fire Extinguisher
766 words
A fire extinguisher is a portable or movable
apparatus used to put out a small fire by
directing onto it a substance that cools the
burning material, deprives the flame of oxygen, or
interferes with the chemical reactions occurring
in the flame. Water performs two of these
functions: its conversion to steam absorbs heat,
and the steam displaces the air from the vicinity
of the flame. Many simple fire extinguishers,
therefore, are small tanks equipped with hand
pumps or sources of compressed gas ...

Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About dB But
Were Afraid to Ask Telecommunications systems used
electrical signals and copper wire to transmit
voice messages long before lasers, lightwave's and
fiber optic cable. To describe and measure power
levels in electrical systems, telecommunication
engineers used the standard unit of decibels to
express gain or loss and relative power levels.
Meanwhile, scientists working with fiber optic
signals were using units of milli watts (mW) to
determine the a...

Neuro Transmission Positive Charge

neurotransmitters play a central and critical role
in our psychological existence, identity, and
experience of the world Neurotransmitters are
chemicals that communicate between nerves. In some
ways, neurons are like computers: they receive
messages, process those messages, and send out the
results as new messages to other cells. In the
case of neurons, messages consist of chemicals
that interact with the outer surface of the cell
membrane. This chemical interaction with the cell
membrane causes...

A Summary: Ion Channels in the Nerve-Cell Membrane
In this article, Richard D. Keynes details the
workings of ion channels in nerve cell membranes.
Nerve impulses (action potentials) are the unit by
which information travels in an organisms nervous
system, and the generation of this action
potential is dependent on the nerve membrane being
permeable to ions which in turn makes said
membrane excitable. Electrical activity of a nerve
is triggered by a depolarization across the
membrane and this al...

Bandwidth is the capacity for carrying digital
information. In the past few years, bandwidth has
been increasing at roughly twice the rate of
computing power. Data traffic has been doubling
every 100 days (according to the U. S. Department
of Commerce) and it is predicted that that
Internet traffic will reach 16 million terabytes
by 2003. Fiber is the transport medium of choice.
It out performs copper, coaxial cable, and high
frequency radio in data-carrying ability. As

Fossil Fuel Mechanical Energy

Hydro Power My alternative power source is Hydro
power. It comes from water. The oldest and
simplest form was the water wheel first used in
ancient Greece for grinding grain. The water wheel
design was changed by Jean Victor Ponce let in the
18 th century. He made the blades curved which
raised the efficiency by 70 percent. The water
wheel was now called a hydraulic turbine. The
turbine is a rotary engine that changes the energy
of a moving stream of water to mechanical energy.
