Three Points One Line
1,555 words
Collinear points are points all in one line.
Coplanar points are points all in one plane. The
intersection of two figures is the set of points
that are in both figures. Statements that are
accepted without proof are called postulates or
axioms. 1. Any two desired points can have
coordinates 0 and 1. 2. The distance between any
tow points equals the absolute value of the
difference of their coordinates. Congruent
segments are segments that have equal lengths. The
midpoint of a segment is the poin...

Using Irradiation to Make Food Safer for Consumers
In the world today, there is a limited access to
fresh and uncontaminated food. Gunjan Sign, of
Popular Science, reports that "The U. S. Centers
of Disease Control estimates 6. 5 million
confirmed cases and more than 25 million
additional unreported incidents of food poisoning
each year" (65). For example, with seventy-five
percent of the chicken in Europe and sixty percent
of the chicken in the United States infected,
salmonella is a serious pr...

deterioration that is increasingly instigated
through car pollution? There is a tremendous
environmental impact on our society that impacts
us in the most unpredicted ways, and Im going to
share some suitable alternatives with you. Todays
technology has presented several alternatives that
could potentially decrease the amount of car
pollution in the environment; however, humans
seemingly neglect these alternatives in favor of
convenience and comfor...

Focal Length Distant Objects
1,280 words
Light and other kinds of electromagnetic radiation
coming from the universe outside the Earth must
travel enormous distances through space and time
to reach observers. Only the brightest and nearest
stars can be seen with the unaided eye. To see
farther and to clarify and measure what is seen, a
telescope is needed. The word telescope is derived
from the Greek words tele, "from afar, " and
shops, "viewer. " Even a simple homemade telescope
can clearly show Saturn's rings, Jupiter's bands
and red...

ter> What Keeps Us Alive Can Also Kill Us
Skin cancer is the most common type of
cancer in the United States. According to current
estimates, 40 to 50 percent of Americans who live
to age 65 will have skin cancer at least once.
There are two different types of skin cancer:
Melanomous and non-melanomas. To understand both
of these terms a little better you need to be
aware that your skin is divided up into 3 layers:
the epidermis, dermis, and sub cutis. The top
layer, the epidermis, is ...

Intellectual Property Rights X Rays
839 words
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
method for treating...

CAT Scanning. The Best in Early Diagnostics? The
modern medicine has gone through many stages
during its evolution. If we are to ask any doctor
what is the most important thing during
medication, most of the times we will get a single
answer: the timely and correct diagnosis. The
history of diagnosis begins with the simplest
visual check and cardiogram, and nowadays
continues with sophisticated ultra-sound
examinations and CAT Scanning. Currently CAT Scan
is the most advanced method of diagnosti...

Cell Lung Cancer Small Cell Lung
3,371 words
Lung cancer is not just one disease but rather a
group of diseases. All forms of cancer cause cells
in the body to change and grow out of control.
Most types of cancer cells form a lump or mass
called a tumor. Cells from the tumor can break
away and travel to other parts of the body where
they can continue to grow. This spreading process
is called metastasis. When cancer spreads, it is
still named after the part of the body where it
started. For example, if breast cancer spreads to
the lungs, it...

Ozone Layer Ultraviolet Rays

The Problem The atmospheric ozone layer protects
all living things from the harmful effects of the
Sun. In recent years however, much damage has been
caused to the ozone layer, causing it to decrease
in size. The depletion of the ozone layer has and
will continue to have many detrimental effects on
all living things on this planet. A thinner layer
will allow more of the suns ultraviolet radiation
to reach the Earths surface. In particular, it
will be the increase of UV-B rays which will have

Electrons Collide Focal Spot Rays
222 words
Production of x-rays requires training a stream of
electrons produced at a metal cathode on a metal
anode. As the electrons collide with atoms in the
anode, they are stopped but their energy is
released in two forms mostly heat and a very small
quantity (1 %) as x-rays. The area ofthe cathode
where the fast moving electrons collide is called
the focal spot and is in fact the source of the
x-rays. The x-rays generated at the focal spot
travel out in all directions. However, the head of
the x-ray ...

Sharks And Rays Electric Fields Signal
257 words
Nearly forty years ago, I observed sharks and rays
respond to weak electric fields. The biological
significance of this finding became evident when
shortly thereafter I discovered the common bio
electric fields in the vicinity of aquatic
animals. The electric sense became an established
fact when I proved that sharks and rays cue in on
the electric fields of prey, even during the dark
or when the prey is hiding in the sand. Field
strengths as low as 1 - 2 nV/cm suffice to alert
them as to the pr...

Ozone Layer Ultraviolet Radiation
1,027 words
Ozone is an important molecule in maintaining the
homeostasis in the environment. Ozone, the
molecule O 3, makes a layer in the stratosphere,
situated 10 to 15 kilometers from the earths
surface. The dioxide molecule, O 2 and Oxygen atom
O, collide with each other result in the formation
of Ozone, O 3. In this reaction, the molecule O 3
contains an excess of energy. Once the molecule is
formed, it is not stable enough to last long. The
energy-rich O 3 molecules discards the excess
energy by coll...

Nj Prentice Hall Green House Effect
1,910 words
Some scientists have proclaimed that the human
race is slowly depleting the layer of ozone which
protects us from ultra violet light. In reality,
humans have very little control of the world in
which we live. Scientific evidence has shown that
there is very little depletion in the ozone layer
and the contributions the human race makes towards
this depletion is and always will be insignificant
compared to nature. The theories of the depletion
and what it would cause are flawed and
contradictory. ...

what brings the disease about, much medical
research has been done to try and help patients
cope with their ailments. The term Sarcoidosis is

M P H Black Hole
3,742 words
Black holes are objects so dense that not even
light can escape their gravity, and since nothing
can travel faster than light, nothing can escape
from inside a black hole. Loosely speaking, a
black hole is a region of space that has so much
mass concentrated in it that there is no way for a
nearby object to escape its gravitational pull.
Since our best theory of gravity at the moment is
Einsteins general theory of relativity, we have to
delve into some results of this theory to
understand black ...
