Three Dimensional National Hurricane
1,202 words
When I was told that I had to pick a topic that
was related to science I knew that I was going to
write about hurricanes. I have had this
fascination with this a monstrous turbulence since
I can remember. The definition for hurricane is a
disturbance that forms over warm water and has
sustaining winds that exceed over 74 mph. My
report will give you a brief summary of what a
hurricane is and how today's technology is helping
with the prediction of hurricanes. You " re

History Of Time Wanted To Study
1,503 words
Stephen W. Hawking has a mind set that is beyond
today's general way thinking. His attempts to
identify a grand unification theory that unites
everything we know about the physical world and
science far exceeds any realm of thinking that has
ever graced this earth. Hawking was born on
January 8, 1942 in Oxford, England. He spent most
of his childhood in and around London, and was
always a bit of a self-educator. He was interested
in the stars, and his family used to lie out on
the grass looking ...

Gas And Dust Billions Of Years
1,652 words
Our lives are intimately linked to the stars, but
in ways much more down to earth than the romantic
views of them. As we all know, our sun is a star
and the thermonuclear reactions that are
continuously taking place inside it are what
provide and sustain life on our planet. What do we
get from the sun? We get carbon, oxygen, calcium
and iron, courtesy of stars that disappeared
billions of years ago (Naeye, 1998). Star
formation is a study in contradictions because the
formation of a star begins ...

Sense Data Space Time

One night I saw a TV program, Einstein's Universe.
I turned it on because it was narrated by Peter
Ustinov, whom I admire, even though I'm tired of
Einstein's universe. The program was well done. A
great effort was made to make a clear and
convincing dramatization of the universe according
to Einstein; just enough mystique to sugar the
dull sterility of science. What bothered me most
was the subservient role of Peter Ustinov playing
an average man who didn't know science, feeling
privileged to b...

Isaac Newton Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein: Great Scientist, Curious Man In
the study of a scientist's life, it is important
to recognize several key elements. Scientific
contributions are of utmost importance. Following
mention of those, it is then possible to look at
his or her life, family, and religion as well.
However, for Albert Einstein, these elements must
all be looked at collectively. Einstein will no
doubt go down in history as a great theoretical
physicist. His work is compared in importance to
that of scienti...

Studying the Effect of Various Glucose
Concentrations on Osmosis in a Potato Osmosis is
the process in which water particles move from an
area of high water concentration to an area of low
water concentration through a semi-permeable
membrane until the concentrations are equal.
Osmosis has the same basic theory as diffusion.
Particles are moving from an area where they are
in great concentration to an area where they are
in low concentration until the concentrations are
the same. Osmosis is this...

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...

Shroud Of Turin Jesus Christ

... earch now questions the validity of those
tests. No other artifact has received as much
scientific focus as the Shroud and yet it remains
a mystery. Some believe it to be a medieval hoax,
yet the Shroud image and all of its uniqueness
cannot be duplicated by any known physical
process. Although carbon dated to the Middle Ages
it seems even more incredible that someone from
that era could have artificially produced this

Electricity Electricity WHAT IS ELECTRICITY
Electricity is a form of energy. Thats because we
can use electricity to do things for us, like run
machines and computers. Electricity also can be
transformed into other types of energy such as
heat or light and is used to heat our homes, light
our cities and towns and power the computers we
are using. Electricity is the type of energy that
is invisible. Its made of moving electrons that
are so small and move so fast that we cannot see
them. The elect...

paper is the human immunodeficiency virus, HIV,
and whether or not mutations undergone by the
virus allow it to survive in the immune system.
The cost of treating all persons with AIDS in 1993
in the United States was $ 7. 8 billion, and it is
estimated that 20, 000 new cases of AIDS are
reported every 3 months to the CDC. This question
dealing with how HIV survives in the immune system
is of critical importance, not only in the search

contemporary physicists passed away. David Bohm,
whose work inspired many people all over the

H 2 O Mass Spectrometer

AMass Spectrometer Mass Spectrometer A mass
spectrometer produces charged particles (ions)
from the chemical substances that are to be
analyzed. The mass spectrometer then uses electric
and magnetic fields to measure the mass (weight)
of the charged particles. There are many different
kinds of mass spectrometers, but all use magnetic
and / or electric fields to exert forces on the
charged particles produced from the chemicals to
be analyzed. A basic mass spectrometer consists of
three parts: 1. ...

Introduction Mytilus Californianus, also known as
the California mussel, is one of the most common
creatures on California's rocky shores and in tide
pools. They are generally grayish black in color
and have very hard shells that only the strongest
(or smartest) of predators can open. These mussels
attach themselves to rocks very tightly. From time
to time they sneak their foot out and touch the
rocks, secreting a special thread of cement. After

A policy that forbids any employee capable of
reproducing from working with lead is a policy
that interferes with the employees freedom of
choice. Many women viewed Johnson Controls policy
regarding fetal protection as another way to
exclude women from the workplace. Johnson Controls
refused to hire any women who could not prove that
they could not get pregnant and there were no
exceptions. In 1990, only twelve (12) women worked
