... research of cloning has helped scientists become aware of the way genes operate. With continuous research into the ways of cloning scientists could come to understand the ways cells and genes work. As the information grows we will be able to get rid of genetic diseases and defects. “As geneticists have come to understand the ways in which genes operate, they have also become aware of the myriad ways in which the environment affects their ‘expression.’” In the future people will be able to decide what their child will look like and what kind of base intelligence the child will have, but they will not be able to decide the child’s fate. For the peopl ...
... deaths out of the 550 cases. The most recent outbreak is in Kikwit, Zaire. The outbreak appears to have started with a patient who had surgery in Kikwit on April 10, 1995. Members of the patient's surgical team developed symptoms similar to those of a viral hemorrhagic fever disease. The symptoms of Ebola hemorrhagic fever begin 4 to 16 says after infection. Victims develop fever, chills, headaches, muscle aches, and loss of appetite. The patient will suffer vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pains, soar throat, and chest pain as the virus progresses. The blood fails to clot and patients may bleed from injection sites as well as into the gastrointestinal tract, ...
... were particularly interested in natural "forcings" -- factors that can affect the climate significantly but which are not part of the climate system itself. Based on statistical comparisons of reconstructed northern hemisphere temperatures, the best estimates indicate that natural changes in the brightness of the sun and volcanic emissions both played an important role in governing climate variations over the period studied. But over the past few decades, greenhouse gases produced by human activities appear to have had an increasing influence on temperatures. "The anomalous warmth of several recent years appears likely to be related to human influences on climate," ...
... directed toward those who reside with the dog which makes affected dogs difficult to live with (Horwitz 42). According to Dodman, traditional treatments of dominance-related aggression include an increase in exercise, brushing up on obedience training, and ceasing to engage in any rough play or wrestling (35) . More recently, however, drugs such as Prozac have been used as treatment. Dodman says that Prozac is,"...extremely effective at curtailing dominance-related aggression...enabling owners to quickly gain the upper hand,"(34). Another type of aggression found in canines is seizure-related aggression. Symptoms of seizure-related aggression include a pre-agg ...
... claimed to have FAE, or fetal alcohol effects. The sad thing is that most infants and children who suffer from fetal alcohol effects go unnoticed. They are looked upon as having behavioral problems. Because of this lack of recognition the treatment of their problems are mishandled which creates a very difficult and confusing childhood for these children. (McCreight, 1997). Even when fetal alcohol effects are recognized there is limited treatment. There are hardly any programs in schools and society to help the children maintain normalcy. It was not until 1973 that the deficit was first acknowledged and given a name. Nearly thirty years later we are still ...
... fast data access enables you to read from DVD the same as a hard-disk drive. The best thing of all about the DVD-ROM drive is the fact that it is backward compatible with standard CD-ROM and CD audio discs. DVD-RAM DVD-RAM stands for Digital Versatile Disc - Random Access Memory, and is the approved format by the Official DVD Forum. DVD-RAM are dual sided and can hold up to 2.6 gigabytes per side. They use phase-change as a recording material, “wobbled land and groove” recording method, embossed pits for header information, Zoned Constant Linear Velocity (ZCLV) rotational control, and is a random-access, non-sequential medium. DVD-RAM-Compatible reader ...
... Useful characteristics can be transferred from one species to another, this includes animals with plants and vice a versa. As a result it is possible to make foods with high resistance to whether, temperature, pesticides, etc. therefore crop quality and amount grown would increase. Another area of genetic technology involves inserting genes into plants to make them immune to common viruses, this could increase the crop production. If the crop production could be increased, food would become cheaper and easier to obtain. For economical reasons gene technology is better for the producers and consumers. The producers wouldn’t have to throw some crops away d ...
... The pressure gradient also plays a role in diffusion. Where this is a pressure gradient there is motion of molecules. The pressure gradient is a difference in pressure between two different points. If the concentration of one side of the membrane is greater than the molecules will travel from the higher to lower concentration. Eventually there will be a dynamic equilibrium and there will be no net movement of molecules from one side to the other. Osmosis is the diffusion of water. Like diffusion, the water moves from a region of higher water potential to a region of lower water potential. Solutions have three different stages that the solutes can ...
... was successful in 1954 when he constructed what he called the maser (microwave amplification by stimulated emission of radiation). The maser amplifies the number of photons that cause microwaves. After the invention of the maser many scientists became interested in the idea of building an optical maser, which soon received the name laser (light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation). Townes paired with Arthur Schawlow, two Soviets, Nikolai Basov and Aleksander Prokhorov, as well as Gordon Gould were all interested in developing a light-amplifying device. All of them knew that there were three essential ingredients in making a laser; a florescent mater ...
