Ecstasy The Hug Drug

... and pulse rate. With a rise of blood pressure comes dehydration. The problems increase with a higher dosage. Unfortunately, ecstasy today has a completely different prescription. Teenagers who attend all night dance parties have a "mind-blowing time," according to U.S. Customs Commissioner Raymond Kelly, "primarily use ecstasy". The drug breaks down communication barriers and allows a great recipe for intimate contact, which a lot of young people today strive for. The positive feelings that people report are very similar to tha ...

Forensic Science

... is developing a secret nuclear weapons program. It can help law enforcement officials determine whether any laws or regulations have been violated in the marketing of foods and drinks, the manufacture of medicines, or the use of pesticides on crops. It can also determine whether drinking water meets legal purity requirements. The medical examiner is the most important individual in an investigation of a crime involving a victim. It is the responsibility of the medical examiner to visit the crime scene, conduct an autopsy ( ...

The Creation Of The Universe

... to us. We question the existence of God, or the creation of mankind rather than blindly accepting faith-filled beliefs we may received from our parents as children. Perhaps it is because we live in a nation filled with many peoples of different beliefs whose Gods are all so varied and different that it is difficult to fathom that they are all the same divine being. It is also plausible that we just have a desire to quench the thirst for knowledge that lies deep within ourselves. As for myself, I cannot believe in a being which created a uni ...

ADHD ON INTELLIGENCE

... underachievement becoming a common correlate. Since these children do not meet the expectations of society and their learning environment they are usually met with anger, punishment, and rejection. In turn these children develop a low-self esteem and low levels of motivation (Morgan, 1997). The etiology of ADHD is still a mystery to researchers. Within the field there are many correlates to biological (genetic) and social causes. The present paper seeks to explore current research through investigating the social and bio-genetic infl ...

Global Warming…Fact Or Fiction?

... some scientists may tell the public. It will also attempt to show how data reports from governmental agencies differ with their own collection of data. Global warming is not something to be concerned with. The computer models that are used to predict climate change are unreliable as the programming data is skewed and so is the data being put into the model’s equations. This paper will hopefully shed new light on a hot topic with some cold science! Table of Contents Page i . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Abstract Page ii . . . . .. . . . . ...

Genetic Observations Through The Studies Of Hybrid Corn, Single Gene Human Traits, And Fruit Flies

... to provide a theoretically expected value for allele frequencies for single human gene traits. Lastly, we dealt with Drosophila melanogaster and we examined red and white eye alleles to determine if this gene is sex-linked or autosomal. During the mid 1800’s Mendel bred garden peas to study inheritance. He choose these plants because of their well defined characteristics and the ability to be grown and crossed (Campbell, 1996). Mendel wanted to know the genetic basis for variation among individuals and what accounted for the transmiss ...

Water Transitions

... is made up of freshwater (744 Headlam). Next, there is saltwater, or seawater. Seawater consists of fifty- five percent chlorine, and thirty-one percent sodium (Groliers). It makes up approximately ninety-seven and two tenths percent of the total volume of the world's water, and covers more than seventy percent of the earth's surface (Groliers). Sea water doesn't just contain hydrogen, oxygen, sodium, and chlorine; it also contains every naturally occurring element. Although seawater has a fairly constant ratio of major elements, salin ...

Cloning

... ways of a human. Creating lives using science was not God's original plan. He made man and woman and the offspring of these humans were to be produced through a wonderful and special moment between man and woman. Science has no part in producing a child and no one, no matter how intelligent, has any right to tamper with God's creations. It has been almost a hundred years since the first clone was ever created. In the year 1902, a German embryologist by the name of Hans Spermann used a strand of hair as a noose to split apart cells of a two-c ...

The Big Bang

... fireball--an extremely hot dense state from which the universe rapidly expanded.1 The Big Bang was the start of time and space. The matter and radiation of that early stage rapidly expanded and cooled. Several million years later, it condensed into galaxies. The universe has continued to expand, and the galaxies have continued moving away from each other ever since. Today the universe is still expanding, as astronomers have observed. The Steady State model says that the universe does not evolve or change in time. There was no b ...

The Classification And Formation Of Crystals

... and some classes have never been seen. The thirty-two classes are grouped into six crystal systems, based on the length and position of the crystal axes. Crystal axes are imaginary lines passing through the center of the crystals. Minerals in each system share certain proportions and crystal form and many important optical properties. The six crystal systems are very important to a mineralogists and geologists; specification of the system is necessary in the description of each crystal system. Isometric This system comprises crystals ...

Nuclear Power

... Dr. Cohen believes that the general public has been manipulated by irresponsible journalists and "sensation-seeking" scientists into thinking that any and all exposure to radiation is harmful to human health. In this critique I plan on reviewing some of the major issues brought up by each side and try to show how each author has distorted or skewed data. Then I plan on giving my interpretation and opinion on the future of nuclear power. Dr. Gofman seems to have many confusing ideas about the concept of nuclear power. First of all he shoots ...

One major component that effects the water wildlife is the insecticide DDT which damages animal tissue and is dangerous to humans , this can be passed along the foodchain. Marine Environments : 80% of the waste which is pumped into the sea each year is produced by dredging, 10% is industrial waste and 10% is sewage. Some of the consiquences due to this are :- presence of toxic substances and the rapid uptake of contaminants by marine organisms to name but a few. Oil spillages either by ...
