Doublespeak: Nuclear Power Plants
Words: 504 / Pages: 2 .... by nuclear employees only, or
euphemisms and jargon, to mislead the public and make them believe that there is
nothing to be afraid of and that there is no possibility of a major accident.
They take the public's biggest fears, meltdowns and contaminations, and make
them into "events" and "infiltrations." This use of doublespeak is misleading to
the public and may make them believe that a major accident hasn't happened, or
the accident was a normal event or minor incident.
In 1979 a valve in the Three Mile Island stuck open, allowing coolant,
an important part of the plant, to escape from the reactor. An installed
emergency system did its job and .....

The Search For Black Holes: Both As A Concept And An Understanding
Words: 2169 / Pages: 8 .... insight on how black holes are formed and might be
tracked down in our more technologically advanced future. Gaining an
understanding of a black hole allows for a greater understanding of the concept
of spacetime and maybe give us a grasp of both science fiction and science fact.
Hopefully, all the clarification will come by the close of this essay.
A black hole is probably one of the most misunderstood ideas among
people outside of the astronomical and physical communities. Before an
understanding of how it is formed can take place, a bit of an introduction to
stars is necessary. This will shed light (no pun intended) on the black hole
philosophy .....

The Wolverine
Words: 289 / Pages: 2 .... Wolverine ranges from northern Europe and Siberia through northern
North America. Their distribution once extended as far south as Colorado,
Indiana, Pennsylvania, and perhaps Michigan.
It looks like a weasel maybe because it is in the weasel family.It has
black and brown fur and long claws.It’s legs are short but strong. The Wolverine
is usually solitary except for members of the opposite sex and a female's young.
After the females give birth they hide with their young. The mother defends her
territory and intruders are not tolerated. This territorial behavior continues
until the young are ready to hunt on their own.
The Wolverine has a diet t .....

Euthanasia
Words: 1923 / Pages: 7 .... is unable to consent as justifiable, because it resolves a hopeless situation. Conversely, even with this gradation, some opponents to euthanasia believe that voluntary, passive euthanasia is the same as suicide; involuntary euthanasia is considered to be murder.
Because euthanasia poses classic dilemmas as to its morality, it is not surprising that many issues arise in the legal and medical arenas. In law, the resolution of a particular case cannot always be applied to resolve another. In the medical realm, interpretation of medical doctrine concerning treatment of terminally-ill patients can result in entirely different applications.
In two .....

Our Radiant Planet- Depletion Of The Ozone Layer
Words: 978 / Pages: 4 .... and cooling in fridges. However
when released into the stratosphere, such molecules can be broken down by
energetic light rays (UV-C radiation) in a reaction that liberates an atom of
chlorine, which destroys ozone by oxidising with the Ozone molecules, forming
Cl-O and Oxygen. One atom of chlorine can destroy 10,000 ozone molecules! Atoms
containing bromine, nitrous oxide, and hydrogen oxide radicals are also
primarily dangerous. As a result, the Ozone in the stratosphere has been reduced
to such an extent that ozone holes are appearing around the globe, in particular
one over Antarctica that in 1995 measured 8.2 million square miles. This
dep .....

Linux 2
Words: 6064 / Pages: 23 .... UNIX. UNIX is both one of the oldest and one of the most powerful operating systems available today. "How can UNIX be old and yet powerful by today's standards”, you ask. The answer to this question lies in the history of UNIX; UNIX is a sort of subset of a much larger and more complex operating system called MULTICS. Both UNIX and MULTICS were developed decades ago for very large computers; only now, decades later are personal computers finally powerful enough to tackle these multitasking, multi-user systems with advanced features. Getting back to the crux of our first fact, LINUX looks like UNIX. LINUX is not officially UNIX simply be .....

The Black Hole
Words: 1309 / Pages: 5 .... take
a look at the basis for the cause of a black hole. All black holes are
formed from the gravitational collapse of a star, usually having a great,
massive, core. A star is created when huge, gigantic, gas clouds bind
together due to attractive forces and form a hot core, combined from all
the energy of the two gas clouds. This energy produced is so great when it
first collides, that a nuclear reaction occurs and the gases within the
star start to burn continuously. The Hydrogen gas is usually the first
type of gas consumed in a star and then other gas elements such as Carbon,
Oxygen, and Helium are consumed.
This chain reaction fuels th .....

Bioethics
Words: 1691 / Pages: 7 .... would be ethically and legally unacceptable.
Nevertheless, there have been clear documented cases of abuse in recent times.
An example of this is the experiments conducted by Nazi doctors on prisoners in
the concentration camps during the Holocaust.
Does this mean that since there is potential for abuse, all
experimentation should be banned? This would mean that society would be
condemned to remain at the same level of knowledge (status quo)?
Bioethically speaking, how far can we go in the study of the human
without crossing the line? The fundamental question is, since we are the ones
drawing the line, where do we draw it?
The purpose of .....

Lasers 2
Words: 1125 / Pages: 5 .... than radio waves, the have a higher information carrying capacity. In beams of light,individual photon waves are not moving along together because they are not being emitted at the same instant but instead in random short bursts. Such beams are called incoherent.
The process for laser action, was first proposed by Albert Einstein in 1917. The working principles of lasers were outlined by the American physicists Arthur Leonard Schawlow and Charles Hard Townes in their 1958 patent application. The patent was granted but was later challenged by the American physicist and engineer Gordon Gould. In 1960 the American physicist Theodore Maiman o .....

The Quicksilver
Words: 325 / Pages: 2 .... gold and silver. European and American scientists developed a new advanced
way for this- amalgams. Amalgams are alloys of mercury usually used to extract
elements from there various ores. Then, once the common metal is extracted
mercury is then separated through distillation.
Without mercury our world would be much different. We would have
different, if any, ways of determining temperature. Mercury is also used in
cleaning modern day swimming pools as "Mercury Vapor lamps" for sterilization.
Mercury can be used in both reconstructing and destroying life in water ways
depending upon the attention people give it. We would have no fast, economica .....
