.... into coal" (Hertz 1) There are many types of coal, including anthracite, bituminous, sub-bituminous, and lignite. Anthracite has the highest carbon content, anywhere from 86 to 98 percent. And produces nearly 15,000 Btu's per pound (British Thermal Unit, is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of the pound of water one degree Fahrenheit) (Bartow 1) The second type of coal is Bituminous or soft coal. It's the most plentiful type of coal in the States, and is mainly found in the eastern and middle part of the North American continent. Bituminous coal is primary used to generate electricity, and has a carbon content of 45 to 86 percent a .....

.... This can be purified from contaminating bacterial DNA easily and the resulting product is said to have been "cloned". So far, scientists have used genetic engineering to produce, for example: - improve vaccines against animal diseases such as footrot and pig scours; - pure human products such as insulin, and human growth hormone in commercial quantities; - existing antibiotics by more economical methods; - new kinds of antibiotics not otherwise available; - plants with resistance to some pesticides, insects and diseases; - plants with improved nutritional qualities to enhance livestock productivity. Methods: - Manipulation of the Gene pool, whic .....

.... may not possibly of positively true. In the United States, laws have been passed several different ways constituting whether Darwin's theory of "survival of the fittest" can be taught in schools, versus religious belief of Divine creation. From 1920 to 1986 the argument continues in the courtroom, and many, many books have been written debating the issue. Let us look at the three theories in depth. The evolutionist theory made known by Charles Darwin, states that humans came from his theory “survival of the fittest.� Charles Darwin based his theory on individual chances that determined the fate of the species. “Charles Darwin as we recall based .....

.... and understand the ways of past societies. While the artifacts uncovered can be helpful in painting a picture of what the lives of past civilizations were like, the act of digging up such artifacts can be considered immoral. A person claiming to be conducting an archeological study in a present-day cemetery would most definitely be apprehended and punished for his actions. Cemeteries are considered sacred places, and those who violate the laws made to protect them will be punished for their actions. There is no difference between the aforementioned act and that of unearthing sacred Native American burial grounds, for example. Great care was ta .....

.... moment but instead at random short bursts. Even if the light is of a single frequency that statement would also be true. A laser is useful because it produces light that is not only of essentially a single frequency but also coherent, with the light waves all moving along in unison. Lasers consist of several components. A few of the many things that the so-called active medium might consist of are, atoms of a gas, molecules in a liquid, and ions in a crystal. Another component consists of some method of introducing energy into the active medium, such as a flash lamp for example. Another component is the pair of mirrors on either side of the active me .....

.... The particles in a solution are very small. In fact, they are atoms, molecules, or ions, which is why you cannot see them. The particles in a solution are evenly disturbed, or intermingled informally on a molecular level. A small sample of one part of a solution. The particles in a solution will not separate no matter how long the solution is allowed to stand under constant conditions. In a solution, one substance is usually considered to be dissolved, or broken down in another. The substance that is dissolved is called the solute. The substance that does the dissolving is the solvent. Not every substance dissolves in every other subs .....

.... messanger RNA [mRNA] as it contains the protein information. This mRNA leaves the nucleus through a nuclear pore, DNA is too large a molecule to do this, to the cytoplasm. In the cytoplasm there are free transfer RNA [tRNA] molecules which hve three protruding bases these sets of three on the tRNA are called anti-codons. Each tRNA molecule attracts different amino acids, of which there are around twenty, and they "stick" to the tRNA and depending on which tRNA molecule it is it wil attract a diferent amino-acid.On the RNA every three bases are called codons these are complementary to the anti-codons of the tRNA. For instance a codon of - GAA - wo .....

.... the Black Rhino, Leatherback Turtle, and the Wild Tiger. First, the Black Rhino is on the list for mainly one reason and that is because of poaching or illegal hunting. “The Black Rhino also has a long gestation period of 15 months with an interbirth interval of a single calf every 2.5 to 4 years, making it a slow process for rhinos to be introduced back into the world by birth� (International Rhino Foundation 3). “The Black Rhino is illegally hunted for its ivory horn that ranges between one foot to one foot eight inches long� (Speart 26). The animal is slaughtered for its horn while its carcass is left for the vultures. Since the Black R .....

.... gravity generally is lower than normal. Small quantities of brown or red clay, which are signs of organic remains, volcanic ash and lapilli, and coarse, graded layers are found in the trench. Large amounts of remains cannot build up because they either are dragged into the Earth's interior or are distorted into folded masses and molded into new material of the continents. Deep trench in the sea bed indicating the presence of a destructive margin (produced by the movements of plate tectonics). The dragging downwards of one plate of the lithosphere beneath another means that the ocean floor is pulled down. Ocean trenches are found around the edge o .....

.... of S-, M-, and N-type stars, and its resence in stellar matter is leading to new theories of the production of heavy elements in the stars. Nineteen isotopes of technetium, with atomic masses ranging from 90 to 108, are known. 97Tc has a half-life of 2.6 x 10^6 years. 98Tc has a half-life of 4.2 x 10^6 years. The isomeric isotope 95mTc, with a half-life of 61 days, is useful for tracer work, as it produces energetic gamma rays. Technetium metal has been produced in kilogram quantities. The metal was first prepared by passing hydrogen gas at 1100C over Tc2S7. It is now conveniently prepared by the reduction of ammonium pertechnetate with hydrogen. Tec .....
