after you do that. Then you turn the barrel until you can’t see the yellow flame
anymore. Then put the dish in the hottest part of the flame and see what happens.
After you do that. You would cut off the burner by closing the needle value and
closing the barrel. Then you would cut off the gas.

flame, and the coolest part of the flame was the blue cone in the middle. Soot
was on the bottom of the dish the first time. When you put .....

Cloning 2
Words: 946 / Pages: 4 .... of organisms which reproduce asexually,
like corals, are also clones; as are identical twins produced by the natural, or sometimes
deliberate, splitting of a single embryo. Members of a clone are genetically identical and
genetic identity has given cloning an additional more technical meaning: namely the
procedures used to create a new organism whose genetic constitution is a replica of
another existing individual. Such a feat can be achieved by substituting the nucleus, which
contains the genes, from one of the cells making up that individual's body, for the nucleus
of a fertilised egg.
Since our genes dictate to a large extent what .....

Fossil Fuel Consumption, CO2 And Its Impact On Global Climate
Words: 1552 / Pages: 6 .... is closely
correlated with the increases in gross national product thus our economic
development, the major sources of energy (that is fossil fuels) are 'stock
resources'. Fossil fuels are consumed by use and the current consumption
patterns are non-sustainable. It is recognised that energy conservation and the
development of renewable energy sources will be needed to sustain economic
growth. The quantity of ultimately recoverable fossil fuels is limited by
geology and remains a matter of suspicion, but the view of the 1970s that
scarcity was imminent is still popular. It is the 1973 Oil Crisis marked the
transition from abundant, low-cost energ .....

The Effects Of Antibiotics On Bacterial Growth
Words: 1287 / Pages: 5 .... classification of bacteria is according to their need of oxygen
to live. Those who do require oxygen to live are considered aerobes. The
bacteria who don’t use oxygen to live are known as anaerobes.
The shape of specific bacteria provides for the next step in the
identification process. Spherical bacteria are called cocci; the bacteria that
have a rodlike shape are known as bacilli; corkscrew shaped bacteria are
spirilla; and filamentous is the term for bacteria with a threadlike appearance.
Hans Christian Joachim Gram, a Danish microbiologist, developed a method
for distinguishing bacteria by their different reaction .....

Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder
Words: 1297 / Pages: 5 .... in his classic Der Struwelpeter (Slovenly Peter), a collection of humorous moral tales for children. The heroes were taken from his observations of children. In 1902, Dr. G. F. Still, described the behavior of a group of hyperactive children. He knew of no medical reasons for their behavior and made no mention of their educational needs or social skills. He said that part of the problem with ADHD children was "deficient training in the home." In 1923, researcher, F. G. Ebaugh, was one of the first to publish a professional paper recognizing ADHD as a long-term problem requiring cooperation and intervention by several professional disci .....

Mutations
Words: 733 / Pages: 3 .... two strands is complementary.
The arrangement of the bases determines the genetic code of an organism. This code directs the synthesis of proteins at the cellular level. It is written in units called codons, each of which specifies a particular amino acid. (Proteins are composed of amino acids.) A codon consists of a sequence of three bases--for example, GAG or TCA. The four bases can be assembled into 64 possible codons. Because proteins are built from only 20 amino acids, most amino acids are specified by more than one codon.
occur when one base is substituted for another or when one or more bases are inserted or deleted from a gene. Substitutio .....

How To Grow Venus Fly Traps
Words: 1055 / Pages: 4 .... start secreting digestive juices. If the trap closes empty, it will slowly open in about a day. It may take a week to digest a housefly, and when the trap reopens, the shriveled shell of the insect is left behind. A trap may catch and digest up to three insects, after which the leaf turns black. Older leaves blacken and die regardless of how many insects are caught and the plant continually sends out new leaves during the growing season.
Venus flytraps usually grow along the dampish edges of sandy, wet bogs or fens. The plant begins its growth each spring, sending out a resette of small leaves. Usually the plant flowers around April or May. Summer ar .....

Migraines
Words: 711 / Pages: 3 .... to each other. Receptors are special areas that receive these chemical messages. The key neurotransmitter in migraine is called serotonin (often referred to in the scientific literature as 5-HT or 5-hydroxytryptophan). If something interferes with the normal functioning (production, release, receptor docking, and/or re-uptake) of serotonin, that disrupts the normal functioning of the nervous system and can lead to various symptoms associated with migraine.
The severe pain associated with migraine occurs when the mechanism that normally inhibits and/or mediates pain is disabled. There is no actual tissue damage occuring during a migraine attack .....

Computer Viruses
Words: 454 / Pages: 2 .... codes into program files… The virus then spreads to any program that accesses the infected file. A Trogan horse virus (named after the Greek myth) hides within or is designed to look like s legitimate program.
Some viruses interrupt processing by freezing a computer system temporarily and then displaying sounds or messages. Other viruses contain time bombs or logic bombs. A time bomb is a program that performs an activity on a particular date. A logic bomb is a program that performs an activity when a certain action occurs, such as an employee being terminated. A worm, which is similar to a virus, copies itself repeatedly until no more mem .....

Could Gambling Save Science: Encouraging An Honest Consensus
Words: 16316 / Pages: 60 .... without choosing people or
methods. The bulk of this paper is spent examining potential problems with
the proposed approach. After this examination, the idea still seems
plausible and worth further study.
INTRODUCTION
After reviewing the discrepancy between what we want from academic
institutions and what we get from current institutions, a market-based
alternative called "idea futures" is suggested. It is described through
both a set of specific scenarios and a set of detailed procedures. Over
thirty possible problems and objections are examined in detail. Finally, a
development strategy is outlined and the possible advantages are s .....
