Polymers
.... are being created with more strength and flexibility by combing two chemically different polymers and producing a block copolymer. Combinations of block copolymers and composites and intended for use in booster rockets and in materials of Earth-orbiting installations. Most common polymers are usually solid, but a new class of polymers is being introduced in a liquid crystal state.
Although these polymers still have the physical characteristics of liquid, they are structured more like solids. Many liquid crystals are transparent at one temperature and colored at another temperature. This makes them suitable for use in liquid crys .....

Malthus' Principle Of Population: Today And The Future
.... since natural disasters are unpredictable and may increase if the forecasted effects of global warming materialize. Also, environmental degradation is increasing while water allocations are decreasing.
Society will not be suddenly surprised by a “crisis point” at which food supplies are no longer adequate. Todays isolated anarchy and famine (which is politically inspired) in Africa could easily turn into a world wide sustenance inspired problem during the first half of the next century.
Humans are the only creatures endowed with the ability to evaluate the consequences of their own actions. Since the problem transcends all .....

Similarities And Differences Between The Romantic Age And The Victorian Period
.... industrial society, and from home manufacturing to factory production. When Napoleon came into power, people became as violent and corrupt as their former rulers. This was known as the Reign of Terror. "England emerged from the eighteenth century a parliamentary state in which the monarchy was largely a figurehead," according to Pfordresher. (Pfordresher, 423). The Victorian Period was from 1832 until 1901. It marked the climax of England's rise to economic and military dominance (Pfordresher, 543). The Romantic spirit didn't disappear, but it wasn't the leading influence. "The Romantic Period shaded gradually into the Victorian A .....

Creation Versus Evolution
.... their religious beliefs on students who do not believe in God, or in the same god. This is where the separation of Church and State comes into play. Evolutionists are adamant about keeping religion out of school, according to the guidelines of the Constitution. The Supreme Court ruling that stated that creation science is religious in nature and cannot be legislated in the classroom (Flank) is one of the cornerstones of their argument. Another defense on which the Evolutionists base their view is that evolution is not simply "just a theory." They feel this accusation "demonstrates a basic ignorance of the methods and princ .....

Circus Animals
.... qualified to treat exotic animals, are not always present or available. As a result animals suffer and die due to the lack of proper medical attention.
Physical confinement is very harmful physiologically and psychologically. The Born Free Foundation conducted a study that found that 22% of the time confined elephant’s present abnormal action, like repeated head bobbing or swaying. Confined bears spend 30% of their time pacing.
Training is another concern. Physical punishment has long been the standard training method for animals in circuses. These methods are simply cruel. They include the use of electric prods, whips, an .....

Acid Rain And Its Effects
.... This results in many lakes and streams being completely dead of fish and all other living things.
Acid rain also greatly contributes to forest degradation, even more so to high-elevated trees, it also impairs the tree growth. Acid rain effects forest soil. As acid moves through soils, it strips away vital plant nutrients through chemical reaction, resulting in a threat to future forest productivity.
Acid rain is also capable of eroding metals, including iron (the most important structural metal) stone and paint. Because of this acid rain accelerates the decay of building materials, statues, sculptures, and irreplaceable cult .....

The Invention Of The Telegram
.... follows the prospect of compelling England in a few months to make peace" - ZIMMERMANN
Considering this telegram was sent to Mexico, it shows Mexican importance in this war. Mexico had two thousand miles of undefended coastline on the Pacific . Her northern boarder with the United States stretched for twelve hundred miles from Texas to California, touching all along all along its length against territory that had once been her own. Mexicans remembered the Alamo too. Mexico was, in short, the soft underbelly of the United States. Mexico also had a system of railways which connected to the United States at key points which made .....

Oxygen
.... the means by which animals derive the energy needed to sustain life. Furthermore, oxygen is the most abundant element at the surface of the Earth. In combined form it is found in ores, earth’s, rocks, and gemstones, as well as in all living organisms.
Oxygen is a gaseous chemical element in Group VA of the periodic table. The chemical symbol for atomic oxygen is O, its atomic number is 8, and its atomic weight is 15.9994. Elemental oxygen is known principally in the gaseous form as the diatomic molecule, which makes up 20.95% of the volume of dry air. Diatomic oxygen is colorless, odorless, and tasteless.
Two 18th-century sci .....

Telekinesis
....
Many of the 'star children' --those who remember that they are connected to other worlds and realities--will try to tap into their higher gifts. 'Patience' is the name of the game. As the planet is shifting now into 4th dimensional frequency you will soon get to use these powers and be able to control them.
For those who write to me and ask me to teach telekinesis, it is not possible to do this by email. I am sorry that I can not be of help developing it. Personally I have only random telekinetic experiences-- more with breaking objects, like pencils, than bending them. I have tried seeing an object as the components of thou .....

The Element Cesium
.... the most reactive of Alkali metals. There are four principle compounds that make up Cesium’s structure: Cesium Chloride, Cesium Fluoride, Cesium Carbonate, and Cesium Sulfate. The most important compound is Chloride, which is used as a constituent of getter mixtures of vacuum tubes. Cesium is identified qualitatively by it’s blue flame. When determining quantitative amount of Cesium, the fact that Cesium forms an extremely insoluble alum is a major factor.
Cesium is not very abundant on in the earth’s crust- only around seven parts per million . This does, however, place Cesium concentration above that of Beryllium, Arsenic, .....

The Depletion Of Ozone Layer
.... level, where it can cause sun burn, skin cancer and cataracts. Research suggests that any additional UV-B (ultra-violet radiation) at ground level could depress our bodies’ immune systems, damage the natural food chain and reduce crop yields. Although ozone makes up less that 1ppm of all the gases in our planet’s atmosphere, but it is essential to life on earth. Scientists assume that in the early days of the earth’s evolution there was no atmosphere, but gases from planet surfaces and volcanoes slowly collected. At first, the gas was little protection from the sun’s UV radiation. But according to some evolutionary theories, li .....

How Humans And Fish Obtain Oxygen
.... that cary the oxygen to every part of the lung till they meet the thin sacs called aveoli. Aveoli are thin sacs in the lungs that carry oxygen in and carbon dioxide out of the blood stream. They diffuse the oxygen into the blood cells that need it and in turn diffuse carbon dixoxide out. Diffusion is an easy method for the transfer of oxygen because it dosent take any energy and since the walls of the aveoli are only 1 cell thick it diffuses without any problems. After the oxygen is diffused into your blood it is then used for cellular respiration and many other things. But there is a waste product to this activity which is wha .....
