.... are also derivatives of a natural polymer, cellulose. They hold a special place in polymer history, because their invention in a lot of ways was the beginning of an explosion in the invention of synthetic polymers which continues to this day. Cellulose derivatives are forms of cellulose, a polymer found in wood, cotton, and paper, which have been chemically altered. Scientists first started to make them in the second half of the nineteenth century, long before we really even knew what a polymer was. The very first came about when a scientist reacted cellulose, in the form of cotton, with nitric acid. The result was cellulose nitrate. Cellulose nitrate, also .....

.... didn't investigate them. Unidentified flying objects do not exist because other life can't evolve anywhere else and hoaxes and human misconceptions are responsible for over 90% of sightings. The Air Force can prove UFOs do not exist since the sightings have been missed as hoaxes and human misconceptions. Humans have mistaken "meteor trails, comets, odd shaped clouds, balls of lightning, burning marsh gases, airplanes, lights of cars, birds, and many other objects as UFOs," (Kraske 22). Pranksters have also misled UFO investigation by doing actions that confuse and mislead humans. For example, they flash images of car headlights and city lights on the Eart .....

.... more efficiently. Blood pressure will lower because the heart muscle does not have to work as hard to pump the blood. The heart will beat fewer times per minute while it is at rest, but it will be able to deliver a greater amount of blood with each stroke as a result of adequate conditioning. Conditioning has other benefits to cardiovascular fitness as well. It will increase oxygenation of the blood due to the fact that while exercising deep breathing increases the blood flow to the lungs. Under a well-planned conditioning program conditioning can help to decrease cholesterol and the incidents of deadly heart disease. Individuals who exercise regularly have a .....

.... that are always into things, trying to find out how things work. He was especially interested in the outdoors. He was a very smart child, but his father, Robert Waring Darwin II, didn't think so. "Darwin had a youth unmarked by the slightest trace of genius." (Rachels,7). This didn't stop Darwin, though. He never lost this curiosity throughout the years. At the age of 18, he made a very important discovery about flustra, which is "1. That the ova of the Flustra possess organs of motion and 2. That the small black globular body hithero mistaken for the young Fucus lorious is in reality the ovum of the Pontobdella Muricata." (Rachels,7). In the early 1 .....

.... movement, including breathing, halts. Muscle weakness first develops in the muscles of body parts distant from the brain, such as the hands, and subsequently spreads through other muscle groups closer to the brain. Such early symptoms as this, however, can hardly be noticed. Early symptoms of are very slight and often overlooked. They begin as simple things, such as tripping or dropping things. Twitching or cramping of muscles and abnormal fatigue of the arms and legs may soon follow, causing difficulty in daily activities, such as walking or dressing. In more advanced stages, however, shortness of breath or difficulty in breathing and swallowing ensue, un .....

.... on wildlife is the maintenance of feeding areas by preventing succession of a habitat to its top state. INTRODUCTION Fire is an important part of many ecosystems, affecting wildlife populations in various ways, such as by changing habitat, affecting food supply or quality, or by altering interactions of species. Fire suppression has allowed forested areas to achieve a climax state which provides less forage for wildlife. While terrestrial wildlife is benefited by fire, aquatic ecosystems are negatively impacted by large fires through the increase in sediment flow. Fire is essential in maintaining biological diversity in the Northern Rocky Mountain forests .....

.... types of hemophilia. Hemophilia A, which is the most common and is also called classic hemophilia. Hemophilia B or Christmas disease, named after the first patient diagnosed and treated with hemophilia B. Hemophilia B lacks AHF (antihemophilic factor). About 85% of hemophiliacs have classic or hemophilia A. Hemophilia A's blood lacks the clotting factor eight. The rest of the 85% have Christmas, which lacks clotting factor nine. An extremely small number of hemophiliacs lack yet another kind of clotting factor. Both A and B forms have also been called the royal disease. Hemophilia was inherited by decedents of England's Queen Victoria and introduced in .....

.... Microscopic Organisms 1. Archaebacteria 2. Rickettsiae Microbiology What is Microbiology? Microbiology is the study of microorganisms. This includes protozoans, algae, fungi, bacteria, viruses, and rickettsiae. A microbiologist is a scientist who studies life forms that can only be observed by means of a microscope. Microbiologists use many criteria to classify bacteria. The Beginning of Microbiology Zacharias Jansen created the microscope. Although Robert Hooke is the one who made it widely known. In 1665 Hooke pu .....
