.... changes throughout the world. During the disruption, trade winds weaken over the central Pacific Ocean, resulting in a dramatic rise in the ocean temperatures and a depression of the thermocline in the pacific. The thermocline is the layer of water between the warmer, surface zone and the colder deep water zone, in a thermally stratied body of water, in which the temperature decreases rapidly with depth. This depression of the thermocline has great effects on the worlds fishing industry. The cutting of nutrient rich therocline water reduces the growth of algae, which in trun, collapses the food chain. Thus, leaving our worlds subsistence and commercial fisher .....

.... "Recommendation for Recycling Water in a Florida Pilot Plant" The water shortage problem has affected all of us in one way or another. Either through the mandatory restrictions or the increased price of water, or even the ever increasing occurrence of sinkholes, the evidence of a water shortage is everywhere. Since we need water to survive, and there are no alternatives to support life on this planet, we must find a way to keep up with our ever increasing water demand. This report presents t .....

.... Before the discovery of this black hole, astronomers did not think that there was any dust in elliptical galaxies like NGC 4261. Currently they believe that the disk of dust is the remnant of a smaller galaxy that fell into the core of NGC 4261. The black hole will swallow up the gas from the smaller galaxy over the next 100 million years. Researchers believe that while the gas is being swallowed by the black hole, the process will produce some amazing fireworks. The second puzzling question that astronomers are trying to answer is why isn't the black hole at the center of the galaxy? According to images from the Hubble Space Telescope, the black hole is 2 .....

.... The introduction of a policy of deliberate burning as a management tool has a fascinating history, especially in the United States Forest Service, but the ecological effects of prescribing a fixed burning regime on large tracts of land are increasingly being questioned (Lyons, 1985, 3). To an ecologist, fire can be treated as just one of the many factors in an environment. It compares with droughts, floods, hurricanes and other physical disturbances because of the direct impact it makes on organisms. Unlike these physical factors, however, fire as a disturbing force is itself influenced by the biota, particularly the plant community. Alteration of the veg .....

.... 5). We will discuss the following issues and areas surrounding :  Two different terms to describe .  Characteristics of someone with .  The learning process.  Three areas that are affected by the disability.  Focusing and behavior.  Misconceptions about dyslexia.  Seeking help through organizations. What exactly is dyslexia? “The word dyslexia is derived from the Greek “dys” meaning poor or inadequate and “lexis” meaning language. Dyslexia is a learning disability characterized by problems in expressive or receptive, oral or written language”(Wilkins URL). Simply put, dyslexia means trouble with rea .....

.... ideals, than the world as we know it may not be as great a world for our children as it was for us. First, we need to understand that the oceans are not the vast resources that we believe them to be, but just vulnerable natural resources. Before Columbus' day, the ocean were thought to be boundless. Although Columbus proved this theory incorrect, the thought still remains in today's societies. “For we of the 20th century still treat the ocean as the endless, bottomless pit it was considered to be in medieval times.”(Heyerdahl) The majority of the world's population still lives under the misconception that the ocean is a hungry abyss, eager to devour all .....

.... capabilities. In January 1983, the operations of the Landsat Satellite system were transferred to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The EROS Data Center (EDC) has managed the Landsat data archive for more then two decades. It provides an impressive collection of information about the Earth’s land surface. The SPOT satellites carry two High-Resolution Visible (HRV) sensors capturing visible and near-infrared radiance data with multispectral and panchromatic scanning capabilities. The multispectral mode captures data in three bands in the following spectral ranges: .50-.59, .61-.68 and .79-.89 micrometers. The three band .....

.... study Mars; this telescope was also used in the 1920's by V.M. Slipher to discover evidence of receding galaxies. The Lowell Observatory was mainly founded because of Dr. Percivals' interest in discovering life on mars. Lowell observatory was the first observatory in Arizona. It is a great family attraction with its location being in the popular Tourist City of Flagstaff; the observatory looks over the city. You are guided through a tour and experiments, and also are allowed to use the telescopes they have located on Mars Hill. There are a total of nine telescopes, eight which are at the observatory, of these many of them are historic, such as t .....
