History Of The Prostate Gland
<view this essay>.... prostate will squeeze the urethra and begin to choke
off the urinary flow. This can effect the ablility to
urinate and perform sexually.
SYMPTOMS OF PROSTATE CANCER
Prostate cancer occurs when some of the cells that
make up the prostate gland escape from the normal controls
on their growth and start to divide, grow and spread in an
uncontolled manner. At first the growth of the cancer
occurs very slowly and is usually limited within the
prostate gland. Later on in the course of the illness, the
prostate gland cells can spread around the body,
particulary to the bones where they can paues pain and
disability. Estimates show that the canc .....

Genetically Engineered Foods
<view this essay>.... The organism relies upon the information stored in tits DNA for the management of every biochemical process. The life, growth and unique features of the organism depend on its DNA. The segments of DNA, which have been associated with specific features or functions of an organism, are called genes.
Molecular biologists have discovered many enzymes, which change the structure of DNA in living organisms. Some of these enzymes can cut and join strands of DNA. Using such enzymes, scientists learned to cut specific genes from DNA and to build customized DNA using these genes. They also learned about vectors, strands of DNA like viruses, which can infect a cell .....

Livestock And Wastes
<view this essay>.... the pollution.
Today, large livestock operations look more like animal factories than animal farms. The farms usually consist of several metal barns, each containing several hundred to several thousand animals tightly confined. The floors in the barns are slatted so manure can be flushed away. The manure is pumped into open-air lagoons, which are large, shallow pits dug into the ground, where it is stored until it can be pumped out to irrigate fields. The solid manure sinks to the bottom of the lagoon and is broken down by anaerobic bacteria over several months. The liquid rises to the top and is collected and sprayed over nearby fields.
Many problems co .....

Saturn
<view this essay>.... The equatorial-polar-diameter ratio is
1.12 to 1. Saturn's mass is 5.686 X 10 to the power of 26 kg , or 95.147
times the Earth's. Thus the average density is only 0.69 g/cu cm , which
is much less than water, indicating a very deep atmosphere and a very small
core.
Saturn is one of the giant outer planets, which are characterized
by their large size, low density, and corresponding extensive atmospheres.
Current models of the interior indicate that below the relatively thin
opaque cloud layer is an extensive, clear hydrogen-helium atmosphere. Data
on the internal heat flux, the detailed gravity field, and the observed
upper-atmosphere hydrogen-helium ratio .....

Coral Reefs 3
<view this essay>.... of stone-like corals.
Many different organisms, including molluscs, sponges, and worms, help shape reefs, but hard corals and various algae are the major architects. In effect, the corals build limestone, because their skeletons are made of Calcium Carbonate. The skeletons deposited by these corals and other organisms accumulate, along with sand and other debris, to form the backbone of the reef. Over tens of thousands of years, chemical and mechanical changes turn the reef into true rock.
The body of a coral animal consists of a polyp, which is the living portion of the coral. A polyp is a hollow, cylindrical structure attached at one end to a surface, t .....

Tin
<view this essay>.... is toothpaste containers and also are things
such as wood, paper, textile, farm sprays, and Hospital disinfectants. To get
pure tin you must first find ore cassiterite or tin stone, a dioxide of tin. The
ore cassiterite before smelting and roasting must be crushed into a powder to
remove the arsenic and sulfur from the ore cassiterite. When you smelter the tin
you must heat it with carbon to remove the zinc, copper, bismuth, and iron from
the tin.
Tin had been used for many things but tins use is dropping rapidly although
tin is still used a lot for plating. Plating such things as electical contacts.
Tin is also used as a protective coating. This prote .....

Theory And Research
<view this essay>.... people are asked questions either through the use of
questionnaires or during an interview. Unlike the experiment approach, the
condition and situation in a survey requires no manipulation. All the subject
have to do is to answer questions. Good quantitative research is determined by
validity and reliability of the research method used (Teevan, 1995:161).
Therefo re, the straight correlation study method used in the survey research of
"Horatio Alger lives" lack components of validity and reliability.

Ebola 2
<view this essay>.... symptoms similar to those of a viral hemorrhagic fever disease. The Ebola Zaire in Kikwit spread quickly, but investigation and control of the outbreak come from a combined effort of medical teams from the U.S. Center for disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the World Health Organization, and from other health organizations in Belgium, France, and South Africa. Since July 1, 1995, 233 deaths have been reported among the 293 cases, in Africa (Garrett 195).
Since 1976, researchers have searched for an origin and cure of the virus. Scientist have carried out numerous studies and investigations. Therefore, we now know what the virus is capable of doing, .....
