replicated like smile buttons. "We aren't just our genes, we're a whole
collection of our experiences," says Albert Jonsen. But the idea, he adds,
raises a host of issues, "from the fantastic to the profound."
When anesthesia was discovered in the 19th century, there was a speculation that
it would rob humans of the transforming experience of suffering. When three
decades ago, James Watson and Fra ...

... in this area." Furthermore, the small amount of empirical research that does exist, more often than not, does not define the kind of touch or massage methodology employed, and massage is often rolled in with a range of other therapeutic methods (Westland 1993).
Nevertheless, interest in massage as a valid means of therapy is on the increase and in particular in the West, where stress is one of the most commonly experienced states, massage has a clear role to play in reducing stress and helping people learn to recognise early stressful symptoms as compared with a more relaxed and less stressed state ...

... That honor was bestowed upon its discoverers Landa and Machcahcaeck who used the Greek translation of diamond, , to identify the compound.2
Crude petroleum is separated into its component compounds by fractional distillation. The procedure involves a sample of the petroleum to be heated until the sample is vaporized leaving behind any solid impurities. The resulting steam enters a fractional distillation column in which a temperature gradient had been instilled. The temperature of the column decreases as the steam rises through the column. The idea is that, as the temperature of the column decre ...

White Tigers
Number of Words: 1585 / Number of Pages: 6
... they differ from the normally colored tigers by having blue eyes, a pink nose, and creamy white fur with black stripes.

... has a charge that is a fraction of that of an
electron. Up and down quarks make up protons and neutrons, and can be observed
in ordinary matter. Strange quarks can be observed in omega-minus and other
short lived subatomic particles which play on part in ordinary matter(1985
Quarks).
The interpretation of quarks as physical entities poses two problems.
First, sometimes two or three identical quarks have to be in the same quantum
state which, because they have to have half integral spin, violates Pauli's
exclusion principal. Second, quarks appear to not be able to be separated from
the particles th ...

... If
the concentration of one side of the membrane is greater than the
molecules will travel from the higher to lower concentration.
Eventually there will be a dynamic equilibrium and there will be no net
movement of molecules from one side to the other.
Osmosis is the diffusion of water. Like diffusion, the water moves
from a region of higher water potential to a region of lower water
potential. Solutions have three different stages that the solutes can
be classified in: isotonic, hypertonic, and hypotonic. Isotonic is when
the solutions have equal amounts of solutes. Like equilibri ...

The Great Imposters

... impersonating ants, squirrels
that look like shrews, worms copying sea anemones, and roaches imitating
ladybugs. There are even animals that look like themselves, which can also
be a form of impersonation. The phenomenon of mimicry, as it's called
by biologists, was first noted in the mid-1800s by an English naturalist,
Henry W. Bates. Watching butterflies in the forests of Brazil, Bates
discovered that many members of the Peridae butterfly family did not look
anything like their closest relatives. Instead they bore a striking
resemblance to members of the Heliconiidae butterfly family.
