- 171: Gangs
- ... use escalated. Where there was more drug use there was less gang violence. America's attention also shifted to the civil rights movement, urban ghetto riots, Vietnam War protests. A new racial consciousness had its effect on local street gang, creating organizations that were more involved in communities. The Black Panthers arose in Oakland in 1968, the Black Muslims gained national prominence in the '60s and a Puerto Rican gang, the ... that you drink, but it begins to become a habit and soon you are not only drinking at parties but also drinking alone and that is a sign you need help. Teens drink for the effect. To get high, to rebel, to alter their feelings of their environment, if only temporary. One of the main reasons kids drink for effect is the freedom it gives them. A problem of drinking for effect is whatever age the child is when he starts depending on the effect of alcohol, that's the age they are when ...
- 172: The Effects of Creatine
- ... 11). So theoretically increasing the amount of creatine phosphate in muscle tissue by supplementation should result in increased energy, strength, and endurance. There are three ways in which creatine is though to have an ergogenic effect (Sahelian 2-3). First, it increases the volume of muscle cells due to expanded fluid intake. This makes muscle tissue look bigger and more sharply defined. Most of this water weight can be accounted for ... Actin and myosin form a cross bridge and slide together during a muscle contraction to perform work. By increasing the number of these contractile proteins, the muscle is able to do more work. The third effect, as I have discussed, is that creatine fuels ATP to provide energy. N.M.R. technology has allowed scientists to measure 8-10% increases of cellular ATP resulting from creatine intake. The more creatine in ... By keeping the body from relying on glycolysis, lactic acid production is reduced, enabling one to exercise longer without feeling the burning sensation and muscle damage associated with lactic acid. Creatine by itself reduces the effect lactic acid has on the body by acting as a buffer against the strong acidity of the molecule. The human body gets most of the creatine it needs from food or dietary supplements. It ...
- 173: The Effects of Antibiotics on Bacterial Growth
- ... The bacteria used in the experiment were: Bacillus Cerus, Escerichia Coli, Seratia Marscens, and Micrococcus Luteus. After a 24 hour incubation period, the results were measured. In order to determine which antibiotic had the most effect their zones of inhibition were recorded. The zone of inhibition refers to the distance from the disc to the outermost section around the disc where no bacterial growth was present. The results can be seen ... of each antibiotic in the bacteria culture: Tetracycline Chloramphenicol Kanamycin Neomycin Penicillin Streptomycin Erythromycin B. Cerus 5.5 9 5 6.6 1 7 13 E. Coli 7 4.2 5.5 4.5 no effect 4.6 no effect S. Marscens no effect no effect 4.5 4 no effect 3 no effect M. Luteus 23 22 10 11 23.5 11.5 19 After analysis of the data obtained it is obvious ...
- 174: The Potential Effects of a Depleted Ozone Layer - Detrykowski
- ... affected by a depleted ozone layer and thus by the corresponding increase in harmful ultraviolet radiation are agriculture, wildlife, the environment, and human health. A depleted ozone layer has a profoundly negative and potentially devastating effect on humanity and its surroundings. From an agricultural perspective, a diminished ozone layer poses great risks. Since man's evolution from 'man the hunter and gatherer' to 'man the food producer' , mankind has grown ever ... atmosphere and once that is gone who knows " ( Cox, 1994, p.546 ). Agriculturally, a depletion in the ozone layer could lead to economic and societal ruin for many. In addition to having a profound potential effect on agriculture, a depleted ozone layer affects wildlife in the same indiscriminate manner. Since ozone depletion leads to increases in harmful UV light, it comes as no surprise that this 'bad' light would affect the ... ozone umbrella could also have a tremendous impact on wildlife. Moreover, in support of devastating impact on the crops and animals, a diminished ozone layer has been associated with environmental damage and concern. The potential effect on the earth's climate systems and weather is another negative aspect joined at the hip with a weakened ozone shield. The ozone layer is located in the stratosphere " 15 - 50 km above the ...
- 175: To Kill A Mockingbird- The Effect Of Environment On Classism
- In an organized society one is usually faced with a restrictive social ladder that constrains its occupants into stereotyped categories. In this type of jaundiced backdrop, it is only natural to parrot the actions that surround you. This ...
- 176: The Effect Of Media Images
- It was fashionable to be fat throughout most of history. Obesity was attractive because it was considered to be a sign of wealth. Those who could obtain enough food to keep themselves and their family well fed were ...
- 177: The Privatisation Of The Uk El
- ... the market (such as branding as the huge start-up cost of generating which stop firms entering and exiting the market. Since 1990 therefore, the market has seen the change from monopoly to oligopoly. In effect it is now a free market, although this is slightly distorted because of the human behaviour which means that many people have chosen to stay with their own regional company because they are reluctant to ... was, until de-mutualisation, effectively completely independent from all of the other regional electricity areas with the simple exception that all areas were governed by the consumer watchdogs. Thus, the figures needed to study the effect of privatisation need only come from one region. I have selected to study how prices have changed in the SWALEC electricity region as this is a relatively large region (in terms of customers) and also ... did the restructuring of the electricity industry in the 1990 s affect the price of electricity to consumers and for what reasons did this occur? This question can be answered in sections; namely, 1. What effect did the original privatisation have (until 1994)? 2. What effect did the regional monopolies have (1994-1997)? 3. What effect did demutualisation have (1997onwards)? Analysing the effect of privatisation pre-1994 was made far ...

- 179: Origins and Bibliography of the Big Bang Theory
- ... light ray that climbs through a height h in a gravitational field, given by (delta f)/f = gh/cc where g is the gravitational acceleration. (If the light ray descends, it is blueshifted.) Equivalently, this effect can be viewed as a relative shift in the rates of identical clocks at two heights. A second consequence of EEP is that space- time must be curved. Although this is a highly technical issue ... using gamma rays climbing a tower on the Harvard University campus (1965), using light emitted from the surface of the Sun (1965), and using atomic clocks flown in aircraft and rockets (1976) have verified that effect to precisions of better than 1 percent. General Relativity The principle of equivalence and its experimental confirmation reveal that space-time is curved by the presence of matter, but they do not indicate how much ... a test of the equivalence principle, not of general relativity itself, and two new important tests have been discovered since Einstein's time: the time-delay by I. I. Shapiro in 1964, and the Nordtvedt effect by K. Nordtvedt, Jr., in 1968. The confirmation of the deflection of starlight by the Sun by the solar eclipse expedition of 1919 was one of the triumphant moments for general relativity and brought ...
- 180: The Pros And Cons About Legalizing Marijuana
- ... displayed that the immune system may actually have been stimulated by the use of hashish and marijuana. On the other hand, a separate alternative source stated that marijuana (Delta-nine-THC) does possess an immunosuppressive effect. Marijuana shuts off some cells in the liver, instead of stimulating them. The effect is only temporary and goes away rapidly. According to "Marijuana As Medicine," Approximately 30% of all prescription drugs can be replaced by THC, so pro- marijuana groups lead to believe that one of the reasons ... that "Marijuana, in its natural form, is one of the safest therapeutically active substances known to man" (Marijuana As Medicine). Marijuana and Crime Another issue considered by the mass media is whether marijuana has an effect on crime or not. As written in the "Anti-Legalization Forum," the D.E.A. believes that drug use contributes to crime and violence. Many police officers say that criminal activity is not caused ...
