The Basic Principles of Physics: An Examination of the Contentions of Nineteenth Century Physicist Albert Michelson
[ send me this essay ]
A 4 page examination of Michelson's contention that in regard to physics "most of the grand underlying principles have now been firmly established and that further advances are to be sought chiefly in the rigorous application of these principles to all the phenomena which come under our notice". The author contends that Michelson's contention is still applicable even today. While we continue to make "astonishing" discoveries, we have yet to conclusively demonstrate that the basic physical processes underlying those discoveries significantly deviate from the basic physical principles known by Michelson.

The Bioaccumulation of Toxins in the Canadian Arctic
[ send me this essay ]
This is an 8 page paper discussing the bioaccumulation of toxins in the Canadian Arctic. Presence of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) which include pesticides, industrial compounds, and combustion by-products are one of the major environmental and health concerns within the Canadian Arctic regions today. Measurement of POP bioconcentration or bioaccumulation levels within the Arctic have determined that the toxic contaminants primarily do not originate within the Arctic and therefore are transported there through air or water currents or migratory animals. The contaminants are considered persistent because they are able to exist for a great length of time and can tolerate many conditions. POPs are also lipophilic in which they are concentrated in the fats of animals. Because of this, bioaccumulation levels are higher in those animals which are higher on the food chain such as humans and polar bears as the contaminants get passed on through the digestion of the fat of animals with POPs in their system and makes them an extreme health hazard. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

The Cumberland Gap
[ send me this essay ]
This 4 page report discusses the formation and discovery of the Cumberland Gap. Near the point where Virginia, Kentucky, and Tennessee meet, a natural passage, almost 20 miles long and 1.7 miles wide, was formed through the Cumberland Mountains, part of the southwestern division of the Appalachian Mountain system. Once thought to be a wind gap, the gap was actually formed by the erosive action of a stream that once flowed southward from present-day Middlesboro to join the Powell River.

The Detection of Planets Using Microlensing
[ send me this essay ]
Microlensing has been described as the most suitable earthbound tool for detecting planets of low mass in distant galaxies by observing the effect their gravity has on the light of nearby stars. This 5 page paper considers the astronomical tool, how it works, some of the potential problems and the results it has yielded. The bibliography cites 11 sources.
