The Branta sandvicensis, or looks similar to the Canada
Goose except only the face, cap, and hindneck are black; and Nene have buff-
colored cheeks. The males and female have the same plumage. The feet of this
goose are not completely webbed like the other geese. Lots of calls have been
described but the most common call is very similar to that of the Canada Goose,
a resonate "honk." The goose has very strong toes; long legs, decreased webbing.
They are good swimmers but are not found much near water. The birds nest on the
ground and the young can fly at 1012 weeks. The adult Goose cannot fly while in
molt for 46 weeks.
Wild Nene populations can be seen in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park,
Mauna Loa, and Pu'u Wa'awa'a on the island of Hawaii; in Haleakala National Park
on Maui; and at the Kilauea National Wildlife Refuge, along the Na Pali coast
and outside Lihue on Kauai. Captive Nene can be seen at he Honolulu ...
In this report I will give a history on the development of . I will cover some of the most important dates in the development of atomic theory. An atom was first thought of by the Ancient Greeks who believed that matter was made of smaller particles called elements. The name they gave to these particles was the atom. In 1776 the man known as "T...
As seen in observation and analysis; my hypothesis was proved to be correct and density does increase if the sugar concentration is increased. The data in the table and the strong linear relationship on the graph shows that grams per each millilitre increase as the ratio of sugar to water increases in the solution. In this experiment the margin fo...
America's endangered areas are deplinishing daily. Natural disasters are a major factor in their disappearance, but the most prominent factor is mankind. Even though procedures are conducted daily to preserve our home, these areas slowly crumble within our grasps. Protection of these areas is essential, as our whole race depends upon resources d...
Often times, scientists only have a small amount of DNA to deal with when doing genetic research or studies. In these situations, scientists can do one of several things. One is to just try to work with it anyway, but this is nearly impossible (depending on how much there is). Ther are a couple other processes they can use, or they can use PCR....
Cynthia Pedro NUTR121 Professor Janice Grover 03/02/2012 Gone are the days in which a family would grow and raise all of their own nutrition. We now rely so heavily upon fast food and extended shelf life that it makes you wonder how w...
Chlamydia is caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis, hence the name; Chlamydia The word chlamys is Greek for "cloak draped around the shoulder.' This describes how the intracytoplasmic inclusions caused by the bacterium are "draped" around the infected cell's nucleus. Scientists discovered the organism in 1907, although it probably has bee...
DNA is the information needed by a cell in order to reproduce an identical offspring. In some crimes detectives have no evidence or fingerprints to tell who had committed a crime. Now there is a way of finding who has committed the crime by a method called DNA Typing. DNA Typing is finding bacteria or blood on clothing or skin and amplifying the...

: The science by aid of which the chemical philosophers of medieval times attempted to transmute the baser metals into gold or silver. There is considerable divergence of opinion as to the etymology of the word, but it would seem to be derived from the Arabic al=the, and kimya=chemistry, which in turn derives from the late Greek chemica=chemistry,...
Have you ever turned on the television and saw an oil spill or gotten really excited to go to the beach only to see contamination signs everywhere? Pollution may be destroying the ocean before the ocean's resources will fully be used. For years, all kinds of garbage and toxic waste have been disposed into the ocean, thinking that the ocean is large...
' work on planetary motion stood an a very high mathematical level for his times. His theory explained how all the celestial bodies move around the Sun. It took Nicolaus 30 years of mathematical research to form a theory about planetary motion. The three most popular instruments which used were quadrant, armilla, and triquetrum. All furnish so...

"It discloses secrets; ratifies and confirms our hopes; thrusts the coward forth to battle; eases the anxious mind of its burthen; instructs in arts. Whom has not a cheerful glass made eloquent! Whom not quite free and easy from pinching poverty!" Initially, I wanted to write this paper on substance related disorders. However, in reading the t...
