When a baby is first conceived it is genderless for the first seven weeks of development and‚ since there is no gender‚ the development for males and females during this period is identical. At seven weeks when the sperm and egg combine to form the zygote‚ the genes activate the babies’ biological sex. Everyone has 23 pairs of chromosomes

The first of three experiments examined how auditory entrainment or auditory synching affected

I chose the painting Autumn Rhythm 1950 by Jackson Pollock. When I first saw the painting‚ I knew from the start that this was the masterpiece perfect for this project. My initial response to this painting was confusion. I did not understand it; I did not know what I was looking at. I thought to myself‚ is there something I’m supposed to look for? It seemed impossible to find something due to the numerous slobs of paint everywhere. I did not understand how this could even be a masterpiece. After

There are a wide range of devices that regulate heart rate.

Our pacemaker‚ like many‚ is disrupted by waves emitted by many other devices. This makes it so that people with pacemakers cannot use certain electronic devices such as cellular phones and MP3 players. Patients with implanted pacemakers are also unable to receive MRI’s and go through metal detectors‚ as these also interfere. The pacemaker‚ can greatly affect the patient’s working life‚ as arc welders emit waves that inhibit the pacemaker. Patients are also advised from lifting heavy loads and playing
