The Life of High Mass Stars High mass stars can be classified as any star that is at least four times the solar mass of our star‚ the sun. They consist of about three percent of all of the stars in the universe‚ but there are still billions and billions of them all over the universe. High mass stars‚ like low mass stars‚ begin to form from clouds of gas and dust in space. They both begin as a protostar and eventually become dense enough to cause hydrogen fusion within them; placing them both on

My analysis focused on our second largest discipline‚ Computer Science. Biological Sciences (my discipline) is the largest‚ but I started with this one so that I could look at the data with fresh eyes‚ and also because it’s got some really cool papers to talk about. Here’s what I found: What I found was a fascinating list of topics‚ with many of the expected fundamental papers like Shannon’s Theory of Information and the Google paper‚ a strong showing from Mapreduce and machine learning‚ but also

A ’tropism’ is a growth in response to a stimulus. Plants grow towards sources of water and light‚ which they need to survive and grow. Auxin is a plant hormone produced in the stem tips and roots‚ which controls the direction of growth. Plant hormones are used in weedkillers‚ rooting powder and to control fruit ripening. Tropisms The direction of plant growth Plants need light and water for photosynthesis. They have developed responses called tropisms to help make sure they grow towards sources
