Slate starts out as shale under the surface of the Earth before its metamorphosis. It is typically gray in color and splits along long flat planes. It is also does not allow water or other liquids to pass through it. Slate is most often used as a roofing material, decorative gardening stone and a base for snooker tables. In the Victorian era, it was commonly used as a writing board.

Marble is another one of the metamorphic rocks and is a metamorphosed limestone. It has a hard crystalline rock appearance and was the stone of choice in ancient Greece. In fact, more than 22,000 tonnes of marble were used to build the ancient Greek Parthenon and marble remains a popular building and sculpture material today. It can also be ground down to make cleaning products or soaps.

Schist is another metamorphic rock that is formed from either mud or shale. However, it is formed at a much higher temperature than slate is. Schist is a fairly weak rock so it does not make for a good building material. It is used for paving and occasionally sculpture.

Regarding cellular phones, the <u>electronic serial number (ESN)</u> is a code used to reset a forgotten pin.

  • An electronic serial number (ESN) is the distinctive identification number that the manufacturer embeds or inscribes on the wireless phone's microchip.
  • The ESN is automatically sent to the base station each time a call is placed so that the mobile switching office of the wireless carrier can verify the legitimacy of the call. In the field, the ESN cannot be easily changed.
  • The mobile identification number (MIN), which is used by wireless carriers to identify phones on their network, is different from the ESN.
  • To aid in preventing fraud, MINs and ESNs can be electronically checked.

GalinKa [24]

The science of Cancer Biology focuses on the study of the different mechanisms and fundamental process of cell growth, the transformation of normal to cancer cells, and the metastasis or spread of these cancer cells to other parts of the body.  


As such, it includes the study of how tumor cells develop and grow. It also includes studying how the immune system responds to cancer cells, thus including macrophages and their response to the presence of pathogens and cancer cells.  Underlying all these is the inclusion of a study on protein synthesis as it is the process where biological cells build and create new specific proteins in the body.
