What is Anthrax? Anthrax is an acute infectious disease caused by the sporeforming bacterium bacillus anthacis. There are three main types of anthrax: coetaneous, respiratory, and intestinal. This rodshaped microbe grows in soil, where it can be ingested by sheep, cows, horses and goats. Anthrax most commonly occurs in warm-blooded animals, and can also infect humans. Anthrax spores can be produced in a dry form (for biological warfare) which may be stored and ground into particles. When inhaled by humans, these particles cause respiratory failure and death within a week. Transmission to humans normally occurs through contact with infected animals but can also occur through breathing air that contains the spores of the bacillus. The disease is usually restricted to individuals who handle hides of animals (farmers, butchers, and veterinarians) or sort wool.

The other, randomaccess memory (RAM), can be erased or added to, and when the power is turned off it disappears. RAM chips are used in computers and programmable calculators, so they can store a lot of data for brief periods. Microchips are hidden away in almost all modern electrical equipment, from televisions and cars

The work of leveling and draining the land that would support the traffic of airplanes was directed by Max Efinger. Though by the initiative of the President of the Republic, Len Corts Castro, Barrantes designed a terminal similar to that of Guatemalas La Aurora Airport. The project was approved in 1937. The construction, costing more than 1.5 million colones, was directed by the engineer Luis Paulino Jimnez Montealegre. The work of remodeling to adapt the building to the needs of a museum began in November of 1978.
