Research Approaches To Extend Life Span In Lower Organisms
[ send me this paper ]
10 pages in length. The quest for life extension continues to preoccupy mankind's scientific endeavors. Research in the area of increased longevity in lower organisms has produced findings associated with environmental (external) implications (Jazwinski, 1996), the discovery of longevity genes (Varmus, 1997), caloric limitations to produce beneficial metabolic changes (Yamaza et al, 2002) and achieving the same benefits of calorie limitations without the associated depravation by way of molecular mimicry (Anonymous, 2002). Bibliography lists 11 sources.

Research Design Considerations for the Evaluation of Effective Management Regimes for Oral Thrush in the Oncology Setting
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page discussion of the various criteria which enter into research design. The author contends that not only does thrush present quantitative issues into the research environment, it also presents humanistic issues, issues which are sometimes more effectively evaluated with the use of qualitative verses quantitative research. A discussion of methods, methodologies, theoretical perspective, and epistemology is included. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Research Proposal # 2
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper proposing specific research. One of the perplexing realities of the body of knowledge surrounding some of the paths of differentiation and affinities of specific molecules and specific genes is that they frequently behave in ways unexpected under current theory. Despite the fact that immunoglobulin (Ig) and T-cell receptor genes use the same recombinases, Ig genes are functionally rearranged only in B-cells and TCR genes only in T-cells. The basis for this lineage specificity of antigen receptor gene expression is still not well understood. The purpose of this proposed research is to attempt to determine why the genes are arranged only in the narrowly specified cell types. Bibliography lists 11 sources.

Retinal Scan Biometrics
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages. Biometrics is the use of physical characteristics to identify a person. This rapidly emerging technology is becoming more common as security measures are taken to a new level. Retinal scan biometrics uses iris recognition to identify the pattern of the iris that is as unique to each individual as are fingerprints. This outstanding research paper gives a detailed narrative of the emerging field of retinal scan biometrics. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Review of the 1998 Article: 'Mission Control - Politics, Not Size, Is the Real Threat to Megaprojects at NASA'
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses NASA's Apollo I, Apollo XIII, and The Challenger disasters and whether or not there was a common thread in the various decision making processes that ultimately led to the problems encountered by each of the missions. No secondary sources.

Role of Minerals Human Physiology
[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page research paper that discusses the functions of six essential minerals in human physiology: sodium, chloride, potassium, calcium, iodine and sulfur. Then, the writer describes the functions of 3 buffer systems in metabolism. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Saccharomyces Cerevisiae (Brewer's Yeast)
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page overview of the yeast species Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Describes the organism as one which has been utilized by man for over one-thousand years. Typical uses include not only that as a leavening for bread and fermentation for liquor, however, but also experimental utilization in many biochemical and genetic investigations. Comments on the factors which influence the growth and reproduction of this organism in its natural environment and in the laboratory. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Sensory Perception
[ send me this paper ]
This 7 page paper provides an overview of the senseory perception involved in experiencing a rose. This paper outlines the basics of three different sensory systems, with a focus on the sense of smell. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
Filename: MHRose.rtf
Sensory Perception: Physiological Biases from Past Experiences and their Relations to Cultural and Racial Biases
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page overview of the physiological basis of our perceptions. Discusses the phenomenon of phantom limbs in depth and relates this phenomenon to neurological processes and the structure of the brain itself. Suggests that given the number of physiological processes which can lead to false perceptions it difficult to trust even our own bodily perceptions. Extends this thought to a discussion of racial and cultural prejudices, of ingroups verses outgroups. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Sexual Dimorphism in Brain Structure
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page discussion of the differences which exist between males and females in terms of brain structure. There is no contesting the fact that there are structural differences between male and female brains. These differences are found in numerous species of vertebrates and, in fact, in human beings themselves. Just what these differences mean, however, is a subject of considerable debate. While brain size in particular seems to be linked to greater intelligence for many species, no definitive proof exists that human males are any more intelligent than human females. The manner in which males and females process information, however, does differ significantly. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Sexual Mimicry
[ send me this paper ]
This 11 page paper provides an overview of the basic elements of sexual mimicry in animal populations. This paper outlines the way in which some animals achieve genetic (reproductive) success by 'pretending' to be the opposite sex. Further, this paper also describes examples and analyzes the dynamics of this phenomenon, including when this 'skill' is beneficial. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Skeletal Muscle Contraction and Structure
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper describing muscle function and structure. There are several theories of the action of muscle contraction. Though at least two of these theories appear to be more than plausible, the precise mechanism by which muscles contract still is not absolutely known. What is known, however, is that the entire process is biochemically controlled and tightly choreographed to produce the desired result. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Stages of Sleep
[ send me this paper ]
The 3 page paper discusses why sleep is necessary, and what happens when we fall asleep. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
Filename: HVStSlep.rtf
Stem Cell Research
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page assertion of the value of stem cell research. Despite the controversy surrounding it, stem cell research has the potential to greatly benefit mankind and the world as a whole. Bibliography lists 9 sources.
Filename: PPstemC9.rtf
Stem Cell Research/Not an Ethical Issue
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page research paper/essay that argues that embryonic stem cells research is ethical. The writer bases this argument on the facts of reproduction and also presents the supposition that the real issue here is not stem cell research, per se, but the movement against abortion. The details of stem cell research are presented, along with relevant arguments supporting it. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
Filename: khesceth.rtf
Stress & Memory/Article Critique
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page research paper that offers an article critique research performed by Elzinga and Roelofs (2005), which explored the “effects of stress-induced cortisol elevations on working memory” and whether or not this effect is dependent on the level of adrenergic activity, as measured by sympathetic autonomic activation) (Elzinga and Roelofs, 2005, p. 99). The various components of this research are summarized and discussed. The paper also includes a literature review, in appropriate sections of this discussion, that further explores research on this topic. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

STUDIES IN ANATOMY – AN OVERVIEW
[ send me this paper ]
This 4-page paper studies systems in the human body, with focus on the somatosensory and the sensorimotor systems. Bibliograpy lists 3 sources.

Taming Fat
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page paper discussing some of the discoveries associating obesity with genetic predisposition. Obesity is approaching “epidemic” levels in the United States, and along with its increase also are rises in incidence of diabetes. Diabetes’ high blood sugar damages organs, including the heart, kidneys and eyes. Diabetes is in itself a risk factor for heart disease, and we have known for years that high serum cholesterol (i.e., fat) constitutes a separate risk factor for heart disease as well. The purpose here is to trace fat’s progress and examine some of the factors resulting in some people being lean, others becoming obese while practicing very similar dietary habits. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
