Origins of Human Life
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page research paper that discusses what science knows about the origins of life on Earth and also the origins of human life. Bibliography lists 3 sources

Osage Orange (Maclura pomifera)
[ send me this paper ]
A 12 page overview of the species, its characteristics, and its ecological niche. This paper emphasizes that not only is the species attractive enough to make it one of the more desirable landscaping plants, it has been used throughout history for purposes as diverse as bow and arrow construction, to use as living fence poles, to phytoremediation. While the species is native to North America, it is not native to all regions of North America even though it has been introduced there. Ironically the same qualities which made it desirable for various anthropomorphic interests have resulted in the plant being spread into areas in which it is now considered an invasive exotic. Bibliography lists 14 sources.

Overfishing, Sharks, and Biodiversity
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page overview of the impacts of overfishing on sharks and other species, some of which might not be immediately obvious as to their relation with the shark. Emphasizes that our oceans are fascinating testaments to the complexity and interrelationships of living organisms, that they are comprised of a number of interrelated components, each with its own ecological value. Details possible impacts to both open water diversity and coral reef biodiversity as a result of the overfishing of sharks. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Pheromone's in Insects
[ send me this paper ]
This 10 page paper looks at pheromones, what they are, how they work, their discovery and how they might be used. The chemical compounds are discussed and the use of the synthetic chemicals as a replacement for pesticides is discussed. The bibliography cites 10 sources.

Philodendrons: Environmental Considerations and Care
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page overview of the considerations which must be made when growing Philodendron. Devotes considerable attention to growth preferences and the physiological reasons behind those preferences. Concludes that while Philodendrons are among the easiest of houseplants to grow, attention must be paid to the type of soil that they are planted in, the presence of absence of surfaces upon which the vine can trail, appropriate soil water levels and humidity, and the provision of a clean environment which discourages pests. Bibliography lists 14 sources.

Photosynthesis
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page overview of photosynthesis. This paper provides a brief history of the early discoveries that were relevant to photosynthesis, an overview of the limiting factors affecting it, an outline of the light and dark processes, modern representations of photosynthesis, and a recap of the value of photosynthesis in nature. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
Filename: PPplntPh.rtf
Photosynthesis, and Other Topics
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page research paper that offers brief answers to 5 science questions. Topics covered include photosynthesis (why it's vital to life); what other source of energy could life have used (hydrothermals); lipids; difference between organic and inorganic molecules and difference between dominant and recessive genes. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
Filename: khbioq.rtf
Photosynthesis: Definition and Process
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page overview of photosynthesis and its important to plants and the world as a whole. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
Filename: PPphotosynthesis.rtf
Plant Growth: The Importance of Soil and Photosynthesis
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page review of the importance of soil and photosynthesis to plant growth. The
author identifies the nutrients of concern for plants as well as other environmental parameters that can affect their growth. Bibliography lists 8
sources.

Plant Physiology, Morphology and Ecology in the Sonoran and Saharan Desert: A Comparison
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page paper provides a detailed description comparing plant physiology, morphology, and ecology of plants of two regions: Sonoran and Sahara Deserts. This paper provides some generalized information on desert conditions and plant physiology and then demonstrates the variations related to the plants studies of both of these regions. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Plant Physiology: The Role of Heat and Auxin Regulation
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page discussion of the role of auxin in plant physiology. Concentrates on the work with Arabidopsis thaliana but ties this research into other plant species and the effects of fire on the physiology of some of these species. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
Filename: PPauxin2.wps
Plant Pollinators
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper on how floral color affects the activity of plant pollinators. Studies show that the color changes that a flower undergoes as it ages has a direct affect on the insect pollinators. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
Filename: 99pollin.wps
Pneumonia
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page overview of pneumonia. Pneumonia can be caused by a variety of factors. These include both bacterial and viral organisms. The epidemiology of each of these organisms vary as does the specifics of the treatment regime. One of the most important aspects of dealing with pneumonia is prevention. Prevention is especially important for community acquired pneumonia. Effective prevention requires accurate diagnosis of the cases that do exist, isolation of infected patients, and strict attention to hygiene both by the patient and by those that move between patients. While antibiotics can be used to treat bacterial pneumonia, treatment for viral pneumonia is normally supportive in nature. Bibliography
lists 3 sources.
Filename: PPpneumo.rtf
Polychlorinated Biphenyls / Effects on Reproduction
[ send me this paper ]
A 12 page overview of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and their adverse impact on the reproduction of both humans and other animals. Bibliography lists 14 sources.
Filename: Pcb.wps
Positive Aspects Combining Nature and Technology
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages. The
introduction of bioengineering into the mainstream of science and
technology has been nothing more than a natural progression. To
be sure, there is a definite need for such advancement if
humanity is to endure the climate changes that are affecting the
very food crop upon which people depend. Additionally, the
advantages of bioengineering within the medical industry have
proven indispensable for its groundbreaking discoveries and
applications with regard to sustaining health in the human body.
There is no question that bioengineering represents mankind's
ability to overcome some of nature's most ravaging aspects in
order to continue -- and even enhance -- life as we have known it
thus far. Without the influence of bioengineering, humanity's
food supply and medical advances would suffer greatly.
Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Possible Career Directions: Marine Biologist or Personal Trainer?
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page discussion of these potential career directions. The student choosing an occupational path has a number of considerations to take into account. Even fields as apparently unrelated as Marine Biology and Physical Education (a field often pursued by Personal Trainers) in reality have a number of similarities in regard to certain coursework and career paths which could be chosen. Such fields also have a number of distinctions which the student should consider. This paper considers each. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
