Pregnancy Numbers
[ send me this paper ]
A 7 page research paper that discusses the "numbers" of pregnancy. One way to look at human fetal development and pregnancy is to consider the mathematics involved. From "calculating due dates to weighing the risks of birth defects," pregnancy involves a plethora of numbers, calculations and exponential growth (O'Brien 56). These numbers are discussed. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Presumed Efficiency of Owl Ears
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages. This interesting paper will cover the idiosyncrasies of the ears of owls based on the efficiency of prey location in the dark with asymmetrical ears and symmetrical eyes. The paper compares two species of day owls with two species of night owls in order to determine if there is a difference in their ear placement based on their hunting habits. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Prey-Size Selection
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page research paper on prey-size selection as it relates to spiders. A number of relevant concepts are examined including : aggressive mimicry, pirate spiders vs. web-invading araneophagic spiders, the role of mimetids, and more. Bibliography lists approximately 20 sources.

Prions / An Informative Overview
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page examination of the proteanaceous infectious particles which are responsible for the degeneration of brain cells. Concentrates on the replication of these proteins which, unlike living organisms, reproduce in the absence of any genetic material. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Processing Similarities for Visual and Auditory Stimuli
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page paper compares and contrasts the differences in terms of processing visual and auditory stimuli. Perceptual organization is discussed in depth. Many terms such as perception and perceptual organization are defined. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Prokaryotic Cells: Similarities and Differences Between Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Cells and the Potential for Genetic Manipulation
[ send me this paper ]
A 9 page discussion of the cellular structure of these two broad categories of cells. Notes that prokaryotic cells lack a limiting nuclear membrane and are represented among single cell organisms such as bacteria and the blue green algae while eukaryotic cells are found in multicellular organisms. Describes the major structural components of these cells and emphasizes that even the most simplistic of these cells can have tremendous importance even to the most advanced of multicellular organisms. Notes that this importance can be particularly concerning in the case of genetic modification of disease causing single-cell organisms for the purposes of biological warfare. Bibliography lists sources.

Proposal For Researching The Reproductive Patterns Of Armadillidium Vulgare (Pillbug)
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page overview of Armadillidium vulgare, the pillbug. Includes a description of the organism and its habitat preferences. Discusses the reproductive patterns of the terrestrial isopod and presents a proposal for an experiment designed to determine if minor alterations in substrate in a nursery situation can be used as an effective control for pillbugs. Bibliography lists 8 sources.
Filename: Pillbug.wps
Prostanoid Receptors
[ send me this paper ]
A 9 page research paper that, first of all, describes prostanoid receptors and their role in human physiology and then briefly summarizes current scientific research on this topic. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
Filename: khprorec.rtf
Protein shape & its influence on cellular interactions
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page research paper that investigates how the shapes that protein assumes influences the healthy functioning of cells. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
Filename: khcell.wps
Protein Synthesis
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page paper describing the method by which ribosomes synthesize proteins in the cell’s cytoplasm. The paper identifies amylase as being one of the body’s proteins, one so specific that its presence in blood confirms diagnosis of pancreatitis, a potentially fatal disease. Includes one figure. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
Filename: KSproteinSyn.rtf
Pseudoscience: Common Depictions Verses Scientific Fact in Homosexuality
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page discussion of the inaccuracies regarding the root causes of sexual preference. Suggests that these inaccuracies are particularly damaging when they are misrepresented as scientific fact. Present real facts regarding homosexuality which would support the contention that sexual preference is genetically determined. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
Filename: PPsciFrd.wps
Psittacine Beak and Feather Disease
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing the Psittacine disease that is
not limited only to the parrot family. PBFD has been found to infect and cause disease in geese
and even guinea pigs, and it is believed to affect poultry species as well. It is now known that the
disease is caused by a virus and that feather dystrophy may be the only symptoms apparent until
shortly before death. The virus persists in the environment for long periods that may stretch into
years. It has increasing commercial implication as birds become more common pets, and it has
long-reaching implications for aviculture's efforts to preserve those species endangered by loss of
tropical habitat. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
Filename: KS-PBFD.wps
Questions in Biology
[ send me this paper ]
A 15 page address of fifteen specific questions from biology. The author addresses questions ranging from the association between carbon dioxide and photosynthesis to genetics to seed dispersal. Three sources are listed.

Reducing Green House Gas Emissions in Irish Dairy Farming
[ send me this paper ]
There is little doubt that green house gases need to be reduced. This 15 page paper summarizes an article that assesses the potential of different dairy herd management systems to reduce the direct and indirect green house gas emissions. The reseach also looked at the impact on profit levels. The paper summarises the findings of the reseach and then offers a neutral opinion on the reseach. The bibliography cites 1 source.

Regulating Patents for the Human Genome
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. This paper gives a convincing argument that the high money stakes for the human genome research needs to be more closely regulated by the government. The inherent problems in allowing private enterprise to profit from this means it could be less than helpful to medical research. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
