Troponin's Role in Skeletal Muscle Contraction

An 8 page paper discussing the structure and function of this regulatory substance. Troponin C directly interacts with the calcium ions that initiate skeletal muscle contraction; troponin I is the next target of troponin C. Troponin T is an inhibitor. Without troponin T inhibiting continued contraction, then the muscle that had been contracted would not be able to cease contracting. The paper also discusses current research. Bibliography lists 13 sources.

Asteroid Research and the NEAR Project

This 5 page report discusses asteroid research and the end of the NEAR (Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous) project. Any space mission, with its enormous outlay of financial resources, requires that there be some type of meaningful objective aside from adding to the collective knowledge of humanity about space and the origins and development of the solar system. This report promotes mining the asteroids as the most valuable possibility for Earth ventures. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Common Misconceptions Regarding Geography

A 5 page paper which address three different misconceptions held by people in relationship to physical geography. As per the student's request, the opinions are provided by a famous individual, an acquaintance of this writer, and the writer themselves. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Fluid Flows

This 5 page paper is written in two parts. The first looks at pressurised flows and the equations that will be used in the design of the systems, looking mainly at Pascal’s Law. The second part looks at an open flow channel and the issues of design, such as friction and Bernouilli's Principle. The bibliography cites 3 sources.

Winkler And Cowan's "From Sensory To Long-Term Memory: Evidence From Auditory Memory Reactivation Studies" – Summary/Critique

3 pages in length. What Winkler and Cowan (2005) have accomplished in their study is to illustrate how certain auditory cues elicit memory recall more expediently than others, which serves to indicate that variations of sound – such as with human voice recognition – is a critical component of encoding, storage and recall capabilities. It has long been surmised by virtue of scientific research that people tend to lose sensory information within seconds of absorbing it, rendering subsequent recall a tentative proposition. However, auditory cues have been shown to remain with a person for longer periods of time than other sensory information, typically thirty seconds. These findings provide insight as to why people often recognize the sound of someone's voice – even from years past – yet not identify the individual by sight or other sensory information. Bibliography lists 1 source.

The Strength of Fly Ash

This 8 page paper provides an overview about the strength of fly ash. Positive and negative aspects are also discussed. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Amber: Valued Gemstone

This is a 6 page paper which discusses the formation, charcteristics and value of amber. The bibliography has 4 sources.

Weathering Formation of Clay Soils

A 3 page paper discussing the aluminum and silicon content of several rock-forming minerals and assessing factors contributing to weathering into kaolinite, montmorillonite, illite or vermiculite clay types based on silicon and aluminum content. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Life on Mars: A Proposed Research Study

This 5 page paper provides an overview of a research study on the argument that life does exist on mars. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Face Processing Species

A 4 page critique of the research article “Is face processing species-specific during the first year of life?” by Pascalis et al. No additional sources cited.

Virtual Geology Field Trip

3 pages in length. Taking a virtual tour of North Fork of the Nooksack River, the student will find many interesting occurrences that have taken place in the area, not the least of which is the Church Mountain Landslide and the development of Twin Lakes. No bibliography.

Scientific Discovery: Male Mice Sing To Their Female Counterparts

5 pages in length. In Ultrasonic Songs of Male Mice, Timothy E. Holy and Zhongsheng Guo seek to determine the extent to which male mice emit ultrasonic songs when in the vicinity of female mice. They discover, through scientific methodology, the conditions upon which this occurs, the varied nature of syllables used and the vastly superior scale upon which these songs are delivered. The hypothesis, therefore, seeks to determine the equivalency to what equates to song, as well as the level of diversity with regard to the individual male mouse, which results indicate a "small but significant difference in syllable usage and the temporal structure of their songs" (Holy et al, 2005, p. 386), suggesting how mice communication may hold myriad more complexity than has been understood. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Opals: A Consideration of Origin, Characteristics, and Enhancement Techniques

An 8 page overview of the geological and physical characteristics of opals. As do all gemstones, opals vary significantly in value. This is determined both by the natural characteristics of the stone and by the degree of enhancement that is employed. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Possibility of Extraterrestrial Life

An 8 page paper which researches the possibility of extraterrestrial life. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Life-Extending And Life-Altering Technologies: Moral, Theological and Ethical Concerns

4 pages in length. The scientific and popular news media have heralded several "life-extending" and "life-altering" technologies, not the least of which include embryonic stem-cell research, cloning, genetic intervention and organ transplantation. While such technologies represent remarkable developments and applications of man's emerging scientific understanding, these technologies also raise critical issues with respect to the ethics, morality and economics of these technologies. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

The Human Eye: Anatomy and Physiology

A 5 page review of the eye's structure and function. This paper reviews the major parts of the eyes and provides a detailed description of how it passes the information that it receives on to the brain. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Hasty Generalizations

6 pages in length. Unfailing accuracy, the basis upon which all scientific research is founded, is wholly compromised when hasty generalizations are applied to the study at hand. If science loses its otherwise steadfast association with accuracy – and thereby the truth – then its credibility will be forever invalid, and the human race would suffer greatly for it. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

The Human Integument

A 3 page overview of the basic features of human skin. The author describes the epidermis and the dermis and outlines the basic functions of each. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Designing a Research Framework

This 4 page paper helps the student design research to test an hypothesis. The framework shown is the framing of the null hypothesis (H0) and the alternative hypothesis (H1), the decision on what level of confidence to choose, looking at which statistics to test and deciding on which tests are most suitable. The example used is testing to see if genetically modified food and non modified food are the same. The bibliography cites 4 sources.

In The Presence of Dinosaurs (Book Review)

This 7 page book review presents an introduction along with critical chapter summaries. Much attention is paid to the illustrations. No additional sources cited.

Applying the Scientific Method to Terrorism

This 4 page paper applies the scientific method to a study of terrorism. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Astronomy Research and Extraterrestrial Life

A 4 page overview of man's quest for the discovery of extraterrestrial life. The author outlines some of the criteria that astronomers believe would be necessary for life to exist and emphasizes the importance of ongoing astronomical research. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

An Overview of Darwinism, Social Darwinism, and Industrial Progress

A 6 page paper which examines the concepts of Darwinism and Social Darwinism in terms of how they relate to industrial progress. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Long Range Navigational Habits of Birds

This 5 page paper outlines the long range navigational habits of birds. For centuries, researchers have recognized that birds fly long distances with great ease and appear to demonstrate navigational habits or systems that are unparalleled. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
