Correlation of Hearing Loss and Smoking
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper investigating the relation of hearing loss to cigarette smoking. Hearing loss and smoking would appear not to be related physically, given the information we have about the effects of smoking. The purpose here is to review the few studies that have been done and to draw some conclusions about the possible relationship. Research shows that it may be that hearing loss and smoking are closely related, not in biochemical relations but in the common environments in which both exist simultaneously. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Cousin Marriages: The Biological Deterrents
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page overview of the biological manifestations of inbreeding (consanguinity). Discusses the coefficient of relationship and how this relates to increase propensities for certain diseases, malformations, and maladaptations. Concludes that while the results of consanguinity can be negative there is also the increased likelihood of passing on certain desirable traits as well. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Crocodiles vs People: A Possible Solution?
[ send me this paper ]
A 13 page paper describing crocodiles and
discussing ways in which people can coexist with them. Crocodiles coexisted with the
dinosaurs, but they have survived their reptilian relatives by 65 million years. All 23 species
were listed as endangered in 1971, but only seven remain so designated. In 2000, it was
discovered that crocodile cartilage possesses the same anti-tumor bioactivity as does shark
cartilage. Preservation of the crocodile could be important for more than only the
ecosystems in which they live. Management in Australia has demonstrated that crocodiles
and humans can indeed coexist, without undue strain on either the crocodiles or the
humans. Bibliography lists 14 sources.

Current Research in Aspects of Cell Structure
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page paper discussing current research trained on structure, rather than on processes. There is so much attention focused on biochemical pathways and the interactions of compounds with each other that the basics of structure are often overlooked. As it becomes more important to discover methods of
industrial miniaturization and continued enhancement of return on the raw materials of meat
and meat product production, we likely can expect greater focus on natural structures and their influence in regulating processes. The paper includes an outline and discussion of
research focusing on bacterial flagella, cell walls, cell division and nerve cells. Bibliography
lists 11 sources.

Darwin's "Origin of the Species": An Evolutionary Progression of Concepts
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page discussion of the first eight chapters of Charles Darwin's "Origin of the Species". Presents the thesis that "Origin of the Species" itself is a product of evolutionary progression of thought. The first two-thirds of the book, Chapters 1 through 4, introduce Darwin's most basic evolutionary thoughts while the subsequent chapters 5 through 8 introduce the more complex concepts of Darwin's evolutionary theory. These chapters also show a correlation with the thoughts and work of others of Darwin's time, a correlation which builds rather than diminishes as the book moves from introduction to conclusion. These influences themselves can be contended to be environmental factors in shaping the final layout of "Origin of the Species". Bibliography lists 7 sources.

Darwin's Challenges to Convention
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing evolution, natural
selection and social Darwinism. There are many who continue to argue today that Darwin was
mistaken, that origin of species could not arise in the manner he described. There are many more,
however, absolutely convinced that Darwin found the mechanism by which species arise. The
controversy surrounding Darwin's theories continues, further supporting the statement that he
challenged accepted scientific theories and changed the way that people viewed science.

Defining Osmosis
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses and explains
the concept of osmosis which is how one element or
ingredient of a solution flows through a membrane while
other components of a solutuon are shut out and unable to
pass through the membrane. In order to determine which
membranes allow the flow of which constituents of a solution
requires experimentation since not all membranes act the
same way. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Denture Cleansers
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Maintaining one's own teeth is certainly a preferable alternative to having dentures; however, when the time comes to make such a decision, there are a number of considerations to be made beyond merely the fit. If dentures are not properly cleansed on a regular basis, this can lead to the same type of oral decay found in those without dentures. Denture cleansers are manufactured to help continue the process of good oral hygiene by effectively removing the build up of debris from prosthetic dental appliances. Powder, tablet or paste, the choice of material is solely a personal decision based upon past experience and preference. The write discusses various aspects of denture cleansers. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Destiny or Circumstance?: Are Human Beings in Charge of Their Destiny?
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page discussion of destiny as it relates to the actional and nonactional theories. Associates the theory of biological determinism with the nonactional theory but observes other areas of research which indicate numerous factors, particularly parental involvement in our childhood, affect the way we live our lives. Concludes that there is some validity to the Actional Theory, the theory that it is us that determine our destiny. What becomes clear, however, is that our destinies are determined not only by factors which are under our control but also be predetermined factors such as our genes. Destiny therefore is predetermined in some instances but entirely under our control in others. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
