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.

Prioritizing NASA Projects
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper weighing options in a hypothetical
light. The assumption is that the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)
has committed itself to expensive major programs in Mars exploration and in searching for
and characterizing planetary systems near other stars. The program with the highest
priority will be retained and the other will be suspended. The purpose here is to determine
which program has the highest priority; the paper concludes that the Mars mission should
be retained. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Production of Lactic Acid: Artificial Vs Natural
[ send me this paper ]
14 pages in length. As with most things in the twenty-first century, the production of lactic acid has become the latest victim of progress. The natural process that produces the fermented composition of lactose (milk sugar) is no longer
considered economically feasible in its current state, inasmuch as it can be reproduced at a rate that is both faster and cheaper. Critics contend that while this technological breakthrough may be beneficial in some ways, it is not looked upon as a advancement toward better nutrition or a plus for the environment. Their claim is that while the ongoing pursuit of bioengineering may produce a viable form of lactic acid, the very process of extracting this substance is what remains in question. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

Reinforced Soil Steel
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing the practice of reinforcing soil with narrow steel bands, a technique that provides immense benefit in soil stabilization for construction projects and can reduce costs as much as 50 percent. This method of reinforcing soil for construction purposes has been found to be useful in a variety of settings and for a wide range of purchases. It is useful in virtually any setting in which there will be static or dynamic stresses on supporting soil, such as bridge abutments or roadways running along the top of sloping terrain. It is also useful in areas in which earthquake activity is common. Includes 2 figures. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Sauer and Semple on Geography
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page paper provides an overview of Sauer and Semple's views on geography. The works of Carl Sauer and Ellen Churchill Semple represent a considerable body of work on geography, environmental issues and the impacts of humans on the world. Though Sauer and Semple have developed distinct views of the processes of geographic change, Sauer is often considered to be in direct opposition to Semple's environmental determinism and human ecology. This paper considers this supposition. Bibliography lists two sources.

Seed Dispersal Mechanisms Found In Epiphytic Plants
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. Epiphytic plants – those such as herbs that live off other plants – utilized various seed dispersal mechanisms depending upon habitat and whether or not those mechanisms are biotic or abiotic. When examining these criteria, it is important to consider how nature's impact upon said mechanisms can become interwoven with man's attempts to intervene in the natural course of seed dispersal. Of the myriad ways in which epiphytic plants spread their seed and ultimately make it to appropriate sites for germination and establishment, the use of fire, wind and animals represent the primary ways in which new plant growth is made possible. Some plants even employ the help of more than one way in which to disperse their seeds. Bibliography lists 12 sources.

Significance Of The Telescope
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. Mankind twitters at the thought of life outside the limitations of planet Earth; the telescope has helped to define - at least to some degree - what makes up the universe that humans can see with their eyes, as well as gives people an indication of what might exist beyond that visual range. In essence, the telescope is the conduit between the tangible reality of that which exists on this planet and the peripheral - even ethereal - components that reside in the vastness of space.
