E Coli
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page paper discussing the E. coli infection. This is an infection which can
prove to be very dangerous to the health of an individual, and is normally contracted
through tainted meats and dairy products. While the majority of the cases result in
nothing more than digestive problems, there is the chance that an infection could result in
death. A description of the pathogen, and the method of transmission is discussed,
followed by a section discussing the symptoms and effects. There are also sections
covering treatment of the condition and preventive measures that can, and should, be
taken in an effort to reduce the risk of contracting E coli. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Earth's Equilibrium
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Earth's survival depends upon the collective efforts of each and every species living on the planet; among the overall order or life forms, man is the only one who has not abided by this fundamental doctrine. In fact, humanity has gone so far in the opposite direction that all the major environmental issues plaguing planet Earth today are a direct result of progressing the human species at the expense of all others. The extent to which Earth's equilibrium is under considerable pressure is both grand and far-reaching; that the climate increase indicates a treacherous path toward unstoppable instability speaks to how the planet's fragile equilibrium is a sign of what waits ahead. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Earthquake Hazards And Effects
[ send me this paper ]
6 pages in length. Of all the devastating natural disasters to impact mankind, earthquakes are perhaps the most detrimental due to their unannounced presence. Unlike tornadoes or fires that can be detected in advance – albeit with short notice – earthquakes provide no warning device; when they strike, they do so with a vengeance and without notice. As such, effects from earthquake activity (shaking ground) and subsequent consequences resulting from the violent movement (ground failure, tsunamis) present a number of unfavorable circumstances for those within the reach of the fault line. Thankfully, the combination of technological advancement and the implementation of hazard mitigation plans has given seismologists the ability to forewarn and prepare the public if only enough to take cover before disaster strikes. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Earthquakes & The New Madrid Fault
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page research paper that examines the most dangerous geological feature of the North American heartland. While most Americans think of California whenever the topic of earthquakes comes up, the residents of New Madrid, Missouri suffered through the worst series of quakes in the known history of North America during an eight-week period in the winter of 1811 to 1812. The three principal shocks have been determined to have had a magnitude of 8.0 or higher. Additionally, ten of the aftershocks reached or exceeded a magnitude of 6.0, and at least three may have reached 7.0. Scientists now believe that eyewitness stories of the Mississippi flowing backward, and waterfalls on the Mississippi are true. The writer discusses what is now known about what happened during this dramatic eight-week period. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Ecology of the Coral Reefs in the Hawaiian Islands
[ send me this paper ]
This is an 8 page paper discussing the ecology of the Hawaiian coral reefs. The Hawaiian Islands stretch for over 2,300 kilometers and also contain what are considered unique coral reefs because they are geologically younger than many other coral reefs, have no barrier reefs among the windward islands, and are also less diverse than many other coral reef ecosystems in the Pacific. Despite this however, the Hawaiian coral reefs ecology, divided into four zones based on the depth and distance from the shore, does have a diverse assortment of corals, plant life, invertebrates and fishes among larger species which live among the reefs. The ecology of the coral reefs in Hawaii is divided up into the reef flat zone (0-2 m from shore) which is most affected by terrestrial run-off and heavy wave impact; the reef bench zone (2-10 m) which has the largest diversity of coral, fish, invertebrate and plant species, the reef slope zone (10-30 m) in which finger coral is the dominant coral species; and the rubble zone (30-40 m) which is primarily coral fragments, rock and sand which provides a habitat for lobe and finger corals as well as sea cucumbers and an assortment of fish. Coral reefs in Hawaii provide a vast amount of revenue for the area at well over $250 million annually in the areas of commercial and recreational fishing and tourism. Like many of the coral reefs around the world however, the coral reefs in Hawaii are being damaged by a combination of natural and manmade events. Industrial, nutrient and fresh-water run-off kills the coral closest to the shore and allows for the spread of coral-killing algae after which recovery of the reef takes a great deal of time. In addition, increase in global water temperatures has led to coral bleaching which in some areas the reefs show little sign of recovery. Includes one page abstract.

Effects of Volatile Anesthetics on G Proteins
[ send me this paper ]
This 12 page
report discusses the effects of volatile (inhalation) anesthetics
on G-proteins. G proteins are a key to the chemical “switches”
that get take place in order to communicate messages in the body.
As the receptors react, they change shape which then allows for
the G protein to also change. It releases the a GDP molecule and
grabs onto a related molecule called GTP. Having attached the
GTP to itself, it then acts on membrane processes such as enzymes
and ion channels. That process then results in a new “messenger”
molecule -- cyclic AMP. An 'enzymatic cascade' then takes place
because the AMP causes a protein reaction. A literature review is
included that outlines a number of the projects regarding the
subject that have been undertaken in the past decade.
Bibliography lists 10 sources.
