In Favor of Stem Cell Research
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page paper arguing that embryonic stem cell research should be permitted on embryos created in fertility clinics not supported by federal funds. Though we should proceed cautiously and certainly not allow creation of embryos solely for research purposes, neither should we reject out of hand investigating the use of stem cells already available through fertility clinics for the treatment of disease that exists now.

In Support Of Cloning Body Parts
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. People may be living longer these days; however, that has not stopped the scientific community from pursuing other avenues of extended life. The concept of body part cloning has a tremendous potential of sustaining life where it otherwise would not have existed, particularly in the form of cell regrowth and organ transplant. Indeed, to think that mankind would ever have the ability to create a heart or liver from the point of origin can be labeled as purely science fiction, yet contemporary medicine is demonstrating how this monumental feat not only exists today but is also going to benefit all of humanity.

Inability of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to Invade Epithelial Cells
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page paper discussing the research investigating possible paths to genetically altering this opportunistic bacterium so that it is unable to cause disease. The organism is ubiquitous, but rarely causes disease in healthy individuals. In those with compromised immune systems, however, it can be quite devastating. The focus of the research here is on genetically altering the organism's cell membrane so that it is not as readily able to adhere to epithelial cells, or so that it is not as readily taken up by them. Bibliography lists 10 sources in 20 footnotes.

Insulin and Diabetes
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page paper discussing the chemical action of insulin, which has been misunderstood for decades. As researchers made discoveries that led them to believe they had discovered answers, frequently it was revealed that all that had been "discovered" was more questions. After decades of believing that excess sugar in the diet does not specifically cause diabetes, researchers have found results that suggest such could be the case, or at least contribute to the emergence of the condition. Again, what has been discovered is not an answer, but represents yet another question. Bibliography lists 8 sources. Includes an abstract.

Invasive Non-Native Plants
[ send me this paper ]
This 10 page report discusses non-native, invasive plants and the fact that they have often damaged more habitat than development. Non-native plants or invasive weeds follow a growth pattern opposite the native plants and overcome habitats either before or after the native plants are in season. They may be harmless and beneficial in their natural surroundings, but they can totally devastate different environments. Greater effort must be spent to make individuals aware of the potential harm and destroy non-native invaders when they first appear. Bibliography lists 16 sources.

Is Facial Communication Universal?
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page discussion of facial expression. Utilizes the research in the field to explore the question of whether or not certain facial expressions are universal in their meaning, e.g. that they have the same meaning regardless of the cultural context. Contrasts the view that facial expression are solely cultural manifestations and thus vary in meaning according to culture and the view that these expressions are biological in their basis and thus have the same meaning regardless of the cultural context. Concludes that while some expressions are universal in their meaning, facial expression is dependent not only on biology but also on culture and on minute-specific details of an encounter. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Is It Immoral To Believe A Claim Without Evidence?
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. To believe is to place one's faith in what is being put forth; whether the origin is written, spoken or visual, belief can be cultivated with very little proof to support conviction toward an otherwise improvable concept or image. Scientists understand the critical importance of believing a claim only after tangible evidence can be demonstrated, inasmuch as they are in a wholly awkward position to accept things as true merely because they are told so. The scientific community works within a highly controlled environment whereby speculation and theoretical inference hold no value; to do otherwise is to morally jeopardize the foundation upon which methodical, precise research is conducted. From an entirely different perspective, however, is that of philosophy and the oftentimes unverifiable claims that are accepted as truths. Being that philosophical conjecture is based solely upon one's personal point of view that incorporates thought processes not always shared by others, it stands to reason how morality's role in believing a theoretic claim without evidence is indeed a commonality. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Is Social Scientific Research a Science?
[ send me this paper ]
This 10 page report discusses whether or not social scientific research qualifies as “real” science. Is there a single logic of explanation common to all empirical social scientific research? Is that logic a statistical one? Or is it more closely analogous to biological research that offers the “mechanics” of cell structure and reproduction? In order to be considered as “real” science, must a course of research study and its methodologies involve both quantitative and qualitative processes? The point to be made is that “social research” is the science of society and the creatures that inhabit it. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Is the Shroud of Turin Real?
[ send me this paper ]
An 11 page paper arguing that the Shroud of Turin very well could be the burial cloth of Jesus. Opponents claim that proponents of the shroud being authentic are guilty of "shroudscience" in which they begin with the desired answer and then seek methods to validate that answer; he apparently is unaware that opponents appear to be most guilty of the practice. Several vocal naysayers claim that carbon dating work in 1988 prove the shroud originates in the 14th century, yet they refuse to discuss the shoddy science that produced that conclusion. "Serious and credentialed researchers continue to produce evidence that cannot easily be explained away." The Shroud of Turin looks far more like the burial cloth of Jesus and much less like a medieval hoax. Bibliography lists 11 sources.

Knot Theory and Quantitative Literacy
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing mathematical knot theory and how it can be used to illustrate quantitative literacy. A mathematical researcher noticed that the equations derived in the complex area of knot investigation were closely aligned with many of the standard equations of quantum physics. Further investigation reveals applicability of knot theory to the action of replicating DNA molecules, but the initial realization of knot theory's equations' similarities with other disciplines was possible only under quantitative literacy, in which the individual is able to draw conclusions in one area using information from another. It normally is explained within the framework of being able to apply arithmetic lessons to daily life, such as determining an appropriate restaurant tip. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
