Abstract
This paper describes the structure and function of the liver and gall bladder and the embryology of the liver. It also reviews two research papers, one on nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and the other on laser ablation for liver cancer.

From the Paper
"The liver is a large, reddish brown organ located primarily in the right hypochondriac and epigastric region of the abdomen, just below the diaphragm, and is the largest gland in the body. (Applegate Merck) The liver is divided into two major lobes and on the anterior surface the falciforme ligament composed of a double layer of peritoneum attaches it to the abdominal wall separating the right lobe from the left. There are two additional small lobes on the visceral surface. The caudal lobe lies..."

Abstract
This paper discusses whether or not hydrogen will replace fossil fuels for our vehicles in the years ahead.The paper focuses on the cost of transforming our vehicles into hydrogen-powered ones rather than fossil fuel-powered ones. The paper further notes that with the skyrocketing cost of gas and growing concerns about the environment and sustainable living, there is no question that alternative sources of fuel are desperately needed. Hydrogen could be one of the most important of those new energy sources.

From the Paper
"The following paper will discuss whether or not hydrogen will replace fossil fuels for our vehicles in the years ahead; because of space constraints, the focus will be on the cost of transforming our vehicles into hydrogen-powered ones rather than fossil fuel-powered ones. Certainly, the topic itself is interesting: with the skyrocketing cost of gas, with our generation's concerns about the environment and sustainable living, and with the obvious fact that fossil fuel reserves are not inexhaustible, there is no question that alternative sources of fuel are desperately needed; hydrogen could be one of the most important of those..."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that several critical issues exist in terms of hydrogen-burning cars. The writer points out that the use of hydrogen cars can contribute to saving the environment. The writer discusses that not only can they be used to reduce the amount of hydrocarbons being released into the atmosphere, their use can also help reduce the reliance that much of the world has on oil.

From the Paper
"Nevertheless there are many points that need to be considered, including the critical issues behind these cars, the positive and negative aspects of them and recommendations that might have an effect on their positive contribution to the automobile industry."

Abstract
This paper concerns the alternative fuel hydrogen. The writer notes how this fuel is produced and looks at some of the problems of making it practical for use in automobiles and other vehicles. The writer explains that storage is a major issue, because hydrogen takes up four items the space of a comparable fast energy source. Some of the research being conducted to correct this situation is noted, including new materials for storage.

From the Paper
"There are many reasons to embrace the demand for alternative fuels. The current state of the world's ongoing energy crisis, of the demand for fossil fuel and of the constant fighting over oil in the middle east, are all current events that are related to oil and fuel. However, we should also look to the future for the true reasons for using alternative fuels. The emissions from power plants, refineries and automobiles are causing global warming and irreversible damage to the ozone. This is why it is so important for scientists, engineers and researchers to break down the fossil fuel barrier and replace it with alternative fuels, one of which is hydrogen."

Abstract
This paper discusses the liver and hepatobiliary system in terms of clinically relevant anatomy. The writer explains that the liver and gall bladder are both considered a part of the digestive tract and are responsible for the synthesis and breakdown of many metabolites from the digestive system and the rest of the human body.

From the Paper
"The liver, considered the largest gland in the human body, is host to a variety of metabolic and detoxifying functions, specifically the synthesis, storage and breakdown of glucose, peptides and amino acids and fatty acids for use by the rest of the body and the deactivation or modification of foreign substances for excretion from the body. The gall bladder and hepatobiliary system is responsible for the production and storage of bile pigments and salts used in the transport of lipid-soluble substances within the water-soluble environment of the gut."

Abstract
This paper analyzes the benefits of hydrogen fuel cells and what transportation companies are investing in research and development for these technological advances. The paper further states that rather than examining only one company, it considers several and their various approaches. Two scholarly journals and one book were used in the analysis.

From the Paper
"The 21st century global marketplace has been witness to the advent of numerous technological advances in an effort to create efficiency and reduce the cost of utilizing expensive energy resources. Environmental policy has also played an important role in the legitimacy of large corporations primarily due to the alarming increase in global warming. As the world becomes closer to its neighbors through free-market trade, the relevance of environmental accountability becomes even more paramount. With oil rices rapidly increasing and technological advances in the synthesis of energy resources, the transportation industry is becoming..."

Abstract
This paper is on the prospects for the hydrogen powered car, noting the stakeholders involved, some of what they want, and how likely it is that the car will be produced in the near future. The paper indicates that the primary problem may be getting the fuel to the consumer in an economical way, given that the ultimate stakeholder is the consumer, who will be asked to buy these cars and who will want to have a car that performs as well as possible and to be able to refuel easily and economically.

From the Paper
"Hydrogen-powered cars operate on energy produced by the mixing of hydrogen and oxygen, with the only by-product being water. Stacy (2003) notes that General Motors is to provide $44 million to build a fleet of 40 hydrogen-fueled cars for use in New York, Washington, Michigan, and California, with another $44 million in matching funds to be provided by the U.S. Dept. of Energy. In addition, Shell Hydrogen LLC is to create five refueling stations in New York, Washington, California, and along the east coast, and this is seen as a major step in the development of hydrogen-fueled cars, given that automakers are reluctant to develop hydrogen cars both because of the cost and because of the current lack of refueling stations (Stacy, 2003, para. 1)."

Abstract
This paper presents a research study that aims to understand the aroma impact compounds of cooked beef liver. The research reviews how far back the knowledge of consumption of cooked liver of any type goes and why, prior to the knowledge of its nutritional value, it was considered important to eat liver. The negative connotation to eating liver both historically and presently is reviewed as well as who actually eats liver in both the U.S. and abroad. In addition, the paper famous liver dishes are reviewed as well as the current percent consumption of liver, specifically beef liver in the U.S. and why the rate of consumption is at this level. Lastly, this research paper reviews where the remainder of the liver goes to specifically the percent that goes in animal feed and the percent that goes into consumable or non-consumable products.

Review of the Literature

From the Paper
"There are two primary methods of raw beef liver consumption. The first method is to freeze the liver for two weeks after cutting into large chunks. The fourteen days of freezing is to make sure that pathogens and parasites are eliminated. The liver can be removed from the freeze and grated. The second method is cutting the liver into small pill-size chunks and after freezing for two weeks taking the liver the same as swallowing vitamins. Razaitis states that suggestions given by a Native Nutrition discussion group for liver preparation."
