Abstract
This paper looks at the life and legacy of Joseph Fourier, a French mathematician who flourished in the early 1800s. The writer explains that he studied math with many great mathematicians including Gaspard Monge, Joseph Louis Lagrange, and Pierre-Simon Laplace. Fourier was also a member of Napoleon Bonaparte's army, but he is best known for developing his analytical theory of heat. From these studies the Fourier series as well as the Fourier analysis came to be named after him. Fourier is also credited with the discovery of the greenhouse effect, as he was the first to come up with the idea that gases in the atmosphere may increase the surface temperature of the Earth. This paper contains figures and mathematical formulas.

From the Paper
"Shortly after Joseph Fourier attended Ecole Normale Superieure as a student he began teaching once again. He began his teachings at the College de France and the whole time he was teaching there he remained in contact with Lagrange, Laplace and Monge. Because of Fourier's contact with Monge he was given a position as a lecturer at the Ecole Centrale des Travaux Publiques where Monge was one of the main professors alongside Lazare Carnot. The Ecole Centrale des Travaux Publiques was renamed as Ecole Polytechnique shortly after Fourier began lecturing there. After a couple of years lecturing on subjects that included calculus, statistics, statics, hydrostatics, dynamics and probability, Fourier was given the opportunity to be the chair of analysis and mechanics."

Abstract
This paper examines why Formula One racing has not succeeded in the US and examines the effects that it has on the attempts by global advertisers and FISA to create a truly global sponsorship platform. The paper makes the case that Formula One racing will not be successful in the United States in the future, despite the successful globalization efforts of many of its sponsors. It also demonstrates that F1's failure to capture the US imagination will result in a gradual decline in the importance of the sport to global commercial sponsors (although not for global governmental partners).

From the Paper
"Coming to the United States: Benefits for the Participants
The rewards of extending Formula One1 to the US are clear. Although comprising only 5% of the world population, the US accounts for 30% of global GNP (Julius 2005) . Many of the world's largest and most-successful multinationals are headquartered in the US. And the US is the largest car market in the world (Roberts 2006). The potential for sponsorship should exist both inside and outside the US' borders: from multinational companies already sponsoring F1 teams that wish to extend their marketing reach in the sport to the US, to companies (like AT&T) that are headquartered in the US that would like to extend their brand recognition in an effective way to the rest of the world."

Abstract
This paper explores the initial controversy caused by Nestle Company and other multinational companies' marketing of baby formula to impoverished nations. The paper looks at the pamphlet, "The Baby Killer", which raised public awareness about the problem of how the baby formula was being marketed and the resulting infant deaths and looks at Nestle's response to the pamphlet. The paper also examines the consequences of the pamphlet in terms of how private voluntary organizations and international agencies have subsequently been able to influence the way companies do business in Third World nations, as well as the continuing controversy concerning predatory marketing in Third World countries.

From the Paper
"The story of the Nestle Baby Formula Controversy begins almost three decades ago with the publication of a pamphlet called "The Baby Killer" in 1974 by Mike Muller and War on Want, a London-based activist group concerned with problems of the Third World (Akhter 1994). The pamphlet claimed that Third World babies were dying because their mothers were feeding them infant formula that was being marketed by multinationals such a Nestle of Switzerland and United Kingdom's Cow and Gate (Akhter 1994). The aftermath of the publication led to an international crisis for Nestle."

Abstract
This paper is a brief summary of the safety innovations in the sport of high-speed formula one racing. There is an emphasis on the 1955 accident at the Le Mans track that proved the need to enforce safety standards and to "scale" the performance of the cars. Safety measures were taken to bank and widen tracks, to protect the stands, and within the bodies of the cars. Modern formula one racing is considered quite safe and has returned to countries that had originally banned it after the accident at Le Mans.

Abstract
he paper is written in the form of a laboratory report. The purpose of the experiment was to use an empirical formula in order to find a compound which has been created inside a crucible. The paper shows the procedure in which the experiment was done as well as its outcome. Flow charts, tabulated results and mathematical calculations are also included in the paper.

From the Paper
"The importance of safety precautions is extremely important in trying to maintain a safe and healthful research environment. When working with all extremely hot metals with your hands, gloves should be worn at all times. The temperatures of these metals or "hot objects" absorb heat and could cause damage to the skin if touched. Without the use of gloves, hands can be severely burnt. One mistake or foolish act could cause much pain and suffering to students in the laboratory. People who do not handle hot objects carefully can get their nerves burnt off on their finger tips and could possibly never feel again. It is not worth taking a risk of not using gloves when applicable. Everyone wants to be safe in the laboratory so it is important to be aware and cautious. A safe laboratory is a safe life."

Abstract
The writer relates that his starting point in approaching the theme of analytical approaches to gender and violence is that he does not consider violence to be an inexplicable aberration. Instead, the writer believes that violence is an essential part of the patriarchal system; just as capitalism cannot exist without some unemployment, the writer thinks that patriarchy could not exist without violence directed by men against women.

'My starting point in approaching the theme of analytical approaches to gender and violence is that I do not consider violence to be inexplicable aberration. Instead, I believe that violence is an essential part of the patriarchal system. Just as capitalism cannot exist without some unemployment, I think that patriarchy could not exist without violence directed by men against women. From my feminist perspective, violence against women is an integral part of our patriarchal society, indeed as important to the maintenance of the existing status quo as more acceptable things, such as families or laws."

Abstract
This paper explains that Cubism is the process of passage from a bar-baric dis-symmetry to an advanced abstract geometry. The paper then looks at how the the term analytical Cubism refers to Picasso and Braque's work of 1910 through early 1912 and how the term synthetic Cubism refers to their work of later 1912 through 1914. It also examines the objective contributions of Picasso and Braque to the development of modern art, particularly towards abstraction.

From the Paper
"By 1909, Picasso, working in close collaboration with Georges Braque, had invented Cubism, a kind of painting more sculptural than any before, since it presented simultaneously more than one view of the subject. Indeed, Picasso had definitely renounced the traditional chia roscuro - the technique of evoking three-dimensional form by reproducing the way that incident light plays across it, producing a sequence of highlights and shadows. Picasso apparently considered chiaroscuro a "dishonest" way of representing three-dimensional form; he therefore turned to faceting as a means of describing three-dimensional form without using conventional shading. After the dematerialization of form in Impressionism, and the flattening of form in Post-Impres sionism, this restoration of a sense of sculptural solidity (without a return to conventional real ism) was a major achievement.

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that Immanuel Kant had a distinct moral philosophy, which he expressed in three formulations. The writer concentrates on Kant's philosopy of universal law and explains that this is an expression of moral law.

From the Paper
Immanuel Kant had a distinct moral philosophy, which he expressed in three formulations: "the formula of universal law, the formula of the end in itself, and the formula of the kingdom of ends". The formula of universal law is an expression of moral law and does not refer to an end of any sort. In essence, to respect moral law is to act morally; therefore, to act from moral law is to act "from the mere universality of one's maxim" ..."

Abstract
This paper provides a case study on the Hilton Hotel. The main focus is on their ability to recruit customers and create customer loyalty. Using a compare and contrast formula, the writer provides research, data, and reports to show how they succeed and fail when retaining customers. This research and data is provided partly through charts and graphs in the appendix. Much of this retaining of customers, the paper says, is from its unique and distinct avenue of branding.

From the Paper
"At the center of Hilton's ability to respond quickly to unmet market needs is their ability to gather, analyze and then put into context customer satisfaction, competitive pricing, price and revenue management, and local market data into differentiated service strategies. The high levels of customer loyalty even in the midst of one of the most severe economic recessions globally in decades makes this strength of the company all the more visible (Barsky, 2008). Hilton's strategy for battling back against the global economic recession is to not put their pricing into freefall, but to overcompensate with exceptional service across all brands of hotels and extended stay locations they operate globally. During the summer of 2009 when many of the properties who during other times of the year get the majority of guests from business travel are seeing an influx of guests who are traveling on leisure. This segment requires an entirely different mindset in terms of service, as their SERVQUAL surveys (Parasuraman, Zeithaml, Berry, 1988) have shown. The leisure traveler who chooses a Hilton hotel has higher expectations than the traditional business traveler as they are traveling with their families. To respond to this influx of leisure travel guests, Hilton has created a program for guests to send in notes when they receive exceptional service from staff. This program has been very effective in transforming the mindset of service staffs in hotels that during other months of the year get business travelers to be more attuned to the unique needs of families traveling together. This entire strategy was based on insights gained by analyzing SERVQUAL data comparing business versus leisure travelers, financial implications of family-based loyalty, and the need to re-orient service staffs from concentrating on efficiency and speed which is much valued by the business traveler to empathy and relationships, which are more valued by the leisure traveler, the majority of which staying at Hiltons are from families."
