Abstract
In this article, the writer explains that in the study of biology, histones are the main, large, organic compounds made of amino acids that are considered to be among the most important elements of chromatin. Chromatin is the compound and compact form of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in the nucleus that makes up chromosomes. The paper studies one of the major and core histones, the DNA that wraps the nucleosome around two copies each of histone proteins, the H2AX and focuses on histone as a gene or protein in the aquatic environment. The paper also discusses that histone H2AX is characterized by having a long terminal tail on one end of the amino acid structure and that this feature is the main difference from H2A.

From the Paper
"Once the DNA is damaged and its physiology is disturbed in normal healthy individual, the p53 protein or TP53 is activated and can start a cell cycle arrest. The tail of H2XA, also known as the carboxy terminus, rapidly becomes labeled with phosphate groups that generate species called gamma-H2AX. This protein functions as a tumor suppressor and protects the genes as it is closely controlled by phosphorylation. The phosphorylated histone H2AX cooperates in repairing the genetic damage. It preserves the stability of the cells and prevents the onset of tumors. In DNA repair, chromatic reorganization plays an important role. Chromatin is responsible in packaging the DNA into a smaller volume for it to fit in the cell. This process aims to strengthen the DNA to allow mitosis and meiosis, where the cells divides and separates into two identical sets. This is also vital in apoptosis, cell cycle checkpoints, and serves as a mechanism to control inheritable information from a gene. The H2AX histone phosphorylation kinetics correlated well with the kinetics of DNA-adducts removal at earlier recovery time points. The chromatin reorganization is composed of proteins that are involved in the process."

Abstract
This paper discusses the significance of the number three in Old English writings. The paper focuses on "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight" and how the number three in this work has triple importance. Specifically, the paper discusses the content of the work and examines the three different events that each happened in three stages: the three hunts of the Lord, the three seductions by the Lady, and the three swings of the ax that the Green Knight took.

From the Paper
"Each blow represented the way Sir Gawain responded to the three seductions by the Lady, and although Sir Gawain did not exchange the belt with the Lord, he also didn't commit adultery, so he was injured as opposed to killed. Each animal that the Lord hunted represented the Lady and her style of trying to seduce Sir Gawain. But, Sir Gawain stood strong, and survived to tell the tale of his journey to the other Knights of the Round Table, and was a lesson to the other men on how even the strongest man can have a flaw."

Abstract
"A psychologist, teacher, and historian, Hilliard began his career in the Denver Public Schools. in Educational Psychology from the University of Denver. Do we look at our students and think -- future president, future teacher, future garbage collector, future clerk, future executive, future computer whiz, future ax murderer, future bank robber? There are popular discussions on the worsening educational preparation for African-American students and ways of responding to it. There is no absence of discourse and literature produced by African-American scholars."

Abstract
This paper discusses two main themes of this Arthurian romance literary piece. It discusses the symbol of the axe which is present from the opening scene and represents impending death. The paper also highlights the theme of temptation portrayed by the color red. The author of the paper offers quotes from the text to qualify points made.

From the Paper
"Sir Gawain gains confidence from the gift and heads gloriously to meet the Knight of the Green Chapel. The author reinforces the color imagery of Sir Gawain's attire, "That girdle of green so goodly to see, /That against the gay red showed gorgeous bright. /Yet he wore not for its wealth that wondrous girdle,/Nor pride in its pendants, though polished they were,/Though glittering gold gleamed at the tips,/But to keep himself safe when consent he must/To endure a deadly dint, and all defense denied" (lines 2035-41). The contrast between red and green shows the moral dilemma the audience knows Sir Gawain faces. He has accepted the gift of a lady who was not his wife, and he is basically attempting to cheat death and the fate he deserves upon meeting the Green Knight. "

Abstract
This paper explores the reasons why the D.A.R.E. Program should not be eliminated from the curriculum in the face of strong statistical evidence that it is not effective in preventing drug abuse. The reasons explored demonstrate the positive contributions of the program in spite of its ambiguous results. The paper makes an emotional appeal for a reprieve from the budgetary axe.

From the Paper
"This paper shall explore the reasons why the D.A.R.E. Program should not be eliminated from the curriculum in the face of strong statistical evidence that it is not effective in preventing drug abuse. The reasons explored will demonstrate the positive contributions of the program in spite of its ambiguous results. In the end it will make an emotional appeal for a reprieve from the budgetary axe. Abolish D.A.R.E.? The question is posed, in light of seemingly overwhelming evidence of its ineffectiveness, why not abolish the D.A.R.E. Program. There are several..."

Abstract
The paper explores the horrific axe murders Lizzie Borden is supposed to have committed. The paper offers a look at her background and discusses how socialization theories suggest that her poverty-like conditions, family relationships, isolation from her peers and lack of self-image all played a part in her crimes.

From the Paper
"Lizzie (not Elizabeth, her baptismal name is Lizzie) was born in 1860, the daughter of Andrew Borden. Andrew was a successful banker and businessman, but like many Victorian fathers, was exceedingly strict with his two daughters. He was known to be worth a great deal "But refused to install plumbing in his home" (Burns, 2004), and still retains a reputation for meanness: "He and his family lived as paupers in a modest, two and one half story frame house in one of the poorest sections of town" (Dorfman, 2002). At the time of the murders, he and his daughters were not close: he had married again shortly after his first wife's death, and the girls and the stepmother quarreled frequently."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that jazz combined elements of blues with the swept up emotional roller coaster of a post depression country whose hard luck was translated by such artists as Coleman Hawkins, Buster Bailey, Kid Ory, Pee Wee Russell, and Henry 'Red' Allen. The writer discusses that defined by the wide range of notes, the call and response of musicians on stage and the presto tempo, Allen found his niche in music. The writer notes that although he began as a swing artist it is with jazz that he is most notably remembered. The writer concludes that while similar to Louis Armstrong in the beginning stages of his career, Allen quickly made a name for himself with his breaks and his incorporation of axe, or using only his voice or his trumpet to introduce a song.

A copy of the reference used is attached to this paper.

From the Paper
"Jazz is defined in its early stages by this presto tempo and the call and response of the singer or musician to the rest of the instrumental ensemble. In pitch and tone the musicians do not give up their pace but keep a steady sometimes harmonious sometimes dissonant rhythm especially among the horns in the middle of the song before the string comes into play. The instruments combine in this song to give a classical altered scale in turn giving the audience a slide with which to dance.
"The song Red Red Ride is pristine in its delivering of the axe. While at times some of the instruments share the stage to give a presto tempo and bombardment for the audience to get excited about it also delivers on allowing the stage to be taken over by one instrument, or sometimes only one musician's voice. This allows the audience to better identify with that instrument and what it is saying."

Abstract
The paper reveals that many of Edgar Allan Poe's short stories, although appearing reader friendly and merely stories of the macabre, have many layers of meaning. The paper discusses how decades later, literary scholars continue to debate exactly what themes and messages Poe was trying to convey. The paper examines "The Black Cat" and the elusive motives behind the murders committed.

From the Paper
"The "Black Cat," is essentially a narrative by a seemingly obsessed individual who is writing a journal entry "which I am about to pen," about a homicide with various layers of understanding, "For the most wild, yet most homely narrative." However, he does not expect anyone to actually believe this story. To make things more complicated, he is expressing that the narrative will be written in alternate states of reality, madness or dream, yet of an actual event that takes place in the ordinary, everyday world. He claims his purpose is to show "a series of mere household events" and hopes that someone in the future more logical and calm than he will understand the situation that he describes "with awe nothing more than an ordinary succession of very natural causes and effects" (p.230)"
