From the Paper
"The use of cellular communications devices in the United States has become virtually ubiquitous and Americans have embraced this technology in a major way; an unfortunate concomitant of this explosive growth in cellular communications, though, has been the need for frequently unsightly communications towers that can be as tall as 250 feet. While many companies have sought environmentally friendly alternatives by disguising these structures, the need for them remains solidly in place. There were more than 57,000 radio transmission sites throughout the country, with an estimated 110,000 antennae already in place by the end of 2002 (Tuesley 887). This proliferation of communications towers is a fundamental function of the explosive demand for wireless service and new technologies. For instance, in his essay, "Cellular tower proliferation in the United States," Thomas A. Wikle (2002) reports that cellular telephone towers have been placed in a growing number of cities, suburbs, and towns of America. This author estimates that more than 128,000 cellular antennae would be installed across the United States by the end of 2005 (Wikle 44). Clearly, cellular companies (also known as cell or wireless service providers) are under an increasing amount of pressure to extend their networks' geographical boundaries. Forecasts in the late 1990s suggested that 100,000 cellular telephone towers would be in place by 2010; in fact, though, by the end of 2001 that total had already been exceeded (Wikle 44)."

Abstract
This paper discusses the anatomical and physiological processes of cellular metabolism and anabolism, including what each is and what each does, the distinguishing characteristics between the two, how enzymes control the metabolic process, how cells access energy for their activities, how metabolic pathways are regulated and what the metabolic pathways of carbohydrate metabolism are.

From the Paper
"Metabolism is a chemical process that is performed by any living organism, at the cellular level, in order to balance energy. This energy balance is done by processing nutrients that come into the body at the cellular level, and the end result is the maintenance of life. Metabolism, really, is a combination of two separate types of reactions. The first type of reaction that makes up metabolism is catabolism. Catabolism is a decomposition reaction and thus is exergonic, which means that this type of reaction produces more energy than it consumes. Another term for this would be exothermic, that catabolism produces heat. Catabolic reactions take the energy stored in organic molecules and release this energy. Some important catabolic reactions that take place at the cellular level are the Krebs cycle, the electron transport chain, and glycolysis. In many ways, anabolism is the opposite of catabolism. "

Abstract
This piece examines the effects of the cellular phone on our society. It explains how the cell phone is changing the way people live, work, interact, socialize, and could also have deleterious effects on your health.

From the Paper
"The invention of cellular technology took place at Bell Labs in 1947, but government regulations slowed the process for licensing for nearly 35 years. Back in 1880, Alexander Graham Bell invented what was known as the Photophone. This invention used the principle behind the telephone to transmit words on a beam of light. But it took nearly another century before we would use this technology to its fullest capabilities. Cellular phones have been around for two decades, but early on only the wealthy were able to afford the technology. It was not until cell phones began to shrink in size and price that people began to depend on them (Royes 1992)."

From the Paper
"During recent years, U.S. Cellular has been engaged in growth and development strategies, managing in 2007 to add a total number of 297,000 new clients to their already existent customer base. This resulted in increased need for more staff and the human resource department had to develop the personnel planning, process through which they identify the present and future staffing needs of the organization. Another major change that generated implications was the introduction of newer and better technologies. These brought about a net increase in the quality of the products and also managed to increase the efficiency of the operations process, but forced the company employees to develop along. And this education and training of the personnel is an ongoing process within U.S. Cellular who wishes to benefit from the best employees that add value to the organization and help it differentiate its products and services."

Abstract
This paper examines how cellular phone infrastructure expanded in Hong Kong earlier and more effectively than it did in North America giving them a five to ten year lead on familiarity with cellphone customs. The paper also looks at how the later entrenchment of cellular phone technologies in North America accounts for the cultural differences in the usage and saturation of cellular phones and of SMS and other advanced services. In addition, the paper shows how the differences in cellphone use between Hong Kong and North America can be traced to infrastructure and are not easily explained by Marxist theories of differential use.

Conclusion

From the Paper
"Sociological theories of technology suggest that artifacts may reflect political and cultural realities. Differential cellular phone usage between North America and Canada reflects a political and cultural reality: telecommunications infrastructure in the United States and Canada continues to emphasize land lines, and cellular phone services are less entrenched as a result. In Hong Kong the reverse is true: land lines were far less embedded in the culture. Consumers embraced the new technology readily in Hong Kong because unlike in North America there was no need to transfer land line services over to cellular phones. Cellular phone service is more widespread and reliable in Hong Kong and consumers there expect to use their cellular phone as a primary means of communication regardless of the rate plans."

Abstract
This paper discusses the model A670 cellular phone from Samsung and the history of cell phones in general. This paper reviews how cellular phone models are continuously getting more compact and lighter in weight. This paper also draws the attention to the dangers of using a cell phone.

From the Paper
"In this day and age, cell phones are everywhere. Even five or ten years ago, the cost and size of cell phones were prohibitive reasons for people not to constantly have their unit in use. But with the advent of affordable calling plans and tiny, lightweight cellular phones, these devices have become commonplace among all walks of life, all ages, and in any and all physical settings. One of the most popular and commonly seen cell phone models is Samsung's A670 phone. This phone is popular among users because of its inexpensive pricing, its small design, and the availability of extra features because of said popularity and volume. Yet, with the many positives and status quo nature of cell phones, and this model in particular, come some negatives. In the past years, researchers have linked cell phones not only to automotive fatalities, but to cancerous tumors, as well."

Abstract
All cell phone services promise better rates and better services to their customers but only technological advances can truly provide a longer lasting battery life for cell phone users. The paper shows that the overall goal of the cellular phone industry and its users is to improve the quality and length of service of cell phones, without requiring the phones to be charged as often as they must be at present, on as consistent a basis as before. Consumers want this to be accomplished at the lowest price possible and companies wish to provide a competitive price. The paper shows that the cellular phone battery market, given the changing nature of the technology and its relatively new status on the market represents a highly competitive and volatile industry. However, new advances in cell phone technology could give potential innovators a lock on the market. The paper examines two existing cellular phone batteries - Nickel Cadmium and Lithium Ion.

From the Paper
"Users of cellular phones are currently faced with a dilemma of quality versus expense. The solution for the industry would be to provide an inexpensive form of technology that allows users to top up on their charge as often as users want. However, at present this is easier envisioned than accomplished with current technology. In a November 2, 2002 article in the trade journal Battery News, Tyco Electronics Power Systems Inc., a supplier of telecommunications power equipment, and Valence Technology Inc., a developer and manufacturer of Saphion technology and Li-on polymer rechargeable batteries, are said to be collaborating "to evaluate and develop Valence's Saphion Li-on technology" in the hopes of creating inexpensive Li-on batteries. A cellular battery that is inexpensive, does not suffer from voltage depression, and can be recharged on the convenience of the user, and poses no environmental hazards may be in the works. Should this be developed, the competition amongst cellular phone services would escalate, unless only one type of phone or service secures a patent over these potentially inexpensive Li-on batteries."
