"Apple Computer, Inc. (Apple) is an innovative computing company that has been the main rival to Microsoft for approximately the last 28 years. In terms of market share, Microsoft dwarfs Apple and will continue to do so into the foreseeable future. Microsoft, however, has long trailed Apple in terms of innovative new products, product design and in customer fealty. Apple markets computing software, computers and computer peripherals, music players, an online music distribution service, as well as servers, laptops and its own line of retail outlets (Form, 2004, p. 1).

Abstract
This paper discusses the student code of conduct on university campuses and looks at how this code is not always respected or upheld by the students attending the universities. The paper then goes on to elaborate on how students do not always comply with the student code of conduct and concludes that a student code of conduct is not enough to ensure proper behavior and conduct on campus. Instead, universities should seek alternative actions to enforce and uphold polices that will ensure that the students are enriched through a "safe" and positive academic experience.

From the Paper
" Another act of violence that is occurring on college campuses is hazing. "Hazing" includes activities such as being kidnapped, abandoned, excessive drinking, sexual acts, assault, and in some circumstances, even death. Hazing continues to be prevalent amongst college students as a form of "initiation" or "admission". Students believe that hazing promotes unity and team cohesiveness. The reality about hazing is that it usually goes on under a blanket of sworn secrecy (Campo, Paulos, Sipple, 2005); which makes this problem one that should not be tolerated. A zero tolerance rule should also be adopted for any violent acts on campus. Campo and her colleagues (2005), describe hazing as any activity that is a "condition of initiation" in an organization that may have a negative impact on the physical and/or emotional well-being of individuals and/or their peers. Hazing has been practiced for years; most commonly identified to athletes, fraternities and sororities."

Abstract
The paper discusses how the nursing code of ethics began with Florence Nightingale in 1893 and was patterned "after the hypocratic oath" taken by physicians (Hook & White, 2008, p. 1). The paper relates that by 1896, the Nurses' Associated Alumnae in both Canada and the United States came together, creating the American Nurses Association, as well as a new code of ethics to be used throughout nursing practice. This code was then replaced in the 1940s by a code mandating 17 provisions for nurses to adhere to, which were not altered until the late 1960s, reducing the number of provisions to ten (Hook & White, 2008, p. 3). The paper explains that by the late 1970s, 11 provisions were adopted and in 1985 and 2001 interpretive statements were added.

Abstract
The main purpose of this paper is to analyze different aspects of Pulse Code Modulation including sampling theory, aliasing, quantizing and effect of non-uniform quantization. Each part of the paper begins with the theoretical analysis; then the simulation results are presented. Finally the practical measurement results are demonstrated and discussed. For better analysis and subjective evaluation of quantization process, a Java-MATLAB application is developed (the source codes are included). Finally in the conclusion, the main points of each part are summarized.

"Sampling is the first step in any pulse modulation system. In fact by sampling, a signal is represented by set of discrete samples. If the frequency of the sampling is high enough, the original signal can be recovered from the samples. This concept will be examined with more details later. From the mathematical point of view, the sampling process can be considered as the multiplication of the message signal by a train of Dirac impulses. "

Abstract
In this article, the writer compares and contrasts the legal codes established by Babylon's Hammurabi in BCE and that of Byzantine Emperor Justinian I in 500 CE. The writer identifies similarities and differences in two legal codes.

From the Paper
"Many different societies and cultures have created legal codes by means of which social order and public conduct were to be measured and maintained. Two such legal systems or codes were developed by the brilliant Babylonian king Hammurabi - B C E and the Byzantine Emperor Justinian I - C E. This brief essay will compare the approaches of each legal code to the issues of justice and judgment. Both codes as will be demonstrated positioned the father ..."

Abstract
This paper describes the pre-World War II Japanese code machine known as Purple, and how US cryptanalysts broke it. Additionally, the paper discusses the distinction between codes and ciphers, further examining the technology of the Purple machine and the means of breaking its code. The paper concludes with an analysis of the US failure to prevent Pearl Harbor along with later successful use of decoded Japanese secret information.

From the Paper
"Prior to its entry into the Second World War the United States had no overall national intelligence-gathering and interpretation agencie. The Office of Strategic Services (OSS), the ancestor of the CIA, was only established after the US entered the war. Both the exigencies of war and the shock of the surprise attack at Pearl Harbor led to a dramatic expansion and coordination of intelligence gathering which was then institutionalized in peacetime by the National Security Act ..."

Abstract
The paper discusses the Samurai and their code of honor. The paper talks about Japan's warrior class and various aspects of the code, including the absence of the fear of death. The paper includes the concept of an honorable death to regain honor. The paper concludes with the impact of the code of honor on Japanese soldiers in World War II.

From the Paper
"In Japan, the warrior class was known as Bushido. The Samurai and Their Use of Bushido: Integral to this code was an absence of any fear of death and the belief that dying in battle would bring honor to one's family and one's lord."

Abstract
This paper relates that the Professional Engineers' Code of Ethics covers the basic requirements for the engineer in terms of ethics,. The author points out that the code shows that the engineer should show ethical behavior to his or her associates, employers, clients, subordinates, and employees, which includes the public in its broadest application. This paper notes that the code cites the need for he engineer not only to be competent but to keep up with new developments in the field and so to pursue ongoing education in this field in order to have that necessary knowledge.

From the Paper
"The engineer has a number of levels of responsibility and may have to balance those based on which are more important. His or her primary responsibility is to the professional code of ethics, which in turn is based on the view that the profession owes a responsibility to society and must place this responsibility first. In the case of a project being paid for by the taxpayer, the engineer owes it to society to assure that the costs are not excessive and that the project that is being done has a good chance of success at the price being paid. There are a number of different rationales offered for why engineers have particular obligations to serve the interests of the public and to especially work to maintain safety as part of their public trust."

Abstract
This paper, written in the form of a speech to the school body, examines the advantages and disadvantages of dress codes in schools. It cites a case study of a boy who wore his pajamas to school and uses this as a catalyst in support of the writers argument to get rid of dress codes.

From the Paper
"Good morning/afternoon, teachers and fellow students. I'm sure we all started today very similar to each other: we crawled out of bed after throwing our alarm clock at the wall " puzzled as to why it still works after about a million confrontations with that wall " we get dressed, grab a bite for breakfast "or not" and try not to miss our bus or the regular car pool. Am I right? Well, one person broke that routine one morning. His name is Daniel Lade and he's in tenth grade at Middleton High School. One morning he fronted up to school in wearing a full set of pajamas! And they weren't the flannel variety either which can pass for street wear. No, my friends, Daniel wore a full set of navy blue pajamas covered in tiny stars. 2 days later, some of his fellow students wore their pajamas to school. The principal of the school reprimanded Daniel for wearing his pajamas to school but let the other students go because they were wearing the flannel variety and the principal saw nothing wrong with it. (Landry, 2001, 1) Do you believe that Daniel deserved the "dressing down" as it were or do you think it was unfair of the principal to intervene? I'll come back to my question a little later in this presentation. Just hold that thought."
