Abstract This paper discusses the issue of color deficiency in the eye. It addresses the causes of color blindness, the types of color blindness and how the deficiency is detected by doctors. It further discusses tests for color deficiency as well as research that has been ongoing in the area of color deficiency. The paper then looks at the future of research that will address this issue.
From the Paper "Until recent years those who have suffered from color deficiencies of the eye had to find creative methods of living with the disorder. Little research was developed to aid those with this complication to life, and very few in society truly had an understanding of what was involved in the physical malfunction of the eye. Yet, scientists and doctors are now examining many methods of understanding color deficiency, and are beginning to be able to provide long needed answers to those who have contended with the problem throughout their lives. Color deficiency, or color blindness, is a "malfunction of the retina" of the eye (Heath, n.d.). Light that is transmitted to the retina can be affected by two elements. These two elements are rods and cones. Rods are less complicated, and affect the brightness of an object."
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 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.

From the Paper "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 This paper takes a look at the color violet, a dye derived from the primary color found in the plant of the same name. According to the paper, violet flower, that exists in over 500 varieties, may grow on bushes or be found growing low to the ground. In some cases violet flowers will grow on a stem without leaves, as the leaves grow on separate stems beside the flowered stem. The paper further discusses how most people consider the violet to consistently be of the same color, whereas in reality, many violet plants produce multiple colored flowers dependant upon the time of the year in which they bloom ("Violet").
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 discusses white as a color and more specifically, white light. The paper describes the qualities of the color white and the multifaceted nature of existence and the way that it relates to significant chemical alterations in nature. The paper goes on to discuss the importance of white light to the scientific understanding of reflective light and the dimensions of other colors.
From the Paper "Dimensions of the Color White Outline I Introduction. White as a color is not often considered to have many dimensions or properties that are significant to either science or society. While white may carry with it the concept of "purity", the color itself is multifaceted and related to significant chemical alterations in nature. White light has been especially important to scientific understanding of reflective light and the dimensions of other colors. Scientifically white must possess certain chemical compounds in order to exist, and in the field of psychology, white speaks to individuals through subconscious messages about the world they live in."
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 pyjamas 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 pyjamas! 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 pyjamas covered in tiny stars. 2 days later, some of his fellow students wore their pyjamas to school. The principal of the school reprimanded Daniel for wearing his pyjamas 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."
Abstract The following paper will consider the Samurai in four parts: history, the development of the code, the belief and way of the Samurai, and the Bushido code.

Abstract This paper analyzes the use of mobile code, including security considerations on networks, and concludes that mobile codes are necessary and useful, but require strict security measures to maintain data integrity.
From the Paper "Even casual computer users are familiar with firewalls - programs designed to protect their computers from malicious programs that might download themselves onto unsuspecting machines when they are connected to the Internet. What many computer users may not understand is that the same type of programs that might contain viruses and Trojan horses are also used to perform critical functions when one is connected to the Internet. These small programs automatically download themselves onto machines without action from the user and run in the background... "

Abstract This paper provides an explanation of the genetics involved in breeding a certain color horse. Colors covered include black, chestnut, Mealy/Pangare, the dilutes, mixed patterns and the white patterns. The paper includes many photographs.
From the Paper "The Classic Roan gene affects all the bases, modifiers and dilutes but can be masked by other white pattern genes. Roan is a color pattern caused by white hairs mixing with colored hairs. There are no "Roan" hairs on a Roan horse. The resulting physical colors are usually blue or rose (black base and chestnut base) but less common colors are pale gold and almost white. The Roan gene however will usually not affect the points."
Abstract The paper discusses the common ideas among Color Field and Hard Edge painters including the rejection of illusion in painting, utilization of reduced forms and concern with contemporaries working too closely with European movements. The paper describes the methods and styles of painters such as Newman, Rothko, Frankenthaler, Olitski, Gottlieb, Louis and Noland and shows how although they were diverse in method and concept, they all shared similar ideas. The paper includes color images.
From the Paper "Within the New York School during the 1940s and 1950s, artists were developing individual styles which culminated to forge the first completely unique American movements.
"Attempts to categorize these artists inherently results in a paradoxical situation because of their strong individuality and differing ideas about art. Yet among the contradicting viewpoints, these American born artists are grouped together in the movements of Color Field and Hard Edge painting. Shared ideas among these artists include rejection of illusion in painting, utilization of reduced forms, and concern with contemporaries working too closely with European movements."

Abstract This paper details Hammurabi's Code and how it covers many of the ills Mesopotamian society faced in the 17th Century BC. It gives several examples of his laws and quotes them and then analyzes and explains them. It details the historical and social situation in Mesopotamia at the time.
From the Paper "When interpreting Hammurabi's Code, one must do so with the full conviction that these laws were created as a response to actions that were taking place in everyday Mesopotamian society. While Hammurabi's Code was not the first set of laws, his organization and interpretation of previous laws covers many of the ills Mesopotamian society faced in the 17th Century BC. For example, Hammurabi's law number 53 says "If any one be too lazy to keep his dam in proper condition, and does not so keep it; if then the dam break and all the fields be flooded, then shall he in whose dam the break occurred be sold for money, and the money shall replace the corn which he has caused to be ruined" (King). From that it can be assumed that there was a problem in Mesopotamian society with abandoned or poorly maintained irrigation ducts. However, to truly gain an understanding of Mesopotamia in the 17th Century BC, one should take a closer look at the penalties rather than the laws themselves."
