Abstract
This paper examines how training is an important process for employees, as well as a tool for fulfilling strategic goals and objectives. It looks at the major components of employee training, including the definition of training, importance of training, training program design, needs assessment, legal considerations and program development. It also discusses how more research is needed in the field to ensure that training continually meets the needs of companies, especially during times of technological growth and development.

"Presentation methods are those in which trainees are passive recipients of information. This information may include facts, information, processes, and problem-solving ideas. The two major presentation methods are lectures and audiovisual techniques. A lecture involves communication through spoken words. Major advantages of the lecture method are that it is inexpensive, doesn't consume very much time, and is effective in large groups of trainees. There are several variations to the lecture method. The standard lecture involves the trainer talking while employees listen. Team teaching involves two or more trainers presenting different topics or different views on the same topic. Guest speakers visit the session for a set time period and conduct the primary training. Panels involve two or more speakers presenting information and asking questions. "

Abstract
This paper reviews reusable software components. According to the paper, reusable software components provide methods and techniques for structuring applications which are similar parts that share a characteristic element that can be utilized in creating more than one program or system in building different software applications. In other words, reusable software components encapsulates functionality where multiple occurrences of the components are usable at the same time while modifying it to fit a present application.

Characteristics of Reusable Software Components
Benefits of Reusable Software Components

Design for Reuse
Component Based Development

From the Paper
"Components are software modules that facilitates binary reuse, and their primary characteristic is that they can be "plugged in" together to build applications, that is, without the need for recompilation (Frakes, 1995). Component based development uses a data exchange model, tools, structured storage, and an underlying object model to construct applications from pre-existing components.
Some of the reusable components are developed in-house, and others may belong to libraries or toolkit. For an instance, a reusable software components uses interchangeable parts from other industries for software construction like communicating objects is embedding a spreadsheet within a word processor document, and a chart program within the spreadsheet; a single button in a graphical user interface, a small interest calculator, an interface to a database manager."

Abstract
The paper discusses how the film "A Beautiful Mind," a rough memoir of the late scientist John Nash, integrates many finely tuned cinematic elements to mirror the mental state of the protagonist and the naturalism required to maintain the film's truthfulness in it's story. Specifically focusing on scene 16, "Delusions" the paper analyzes the performance, direction, cinematography, art direction and music to support the theory that these elements do highlight and expand upon John Nash (played by Russell Crowe)'s mental state and our acceptance of his state as a real ailment.

Abstract
This paper relates the importance and need for in-store security at sporting goods stores, not only to prevent customer and employee thefts, but also for secure transactions for online sales as well. The author uses Bass Pro Shop Inc, a retail sporting goods store as an example and provides a review of the relevant peer-reviewed, scholarly and online organizational resources to identify, detail, and outline security components that will, can, and are currently being used in a Bass Pro Shop outlet, with both catalog and on-line sales.

From the Paper
"Today, many Americans are becoming increasingly obese as a result of hanges in lifestyle that have contributed to more sedentary habits at work and play. These trends make the continuing success of sporting goods companies such as Bass Pro Shops all the more intriguing and worthy of study. One of the biggest challenges facing such retail growth industries is the need for in-store security to prevent customer and employee theft, as well as to ensure secure transactions for their online catalog sales. This paper provides a review of the relevant peer-reviewed, scholarly and online organizational resources to identify, detail, and outline security components that will, can, and are currently being used in a retail sporting goods store, a Bass Pro Shop outlet, with both catalog and on-line sales. A summary of the research and important findings are presented in the conclusion."

Abstract
This paper explores and defines the basic components of Structural Family Therapy according to Salvador Minuchin, author of "Families and Family Therapy". Literary reviews and critiques of Minuchin's book and model for family therapy are also discussed.

From the Paper
"Times have changed, for the good, in the view Minuchin expresses in Psychology Today (Minuchin, 1993). He saw a sign that Americans are no longer stigmatized by "family therapy" through the election of the Bill Clinton / Al Gore administration in 1992. ?At the Democratic Convention, Vice President Gore said that his family was in family therapy without fear or concern that such a statement reflects a deficit, that something is missing.? Of course, the Clinton Administration's scandals made better headlines and fodder for gossip than the positive things accomplished in those years, and yet Minuchin was correct in saying that barriers and stigmas regarding "family therapy" have been broken down, and that, along with the proven family solutions found within SFT, is a very good thing."

Abstract
This paper reviews the research methodology of a study described in an article from the "American Journal of Psychology" by Ronald T.Kellogg, 'Working Memory Components in Written Sentence Generation. The paper explains that Kellogg designed his study to evaluate if planning conceptual representations and linguistically encoding them into words and sentences depends on working memory. The paper explains the two phases of the project, which concluded that a heavy load on working memory impacted students' sentence generation skills. The paper then describes a second study that will be modeled after Kellogg's study and will look at how a heavy load" on working memory impacted students' mathematical skills.

From the Paper
"After the 10 trials, students will be given a visual memory trial on their screen just prior to the mathematical task. As Kellogg previously discerned that a six-digit memory task was considered a "heavy load," students will be asked to remember a series of six digits. They will have 7 seconds to memorize the digits, before the mathematical trials will begin. Students will complete the mathematical trials, after which they will see a series of six dots. Students will type the digits from the memory trial, replacing each of the dots."

Abstract
This paper is a written summary, including a discussion of the article ?Component Probability and Component Reinforcer Rate as Biasers of Free ? Operant Detection? by Michael Davison, Diane McCarthy, and Chris Jensen. The paper outlines the article, which is a series of experiments relating to behavior analysis in general, specifically the matching law and signal detection theory. The paper presents and summarizes the series of experiments designed by McCarthy et al., including all observations, results, and conclusions.

From the Paper
"This series of experiments was designed to test the applicability of the signal - detection model of Davison and Tustin (1978) in free operant detection under two biasing manipulations. The first was variation of component frequency (The probability of presenting S1, a bright light, over S2, a dim light), which was varied in experiments 1a and 2a. The second manipulation was variation of the within-component reinforcer rates (reinforcement schedules one each key) in experiments 1b and 2b. Each variable was varied while holding the others constant."
