Abstract
This paper details a brief history of boron composites from its earliest applications to recent developments. It studies the application of boron in composite epoxies and fibers and the use of these materials in airframe manufacturing. It includes figures showing usage of Boron composite. It concludes that boron has been very successful in aircraft manufacturing if the costs can be brought down.

From the Paper
"Compounds of boron, most notably from unfinished borax ore, known as Tincal, were exported from Tibet in olden times. Historically, boron has been used for refining gold and silver in Arabia, ceramic glazes in China, and embalming in Egypt.

"Boric acid, a mild antiseptic, was isolated in the laboratory by chemistry professor William Homberg in 1720. Sir Humphrey Davy, a British chemist, and two French chemists, Joseph Gay-Lussac and Baron Louis Thnard, discovered the element, boron, in 1808 concurrently. However, it took another 155 years before science turned its focus from borax to boron, and began to reveal the secrets of this mysterious and valuable element."

Abstract
In this paper the author looks at the painting, "Composition with Red Yellow and Blue" c. 1922 by Piet Mondrian and attempts to bring a sense of purpose to the painting and instill the reader with a sense of appreciation for the message that Mondrian imparts through his art. He concludes by examining the September 11th attacks in relation to Mondrain's art and contends that Mondrain would have regarded it as surreal.

From the paper:

"Mondrian believed that artistic expression should be found in the abstraction of form and color and that his use of vertical and horizontal lines would express the perfect harmony between these two extremes."

Abstract
The paper offers a hypothesis on the percentage composition by mass of magnesium oxide and outlines the materials and procedure used in the experiment to test the hypothesis as well as the observations found. The paper then lists the calculations that determined the percent composition by mass of magnesium oxide is 35% oxygen and 65% magnesium. The paper includes a discussion on the results obtained.

From the Paper
"The percentage composition is essentially how much of one element is contained within a single compound. The law of definite proportions states that a specific compound will always have the same elements within it by definite proportions of mass [ref 1]. If this law is determined to be true, then that would mean that the percentage composition of any given substance should be the same throughout multiple samples. The magnesium strip of metal is polished with steel wool to remove any contaminants that are on the strip. The contaminants on the strip of metal could come from the natural state of the air, the container they were in, or anything that has come in contact with the magnesium. When magnesium is combusted (burned) it produces a white-powdery substance that is also known as magnesium oxide."

Abstract
The following paper is a brief summation, an annotated bibliography, of five scholarly articles that deal with the factors impacting bacterial compositions in lake and other water reservoirs. The paper notes how some phytoplankton appear much more resilient than others and respond surprisingly well to things like acidification or to increased temperature.

""Effects of PH on Algae Community Composition Brettum, Pal. (1996). Changes in the volume and composition of phyto-plankton after experimental acidification of a humic lake." Environment International, 22(5): 619-628. The above study looked at the effects of experimental acidification on the phyto-plankton volume and composition in Lake Skjervatjern in Norway. In Basin A, the acidified basin, there were marked changes in the phyto-plankton composition and in the percentage of the main algae groups in the years 1991-92. Specifically, the percentage of green algae decreased - especially a species called Oocystis submarina v. variabilis -..."

Abstract
Analysis of book based on therapy sessions of a fictitious family (a composite of real cases). Napier gives an account of these sessions together with his family therapy theory and practice. The therapeutic process. Therapy construction used. Basic patterns and problems of clients. Contends book presents an excellent example of the therapist's reasoning and practice.

From the Paper
""The Family Crucible" (1988) is Augustus Napier's artfully written account of the course of therapy undertaken by the Brice family and conducted by the author and his former teacher Carl Whitaker. With the narrative flair of a novelist Napier immediately gets the reader caught up in the problems of the fictionalized family; a composite consisting of one main case history supplemented by details and incidents from the cases of other families that Napier and Whitaker had helped. In a number of chapters the account of the Brice's sessions is supplemented by general discussions of the theory and practice of family therapy. Other cases are briefly introduced as examples but, for the most part, Napier uses aspects of the Brices' therapy to illustrate his points. These discussions are designed to address issues that may have arisen for the reader in the preceding..."

Abstract
This paper discusses the 4 generation family composite, and assesses how the student's focus on their family made a difference relative to their perceptions of their family, themselves and their work as a future social worker.

From the Paper
"However, as current literature will evidence, there are many beneficial reasons for constructing the genogram; not just constructing graphic representation, but actually looking at family members, their medical histories, their spiritual belief systems and their cultural heritage. Not only does this in-depth view provide often interesting and useful information, often times vital, but it helps family members of current generations understand why certain individuals may behave a certain way."

Abstract
Stratovolcanoes, so called because they are formed by alternating layers, or strata, of lava flows, volcanic ash, cinders, blocks, and bombs, are composite volcanoes. Some prominent examples of stratovolcanoes include Mount Fuji in Japan, Mount Cotopaxi in Ecuador, Mount Shasta in California, Mount Hood in Oregon, Mount St. Helen and Mount Rainier, both in Washington State. This paper provides an overview of these geographic forms, including the different shapes the found in and their physical make-up. The paper also looks at what happens when a stratovolcano erupts.

From the Paper
"Lava flows either through breaks in the crater wall or from fissures on the sides of the cone, and lava which solidifies within the fissures forms ribs, or dikes, which greatly strengthen the volcano's walls. If a stratovolcano remains dormant for a long period, the cone is destroyed by erosion, hardened magma fills the conduits, and fissures filled with magma become exposed. After a prolonged period of dormancy, all that remains is the plug and dike complex."

Abstract
This paper explains that the Beatles affected every aspect of society worldwide and changed the entire music industry in the recording studio, in songwriting habits and standards, in the use of instruments and sound effects and in their manner and their dress. The author points out that, nearly fifty years later, the sound of the Beatles is still not only a desirable sound but also is purchased over and over again by generation after generation attesting to the timeless appeal of this revolutionary group of the sixties. The paper relates that, compared to the other musical artists of the day, the sound of the Beatles was a sound, which contained more depth, more dimensions and created a whole new standard in music, shredding the norms and shaking up the entire industry worldwide.

From the Paper
"It is astoundingly and incredibly amazing in comprehension that a group of young men from England singing a few tunes in nondescript attire of suits and ties would change the entire music industry in the timeframe of just a few years and still be affecting the music world and industry nearing fifty years later. The stamina and popularity of the Beatles as well as their music has not faded even today and all predictions are that their music and legacy will live on for quite some time to come."

From the Paper
"The eager freshman English writer comes to the process of composition with many pre-conceived, previously successful methods for editing a first draft. A favorite teacher's well-intentioned message, a parent's unskilled assessment, or the student's own perceptions can stymie the editorial and revision process."
