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."

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
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.

Summary and Conclusion

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."

Abstract
This paper explains the importance of knowing how to write well and how to revise and edit well. The paper describes the difficulties most students face when they are asked to revise a paper they have written and why separating the writer's ego from the revision process is a prerequisite to good editing skills. The paper also looks at current methods for teaching revision and editing skills and suggests alternatives to these methods. Finally, two case studies are discussed in the paper.

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."

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.

From the Paper
""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
This paper discusses Edgar Allan Poe's philosophies about structure and narrative for poetry and short stories, based on his essay "The Philosophy of Composition." Two poems and two short stories are used as examples of Poe's various methodologies for writing compelling and string literary works, including "The Raven," "Annabel Lee," "The Cask of Amontillado," and "The Tell-Tale Heart."

From the Paper
"In Edgar Allen Poe's essay, "The Philosophy of Composition," published in 1850, the author described the purposes of and methods needed to construct both poetry and prose writing. Poe preferred an approach to writing that borders on the mathematical, relying on a precise and orderly routine through which he composed his works. He insisted that all good writing begin with the idea of the dAfA(c)nouement, or climax, of the work, in order to construct the rest of the poem or story around this moment (259). He then layered multiple language and plot devices on this climax, moving backwards to the start of the composition. For Poe, the rationale behind..."

Abstract
This paper presents a proposal of a first year English composition curriculum. The paper discusses what is necessary for students to master in their first year English courses. The paper explains the importance of a good basis in first year English composition, highlighting the tools that will help the student write successful academic papers over the course of their university studies.

From the Paper
"The first semester of English Composition should prepare the student to be successful academic writers for the rest of their university courses. Along the way, the student will learn the specific writing norms of his or her chosen discipline. After graduation, the student will learn even more subtleties in graduate school. Once in the workplace, organizations have their own norms as well. The objectives, goals, and purpose of a first-year English composition course must prepare the student to understand the structure of an academic essay and apply the grammar rules, distinguish the logical fallacies in an argument, and to be able to read a book critically."

Abstract
This essay examines how the composition of a group, whether for therapeutic or business reasons, affects the outcomes and group goals that can eventuate. The essay contends that group composition needs to be both homogeneous and heterogeneous enough to allow for group processes to occur, i.e. group stages, for the group dynamic to progress and group goals to be achieved.

From the Paper
"While it is true that a group is made up of individuals, and without those individuals there would be no group, it is quite impossible to judge the "sort of group" that will eventuate from merely examining the "sorts of people" that constitute it. Doing so would be like "explain[ing] the shifting pattern of a kaleidoscope by taking the tube to pieces and listing the fragments found inside" (Thompson and Kahn, 1970: 12). Systems theorists have long posited, in opposition to individual psychological explanations of group behavior, that when individuals "merge into a group" something new is created" (Lewin, 1951: 57). This new entity, although comprised of individuals, is believed to be "greater than the sum of its parts" and thus the dynamic that is created within the group is not directly attributed to any one individual but rather the unique interrelationship between those individuals and the force that this interrelationship has on group functioning."

Abstract
Kuroda Seiki (1866-1924) from Japan and Claude Monet (1840 -1926) from France are examples of artists who shared an urge for creative discovery. Both artists painted what are considered to be impressive and revolutionary paintings. In their paintings, they instilled new ways of representing reality through composition. This essay will examine Kuroda Seiki's "Withered Field (Grez)" and Claude Monet's "Waterloo Bridge, Grey Day" in order to show the similarity of their respective methods, a similarity that was radical in its time because it broke with the accepted methods of composition and attempted to reinvent the nature of artist experience and representation.

Abstract
In this paper the author takes an in-depth look at Ethanol. The author makes mention of the different ways that it can be produced, its various characteristics, chemical composition and uses. The paper concludes with various arguments as to why ethanol has so many benefits and is so useful and argues why it may well be the ?fuel of the future?.

From the paper:

?Ethanol (ethyl alcohol, grain alcohol) is a clear, colorless liquid with a characteristic, agreeable odor. In dilute aqueous solution, it has a somewhat sweet flavor, but in more concentrated solutions it has a burning taste. Ethanol, CH3CH2OH, is an alcohol, a group of chemical compounds whose molecules contain a hydroxyl group, ? OH ? bonded to a carbon atom.?
