Abstract
In this article, the writer points out that in order to be fully aware of what type of panel is being addressed by this study, various types of panels must be examined and understood. The writer notes that there are various types of panels that are more significant to the discussion than others, and some types of panels also have more information written about them. The writer maintains that because of this, there are panels discussed that have more information about them than other panels, but every effort is made to ensure that each type of panel has enough information collected about it to ensure that the reader has a clear understanding of the type of panel and the important information that surrounds each one. Diagrams and figures are also provided where they are available to help with the understanding of the different types of panels that are discussed.

From the Paper
"One way stiffened core panels must also be addressed as a type of panel that is important to discuss within the confines of this particular review of the literature. These panels are significant for many different types of applications, as are all of the panels that are being discussed within this review of the literature. Two way stiffened core panels will also be addressed in the next section. The subsections below, however, will address the different types of one way stiffened core panels, including Z-core, C-core, Trussed Core, and Zig Zag Core panels.
While one way stiffened core panels are important to address, it is also necessary to ensure that the different types of these panels are examined, because they all work differently and are created differently (Gdoutos, Daniel, Wang & Abot, 2001). This indicates that, while they all may work well, some of them will work better for specific types of applications, and it is necessary to be aware of what types of applications are the best choices for each particular panel."

Abstract
The paper describes an experiment that involved the issue of Free Entry and Exit (or perfect competition) and illustrated this using an example of agricultural good. The paper outlines the game, and analyzes the results to see how the theory is demonstrated through the game and how a public good is determined and measured. The paper relates that the game is played with a deck of cards, divided into red and black as the colors of importance to the experiment.

From the Paper
"The process leading to long-term equilibrium in a sector of the economy is a dynamic process operating in a multimarket setting. Equilibrium is defined as a state in which economic forces are balanced so that variables do not change. Long-term equilibrium emerges in a state of perfect competition. When companies are in a state of perfect competition, the industry will be making short term surplus (in the form of profits), and then more firms will enter the industry. Over time, the process increases the market supply of the product while reducing the market price and the profits. This continues until all firms in the industry make break even. It takes time to reach this state, and the state can be upset by a change..."

devices, wireless communications systems.
Conclusion

From the Paper
"Determined to eclipse the appointments of earlier Atlantic steam liners, White Star Lines set out in 1908 to build 3 ships, all of the same design, that would provide the company with a weekly east- and west- bound carrier service. These ships, the Olympic, the Titanic, and the Gigantic (later to become the Brittanic), were to have a passenger and cargo capacity which doubled that of the Cunard Line, White Star's main competitor in North Atlantic crossings. They were to be longer than Cunard's Lusitania and Mauretania by over 120 feet each, and heavier than those vessels by at least 12,000 tons."

Abstract
This paper defines telepathy as the direct transference of thought from one person (sender or agent) to another (receiver or percipient) without using the usual sensory channels of communication, hence a form of extrasensory perception (ESP). The author points out that, while the existence of telepathy has not yet been proved, some parapsychological research studies have produced favorable results using such techniques as card-guessing with a special deck of five sets of five cards. The paper relates in detail that Thomas Aquinas in the 13th century, a theologian and philosopher, was able to determine why human beings are not telepathic.

From the Paper
"Most often telepathy takes place in a person's mind when there is some kind of crisis or in situations where a relative or friend may have been injured or killed in an accident. At times, some people can see signs and become aware of the danger that may be posed at another person from a distance. However, information of this kind does not come in direct streams but in small broken or discontinuous thought fragments to tell us that something is wrong through our dreams, visions, hallucinations, mental images, in clairaudience, or simply in small hints that arise into the mind."

Abstract
This paper explains the various techniques used by aircraft accident investigating teams today. The writer explains the technical terms for the layman, which include accident scene photography, metallurgy, fluid analysis of fuels and oils, fire investigation in flight or on the ground occurrence, human factors, flight deck design, appropriate degree of automation, automatic overwing exit, human forensics and pathology, and flight data recorders.

From the Paper
"Aviation accident and incidents are extremely painful and expensive for the aviation industry. This is why the aviation industry has investigative engineers who hold the responsibility of investigating accidents by reviewing and identifying the primary cause of the accident, whether it was related to aircraft performance such as, aerodynamics, engines, electrics, hydraulics, or if it was environmental or simply human error.
Investigating aircraft accidents can be extremely complex, sometimes taking many months to figure out the cause of the whole accident. So for the purpose of this task, there are engineers who often collaborate to work in teams in conducting the investigations. Primarily they are solely responsible licensed Professional Engineers, hired by the FAA Air Transport."

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that 'Sir Gawain and the Green Knight' is a mysterious and complex tale that is filled with symbolism that can at times have contradictory meanings, leaving the reader to discover the true meaning behind the tale. The writer notes that the strange knight decked from head to toe in green enters the story with no explanation and leads Gawain on a journey that could be seen as a ritual, religious allegory, or simply an adventure. The religious, ethical and mythical dimensions leave the reader with unanswered questions on the poet's primary intention. The writer discusses that the tale contains within it various themes that include the idea of chivalry, religion, mythology and folklore and even feminism. The writer concludes that although the story was perhaps simply meant to be entertainment, it cannot be denied that Gawain's test was based on the Christian code of morality and the story truly represents a time when chivalry was fading and the importance lied in Christianity, rather than in bravery and brotherhood.

From the Paper
"The end of chivalry was apparent in the story and there appears to be a greater emphasis on religious virtues at the expense of chivalry. The codes of chivalry derive from the Christian concept of morality and thus the story being a test of chivalric values is also a test of Christian ones as well.
"Was this perhaps a way for the poet to teach aspects of Christianity? Possibly the poet wished to write a Christian poem glorifying Christian values and teaching readers a lesson in virtue. Sir Gawain and the Green Knight is filled with Christian symbolism and being that piety, as well as chastity, were chivalric virtues; knights of the chivalric code had certain religious obligations."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the block-busting move "Titanic" by James Cameron. It acknowledges that the movie was predominantly a love story, but it also had very strong socio-economic under currents. The paper provides an analysis of these dynamics.

From the paper:

"In 1997, Titanic set sail again, this time into movie theaters under the command of writer and director James Cameron. With the exception of a few small poetic licenses, Cameron accurately depicts the historical events leading up to the sinking of Titanic. The main plot of his movie, though, is not about the sinking of the ship per se. Rather, it is about the doomed love affair between two fictional characters, first-class passenger Rose DeWitt Bukater and steerage passenger Jack Dawson. Complicating the story is Rose?s jealous fiance?, millionaire Caledon (?Cal?) Hockley, and Rose?s genteelly impoverished mother, Ruth. Aside from any dramatic appeal, Cameron?s Titanic is interesting from a number of sociological perspectives. It illustrates social classes, status inconsistencies, and social structures. It presents a vivid ?conflict?-based view of the way the different classes relate to one another. And finally, it offers a look at bureaucracy and at the dangers of groupthink."
