Abstract
This research paper explores the claim that celibacy within the clergy results in sexual deviation. The paper begins with an elucidation of the problem within the Catholic Church and an explanation for the propagation of celibacy in Catholic theory. It then goes on to list the three main myths associated with celibacy; namely, that Catholic priests are more likely to become pedophiles than any other group of men, that the celibate state of the priesthood leads to pedophilia and that married clergy would make pedophilia and other forms of sexual misconduct cease to exist. The paper then proceeds to explore both sides of the argument of whether a relationship between celibacy and sexual deviance exists, and in doing so, the writer brings in the opinions of various experts. The paper continues by looking at the treatment of sexual deviance by the Catholic Church and concludes by deducing that there is no connection between celibacy and sexual deviance.

From the Paper
"In today's society, the Catholic Church is confronted with two important issues regarding sexuality. The first is the scandal of sexual abuse of children by priests, which is a highly publicized issue that it damaging the reputation of the Catholic Church in the United States. The second is the question of whether priest should take a vow of celibacy and remain unmarried."

Abstract
The paper looks at the best technique in terms of proposing a system to be developed and a look at the frequency of data required for deducing that an event is occurring.

From the Paper
"Intrusion detection systems rely on input from various sources such as firewalls, myriad sensor motes, system log files, packet sniffers, simple network management protocol (SNMP) traps and queries, user profile databases system messages and operator commands. (Bass) There are additional detection devices that measure the effectiveness of the network's security solution-network scanners vulnerability, scanners, risk analysis tools and policy enforcement tools-as well as war dialers, port scanners, database scanners, traffic analysis and IT analysis tools. These sources can potentially generate a..."

Abstract
This paper describes the study of inferential statistics, which comprises the use of statistics to make judgments concerning some unknown aspect of a population. According to the paper, statistical inference is deducing information about a population having observed a random sample of that population a finite number of times. This is contrasted to the theory of probability.

From the Paper
"In essence statistical inference is deducing information about a population having observed a random sample of that population a finite number of times. On the other hand, the theory of probability is based on the idea of estimating the outcome or proportion of time that a particular event is set to happen. The idea behind probability measures, is that it is a random phenomenon. This paper will establish a fundamental relationship between statistical inference and probability theory."

Abstract
As an adherent of Greek philosopher Parmenides' teachings that plurality and change are unreal, Zeno (approximately 490 - 430 B.C.E.) set out to prove Parmenides right. His demonstrations attempted to show the absurdities of the opposite view, that the world really contains plurality and change. The paper explains Zeno's methods of taking his opponents' hypotheses and, by deducing from them contradictory consequences, reduce them to absurdity. The paper concentrates on Zeno's set of four riddles which he devised to illustrate the unreality of motion. By means of these riddles Zeno demonstrated that Pythagorean science cannot define motion without running into inconsistency or impossibility. The paper examines why these four short stories are paradoxes and explores some of the solutions put forward to resolve them.

From the Paper
"Brumbaugh says that the Pythagoreans seemed to agree that separate "points," and "moments" make up the physical world, including space and time. They thus would have defined motion as passing through a number of spatial points during a number of time moments, a definition similar to that which we have of velocity today. There was also agreement among the Pythagoreans that any continuous stretch, such as a line, could be bisected. However, the Pythagoreans did not agree on the size of the moments or points. They might have no size, or they might have a minimum, but finite, duration and extension, respectively. Furthermore, Brumbaugh suggests that the Pythagoreans did not agree on how they should think of the points making up or determining a line. Should they be thought of as points next to each other, or as points marking off segments, with spacing filling in the intervals between? (Brumbaugh, 63f)"

Abstract
This paper will discuss the nature of the serial killer in the juvenile stages of development. By understanding the sociological implications that this gives, we will seek the motives for this type of pathology in the world today. By examining the factors that can sociological show the occurrence of this type of crime, we can deduce the themes that can create it.

Abstract
This paper begins with some general comments on the attributes possessed by Spartan warriors that can be deduced from Pressfield's book. It goes on to outline the plot of the work, concentrating on the features and influence of Spartan culture. It discusses the Spartan trait of dedication, the experiences of Spartan youths in training and the Spartan mentor/student relationship. The paper concludes with a synopsis of the impression of Spartan warriors given by Pressfield's work.

From the Paper
"What constitutes a Spartan? Indeed, what characteristics are exemplary of a Spartan? According to Steven Pressfied in his work, "Gates of Fire," Spartans are synonymous with the term warrior. So much so in fact, that one is likely to find the word Spartan in the thesaurus when researching the term "warrior." In his book, Pressfield provides the reader with very detailed and accurate descriptions of the ideal Spartan, as portrayed through the eyes of a freedman, a former slave recruited into the service of Spartan warriors, an individual in awe of the intensity and fearlessness of the warriors he has encountered. One can most definitely conclude upon reading this work that Spartans were raised in a society or culture that praised fearlessness, cunning, strength and courage."

Abstract
The paper hypothesizes that Isoproterenol will increase the heart rate of a chick embryo heart, in which the chick was incubated for approximately 48 hours, when topically applied. The author of the paper shows that the reasoning for this hypothesis is that Isoproterenol acts as a sympathetic stimulant by stimulating the beta receptors found in the heart, and these kinds of stimulants (hence the name stimulant) tend to speed up actions. Especially since this chemical mimics norepinephrine's effects, I deduced that this would speed up the heart rate. An experiment was performed on 48-hour chick embryos and the results are discussed in the paper.

From the Paper
"Description: An egg was incubated for approximately 48 hours. I am approximating 48-hours based on the comparison of my embryo to pictures of the different stages. Once removed from the incubator, I made an incision around the circumference of the egg and removed the roof, exposing the interior. The embryo with all structures still attached- in situ- (yolk, egg white, etc.) was poured into a dish of saline solution. The egg remained in the same position for a couple of hours, blunt-end up, so that the embryo conveniently lay on top. The temperature of the water was measured as 32?C and the normal heart rate of the chick was recorded as 76bpm."
