Abstract
This paper attempts to provide a brief analysis of September 11, 2002 in the light of thick description. It uses a semiotic approach to cultural analysis to facilitate a better understanding of cultural differences and their impact on the world today.

From the Paper
"Since, the "cultural theory is not a master of itself, it is not heavily predictive or a mere post facto" (Geertz, p. 26) therefore the thick description vehemently opposes considering the theoretical context of the cultural similarities and dissimilarities. Thus as an ethnographer, I have applied thick description to this new interpretive political event of September 11, 2002 thereby basically focusing on the symbolic signs either dormant or apparent in the process of the review and research as well as interpretation. "The aim is to draw large conclusions from small but very densely textured texts; to support broad assertions about the role of culture in the construction of collective life" (Geertz, p. 28)."

Abstract
This paper defines the stitching technique, colorization, animal symbolism, and the historical functionality of "Panel-Fragment of a Mattress Cover." By understanding the complex usage of drop stitching and embroidering without a reverse side, the use of yellow silk was a popular color for this era. The writer also discusses that the animal symbolism on the piece was yet another commonality reflecting the theme of Mediterranean life through the heavy traffic of textile merchant trade routes that made it popular throughout the world.

Abstract
This paper describes hemocyanins, which are proteins that transport oxygen in arthropods and mollusks. The writer explains that these are copper-containing proteins and describes how the oxygen that is transported is connected with copper atoms. The paper also explains the similarities in and differences between hemocyanins in arthropods and in mollusks.

From the Paper
"Hemocyanins are copper containing proteins found in the haemolymph of many invertebrates. They are divided into two groups: arthropodan and molluscan. These have structurally similar oxygen-binding centers, which are similar to the oxygen-binding tyrosinases but their quaternary structures are arranged differently (Gaykema et al., 1988, p. 309). "Hemocyanins are respiratory proteins that carry oxygen in the blood of most mollusks, and some arthropods such as the horseshoe crab" (Gamez et al)."

Abstract
Managing human resources is a challenge in today's dynamic business environment. New approaches to traditional tasks have been implemented to help human resource professionals. This paper gives the tools to aid businesses in approaching job analysis and design, and to work to develop job descriptions which are integrated with the company's overall goals and objectives in order to increase productivity.

From the Paper
"There are typically three different methods used in job analysis: task, behavioral and ability (Milkovich & Newman, 1996, p. 78). Task data focuses on the fundamental units of work with an emphasis on the purpose of each task. Task data must be developed for each job individually since the purpose behind each task varies from job to job. Thus a programmer might "consult with engineers to determine program specifications" in a task environment, but the engineer might "consult with programmers to develop specifications". In both cases, both the purpose and the task are specific to the job and cannot be substituted."

Conclusion

From the Paper
''The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) refers to a standard classification of mental disorders employed by psychologists and counselors in the United States. The specific design of this classification allows for adequate diagnosis and intervention at various levels such as inpatient and outpatient settings, private care, primary practice, etc. According to the DSM, the main aspect of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is the continuous development of characteristic symptoms that have resulted from an extremely traumatic event a person has experienced at a particular period. Criterion A1 for the accurate diagnosis of PTSD relates to "threatened death or serious injury, or other threat to one's physical integrity; or witnessing an event that involves death, injury, or a threat to the physical integrity of another person" ("Posttraumatic Stress Disorder DSM-IV Diagnosis & Criteria," n. d., para. 1). The described criterion also may include learning about the death or serious injury of a family member or a close associate. In general, a person's response to a traumatic event is associated with uncontrolled fear, horror, and anxiety.''

Abstract
The following paper will argue that any description of cross-cultural similarities and differences is best founded on a consideration mainly of culture-specific dimensions rather than culture-general dimensions; beyond that (and just as importantly), if one wishes to be competent in cross-cultural communication and learning, a firm grasp of culture-specific dimensions is critical. With that in mind, the following paper will look at how emphasis upon culture-general dimensions can lead someone to overlooking the subtleties that distinguish various cultures. The paper will also, in the interests of fairness, highlight how knowledge of culture-general dimensions can allow someone to feel "more at home" in an alien culture - and it can humanize others in the minds of a person traveling to a new location for the first time. Lastly, the essay ends by returning to its support of culture-general communication by citing the time saved, by making it easier to distinguish the "real" commonalities between cultures, and because it makes possible more experiential opportunities.

Abstract
This paper contains information about the construction and parts of a common laser. The paper also provides a detailed description of how the laser works and discusses some of the dangers and negative aspects of lasers. The paper also covers the different uses of the laser such as leisure use, business use, and home use. Lastly, future possibilities for the laser and how it can still benefit society with uses not yet explored are discussed.

From the Paper
" Lasers are high intensity beams of light emitted from a unit consisting of a flash bulb, a ruby, and opposing mirrors. Theodore Maiman first introduced these extremely strong light beams to the world in 1960. The beam emitted by the laser is very intense and can be damaging or harmful. Although harmful, lasers are also very useful tools for a wide array of tasks. Lasers are used for everything from eye surgery to leveling a ceiling. Lasers are an innovation that has withstood the test of time with people finding new and creative uses for this spectacular invention."
