From the Paper
"The internet has made so many sites and processes available to the average person that home DNA testing may actually be a reality in the near future. But, this plethora of information is actually a bit overwhelming and therefore confusing. Results obtained on one site may not necessarily agree with the results of another site which obviously leads amateur Genomics practitioners such as my self to begin to doubt returned results and thus require professional confirmation. The key is that DNA Sequencing and interpretation will alter mankind's ability to identify 'medicine less' cures and maybe even lead to the creation of completely altered super humans. "Initiation of DNA replication holds the clue to what controls cell division and hence growth and differentiation." (Adams, 1991) "

Abstract
This paper offers an in-depth examination of the Human Genome Project. The paper first studies who the project came about, its leadership, funding and oversight procedures. Then the paper discusses how quality control is maintained and how information is shared and disseminated.

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses the Swedish massage. The writer maintains that this type of massage, that was developed at the end of the 19th Century by Mr. Ling, is a scientific system of manipulations on the muscles and connective tissue of the body. The writer explains that the purpose of the Swedish massage is to provide relaxation, rehabilitation and health maintenance by improving circulation and range of motion. There are five techniques or basic strokes that are utilized in the Swedish massage. The writer describes that these techniques are effleurage, petrissage, friction, tapotement and vibration.

Abstract
This paper examines how the opening section of the "Aeneid" sets out the themes and style of the epic, which continue through all twelve books. It looks at how Virgil introduces his themes and characters in this section with great skill, emphasising certain elements of his epic and subtly insinuating others. It explores how there are also many elements in the opening of Book I that signal the importance of the "Aeneid"'s context and the need for Virgil to satisfy his patron Augustus.

From the Paper
"Virgil's mention of the hatred of Juno has more significance attached. Throughout the poem, Aeneas is tested and tortured by the ira Iunonis, and his pietas is set against the manifestations of furor in the various characters. Hence Virgil introduces these opposites in this section, with Juno's mad anger causing a terrible storm, showing the destructive force of furor and its power to overthrow natural order. The other element, which balances out the furor in the poem, is the serenitas of Jupiter and Neptune, displayed in Neptune's calming of the storm and subsequent trip across the sea under a "caelo... aperto" (I.155)."

Abstract
In this paper, a connection is drawn between Shakespeare's Sonnets 57 and 58, which are one of a number of thematic pairs that occur within the larger sequence of poems, to show that the Sonnets not only function as a pair, but that the order in which they occur in the Quarto of 1609 is essential to their meaning.

From the Paper
"Shakespeare's Sonnets 57 and 58 are one of a number of thematic pairs or small groups that occur within the larger sequence and subsequences of poems. Indeed the similarity between them is significant enough that one might wonder on first reading if one does not render the other redundant. But close reading of the poems shows that they not only function as a pair but that the order in which they occur in the Quarto of 1609 is essential to their meaning."

Abstract
This paper examines how George Romero's "Night of the Living Dead" (1968) is not only the single-most influential zombie movie of all time, it is also reputed to be one of the first movies to employee color-blind casting. In particular, it looks at how, though the entire movie was revolutionary for its time and genre, the final sequence in which the final main character (the black lead, Ben) is mistaken for a zombie and killed by his long-awaited rescuers is shocking and challenging even to modern film-goers. The sequence analyzed for five characteristics, including the plot significance of this segment, the implications of the sequence for the genre, the use of film technique to build and guide the horror, the use of coloration and lighting for narrative purposes, and the various additional methods of manipulating audience sympathies and responses.

From the Paper
"The plot of Night of the Living Dead is relatively straightforward. For some unknown reason, perhaps due to radiation from space, the dead are coming back to life animated by the desire to devour flesh. There are six significant living characters trapped in a single house, which belongs to none of them. The lead female Barbara, has come there fleeing from the zombies who ate her brother in a cemetery -- in the end her brother is the one who eats her, as she hesitates to run from him. Ben, the lead male who survives to the end, has come there after a series of misadventures on the road, and has learned a great deal about dealing with the zombies."

Abstract
This paper explains that, in Martin Scorsese's "Raging Bull", Jake La Motta (Robert DeNiro) is constantly at odds with himself and with the people around him. The author points out Scorsese's use of the formal elements of film making to convey the visceral nature of what it is like to be in the ring and even to be one of the fighters during a fight. The paper describes, scene by scene, a pivotal sequence, the second fight between Jake La Motta and Sugar Ray Robinson, which demonstrates this visceral effect through lighting and composition for mise en scene, camera work for cinematography, editing and sound. The paper concludes that, in this sequence, Scorsese effectively plays with time, framing, light and sound to create feelings of defenselessness and power, victory and shame, during and after a pivotal and crucial fight.

From the Paper
"The first shot of the sequence begins as a handheld, high angled close-up on Sugar Ray Robinson's feet, dancing and shifting about in the ring. We hear a commentator on the stadium speakers, and the cheering crowd as La Motta's feet enter the frame. A title appears in the bottom center of the frame: "La Motta vs Sugar Ray Robinson Detroit 1943" in true 1940s television style. The camera rises (or tilts) up to reveal the back torso of La Motta and Robinson in front of him, ready to fight. Then we see a medium close-up of Robinson, over La Motta's left shoulder."

Abstract
This paper is a brief analysis of a short sequence from "The Man with a Movie Camera" (Bernard Rose, 2005). The paper focuses on the technical aspects of the sequence, such as editing, camera angles, lighting, etc.

From the Paper
"The film then cuts back to the intersection, where a few more trolleys and people pass through the frame, and then to the elevator, which once again descends and unloads its occupants. This is followed by a different shot of the intersection, still at a neutral angle, which is split vertically down the middle by a lamppost and features pedestrians crossing in between trolley cars. The people seem very relaxed moving through the smooth cycle of trolleys; man and technology exist and operate in harmony."

Abstract
This paper explains that Claude Levy-Strauss in his book "The Structural Study of Myth" breaks down myths structurally into four themes. The paper then describes the way that Strauss uses his algorithm to interpret any story through a prescribed matrix. The writer relates that she took a few stories and applied Claude Levy-Strauss' technique to them with excellent results; however, she does question the value of his specific four themes and in analyzing myths in this structural fashion.

From the Paper
"What Strauss is doing is similar in practice to what a number of the other writers that we have already covered have tried to do. It is another type of analysis in which we're taking something that's essentially abstract (myth) and trying to apply concrete algorithms to it. With that in mind, I immediately have some level of skepticism. Putting that aside for a moment though, I do see quite a bit of validity in Levy-Strauss is technique in that it does successfully manage to take abstract concepts and organize them structurally."
