Abstract
This in-depth paper explores the architecture of Japan from ancient times to the present day which has changed drastically. The writer discusses how Buddhism as a religion entered Japan and brought with it the architectural influences of the Chinese and Korean cultures which Japan adopted and made its own. While these historical monuments still remain and are cherished this form and material of their creation are no longer used. This paper examines the architectural artistry in Japan which is described as a dynamic art form that reflects the society and era in which it was introduced. Topics covered in this report include: Thesis Statement Abstract Influences Background Analysis Conclusion Thesis Support References

From the Paper
"Under the influence of the West, modern Japanese architecture has come to regard rigid, steel-frame concrete-stiffened construction as the exemplar. Not only is the idea of balancing poles quite alien to this rigid style of construction, but, more fundamentally, this tradition, which regards a building as semi-permanent and therefore fixed and immutable, simply cannot accommodate the notion of a structure that moves about. Symbolically it is possible to present that the hanging pillar represents the final stage in the evolution of the shinbashira as a religious symbol. If the anchored pillar is seen as representing the gods dwelling within the earth and the pillar on a stone base as representing the gods on the earth, the suspended pillar may be taken to represent the gods of the skies."

"Teenagers and late preteens, who tend to view the world from a more simplistic perspective, generally see and understand things in a black and white format. Consequently, during the psychological and hormonal changes that are so prevalent during this age group, a change of perception brings about the realization that there may be more depth to the world than previously believed. This shift in perception can, therefore, bring about confusion and anger, specifically when children may not have the guidance and positive influence that is so much needed during this difficult transition period. If this aggression and confusion has no valid outlet, it can stem into a range of psychological disorders, including sometimes-violent outbursts and depression."

Abstract
The paper explores the possible causes of the decline in the honeybee population and looks at studies on the effects of genetically modified plants, monocultures, toxic pesticides and Varroa mites that, the paper finds, do not explain the sudden and worldwide decline in the population of honeybees. The paper finds that research conducted nearly six decades ago has shown the serious effects of electromagnetic frequencies upon the animal and human population and has revealed the likely cause of this problem. The author of this paper wonders why this has not been openly addressed and why more research has not been conducted in this area. A figure is included in the paper.

From the Paper
"The truth is that studies as far back as the 1970s have shown the effects of electromagnetic frequencies upon the animal and human population with findings stating that there was an increase in childhood leukemia in homes located close to high frequency powerlines as well as reports showing the negative affects of high frequency electromagnetic devices and tower upon the bird and bee population. In 1985 it was reported that honeybees were shown to be sensitive to "magnetic flux differences of 1 nanotesla (10microGauss)." (Sepp Hasselberger, 2009)
"Stated to be one of the primary problems is that radiations from mobile phones which have changed from analog to digital means that these are pulsed at approximately 220 packets per second and that this frequency is real close to the native frequency of the bees hum ranging in from 190 to 250 cycles per second. (Sepp Hasselberger, 2009)"

Abstract
This paper examines how, due to the increased danger of explosions and the growing number of terrorist threats, several investigative measures are undertaken at crime scenes, along with procedures that enhance the work of law enforcement specialists and legal practitioners, in order to reach a definite improvement in identification, collection, and analysis of bombing scenes. The paper further looks at how these efforts are united and how they are significant as they present effective informative tools of bomb scene investigation, focused solely on achieving positive outcomes.

From the Paper
"Bomb and explosives threats present prolonged dangers since the global terrorist networks acquired unexpected huge sizes. Daily news reveals alarming facts and details about occurred bombings around the world, especially in turbulent regions as the Middle East. Therefore, effective responding to such issues is a priority of bomb detection and investigation squads. They unite their efforts, professionalism, and proved skills, in the hard, non-fading fight against the phenomenon caused huge negative consequences to humanity: terrorism. This uneasy task implies complex problems to be solved at different stages, and relevant bomb investigation with all required procedures completed is one of the facets of the issue."

Abstract
This paper discusses how network security is something that top management, IT professionals, and end users need to be aware of. It discusses how all three groups look at this issue from different perspectives but each perspective is importantant to implementing a safe secure network for a business. The paper shows that, by providing anti-virus programs for home users, implementing appropriate network usage procedures, and providing proper training and education, companies can limit the amount of malicious infections that infiltrate their systems.

"In order to be more productive, many employees have started to take work home with them. Removable media devices can hold large volumes of data, and reduced prices have made devices such as USB tokens and MP3 players affordable to all (Executive Summary). The ease and convenience of massive storage devices has enabled users to transport massive amounts of data to and from the comfort of the user's home. Unfortunately, many users do not have the security devices installed on their personal computer that the company has on its network. Because they do not have basic antivirus protection, they are susceptible to infection (Vamosi, 2004). If an employee's home computer is infected with a virus it can easily be transferred to files downloaded to and from a USB token without the user's knowledge. "

Abstract
The following paper discusses the Japanese economic trends from the era of the rising sun from the postwar recovery of the 1950s to the mid 1970s and finally to the 90's. The author discusses what factors caused the era of the rising sun, namely international, cultural, political, and examines how this trend was based on an economic structure that was influenced but fundamentally different from American capitalism. In addition this paper retraces Japan's fall from glory to find many of the same factors of growth that lead it to its earlier success.

From the Paper
" When the Asian Crisis struck, many economists dismissed the earlier vision of the Japanese miracle as a stroke of luck, and rejected the same factors they had extolled during its growth, denouncing the Japanese economic system as fundamentally dysfunctional and declaring victory of the superior American capitalism. Studying the Japanese system provides many lessons that the American system can emulate or remember to avoid as well. Japan's group collectivism and state-assisted, relationship-based capitalism helped Japan expand rapidly, and has much to offer. However, it also made the system very inflexible, unable to adjust itself to the constantly changing economic circumstances; in the long term, after the growth stopped, the economy suffered because of the system's harmful consequences."

Abstract
The paper shows that defining the relationship that exists between political power and international relations is a task that draws its conclusion upon a very fine line. While both of these entities have direct association with each other, they also possess their own particular arrangement within the wide and varied scheme of bureaucratic function. The paper discusses how a strong nation needs the combination of power and government in order to enact any level of global politics; however, there does not necessarily have to be any sort of democratic considerations by which to reach that objective. The paper explains how this specific point speaks directly to the concept of distorted power and its relationship to the history of terrorism, a deceptive and coercive political ideology that impacts every sector of an otherwise civilized global society.

From the Paper
"The foremost aspect of war is that of force; if the element of force did not exist, there would be no motivation for battle. With this in mind, it is relatively easy to understand the notion of terrorism, inasmuch as the ultimate goal of any terrorist is to obtain the desired commodity through drastic and often deadly means of force. By understanding this obvious correlation, one can effectively argue that without the support of force on their side -- political, economic or cultural -- terrorists would not have the ability to pursue their violent protests. Part of the problem is that terrorist activity demands to be noticed, a fact that ultimately constitutes the need for force; however, if the terrorist is not acknowledged, this may lead to the need for even greater force in order to draw attention to the demands. And the incessant cycle continues."

Abstract
This paper explains that one of the biggest problems resulting from China's huge population is a shortage of food and water, which is blamed partly on the country's geography--only one-tenth of the land--most of it a 1,000 mile-wide strip along the eastern and southern coasts--is cultivable--and water scarcity from an extensive diversion of irrigation water to non-farm uses. The author points out that indoor air pollution, mainly from coal and other organic fuels used for cooking, acid rain, water pollution, extensive air pollutant, an acute housing shortage, destruction of forest resources and inadequate sanitation are problems, which are created and acerbated by China's overpopulation. The paper questions the ethicacy of China's attempt to control its problems by state advocated birth control, which includes an infamous one-child policy in which women with two or more children, but not men, still almost always are sterilized.

From the Paper
"In contrast, city families live in small apartments above the stores or behind workshops. These people have the same kinds of stoves as rural families, and many older buildings have electricity and plumbing. However, most families who live in these buildings must share sinks, washbasins, and toilets with many others. Finally, many boatmen, fishermen, and dockworkers live on boats. Every harbor and riverfront in China is jammed with barges and other small craft that serve as homes for entire families. Also, China's forest resources are rapidly dwindling due to over-exploitation of land resources, which is a direct result of overpopulation. The situation will surely worsen if this trend is not reversed, and the ultimate result will be a decline of basic living conditions in these areas."
