This paper is a research proposal to study the treatments of erectiledysfunction (ED), the persistent inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual activity.
Abstract This paper explains that the inability to perform in a typical manner during sexual intimacies takes its toll on the emotional well being of any relationship and therefore on the quality of life of patients with erectiledysfunction (ED). The author points out that there are now many treatment options, including medications such as sildenafil (Viagra), which have shown promise of improving the lives of many, but not all, people suffering from ED. The paper states that the proposed research will compare, using both quantitative and qualitative data, three non-invasive treatment options: medication, individual therapy and relationship counseling.

From the Paper "The high rates of probability for partial or complete ED is demonstrative of the need to analyze the problem in a comprehensive manner, especially considering that there are likely many individuals in the population who are excluded for medical reasons from taking oral medications to help resolve or treat the problem of ED as it is also often likely to be associated with medical care for other, more life threatening diseases. ED can be caused by medications used to treat high blood pressure and other high risk medical diagnoses as well as by chronic medical conditions such as diabetes."
Abstract This paper examines erectiledysfunction in the older adult. It describes possible causes, treatment, and prevention. The paper presents the various medicines available for treatment of this problem and discusses their effectiveness. The paper provides great detail about the body and the possible causes of the dysfunction. This paper takes the reader through treatment options, such as medicines, exercise, and physical therapy.
From the Paper "Erectile dysfunction is commonly labeled as an age related condition in males. The disorder affects a man's ability to achieve or maintain an erection at least 25% of his attempts. Until recently men and their physicians did not discuss problems such as Erectile Dysfunction as openly as they do today. Men often experience embarrassment and a loss of confidence when struggling with ED. This emotional stress can lead to prolonged effects of the disorder leaving them in a cycle. Many diseases have now been linked to ED including heart disease, diabetes, and prostate cancer. Research is being done to dissect the physiological causes of ED including Nitric Oxide deficiency and poor circulation. New medications such as Sildenafil (Viagra), Vardenafil (Levitra), and Tadalafil (Cialis) have surfaced making treatment more accessible as well as more effective. Research and surveys are being done on chemical treatments, increased education, and the effects of new medications. Other interventions are used such as surgery and vacuum devices but the recent medications have had the most success (Well-Connected, 2002)."
Abstract This paper presents a reaearch proposal to examine whether individual therapy, group therapy, marriage counseling or medication is more effective in treating erectiledysfunction.

Data Collection
Analysis
From the Paper "Erectile dysfunction not only affects the physical aspect of relationships, but also impacts the emotional side of relationships. Erectile dysfunction affects an estimated 10 to 20 million men in America. This number may be under-reported because of the possibility that some men may not tell their physician or seek treatment for the problem out of embarrassment or other reasons (Andolsek, 1997).
Erectile dysfunction affects sexual performance as well as self-esteem for the men who have it. "
Abstract This essay examines erectiledysfunction and how it is a problem that greatly affects men and their sexual performance. This author discusses the problems and chemical and non-chemical cures associated with impotence, risk factors, and the psychological effects of erectiledysfunction. The paper includes several charts and diagrams of chemical compounds.
From the Paper "Erectile dysfunction is a problem that greatly affects men and their sexual performance. In fact, 34% of American men aged 51 to 88 experience severe erectile dysfunction and 52% of all men aged 40 to 70 experienced some degree of impotence. These numbers account for 16% of the general male population, estimating that 1 in 5 men will experience sexual dysfunction in their lifetimes, Handy. Erectile dysfunction occurs when there are erection problems, medical causes, or physiological factors associated with sexual intimacy. However, over the past several years, many pharmaceutical companies have developed both chemical products and non-chemical solutions to help fight this problem."

Abstract A research paper on ED Benguit, a type designer from New York who has redesigned computer fonts by hands to make original creations for top industry players.
Abstract This is a book report based on Bargon's novel: "Temptations of St. Ed &Brother S And The Monastic Tradition". The three elements of medieval Christian monasticism that are evident in Bergon's novel are: the temptations of the flesh, conflict within the community of monks or between monks and Church hierarchy, and the choice that must be made between service and solitude.
Abstract This paper studies the company EDS, or Electronic Data Systems, founded by Ross Perot. The paper traces the history, development, personalities connected to and controversy associated with EDS, particularly in terms of its affiliation with WorldCom. Much of the paper focuses on the company's founder and CEO Ross Perot, examining his personal gain from the company and his flamboyant -- often controversial -- leadership style. Then the paper turns to an evaluation of the damaging affect WorldCom -- known for its ethical ambiguity -- has had on EDS and attempts by the company to regain its credibility and profitability.

Conclusion
From the Paper "It is arguable that EDS' problems in the marketplace were caused more by earnings shortfalls, arguably caused by market conditions and unfortunate choices of partners, than by accounting practices. And in fact, EDS did not implode like Enron and WorldCom. It also replaced CEO Dick Brown with Michael Jordan, the retired chairman and chief executive of CBS Corp. (Feder 2003). Brown had reached a "mutual agreement," according to reports in the press. An EDS spokesman said that the company was stronger than when Brown joined it four years earlier, and that his resignation "demonstrated 'realism' and a 'willingness to take responsibility for things that were not necessarily his fault'" (Feder 2003, database). The claim that the company is stronger is cold comfort to the shareholders. IN 2003, when those optimistic statements were issued, EDS shared traded at $15.76, down from $65.91 a year before, prior to the WorldCom bankruptcy and the other factors, noted above, that contributed to the disastrous failure to reach third quarter earnings projections in 2002."

From the Paper "Muscles of the vagina, uterus, and even the rectum contract due to a sympathetic-mediated response. The clitoris is successfully stimulated through direct stimulation, and floor orgasms may result from cervical stimulation or that of the anterior vaginal wall. The fourth phase is resolution, where blood vessels, muscles, and other erotogenic organs return to their original, nonaroused states. There is a sense of general relaxation, well-being, and muscle relaxation. In males, it is believed that they are refractory to an orgasmic response for some period. In contrast, women can have multiple orgasms without going through a refractory period."

Abstract This paper takes a complete look at the professional career of advertising executive Ed McCabe and how his managerial skills influenced his successful company.
From the Paper "Ed McCabe has been part of several different advertising agencies in the course of his career and recently headed his own agency. He has had a surprising career. He landed his first agency job when he was 15 years old, joining McCann-Erickson in Chicago. He later moved to New York and wrote for Young & Rubicam, Benton & Bowles, Marschalk, and Carl Ally. In 1967 he cofounded Scale, McCabe, and Sloves (SMS). In 1974, when he was 35, he became the youngest person ever to be elected to the Copywriter's Hall of Fame. McCabe is known for his crisp, concise copy, and he has written on everything from automats to automobiles, nose pollution to hi-fi. In 1971 SMS was given the advertising contract for Perdue Farms chickens. McCabe managed to turn Perdue's chickens into America's first brand-name chickens, based on a television campaign built around the line, ... "
Abstract This paper examines how Ed Hamilton, a contemporary sculptor, believes his greatest passion in life is to teach people the truth of history, specifically African American history, and how his method of bringing truth to the public eye is to conceive of and create memorials to the "forgotten" African Americans throughout history. It looks at how his specialty is doing public monuments and how he is most known for his work on public memorials that celebrate the achievements of African-Americans, such as his "Spirit of Freedom" in Washington D.C., which honors African-American soldiers who fought for the Union in the Civil War.
From the Paper "Born on Valentine's day, February fourteenth, in 1947, Ed Hamilton has known a great many changes through his life. Although born in Cincinnati, Ohio, he was raised in Louisville, Kentucky. Wanting to follow his artistic urges and knowing a love for sculpting early in life, he attended the Art Center School in Louisville (Bright (Anonymous Biography, Internet source). He graduated in 1969. Unable to support his family entirely on his earnings from sculpting, he chose to teach both sculpting and ceramics to the youth at Iroquois High School while completing his education at the University of Louisville and Spalding University in Louisville. He began sculpting as a career only after becoming an apprentice to the well-known sculptor, Barney Bright (Anonymous Biography, Internet source)."
Abstract This paper introduces, discusses and analyzes the topic of criminal justice. Specifically the paper discusses the juvenile offender Edmund Kemper also known as the Co-ed Killer. The paper takes a look at concepts of juvenile delinquency in relation to the justice system and how the system deals with juvenile offenders.
From the Paper "The societal impact of Kemper's first release was deadly. Eight women including his mother died as a result, and more probably would have died had Kemper not turned himself in. He became notorious as a serial killer, and finally got the recognition he had so desperately needed from his mother. Throughout his life, his bizarre actions were a cry for help, and no one listened. His mother berated him, the justice system "cured" him and set him free, and the social workers ignored him. There were several different systems at play in Kemper's release, and they all combined to let him, and society, down. The societal impact to eight families was brutal, but what Kemper's case implied to society as a whole was much more important. If Kemper made it through the system and was released back to the very person who seemed to be the cause of most of his problems, how many other offenders had suffered the same fate, and were waiting to claim more victims? Ultimately, society pays for the digressions of the criminal justice system, in small ways, or in larger ones."
Abstract This paper addresses the issue of whether sexual dysfunction in the elderly is a result of disease and physical conditions or an aspect of the aging process. The paper holds that changes in sexual desire and activity may be the result of a wide range of biological, social, emotional, cultural and environmental factors. The paper suggests that, while sexual dysfunction is related to a combination of the aging process and disease conditions, it may also largely be the result of misguided beliefs about aging and sexuality. The paper concludes that a great proportion of sexual problems are associated with the conditions of older people's lives and with social attitudes about aging and sexuality. It holds that the majority of issues related to sexual dysfunction can be addressed through heath teaching.

Conclusion
From the Paper "One reason for sexual dysfunction is relatively easily addressed and has important implications for nursing. Lack of information about sexual dysfunction and embarrassment on the part of men to discuss the issue needs to be addressed through sensitive health teaching. Erectile dysfunction can produce a significant psychological and social impact on the patient and his partner. In addition, it is associated with depression, anxiety, and loss of self-esteem in both partners. Even though society is open about the problem of erectile dysfunction, men generally are not inclined to seek help. However, since erectile dysfunction could be the first manifestation of cardiovascular disease as well as diabetes, it is extremely important that he care provider inquire about the problem during patient visits (Kolodny, 2003)."

Conclusion
From the Paper "While Female Sexual Dysfunction is not a rare problem, it is difficult to treat due to the fact that patients often feel uncomfortable talking with their physicians about it. Often, too, there is more than one cause and the different causes may require different treatments. Psychotherapy is not the only treatment available today. While it has been the policy of the church, in the past, to lead women to believe what should be normal sexual desire is instead perverse or bad, that attitude is slowly changing and the church is helping women build a better self-image."

Conclusions
From the Paper "There are various research methods that have been applied in the investigation of this phenomenon. These include both quantifiable as well as qualitative methods and range from the measurement and assessment of biological data to interviews and discussions with patients. As discussed in the above section both experiential and correlative methods have advantage and disadvantages. While the more objective data that is obtained through the correlation of different variables helps in understanding the problem of sexual dysfunction, experiential methods such as interviews and personal discussion also provide important data. Therefore it follows the best methodology is one that would involve both experiential and correlation methods."
Abstract This paper discusses how broken and dysfunctional families are a common thread in many of Shakespeare's works and how "Hamlet," one of Shakespeare's finest works, revolves around the broken family of Hamlet, the central character of the play. It looks at how the motive of broken and dysfunctional families also appears in numerous other Shakespeare works, including "The Comedy of Errors," "Romeo and Juliet," "A Midsummer Night's Dream," "Henry IV," "Henry V", and "Much Ado About Nothing" and how the theme itself causes grief, despair, death, and laughter. It analyzes how Shakespeare uses it quite effectively and how his work shows how a common theme can be woven into many different fabrics, making each of them a unique and lasting work of art.
From the Paper "This theme continues in "Romeo and Juliet," the Montagues and Capulets are broken and dysfunctional in their unreasonable hatred for one another, which ultimately leads to the death of their children, and the reconciliation of the families. The Montagues and Capulets have feuded for years, and hate each other with an unreasonable passion, and this passion carries down to their children, who fall in love despite their families' feuding. Unlike the comedies, where love heals all, and the families come together because of true love, in this tragedy, the broken families can only be healed by true tragedy, and as they both lose their children, the tragedy is complete, and the families recognize what they have lost because of their unreasonable hatred."
