Abstract
This paper explores the impact of radar upon the Second World War and its outcome. The paper further examines the steady development of radar facilitated collaboration and closer communication between British and American scientists, and how it spared Britain during the 1940 Battle of Britain. It also addresses how radar helped the war effort in the Pacific.

From the Paper
"The following paper will explore the impact of radar upon the Second World War and its outcome. To be more specific, the next several pages will look at how the steady development of radar facilitated (prompted) collaboration and closer communication between British and American scientists, spared Britain during the 1940 Battle of Britain (a period in time when it seemed as though the ultimate success of the Nazis was just a matter of time), immensely advantaged the Allies as they struggled to secure mastery over the Atlantic and its shipping lanes, aided the Americans as they wrestled for control of the Pacific with the Japanese..."

Abstract
The paper begins by explaining basically what radar is and for what it's used. Then the paper recounts the history of radar's development, both theoretically and practically. From the history of radar the paper returns to the question of how it works, but analyzes the physics in depth, and breaks down the operation of each of a radar system's components. The paper finishes with a review of modern applications of different types of radar systems.

From the Paper
"Parallel developments occurred in a number of countries. The highest frequency at which then-current technology allowed substantial power to be generated was about 30MHz, the top end of the HF band. UK radar development proceeded rapidly from 1935 so that by 1937 the first operational (HF) radars of the Chain Home series were demonstrated. These frequencies were in place at the outbreak of World War II and played a decisive role in the air defence of Britain during the War. Wartime radar development quickly moved on to shorter wavelengths as devices were developed to allow generation and control of the power, but the Chain Home radars remained in service, as originally installed. The Chain Home radars, operating between 25 to 30MHz, on occasions indicated returns from extreme ranges, due to ionospheric reflection beyond the horizon. But they were intended as line-of-sight radars and long-range returns from the distant ground via an ionospheric reflection were generally only a source of confusion. During the War some attempts were made to use the ionospherically propagated signal for long range detections of convoys but no success was achieved (or could be expected) and tests were dropped."

Abstract
This report is designed to introduce the future officer to traffic radar. It explains to the future police officer the kind of radar units he/she may encounter on a job, how they work, public opinion of them and touches on the potential health hazards that radar units can present.

From the Paper
"Since its introduction to traffic law enforcement in 1948, radar has been an integral component of vehicular speed measurement. Each year hundreds of thousands of dollars are collected in courts throughout the nation from motorists whose speed was monitored with the aid of this electronic instrument. Today, radars overall efficiency and effectiveness have been greatly enhanced. In spite of its great improvements, radar is currently being scrutinized, questioned, and challenged, not only for its reliability but also for the quality of operator training. "

Abstract
This paper explains that, for innumerable years, the only way to develop effectively an archaeology site was by the laborious and area-disturbing digging of trial sites; however, today, computer technology presents the ability to see what the terrain looks like beneath the surface. Next, the author describes the development of ground penetrating radar (GPR) devices, which are classified as remote sensing tools. The paper illustrates its application at known archeology sites, such as Memphis in Egypt, and its use to examine construction sites before excavation to be sure that valuable archeological information is not destroyed.

From the Paper
"These continuous readings display a picture of the earth below its surface, on an imaging screen and can also be recorded and or copied to provide a physical reference that coincides with the structural grid used to delineate the area where the radar is being employed. The grid itself is often associated with GPS location tracking but in the past has been associated with other measures, such as existing landmarks. Above (right) is a photograph of an early GPR device, being utilized on a dig site in Egypt to determine what might exist in an area surrounding a pyramid."

Abstract
The writer explores this character friend in Russia. It shows that this hardly a character at all - we do not know his name, nor do we meet him - but he is a device through which Kafka reveals the true character of Georg Bendemann and accounts for the sentence of death which his father passes on him. Georg rejoices in his friends failures and uses them to underline his own successes, and by not inviting his friend to his wedding, he does not allow him to share in his own happiness. Other subtexts of the father's attitude to his son are explored, such as possible Freudian interpretations.

From the Paper
" Nameless, he is given only the bare bones of a personality, and appears in two differing incarnations, both as Georg's "childhood friend" , and the "son after my own heart" described by Bendemann senior. As such, he cannot be said to play an active role in the relationship between the father and son. He becomes instead a token, used by each to their own ends. Through the ways in which each character interprets the friend in Russia, and uses the image of this friend as a weapon, Kafka reveals the personalities of the protagonists, and exposes the relationship between them."

Abstract
This paper examines the way teenagers deal with the death of a friend and how it differs from the way adults might grieve and talks about the issues that must be dealt with when trying to resolve a loss and dealing with grief. The paper stresses the importance of grief counseling and how those teenagers that do receive counseling after the death of a friend generally come out of their grief better adjusted and capable of handling the world than those who have locked their grief up inside and simply keep it private.

From the Paper
"When a friend dies, teenagers handle that grief differently than adults would, but they still grieve very deeply. Much of their pain and grief comes from the fact that most teenagers lose friends to sudden death, such as traffic accidents, than to anticipated death, such as might come from cancer or other progressive illnesses. Whatever the cause of death, however, grief counseling is vitally important for these young people so that they can adjust to the death and become accepting of it. This is the only way that they will move on with their lives and learn to enjoy things once again. This is not the same as asking them to forget their friend or the pain that they feel at their friend's passing, but is rather asking them to learn ways to cope with the pain, so that it is not always present and life can move on."

Abstract
The paper focuses on the character development and narration within "Our Friend Judith". The paper shows how although the character of Judith is the subject of the story, she remains an enigmatic figure to both the reader and her friends. The paper also highlights the distance that exists between the character of Judith and the narrator.

From the Paper
"In Our Friend Judith, Doris Lessing develops Judith's character through the narration of her unnamed friend, and it is from her perspective that the reader becomes acquainted with Judith. Although Judith is the subject of the story, she remains an enigmatic figure to both the reader, and her friends. As the story progresses, the narrator, while claiming to know Judith intimately, reveals that there is much about Judith she doesn't understand. Lessing's use of this method of characterization gives the reader a fragmented sense of Judith's personality, reinforcing the distance that exists between her and the narrator."
