Abstract
This paper presents a research study that aims to understand the aroma impact compounds of cooked beef liver. The research reviews how far back the knowledge of consumption of cooked liver of any type goes and why, prior to the knowledge of its nutritional value, it was considered important to eat liver. The negative connotation to eating liver both historically and presently is reviewed as well as who actually eats liver in both the U.S. and abroad. In addition, the paper famous liver dishes are reviewed as well as the current percent consumption of liver, specifically beef liver in the U.S. and why the rate of consumption is at this level. Lastly, this research paper reviews where the remainder of the liver goes to specifically the percent that goes in animal feed and the percent that goes into consumable or non-consumable products.

Review of the Literature
From the Paper
"There are two primary methods of raw beef liver consumption. The first method is to freeze the liver for two weeks after cutting into large chunks. The fourteen days of freezing is to make sure that pathogens and parasites are eliminated. The liver can be removed from the freeze and grated. The second method is cutting the liver into small pill-size chunks and after freezing for two weeks taking the liver the same as swallowing vitamins. Razaitis states that suggestions given by a Native Nutrition discussion group for liver preparation."

"THE UV/HYDROGEN PEROXIDE PROCESS FOR TREATING INDUSTRIAL WASTES
Introduction. The application of ultraviolet (UV) light in combination with (as a catalyst for oxidation by) hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) has been successful for the removal of fairly dilute organic solvents from groundwater and less successful for the removal of concentrated and possibly more variegated, complex wastes from the tomato-processing and distillery industries. The chemical reasons for the mixed results will be explored here, and the economic feasibility of the process will be reviewed.
The Process Train. FMC/Southland Environmental claims that FMC is the "largest producer of hydrogen peroxide in North America" (6:2). It makes its product available, in part, through a skid-mounted waste treatment unit that is ..."

Abstract
The paper deals with a very detailed investigation into how the kinetics of a reaction changes from alterationss in pH, the concerntration of reactants and the addition of a catlyst in a homogenous solution. Also included is the most effective, yet efficient manner, of determining the rate of the reaction including detailed mathematical calculations. There is a lot of experimental data as evidence included and a detailed practical guide of how the investigation was undertaken and numerous discussions.This paper is essential as a reference for those studying reaction kinetics.
From the Paper
"Investigate the kinetics of the above reaction and thus attempt to find a rate equation for the reaction and also establishing the best method to determine the rate of the reaction. I will do this by varying the concentrations of Iodide ions, H+ ions and Hydrogen Peroxide to generate the rate equation, I will also try to find the effect of a catalyst: Molybdate ion on the rate of reaction and also if the amount of catalyst is relevant in a homogenous reaction. The rate will be found using the iodine clock reaction and also by the use of a pH meter and a colorimeter, and these methods will be assessed to help determine the best method of analysis."

From the Paper
"According to the American Cancer Society, the liver is the bigest internal organ in the body. It is located underneath the right ribs, just unde the right lung and diaphragm. The American Cancer Society explains that the liver looks like a pyramid and is divided into right and left lobes(What is Liver Cancer, 2006). The liver also receives blood from 2 sources(What is Liver Cancer, 2006). The first source is the hepatic artery which supplies the liver with blood that is rich in oxygen. In addition the portal vein carry the nutrient-rich blood from the intestines to the liver (What is Liver Cancer, 2006)."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at liver disease, the liver transplant operation, patients awaiting liver transplants and post transplant patients. This paper specifically focuses on the surgical intensive care unit Mayo Clinic at St. Luke's Hospital, Jacksonville USA, and studies a patient referred to as F.M, a 58 year old white male from Boston, MA.
From the Paper
"F.M. had a history of ETOH abuse. It is reported that he had a history of 42 beers/wk for thirty years. This amounts to a six pack a day for thirty years. F.M. reports quitting in March of 2003. Alcohol can induce alcoholic cirrhosis. Alcohol is converted to acetaldehyde that causes the alteration of hepatocyte function. It impairs mitochondrial function that decreases oxidation of fatty acid. Enzyme and protein synthesis is altered leading to diminished degradation of hormones and ammonia. When inhibition of export of protein from the liver occurs alteration in metabolism of vitamins and minerals induce malnutrition. The alteration of hepatocyte function is what ultimately triggers the cellular damage to the liver which initiates the inflammatory response. The damage caused from this process is slowly progressive and thought to be reversible depending on extent of damage (Dirksen, Heitkemper, & Lewis 2004).
The major risk factor that F.M. has contributing to his current condition is Hepatitis C Virus (HCV). HCV is an RNA virus that is mainly transmitted percutaneously. This virus causes direct cellular damage to the liver initiating the inflammatory response. The course of this virus varies with extensive damage not showing up until 25-30 years later. A reliable antibody test was not widely available before 1992. So many patients given blood or blood products before then are at risk for infection (Dirksen, Heitkemper, & Lewis 2004). F.M was a veteran of the Vietnam War in the 1960s and received a blood transfusion at that time. "

Hydrogen Fuel Cell Limitations
From the Paper
"The 21st century global marketplace has been witness to the advent of numerous technological advances in an effort to create efficiency and reduce the cost of utilizing expensive energy resources. Environmental policy has also played an important role in the legitimacy of large corporations primarily due to the alarming increase in global warming. As the world becomes closer to its neighbors through free-market trade, the relevance of environmental accountability becomes even more paramount. With oil prices rapidly increasing and technological advances in the synthesis of energy resources, the transportation industry is becoming more responsible for the environmental impact due to business operations. Countries and companies worldwide are becoming more active in regulating fuel economy. The rise of hydrogen fuel cell integration in domestic vehicles, locomotives and public transportation services has increased due to environmental regulations and finding cost efficient resources for power."

The Denial of Liver Transplants to Alcoholics, 2007.
A discussion of whether it is ethical to deny liver transplants to alcoholics.
2,940 words (approx. 11.8 pages), 6 sources, MLA, $ 86.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the criteria used to determine who may receive a liver transplant and, in particular, whether alcoholics should be allotted livers for transplant. Alcoholics tend to be given low priority status on liver transplant waiting lists or are even taken off such lists because they are considered responsible for their organ's diseased condition. The paper questions whether the denial of transplants based on this moral criteria is justified. It concludes by arguing that alcoholics should be given the same priority level as non-alcoholics on the same transplant waiting lists.
From the Paper
"Deciding who should receive organs is not based solely on medical need, but also on moral criteria. Initially, patients must display a genuine medical need for a new organ, meaning that they will indeed die unless they receive a transplant. Then they are eligible to be placed on a waiting list. Patients on the list are then chosen one-by-one as organs become available (Kilner 5). However, it is most certainly always the case that the available organ could potentially be given to more than one person on the list. In this situation, a single recipient must be chosen. A team of physicians and a psychologist determine which patient will be given a new chance at life through the transplantation of a new organ ... but how exactly do they decide?"

Abstract
This paper examines how there are a number of companies conducting extensive research and development of the creation of hydrogen cars due to a too great reliance on dwindling fossil fuels and environmental problems. In particular, it looks at how hydrogen fuel cars have a number of advantages over gasoline powered automobiles.
From the Paper
"Since the first motorized horse and buggy, the automobile has undergone a number of changes in design and mechanics, based on consumer interest and other factors such as cost, availability of fuel, ease of manufacturability and the like. One of the areas that has undergone these changes is in power used to run the vehicles. The first automobiles were powered either by steam or electricity. The former had functional problems, and the latter were slow, heavy, impractical and expensive. Once the internal combustion engine was developed that used fuels such as fuel as gasoline, diesel, and kerosene, the other types of cars could not compete."

From the Paper
"Both genetic and lifestyle factors can cause alcoholic cirrhosis. About 50% of the cases of cirrhosis belong to this condition. Liver's capacity can be overworked by chemical and drug overload leading to scarring. A possible cause is any illness that injures the liver like viral hepatitis B and C and chronic active hepatitis and autoimmune hepatitis. A secondary condition to a very old bile duct obstruction and jaundice is an autoimmune condition described as biliary cirrhosis or cirrhosis. A condition called Sarcoidosis that looks like tuberculosis can cause cirrhosis. This is presently considered an autoimmune disease. One more cause is heart failure causing blood to pool in the liver and this overcrowding can cause cirrhosis. (Cirrhosis: www.gutdoc.org)"

Abstract
This paper concerns the alternative fuel hydrogen. The writer notes how this fuel is produced and looks at some of the problems of making it practical for use in automobiles and other vehicles. The writer explains that storage is a major issue, because hydrogen takes up four items the space of a comparable fast energy source. Some of the research being conducted to correct this situation is noted, including new materials for storage.
From the Paper
"There are many reasons to embrace the demand for alternative fuels. The current state of the world's ongoing energy crisis, of the demand for fossil fuel and of the constant fighting over oil in the middle east, are all current events that are related to oil and fuel. However, we should also look to the future for the true reasons for using alternative fuels. The emissions from power plants, refineries and automobiles are causing global warming and irreversible damage to the ozone. This is why it is so important for scientists, engineers and researchers to break down the fossil fuel barrier and replace it with alternative fuels, one of which is hydrogen."

Abstract
This paper is on the prospects for the hydrogen powered car, noting the stakeholders involved, some of what they want, and how likely it is that the car will be produced in the near future. The paper indicates that the primary problem may be getting the fuel to the consumer in an economical way, given that the ultimate stakeholder is the consumer, who will be asked to buy these cars and who will want to have a car that performs as well as possible and to be able to refuel easily and economically.
From the Paper
"Hydrogen-powered cars operate on energy produced by the mixing of hydrogen and oxygen, with the only by-product being water. Stacy (2003) notes that General Motors is to provide $44 million to build a fleet of 40 hydrogen-fueled cars for use in New York, Washington, Michigan, and California, with another $44 million in matching funds to be provided by the U.S. Dept. of Energy. In addition, Shell Hydrogen LLC is to create five refueling stations in New York, Washington, California, and along the east coast, and this is seen as a major step in the development of hydrogen-fueled cars, given that automakers are reluctant to develop hydrogen cars both because of the cost and because of the current lack of refueling stations (Stacy, 2003, para. 1)."

Abstract
This paper reports the findings of an investigation into the role of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatogram (ERCP) in the management of biliary complications, which occur among patients who had undergone cadaveric liver transplantation. The author describe the the biliary system and the factors causing biliary complications. The paper concludes that ERCP is an effective treatment modality to manage biliary leaks and anastomotic strictures. However, the effectiveness of ERCP relies on the earliest diagnosis and the nature of leaks and strictures. The author indicates the need to standardize these complications using ERCP treatments requires more randomized studies, as findings still remain controversial.
Table of Contents:
Factors Causing Biliary Complications
Diagnosis of Biliary Complications
Biliary Strictures
Biliary Leaks
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Late appearing strictures result from vascular insufficiency and problems from healing and fibrosis. They may develop several months to years after grafting. In the study, the mean time of diagnosis was 153 days, and the duration of time it took to diagnose ranged from 13 to 824 days. Fifty-six percent of those with biliary strictures were detected within the first three months, 30.4% between three months to a year, and 13% thereafter. Therefore, majority of the diagnosed strictures were early strictures which may have resulted from technical errors."

Summary
From the Paper
"The liver is a vital organ for altering the activity of foreign substances such as drugs and toxins. This is accomplished mainly through an enzyme system called the cytochrome P450 complex in the liver cells. Drugs and toxins within the bloodstream are filtered through the liver cells and metabolized. The liver cells detoxify the blood by adding groups to the substances that makes them inactive or more water- or fat-soluble, where they can be safely excreted through the urinary system or digestive system. Alternatively, these substances can be broken down by certain enzymes, rendering them inactive. Some drugs, however, utilize the catabolic nature of the liver in order to convert less active or initially inert drugs into their active metabolites. "
