From the Paper
" Ant colonies are typically founded by one or a few queens. These queens produce all of the worker ants. Workers are responsible for finding food, caring for immature ants, and defending the nest. Ant ecology is greatly influenced by competition; in fact, it is perhaps the primary force determining colony size and organization. Given such competition, ants must be able to discriminate between members of their own colony (i.e., nestmates) and members from other colonies (i.e., non-nestmates). This ability to recognize nestmates--as opposed to aliens--is primarily mediated through chemical signals.
Ants, in general, have attained considerable ecological..."

Abstract
This paper discusses the reasons for the popularity of Apache Ant for Java. It further discusses why this approach is easier and better noting that the Ant Build Automation Tool is a powerful scripting tool for building processes are various code requirements using predefined tasks. Ant is an XML based scripting tool, and Apache Ant is specifically a Java based Build Tool.
From the Paper
"The Ant Build Automation Tool is a powerful scripting tool for building processes are various code requirements using predefined tasks. Ant is an XML-based scripting tool, and Apache Ant is specifically a Java-based Build Tool. There are other ways that some of the same tasks can be achieved, and many consider Ant to be a better tool that other scripting approaches such as Batch scripting. An examination of the Ant system can show why Ant is better than others and also expose any disadvantages that Ant might have compared to other methods."

Abstract
This paper examines two types of organisms that are readily observable for the purposes of this experiment, fire ants and plants. The paper researches if the fire ant will resist infesting any plant. It offers the pine, chamomile and rose bush as examples. The paper will try to use the findings to prove that chamomile can prevent fire ant infestation in farming.
From the Paper
"Two types of organisms that are readily observable for the purposes of this experiment are fire ants and plants. The research question that is addressed is, "If exposed to three different types of plants, (pine tree, rose bush, chamomile) is there any plant that the fire ant will not infest?". Hypothesis Steve Diver (1999) contends that in the practice of biodynamic farming chamomile can serve as a natural plant that aids in preventing crop insect infestations (para. 6). While Diver (1999) does not discuss the use of chamomile to prevent fire an infestation in farming, it is evident that determining this use would be vitally important to farmers. With this background information in mind, it is therefore contended that when active fire ants are exposed to the chamomile plant they will avoid the plant altogether, but will not hesitate to ..."

Abstract
This paper discusses the short story, ?The Ant of the Self,? written by Z. Z. Packer. The paper explores how the story demonstrates a common despair children often discover within the relationships with their irresponsible fathers. The paper examines the story's theme of the importance of a father figure, as well as the importance of discovering what it means to be a real man.
From the Paper
"Spurgeon?s pain is caused primarily by what he does not share with his father. It also stems from exactly from who Ray is. From the beginning of the story, we are aware that Spurgeon does not have a meaningful relationship with his father. In fact, it appears as if the roles are reversed because the son is picking up his father from jail instead of the other way around. Ray, complete with a DUI on his record, is quite an interesting and unorthodox father figure. He is always thinking of schemes to make money fast, schemes that he refers to as investments. In addition, the story revolves around one of Ray?s schemes that involves selling exotic birds at the Million Man March in Washington, DC, which is 700 miles away."

"Both of the native and imported fire ants are small, dark orange/brown ants with workers of various sizes that quickly rally and sting en mass when their mound is disturbed . Other than the much larger "red harvester" or "Texas red ant" (which has no variation in worker size and is conspicuous on its trails and around its flat open mound entrance), the majority of other stinging, ground-dwelling ants in Texas are encountered as solitary individuals (Gilbert 2)."

?Intruder in the Dust?, 2002.
Explores how author William Faulkner expresses his view on race relations in this novel.

Abstract
William Faulkner?s attitude on race relations at the outset of the civil rights movement in the American South is best expressed in one of his lesser works, "Intruder in the Dust". The paper shows how Faulkner subtly expresses his views through the different characters of the novel, such as Lucas Beauchamp and Vinson Gowrie. The paper also draws parallels between the novel and Mark Twain's "Huckleberry Finn" and Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird". The paper concludes that Faulkner played a key role in introducing themes of southern race warfare in a context that is at the same time sympathetic to southern culture. It also argues that Faulkner?s work is so attractive to modern critics because it allows people to see the south through its own vernacular.
From the Paper
"However, whereas Harper Lee portrayed a historical event, Faulkner portrayed one that was contemporary, for which he earned harsh criticism from the Southern establishment; Faulkner wrote his book at the beginning of the struggle for Civil Rights and Harper Lee wrote about it after it had been recognized and treated as a social problem by the federal government. At the time of Intruder in the Dust?s publication, the ?Dixiecrat? party of Strom Thurmond sought to preserve traditional southern racism from the egalitarian policies of the Democratic Party under the helm of President Truman. What had been the ?Solid South? was in a state of disarray as the whole of the south voted in a third party candidate in protest. According to Joel Williamson?s William Faulkner and Southern History, Faulkner found himself under fire from both sides of the race relations debate."

Soldiers in Vietnam, 2002.
Comparing Stephen Coonts' "Flight of the Intruder" and
Lt. Gen. Harold G. Moore's "We Were Soldiers Once . . . and Young" about soldiers' experiences in Vietnam.

Abstract
This paper compares the accounts in these books about soldiers' harrowing experiences in Vietnam. However the difference between the two writings are apparent as Coonts' account is fictional and Moore's is non-fiction. The writer shows how both have very similar experiences to share, but each is presented in a different manner.
From the Paper
"Stephen Coonts' Flight of the Intruder and Lt. Gen. Harold G. Moore's We Were Soldiers Once . . . and Young are about an era of American history many Americans would like to forget, the Vietnam War. The two books vividly describe the horrors of war, the sense of camaraderie shared by soldiers in the field, and the devastating effect of the war on the social, mental, and physical health of the soldier. Both authors saw combat action in Vietnam and fill their descriptions with telling details and observations born of direct experience. Understandable because of the prevailing view of the Vietnam War as a public policy mistake, both works focus on errors in judgement made by decision-makers higher in the chain of command than the authors and the sense of meaninglessness and futility that resulted. Despite these similarities, Intruder and We Were Soldiers remain true to the traditional writing and composition techniques that distinguish fiction from nonfiction and therefore provide very different experiences for the reader. Specifically, through the use of differing points of view and main character, plot development, and theme expression, Coonts and Moore provide two very distinct literary takes on the soldier's experience in the Vietnam War."

Faulkner's Abstract and Metaphysical Themes, 1973.

From the Paper
"To attempt to uncover a prevailing theme, or a theme which remains constant throughout the work of William Faulkner, is a difficult task. In both sociological and literary circles Faulkner has been studied as a writer who concentrated his attention on the decadence of the South as an institution. He has been treated as an analyst of the racial situation, who presented both the Black and the White points of view. His efforts through literature for racial reform have not gone unnoticed. However, these rather obvious themes have been studied to the point of futility. In an Analysis of Faulkner it is necessary to penetrate beyond these superficial matters into the more abstract and metaphysical questions which are being discovered in the many and diverse facets of his literary production."

»
Click here to show/hide summary
From the Paper
"There are many factors that regulate insect populations. Some of these are weather, which includes temperature, light, moisture, and air movement; migration; food sources; behavior; and genetics. Much of the research compiled on insects is concerned with controlling insect population for the purposes of curbing diseases and damage to crops and livestock. Other research has focused on insects as part of the ecosystem.
For example, mosquitos have been the subject of much research since they can be carriers of malaria (1:546). One of the ways scientists have sought to control malaria is through insect genetics. In the early 1960s, the disease seemed under control. Field workers, using DDT, were able to stop the disease by attacking its transmission routes, or vectors--malaria-carrying mosquitos. However, by the end of the decade, mosquitos.."

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper notes the need for security and a security plan for the MIS system to be implemented. The writer looks at concerns raised over computer crime, threats from hackers, and threats from employees who abuse the use of the computer. Further, the writer notes the need to protect data from intruders from any internal or external source, with recommendations for the use of a firewall, passwords, and other means.
From the Paper
"The security of the computer system to be installed has to be part of the design from the start. The security system needs to take into account the threat of computer crime, hackers, and even employees who misuse the system. Key to the system has to be the protection of data from intruders from any internal or external source. Much computer crime today is an external threat. The types of fraud are numerous, in keeping with different types of business and with different degrees of vulnerability. Businesses suffer because of identity theft, hackers, computer viruses and worms, and employee abuse of the system."

Imperialism in Literature, 2005.
Examines different angles of imperialism in "Heart of Darkness" by Joseph Conrad and "Shooting an Elephant" by George Orwell.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper compares the points of view of the characters and the authors on imperialism in two novels on the subject, Joseph Conrad's "Heart of Darkness" and George Orwell's "Shooting an Elephant". This paper shows that even though both characters from these novels are on the side of the 'intruders,' they feel remorse or despise imperialism.
From the Paper
"Another issue that comes up in both of these works is the issue of the character becoming encompassed. In Orwell's work, the main character is encompassed by the thousands of natives that are there, enticing him to shoot the elephant. In Conrad's work, Marlow is encompassed by the surroundings themselves such as when Marlow states, "The reaches opened before us and closed behind, as if the forest had stepped leisurely across the water to bar the way for our return" (Conrad, 1983). Both of these examples help to enhance the theme of becoming one of the natives. Being encompassed, whether by the natives or the surroundings, you are becoming part of that nation."

Security Lighting, 2006.
A discussion regarding crime and the private security industry's use of light to combat this crime.
1,800 words (approx. 7.2 pages), 4 sources, $ 71.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses how the private security industry as a whole tends to benefit in times of social unrest and tension, such as during periods of concern about crime, or when other fears spur the public to seek ways to reduce the likelihood of becoming a victim.This paper further discusses security lighting, emphasizing that one of the best approaches to security is to illuminate the vicinity in order to increase one's sense of security, drive away intruders, reduce the likelihood of accidents, and at the same time create a more pleasing look for a building, a yard, or a parking lot. Lighting is required for many types of security system. For some, the lights themselves are a deterrent and constitute the primary security element. In other cases, lighting serves a secondary purpose as well.

"Company Security Options
The Department as a system
Whether the typical employee of the insurance company under review understands it or not, his or her safety and security is a vital responsibility of the Security Department of the company, functioning as an integral part of Operations Management. Management, whether it is specifically in the hands of Human Resources or at the very top of the corporate hierarchy, has a duty to safeguard the lives and security of its employees at their work place. This includes not merely keeping intruders from gaining access, but also means providing for any and all unanticipated dangers- from fire, foul weather damage, safety in parking facilities or outdoor lot, and handling the potential dangers from disgruntled employees or customers.
For this reason..."
