Abstract
This paper outlines a project designed to improve efficiency and to reduce waste at the Detroit axle plant of the DaimlerChrysler plant. While the plant is, in many ways, a well-run one, it could be improved in the areas both of savings of scrap and of improving the product. The paper recommends that the plant be improved along both of these vectors in a move toward a pull-through system, which is a characteristic of a management style known as the Rabbit Chase system.
From the Paper
"This Axle Plant, which is part of the DaimlerChrysler Corporation, it is located in Detroit. Its primary task is to provides axles for various DaimlerChrysler assembly plants. Detroit Axle has approximately 2400 employees. There is a moderate degree of standardization is moderate with a high degree of formalization and the expected low degree of specialization. The organizational structure (or what we might also call the command structure) is highly centralizes with a low degree of specialization and a highly routinized approach to technology."

Abstract
This paper outlines a project designed to improve efficiency and to reduce waste at the Detroit axle plant of the DaimlerChrysler company. While the plant is, in many ways, a well-run one, it could be improved in the areas both of savings of scrap and of improving the product. The recommendation to improve the plant along both of these vectors is to shift to a more decentralized system of control in which workers are given greater autonomy for decision making, especially in terms of materials usage.
From the Paper
"The major problems that this plant faces, as noted above, are too much waste in terms of raw materials as well as finished products that are not sufficiently high quality (or rather, finished products some of which are sufficiently high in quality but many others which are not. Both of these problems, but particularly the wastes that occur in the use of raw materials, are related to the fact that the authority in the plant is so centralized and the technology so routinized: Such a system of overall organization fails to allow line workers sufficient autonomy to allow for the most efficient use of raw materials."

Abstract
This is a detailed and illustrated paper on using organic fertilizers instead of chemical fertilizers on plants. Results of experiments concerning this topic are included with the paper.
From the Paper
"Organic fertilizers can provide enough nutrients to plants, that is the reason why the plants can grow well. Also the organic fertilizers can change the structure of soil and create a good drainage system, and well-ventilated environment which can be a better place for microorganisms to survive. The organic fertilizers contribute a lot to the growth of plants, but they still have some disadvantages. If one adds too much organic fertilizers, the plants will die because the concentration of organic fertilizers is very high."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The two companies call the $48 billion deal a "merger of equals" rather than an acquisition, careful not to use that word, even though it appears to outsiders that Daimler will be the stronger partner, and Chrysler is expected to be managed from Stuttgart in coming years ("Worldwide Fender Blender...;" Harbour). Each brings significant elements to the deal. Daimler-Benz was the biggest selling carmaker in Germany last year, exceeding total annual sales of BMW by $29.5 billion for a total of $62.9 billion (Feast). Chrysler is the "world leader in low-cost, high-volume auto production" with greater output per worker than Daimler-Benz ("Worldwide..."). Chrysler is also known for spotting good ideas and opportunities and focusing on them; Chrysler essentially invented the sports utility vehicle (SUV) with its Jeep Cherokee, now copied by all other major auto-makers, including Daimler-Benz whose Mercedes-Benz line has a luxury version. It also invented the minivan. Daimler-Benz has a strong reputation for quality, and Chrysler, which has some quality/image problems has a diverse line of autos with 28 models (brands and styles: Jeep, Dodge RAM Trucks, Chrysler sedans, minivans, etc.) compared to Daimler-Benz' limited line of luxury sedans. The combined product and price ranges will also appeal to a wider spectrum of consumers."

Abstract
This paper explains that narcotic plants, known for their effects on mind and body since the prehistoric period, were often associated with magic, religious rites, and medicine. Although there are over 60 species of hallucinogens known today that are consumed by people in one part of the world or other, the author focuses on the five major narcotics: tobacco, opium, hemp (marijuana), betel, and coca. The paper relates that the hallucinations that occur because the neuronal messages are changed in a greatly dramatic manner when narcotic plants are consumed.

From the Paper
"Peyote: Botanically known by the name Lophophora williamsii, Peyote is a small grey-green variety of cactus found in northern Mexico and Texas. The Native Americans extensively used peyote particularly in their religious rites. The Aztecs ardently worshiped it and peyotism even grew as a religion among Americans. The compounds that are chemically active include mescaline and peyonine, of which mescaline induces hallucination essentially visual in nature, which enables the user to foresee and predict happenings as if in spiritual union with the divine power. Consumption of peyote causes intoxication accompanied by nausea, body shivers and perspiration for about two hours after which the user normally falls into hallucination."

From the Paper
"According to Zerner, the majority of the knowledge about medicinal plants today has been accumulated based on empirical observations over long periods of time. Likewise, Crellin and Philpott note that observations of the use of different plants by sick animals has always been a valuable source of information for early practitioners, and many continue to believe this is a valuable source of reliable information concerning the efficacy of medicinal plants today. Even the nonmedicinal uses of these various plant materials has helped the body of knowledge through increased familiarity to the point where, "Nowadays, many herbalists believe that they have an almost intuitive sense of whether or not a plant is medical. Ten of the most popular medicinal plants today are bilberry, cranberry, echinacea, feverfew, Ginkgo biloba, goldenseal, kava kava, milk thistle, saw palmetto, and St. John's wort."

Abstract
This paper examines the environmental problems that occur due to emissions from coal-fired power plants. The paper focuses on the older power plants in the Great Lakes region. The paper discusses the problem and explores solutions to rectify the situation. The paper contends that, despite pollution issues, there are many reasons to support coal-fired power plants, and therefore, the most promising solution involves tighter regulation of coal-fired power plants, particularly reducing the pollution caused by older plants, such as those in the Great Lakes area.
From the Paper
"Out of the entire electric industry, coal-fired power plants contribute 96% of sulfur dioxide emissions, 93% of nitrogen oxide emissions, 88% of carbon dioxide emissions, and 99% of mercury emissions (Dirty coal power). Today, there are fish consumption advisories for mercury contamination in 45 states and 20% of American women of childbearing age have levels of mercury that exceed what is considered safe for a fetus (Mercury from coal-fired power plants). Coal-fired power plants is responsible for over 90% of mercury contamination in the Great Lakes (Gluckman, 2004) Further, EPA studies reveal that air pollution from coal-fired power plants triggers asthma attacks, bronchitis, and heart disease, and contributes to about 30,000 premature deaths a year (New source review/ coal-fired power plants)."

Abstract
The paper discusses how plants not only provide pleasing scenery but are essential sources of food and oxygen too. The paper describes how the seed develops from an ovule after a fertilization process has taken place. The paper discusses the plant's two organ system; the shoot and the root system. The paper relates that leaves contain the chlorophyll and are the most important part of the plant when it comes to photosynthesis. The paper points out that flowers are not part of every plant, but when they are present they have reproductive organs.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The plant gets its beginnings from a seed. The seed develops from an ovule after a fertilization process has taken place. Plant life begins much in the same way that human life begins. Each seed includes an embryo, a food source and a protective outer coating. It can lay dormant for a period of time before germination occurs (Plant structure
http://www.sparknotes.com/biology/plants/plantstructures/summary.html). The structure of the plant system is very similar to the human system when it comes to the necessary elements for pollination and reproduction."

Plant Defense Mechanisms, 2002.
An overview of the many plant defense mechanisms from structural and metabolic defenses to biotechnology.
2,456 words (approx. 9.8 pages), 14 sources, MLA, $ 74.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Plants have developed their own unique methods to protect themselves from threats and without these defenses would perish. These defenses range from natural defenses that plants have developed over time such as thorns or waxy leaves to bio-engineered defenses where the plants have molecularly altered defenses. This paper highlights the key plant defense mechanisms including structural, metabolic, defenses against insects, defenses against pathogens and disease resistant genes. It also examines biotechnology including case studies and discusses its future.
From the Paper
"When an insect attacks a plant, the attack signals the plant to produce insect toxins. These toxins may have varying effects on insects. The effects may range from simply repelling inspects to inhibiting the insects development. The compound within plants that signals them to release the toxins is called systemin. Systemin activates two genes that in turn produce proteinase inhibitors. Insects use proteinase to digest proteins. When the plant releases the proteinase inhibitors, it prevents the insect?s ability to digest the plant?s proteins."

Abstract
This paper gives an overview of genetic engineering in plants that is geared toward inducing virus resistance. Several methods of achieving viral resistance in plants through genetic engineering are detailed, as well as considerations of using these methods. Methods covered include post-transcriptional gene silencing, coat-protein-mediated resistance, ribosomal inactivating proteins, resistance genes and plantibodies. The paper also discusses both risks and benefits of using genetic engineering in plants and provides case studies of successful implementation of genetically engineered virus resistance in crop plants such as papaya and potato.
From the Paper
"As the upward trend of the human population in the world today continues, the demand for sufficient food sources continues to grow as well. In undeveloped countries especially, the need for productive and healthy crops that can sustain a growing human population is not always met. In India, China and many African nations where hunger is a very real issue, the problem of food shortages can be greatly exacerbated by plant diseases and viruses, which can kill almost an entire field of crop of an unlucky or unprepared farmer. With the advent of genetic engineering, however, the possibility of creating plants with built-in genetic defenses against such devastating diseases has become very real, and in many cases has already been accomplished. A wide variety of strategies for engineering viral resistance in plants have been developed, and researchers have successfully utilized these strategies in creating plants resistant to papaya ringspot virus (PRSV) and potato virus Y (PVY), among others."

Abstract
Many years ago, America was known as a Christian nation. The paper argues, however, that in modern society, America is in a religious era in which individuals create their own belief and value systems instead of listening to God's teachings. The amount of churchgoers in America today is rapidly decreasing as churches fail and close every day. This paper examines the process of church planting whereby new churches are built and established churches that need to be helped are revitalized. The paper looks at church planting strategies, steps involved in church planting and the move of the baby-boomer generation away from the church movement.
From the Paper
"Church planters should give converts small tasks to do, preparing them and training them to function in the new church and develop their spiritual gifts. The process grows as they are entrusted with greater responsibility. Training becomes more extensive as they continue to grow and possibly even take leadership roles. Next, the church planter should prepare to publicly launch the church. Signs, maps, order of service, special events specifications, sign up cards, and more must all be prepared before the launching date."

The Hostas Plant, 2008.
A discussion on the Hostas plant, a hardy, easily adaptable herbaceous perennial, that is tolerant of shade.
1,480 words (approx. 5.9 pages), 5 sources, APA, $ 48.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper introduces, discusses and analyzes the topic of regional ornamental perennial plants. The paper specifically discusses the Hostas, a group of ornamental shade plants with interesting leaf color and patterns that are perennial plants and are easy to grow. The paper concludes that the adaptability of Hostas make them perfect for any garden, no matter where it is located, and with their beautiful colors and blooms, they are a pleasure to look at as well as grow.
From the Paper
"Optimal growth requires several environmental factors, and these can differ from species to species. Hostas are relatively easy to grow and maintain, which helps them maintain their popularity in the garden. Most Hostas do not need to be divided, as many other perennials do (think of daylilies and irises, for example). However, most Hostas do not reproduce well from seed, and so division is the preferred method of propagating these plants. They also do not need constant watering and fertilizing. Instead, they can take regular fertilizing, as two Hosta experts note. They note gardeners should use "A balanced granular fertilizer such as 10-10-10 or 5-10-5 can be applied early in the spring, followed by an application six weeks later, followed by a midsummer application."
