Abstract
This paper examines how there are special laws protecting both the consumer and the worker who have to deal with electricity, particularly California Public Utilities section 8031 and 8033. It looks at how any person who is injured by an electrical accident can sue if the accident was caused by the negligence or wrongdoing of another. It also discusses how, in the case of the electric companies, they must make frequent inspections to insure that the lines are not defective or pose a threat to the safety of the consume ; they are responsible for protecting against any forces of nature or foreseeable threats that could result in injury or death. It also shows how, according to the law, the power company has a ?non-delegable? duty to construct and maintain its facilities in a safe condition.
From the Paper
"In the case of Pappert v. San Diego Gas & Electric (186 cal. Rptr 847), the plaintiff. Susan A. Pappert and her children, appealed the wrongful death of her husband, Charles, arising from his electrocution while trying to cut a tree close to the uninsulated 12,000-volt power line. Were the findings correct in stating that SDG&E could not have reasonably foreseen that the defendant?s own acts would cause him harm? It cannot be proved that the tree pruner ever came in contact with the power line because no one witnessed it. So therefore, who can say what truly happened? There are some that say the tree itself may have been energized by the wire."

Abstract
This paper explains why a woman's views that abortion in the early stages of pregnancy is permissible but that the death penalty is never permissible are congruent and consistent from a moral and ethical standpoint.
From the Paper
"Though Abby rejects the application of the death penalty in all instances she does advocate the permissibility of abortion in the early stages. Despite the seeming contradiction of ethics or morals in these views, Abby's views on abortion and the death penalty are more congruent than they might initially appear. This is because abortion is part of a woman's overall reproductive rights guaranteed by law while the death penalty is often applied in a biased manner and represents state-sanctioned homicide..."

Abstract
The following paper examines how the news media has been changed from a brave, controversy-seeking faction to a community of self-censoring, congress-fearing puppets of whom the politically powerful are the puppeteers. The writer argues that the media is not the same establishment that once looked for the extra, but it is merely a reserved, timid society, a society that has ignored its once unquenchable thirst for the truth in order to satisfy its hunger for the more material things, money and power.
From the Paper
"It is a calm, cold morning in Maine and the news is blaring in one household. The family hears that there has been another violent plane crash. Little Jimmy is quaking in his shoes, because he knows that the story will be covered constantly for most of the week, if not longer. Violent images will be shown on the television that his parents bought for Jimmy's favorite educational television shows. Jimmy decides to change the channel, but almost all of the channels are covering the same information about the plane crash. Then, an image of a man who died in the crash appears on television. Little Jimmy bursts into tears. Jimmy grows up to detest the news, and to hate plane crashes. Why must the news cover tragedies so extensively?"

Abstract
This paper discusses the unfortunately common occurrence of children being severely injured in home-related accidents. The paper contends that the majority of these accidents could have been prevented by implementing minimal safety measures. Statistics are provided regarding the number of children injured in accidents within the home in the United Kingdom. The paper outlines basic safety measures that should be taken to prevent these accidents.
From the Paper
"It is an unfortunate fact that accidents affect young children within their own homes everywhere in the world, and if the adults had taken a mite more care and acted more responsibly, countless number of lives would have been saved, and quite a few instances of injury involving small children could have been prevented. In the United Kingdom alone, it is reported that about 320 children under the age of fourteen died of home-related accidents, mainly by poisoning and injuries due to various other reasons, in the year 2002. This is a figure that shows that more children die due to home-related accidents than of fatal diseases like leukemia and meningitis. These are the types of accidents that may occur to a child within the home: a fall or a trip, either at the same level, or from one level to another. Burns and scalds was another major risk within the home, and either hot drinks or fires caused most of these accidents. Poisoning was another important cause for the death of small children, and this is something that can be easily prevented with the minimum amount of safety measures.

From the Paper
"Knowledge of electricity is certainly not new. The fact that amber ("electra" in Greek) when rubbed will attract light objects has been well established for more than 2,000 years. Likewise, the unique properties of the lodestone or magnet have been widely known and used by mankind for a wide variety of purposes for over 1,000 years; however, it was not until the eighteenth century, that significant progress was made in the understanding and use of electrical energy (Electronics 1). Today, electrical engineering embraces a wide range of sciences and disciplines, and the applications for such processes continue to be identified and expanded."

Abstract
This paper discusses how with the advent of electricity in the 19th Century, there came many changes to the field of medicine. Some of these were quack remedies or methods (such as electroshock therapy) which have fallen out of favor. Yet, today, there are still applications for electricity and electrical stimulation that are used in medicine. This paper summarizes the research and activity being done regarding the following topics: electricity in medicine, electrophysiology, electrotherapeutics, magnetic fields and neural stimulation. The paper further relates each of these areas to the human brain.

Abstract
This paper explores a 2001 study of aircraft accident indicators, including pilot age, gender, education, flying experience, previous accident involvement and attitudes toward flying. The paper examines the study's methodology and findings in each of these areas before focusing on the role of the pilot's personality on airplane crashes. The paper shows how research indicates that personality is involved in decisions to stick to a flight plan regardless of weather, or abandon it in. The paper also examines whether gain (personal safety) or loss (money, time) is instrumental in those situations and concludes that these decisions do not disprove the function of personality, but rather reinforce it -- especially in light of the equivocal results of simulation experiments designed to test the hypothesis that it is the gain/loss continuum alone that determines whether a pilot will continue or abandon a flight plan in the presence of adverse weather information.
From the Paper
"Hunter used data obtained in a national survey of pilots c completed in 1994 with the purpose of examining the validity of measure for predicting accidents and those that occurred after. Hunter used those finding to address two issues: "the relationships among the various measures and accident involvement" (Hunger, 2001, p. 509+). The population Hunter had at his disposal was significant; 561,485 active pilots (those who had been issued a valid airman medical certificate in the preceding 25 months) were used to draw 19,657 participants representing a cross-section of private, commercial and airline transport certificate holders. Those participants then filled out an extensive questionnaire, and, while it was not a personality inventory per se, it did contain 27 questions concerning attitudes about flying."

Abstract
This paper discusses many forms of driver inattention on the road today. The paper states that Americans, and other drivers around the world, treat their cars like an extension of their homes: Eating, drinking, watching movies, talking on the phone, putting on make-up and even brushing their teeth in their cars, while driving. The author feels that the causes of these behaviors are our busy lifestyle, where we try to cram too much into each day.
From the Paper
"Road rage is a relatively new problem to the country's drivers, and it has affected everyone who ever sits down behind the wheel. A study by the American Automobile Association's Foundation for Traffic Safety found a 51 percent increase between 1990 and 1996 in incidents of motorists behaving in an overtly hostile manner. They found that road rage has grown over 7 percent in the 90s'. "At least 1,500 men, women, and children are seriously injured or killed each year in the United States as a result of senseless traffic disputes and altercations."

Abstract
This research paper investigates the affects of using capacitors to manage the disruptive harmful effects of VSDs to the power supply flow and evaluates factors that affect the cost?benefit ratio of these devices.
From the Paper
"Electrical equipment generically termed ?non-linear load?, such as variable speed drives (VSDs), uninterruptible power supplies (UPSs), computer power supplies, etc. have a detrimental effect on the quality of the supply to which they are connected. When determining power quality and taking any appropriate measures, it is common practice to monitor the point of common coupling (PCC) and this is often accepted as the point at which power comes into an establishment, i.e. the point of metering."

From the Paper
"Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of accidental death in the United States ("Statistical Abstracts" and "International"). In 1988, 62,237 licensed drivers were involved in fatal motor-vehicle accidents. Statistics show that alcohol is a major contributing factor in accidents but what about other elements such as geographic region, income and driver's age? Do these things contribute to the possibility of a fatal car crash, and if so, how? In this paper these questions are examined.
ACCIDENT FACTORS
Accident factors have been divided into three groups: epidemiologic Factors or factors which do not cause accidents or deaths but are related to the national distribution of traffic fatalities in the United States; causes of accidents, actual ... "
