Abstract
This paper proposes a study to comparatively assess the relative effectiveness of three models for the prediction of digoxin concentration in subjects receiving digoxin under physician order. It looks at how various approaches to the prediction of digoxin concentration have been advanced over the years and how several of these approaches have developed relatively widespread acceptance. It shows how controversy has surrounded these for the reason that such predictions frequently are not as accurate as required for optimal benefits in clinical applications and how as a consequence of the unreliability of these procedures, patients frequently were placed at risk. It provides an introduction, objective and hypothesis and an analysis of the results.
From the Paper
"Most earlier models for the prediction of digoxin concentration were based on an assumption of a steady-state condition. This assumption of a steady-state condition led to hypotheses concerning predicted and observed digoxin concentration based on a research question that asked, in effect: Are predicted and observed values different? An important methodological assumption in these earlier models that was incorporated into hypotheses was that, if predicted and observed digoxin concentration levels were not different, then they were the same. The prediction model developed by Williams, et al. dropped the assumption of a steady-state condition, which allowed the revision of the research question to one that the following: Are predicted and observed values the same?4 By asking if predicted and observed values are the same, outcomes of hypothesis testing need not be inferred on the basis of an assumption of a steady-state condition."

Abstract
This paper discusses that concerns have been raised about a rising concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The paper explains that the issue has been examined using climate models, such as the one called EDGCM based on a 120 year long model run, starting in 1985 with an increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The paper relates that a global climate model such as this allows for a study of climates in the past present and future.
From the Paper
"Such computer-driven models are one of the primary tools now used in climate research. The EDGCM model also serves as a learning tool for students and provides data to the public in a more easily-accessed manner than is true of some other models ("EDGCM: The Project" paras. 1-3)."

Concentration of Political Influence, 2002.
Examines how the concentration of wealth in Canada is contribution to political influence which governs the market.

Abstract
It appears to be quite certain that the concentration of financial wealth in Canada is leading to a concentration of political influence. One disturbing development in our democracy is that the political state is starting to be governed more by the market than by the sentiments of the voters - even though the market is supposed to be a representation of the peoples' preferences. But in the end, the state has become a symbolic representation of the vested economic interests of one small, but powerful constituency of society.

The Concentration Ratio, 2005.
This paper evaluates issues relating to concentration ratios in business practice.
675 words (approx. 2.7 pages), 3 sources, $ 26.95

Abstract
This paper defines the concentration ratio as the "percentage of market share owned by the largest firms in an industry". The author points out that concentration ratios in business practice emphasize the importance of market competitiveness and the number of firms within a given industry. The paper relates that it is expected that firms will be affected by variables such as prices, brand recognition and product quality in their efforts to promote competition and market effectiveness.
From the Paper
"In a business environment that incorporates the use of concentration ratios, it is necessary to understand the meaning of this term and its application to modern business principles. The concentration ratio is defined as the "percentage of market share owned by the largest firms in an industry" (QuickMBA, 2004). In the example given, it is necessary to consider that a given industry segment with a particular number of firms is typically very competitive, or it is not as relevant in the overall marketing mix (QuickMBA, 2004). Therefore, the example provides a concentration ratio of 30% for the top 20 firms, or CR20. This type of ratio demonstrates that these firms own 30% of the total market share within this industry, and in an analytical sense, this is a relatively low level of competition amongst these firms."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the lives of those living in Nazi concentration camps during the Holocaust. The purpose of this paper is to try and show the inhuman brutality of these concentration camps. The paper further discusses the extermination camps that were built in 1942 with the purpose of murdering Jews.
From the Paper
" Many prisoners eventually became what were known as Muselmanner. The Muselmanner are persons destroyed, devastated, shattered wrecks strung between life and death. They are the victims of a stepwise annihilation of human beings. The mere external appearance of the Muselmanner bespoke profound dehumanization. In a final stage of emaciation, their skeletons were enveloped by flaccid, parchmentlike sheaths of skin, edema had formed on their feet and thighs, their posterior muscles had collapsed. Their skulls seemed elongated; their noses dripped constantly, mucus running down their chins. Their eyeballs had sunk deep into their sockets; their gaze was glazed. Their limbs moved slowly, hesitantly, almost mechanically. They exuded a penetrating, acrid odor; sweat, urine, liquid feces trickled down their legs. The rags that covered their freezing frames were full of lice; their skin was covered with scabies. Most suffered from diarrhea. They ate anything they could lay their hands on--moldy bread, cheese wriggling with worms, raw bits of turnip, garbage fished from the bins. "

"Motor safety is an essential component in securing transportation systems in countries throughout the world. Over the past 40 years, motor safety has become a chief concern for transportation departments around the globe. These transportation departments have instituted regulations that place safety at the forefront. These regulations include the installation of and mandatory wearing of seatbelts and certain restrictions on gas emissions. In recent years, transportation departments have began to focus on distractions that may hinder driver concentration. Such distractions such as Cell Phone Usage while driving a motor vehicle have been banned in some areas."

"Barriers to exit refer to the costs that would be incurred by a firm should that firm decide to stop participating in a given market. Thus, a market in which participating firms (1) are required to make a high cost investment in equipment and/or facilities, and (2) where such equipment and/or facilities may not (a) be easily transferable by a firm to use for other purposes, or (b) quickly sold without significant loss may be said to be characterized by barriers to exit. Market contestability is defined primarily in the context of ease of exit, and ease of exit is directly related to the barriers to exit character of a market. When a firm can leave an industry or market at little or no cost to the firm, the market is said to be contestable."

Abstract
This paper explains that recent changes in swine-management practices, concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs), have resulted in a growing controversy surrounding the environmental and public health effects of modern swine production. The author points out two problems in swine-management practices, including an increase in health hazards because of the confined spaces, and public relations problems for the industry, particularly in the communities immediately situated near such facilities. The paper relates that the industry deal with these issues by using sound environmental health practices in the workplace and by providing anaerobic lagoons to help remediate the large amount of biological wastes that are inevitably generated at such CAFOs.

"During the last half of the 20th century, agricultural growth and development in the United States has become more closely linked to a wide range of social and environmental problems. Partially because of the industrialization of farming and food production, soil and water resources have been degraded, wildlife habitats have been destroyed, and rural communities have been dissolved and uprooted.The scale, mechanization, specialization, capital-intensity, and chemical-intensity of agricultural production have dramatically increased, with the result that large agribusinesses and individual farm operators have come under greater environmental scrutiny associated with the broader ?greening? of public opinion since 1970."

Abstract
The paper discusses concentration camps built by Hitler's Germany in WWII for Jews as well as other prisoners. It provides a brief overview of the history of anti-semitism in Germany of the time, including Kristallnacht, and describes life as it was for prisoners in the camps.
From the Paper
"The living conditions in both camps could be classified as dismal at best. The poor living conditions caused contagious diseases to spread like wild fire throughout the camps. In Auschwitz I, the prisoners lived in brick barracks with hundreds of three leveled bunk beds. The barracks did not have heating or any sanitary components to them. The barracks were extremely overcrowded, had leaking roofs, and there were rats running all over the place.
"While in the camps, prisoners received three meager meals a day. If they were performing "light" labor they would be given 1,300 calories of food a day. If they were doing more demanding work they would be fed 1,700 calories a day. As a result of being fed a very small amount of food in relation to the amount of work they were doing, many prisoners suffered from malnutrition and a form of physical deterioration they referred to as the "Muzulman state"."

Abstract
This paper examines how calcium is a crucial component of the function of the nervous, cardiac and musculoskeletal system and how there are often stresses on the calcium levels in the plasma as various systems require more calcium than normal. It focuses on the regulation of the total body calcium levels, the mechanisms and levels of complexity involved as well as touching on some of the clinical conditions that arise when this system does not function effectively.
From the Paper
"The importance of the PTH secretion is evident in deficient systems. In hypoparathyroidism, not enough PTH is present to respond adequately to the fall in Ca. This tends to cause hypocalcaemic problems, including tetany. This is also true for pseudohypoparathyroidism, where there is a defect bin the PTH receptors, preventing the PTH from having an effect. There are also problems associated with excess PTH causing hypercalcaemia. These conditions include hyperparathyroidism arising from tumours that secrete excess PTH. These patients not only have hypercalcaemia, but often have osteoporosis, urinary stones and sluggish CNS."

Abstract
Michael Ignatieff's 2000 Massey lecture highlighted Canada as a rights society. This is a consequence of the geographic concentration of the three founding peoples. The result has been conflicts between the federal and provincial governments and between natives and provincial governments. This discussion focuses on the assertion that 'land claims' are an avenue to settlement of these issues. It links establishment of a territorial base to political autonomy.

Abstract
This paper explains that the basis for micro-marketing through website interaction and blogging help bring about a greater diversity in how advertising can be accomplished with media markets. The basis for a post-modern global community has been the driving force allowing for more community interaction and diversity. This form of advertising works within new modes of information that depend more on people and multi-cultural ways of communication, rather than the automaton of TV commercials and newspaper ads.
From the Paper
"By realizing the depth and scope of the American military industrial complex, links can be made to the news agencies that support this agenda in journalistic reporting. In many ways, the use of pro-war propaganda is used to help news agencies to work adjacently within the government in supporting a biased form norm in news reporting."

From the Paper
"The Nazi concentration camps of World War II were, intentionally or not, a social experiment in which human beings were subjected to extraordinary circumstances. The behavior of camp inmates may reveal something about human nature, or what happens when a conventional way of life, with its attendant social institutions and habits, is impossible. To determine whether the camps do in fact provide insight into human nature, three books will be discussed and compared: ?Survival in Auschwitz? by Primo Levi, ?This Way for the Gas, Ladies and Gentlemen? by Tadeusz Borowski, and ?Facing the Extreme? by Tzvetan Todorov.
Primo Levi lived in Auschwitz for ten months during his youth; he recounts his personal experiences in the book ?Survival in Auschwitz.? Beyond the motivation of describing the atrocities he will"

From the Paper
"Enzymes play an important role as catalysts in cells, since most cellular reactions would occur much too slowly or not at all in the absence of enzymes. Enzymes act to increase the rate of a reaction by binding to substrates (the reactants) at the active site, orienting the reactants in the proper position to interact and thereby reducing the amount of activation energy required for molecular interaction. They are not consumed in the reaction. In this experiment, the effects of enzyme concentration, substrate concentration, pH, and heat upon the rate of hydrolysis of ONPG (the reactant) were studied."

Tetrahymena, 2008.
A review of the effects of different concentrations of aspirin on Tetrahymena feeding behavior.
1,315 words (approx. 5.3 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 44.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper states that Tetrahymena are model organisms that are commonly used to study their feeding behavior over various environments and preys. They are common holotrichic ciliates easily grown in the laboratory, using pure liquid cultures. They acquire their nutrients by ingesting smaller microbes such as bacteria and fungi. The paper comments on the tests performed on Tetrahymena phagocytosis of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in the presence of different concentrations of aspirin. The paper records that after treatment, the cells were analyzed by flow cytometer via computer program, ColorCell software, when percent phagocytosis were identified. It was originally thought that aspirin would decrease the phagocytotic ability of Tetrahymena; however, the data concluded that aspirin does not alter this ability over a period of 4 minutes. The paper states that further analysis is necessary with longer treatment period and using various other drugs.

"Utilizing such power technology, we are now able to study the feeding behavior of our model organism, Tetrahymena sp., using FITC-labeled yeast and determine if the prey has been phagocytized. We will label Saccharomyces cerevisiae with FITC dye and detect the ingestion under different environments. So we would like to explore the following questions: How long does it take for Tetrahymena to ingest food? And, do different concentrations of aspirin affect Tetrahymena feeding behavior? "
