Conclusion
From the Paper
"Provided that we have formerly established contracts with partners who manufacture and distribute Dove products, all that is being done is adding a new product to the Dove line. Because of this our costs are going to be reasonably low since we already have factories, contacts, contracts and the majority of ingredients/materials needed. We will obviously incur ad campaign costs which can be funded through the profits of Dove hair care, our existing partners, the advertising budget (already established on a yearly basis), and our creditors. What makes this venture of Dove hair care into Spain so attractive is the procedures that usually make this kind project costly and complex, do not exist in this particular situation. This project is virtually trouble-free because we already went through these grueling procedures in 1989 when we started manufacturing Dove in Spain."

Future Advances in DNA Testing
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The science of hair comparison has been used in thousands of criminal cases all over the United States for decades. Hair, because of its widespread presence at crime scenes, has great evidentiary value in forensic science. Even if a suspect has tried to clean the crime scene of any evidence such as personal possessions, fingerprints or footprints, hair strands always seem to stick in the matter found in that area. Since hair is so personal to individuals, it serves as a great indicator of who was there. The forensic testing of hair strands has very early roots. It was first used as evidence in 1861, but did not gain scientific acceptance until after the turn of century, and public acceptance until the late 1950's. During this time the public acceptance of hair testing was widespread, and police received enormous support for any evidence consisting of hair strands."

Abstract
The paper shows how hair science is a direct result of commercial interest in the industry, and its important role in economics and the social world, which has fostered its profound development over the last century. The hair care industry is a multi-million dollar business with serious economic, technological, social, and fashion attributes. Hair styles have changed dramatically, serving as part of the socio-cultural process of identity construction, gender relations, and political expression. Likewise, they have been as influenced by the social constructions they nurture. The paper examines the last half of the century which has witnessed the most development in hair science, with technical advancement evident in the at-home focus of many products, the introduction of chemical understandings to hair care, and the infrastructural focus on speed and results that has characterized the digital revolution.
Outline:
Introduction
Social and Anthropological Changes
Fashion Follows Societal Norms and Recognition
Beauty at the Turn of the Century
The Great Depression
At Home Styling: Science and Industry in the Middle of the Century
Industrial Growth Spurs Technological Advancement
Market Responds to Social and Consumer Forces
Works Cited
From the Paper
"At the dawn of the century, the start of the 1900s ushered out the very end of the Victorian era. Known most for its political and revolutionary socio-cultural transformations, the Victorian era was also one of excess, superficial concentration, and popular culture. Hair was an integral part of the culture. "While women's hair, particularly when it is golden, has always been a Western preoccupation, for the Victorians it became an obsession." This infatuation with hair was neither a passing fad nor just an aesthetic attention, but it was a mechanism of societal imagery, assertion of gender norms, and the greater product of cultural symbols."

Abstract
This paper explains that, because consumers are bombarded each day by thousands of messages, the challenge for advertisers is not only to get their advertisements noticed but also to have consumers remember them. The author points out that, through global market research, Dove was able to identify an emotional issue amongst its target market that, surprisingly, was very consistent both globally and culturally. The paper discusses the way that Dove's Campaign for Real Beauty used an eye-catching and discussion provoking message plus promoted the sharing of ideas among consumers with similar interests. The author stresses that this interactive meeting of real people and the subsequent exchanging of ideas, experiences and support is what made the campaign a true marketing success. The paper includes many color illustration and charts.

"Lonesome Dove", 2006.
This paper discusses the theme of the quest in "Lonesome Dove" by Larry McMurtry.

Abstract
This paper explains that Larry McMurtry's "Lonesome Dove, which won the 1986 Pulitzer Prize for fiction, is filled with scenes of western action and colorful western characters of all kinds; however, it is really about the problems and aspirations that challenge people in almost any time or place. The author points out that, when defining the word "quest" as an adventurous journey, the plot of "Lonesome Dove" has at least two literal quests: (1) The central narrative concerning the main characters' efforts to drive cattle from their home in Texas to a new frontier in Montana and (2) the journey of one main characters to fulfill the last wish of the other main character by taking his dead body back to Texas for burial. The paper relates that, when "quest" is defined as a pursuit, the entire novel can be seen as a quest in which the characters pursue things they don't have but deeply need or want such as trying to forget terrible past realities.
From the Paper
"Captain Call's quest to bury his friend back in Texas is successful, but it is marked by self-discoveries he cannot tolerate. Before departing for the long trek back to Texas, Call leaves young Newt Dobbs in charge of the new Montana ranch. He also gives him his rifle, his favorite horse, and his father's watch. He does these things because he is not sure he will ever return and because Newt is his son. But even then, after years, after all that has happened, including the death of his best friend, Call cannot bring himself to admit to this young man that he is Call's illegitimate child by a prostitute mother. For much of the remainder of the book, Call berates himself for his dishonesty and his hypocrisy--remember that he has never tolerated dishonesty in others."

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how hairs and fibers are used in forensic research. The author explains the properties of hair, and how knowing the many varieties can help in solving a crime. Similarly, the author provides charts of various fibers and explains how a scientist can utilize this information.
From the Paper
"You brush up against countless people and surfaces over the course of a day. Each one leaves remnants of the contact- including fibers and hair. You pick hairs off of your clothing, clean a hairbrush, or cut loose threads from a garment; all these tiny items can be identifiable in virtually any situation. In the cases of violence or struggle, large transfers of both take place; an attacker pulls a victim?s hair out, a victim grabs at an attacker?s shirt and rips it, getting fibers under his or her nails, etc. Each piece of this minute evidence provides a means of identification and the ability to solve a crime."

Poet Rita Dove, 2004.
This paper discusses Rita Dove, perhaps the most representative African-American poet of our times and one of the most important poets of the 20th century in the United States.
1,855 words (approx. 7.4 pages), 6 sources, MLA, $ 59.95

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that Rita Dove talks about her discovery of verse early in her childhood in the home of culture-loving parents who had ?two half-walls of bookshelves? and encouraged the children to read whatever they wanted, reading simply for the pleasure of it rather than for the critical interpretations. The author points out that her works act in several different directions: observation, life experience, tradition, heritage, dream, reflection, and metaphor. The paper relates that several critical considerations on the form of Rita Dove?s poetry have shown that, while being ?sensitive to the nuances of language, rhythm, and meter?, she doesn?t shy away from experimenting with different poetic formats, such as sonnets, even if she doesn?t necessarily respect the strict Shakespearean format.
From the Paper
"Her first collection of poetry, "The Yellow House on the Corner", was published in 1980, and many other literary works followed throughout the 80s and 90s, including a novel "Through the Ivory Gate" in 1992 and a verse drama "The Darker Face of Earth" in 1994. Her entire literary performance was rewarded with a Pulitzer Prize in 1987, thus becoming the second African-American woman to receive this award, as recognition of her prestigious writings."

Dove, Hughes and Dickinson, 2006.
This paper examines the poetry of Rita Dove, Langston Hughes and Emily Dickinson.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The writer of the paper recommends the poetry of Rita Dove, Langston Hughes and Emily Dickinson. Rita Dove's poems "Parsley" and "Hanneker" have a secretive manner that leads the reader on with intrigue. Langston Hughes's poems "Mulatto" and "Democracy" each show the author's passions and convictions through intense associations. Finally, Emily Dickinson's "A Narrow Fellow in the Grass" and "Some Keep the Sabbath Going to Church" create wonderful images in an elusive, playful manner.
From the Paper
"All six poems present different moods and styles, yet each offers a great deal of substance and creativity to the reader. When first reading Rita Dove's poem "Parsley," it is apparent that some greater plot exists within the poem. Something important is happening between the lines as "El General / searches for a word" (Dove, "Parsley" 4-5)."

Hair and Fiber Analysis, 2004.
A look at the various comparison and identification techniques for hair and fibers and their role as physical evidence.

Abstract
This paper discusses the roles of hair and fibers as physical evidence in forensic science. It concentrates on the physical composition, identification methods, recovery techniques and implications as evidence. This forensic science research paper also provides an analytical discussion of the implications that the various methods have in the field of criminology.
From the Paper
"Hair and fibers are superficially similar. They may frequently be found together as trace evidence, and the methods of studying them are often similar. In fact, hair and fibers are quite different: Hair as an appendage of human or animal skin, growing out of an organ known as the hair follicle; fibers are strands of natural or manufactured material. Some animal-hair coverings such as wool and mohair are classified as natural fibers, but such issues of terminology are just that and do not affect the process of identification. Although hair is discovered as evidence at many crime scenes and often appears on the bodies of victims of violence, it represents class or general evidence, rather than individual evidence. One person?s hair cannot yet be individualized to the exclusion of anyone else, although DNA research, which involves testing the root of the hair, may make near individualization possible. Hair is valuable evidence and much can be learned from a few strands. It also resists chemical decomposition and retains its structural features for a long time. In contrast to hair, fibers and cloth fragments offer much greater evidential value because they incorporate numerous variables. These include the number of fibers in each strand, the diameter of strands and fibers, the direction and number of twists, the type of weave, the dye content, as well as the presence of any foreign material that may be adherent to fibers or embedded among them."

Alopecia, 2005.
A discussion of alopecia areata, a hair loss disorder.
2,304 words (approx. 9.2 pages), 10 sources, MLA, $ 71.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Alopecia areata is a systemic hair loss disorder, which affects roughly around 4.7 million people in the United States alone. The paper explains that it is characterized as an autoimmune disease that leads to either localized or complete hair loss. The effects of the disease may either be permanent or reversible depending on the nature and extent of damage to the hair follicles. It is believed that both genetic as well as environmental factors have an influence in the onset of the condition. This paper provides a brief overview of the different types of alopecia and discusses in detail the possible pathophysiology and the treatment options for the disease.
Introduction
Alopecia (Different Types)
Hair Follicles (Complex Morphognesis)
Androgenic Alopecia
Molecular Pathology of AGA
Immunology of Alopecia Areata
Microcirculation in Scalp Tissues
Treatment for Alopecia (Cortisones and Anti Inflammatory and Immunotherapy Drugs)
Cosmetic Surgery
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Alopecia is a disease triggered by the immune response of the body, which attacks and alters the normal development cycle of the hair follicles. Normally each hair follicle is in any one of the following three stages of life cycle namely anagen (growth phase), catagen (regression phase) and telogen (resting phase). Alopecia areata refers to the significant hair loss observed due to the immune response against the hair follicles in the anagen stage, resulting in severe reduction or complete stoppage of the hair growth phase. When the hair loss is observed throughout the body it is called as alopecia universalis. When complete hair loss is confined to the head, the condition is referred to as Alopecia totalis while hair loss that is localized and observed as patchy bald regions is known as Alopecia areata.

Abstract
This paper describes alopecia areata, a systematic hair loss disorder, as a disease that is independent of race, gender or age, hence affected people represent a wide and diverse group. The writer details the effects of the disease which can be either permanent or reversible depending on the nature and extent of damage to the hair follicles. It is believed that both genetic and environmental factors have an influence in the onset of the condition. While there is no complete cure as of yet for alopecia, treatment is primarily aimed at slowing down and containing the severity of the symptoms. This paper also discusses the psychological devastation suffered by the affected person which at times can be debilitating. This paper contains a brief yet concise overview of the various types of alopecia as well as the possible treatment options available.

Bibliography
From the Paper
"Research into the pathophysiology of AGA though still inconclusive, has offered enough insight and has identified the important role of androgens in the progressive miniaturization of the hair follicles leading to baldness. Testosterone and its metabolite dihydrotestosterone (DHT) in particular have been directly related as causative factors. The presence of the enzyme 5[Alpha]-reductase is essential for the catalytic reduction of testosterone into the more potent form of DHT. Chromosome 2p has the gene necessary for encoding 5[Alpha]-reductase. Extensive studies conducted on people suffering from AGA have revealed an excess of 5[Alpha]-reductase, and consequently greater amounts of DHT. DHT affects the hair follicles by binding with the dermal papilla cells creating androgen receptor complexes. Androgen receptors act as transcription factors and are directly involved in the synthesis of the protein substances that affect the hair follicles."

Abstract
This paper reviews Rita Dove's "Adolescence", which is a collection of three poems presenting the subject's teenage years as a birth of dark truths and of a frightening, sexual awakening. The paper examines the way in which Dove arranges the poems and the language that she uses in "Adolescence" to present these aspects of the teenage years.
From the Paper
"Adolescence is a pivotal time in every person's life. It, whether one is conscious of it or not, largely shapes our views and actions following those quick years. In Rita Dove's, "Adolescence" she uses three sole pieces with their own defined arrangements and language thus presenting the subject's teenage years as just that: a birth of dark truths, of a frightening, sexual awakening."

Abstract
This paper analyzes Petrarch's sonnet "She Let her Gold Hair Scatter in the Breeze" (Petrarchan sonnet 90). It describes the images portrayed in the poem, as well as the flow of the stanzas. The paper describes the tone of the sonnet and discusses what this portrays. The paper gives examples from the sonnet to illustrate its points and themes.
From the Paper
"Another translation of these lines, which is mentioned due to the fact that it makes the meaning slightly clearer, is as follows: "and should she not be such now, the wound is not healed by unstringing the bow." (Spiller 52) In other words the wound or hurt that the unrequited love has created in the protagonist is not healed, even though the love itself is gone or the "bow is slack". The loss of the love one or her distancing herself from him has in effect not stemmed or reduced the intensity of his passion and love for her. In contrast, as has been suggested throughout this analysis, the distance from the loved one has in fact increased the intensity of desire and love. The poem therefore explores the intensification of desire through distance and loss. It should also be noted that the metaphor of the bow and arrow and the classic allusion to love that this image suggests, also helps to express the central meaning go the poem."
