From the Paper
"Erbium is one of many elements listed in the periodic table, a metallic chemical element specifically (Columbia 15785). Symbolized by the abbreviation Er, most credit the discovery of this element to a scientist named Carl G. Mosander, who although did not isolate the element, located it and separated it from "three oxide fractions" (Columbia 15785). It was not until 1934 that pure erbium was isolated from it's fractions by other scientists (Columbia 15785) allowing for greater exploration into its uses for commercial purposes."

Abstract
The paper describes how metals exist in the form of minerals in the earth's crust, a metal ore being a highly concentrated mineral form of the metal. The paper explains how extraction of metals from its ore depends upon the quality of the ore and that the ores obtained from the ground contain unwanted impurities called gangue. The paper discusses the various methods of extracting these impurities from the metal.
Table of Contents:
Concentration
a. Gravity Separation or Hydraulic Washing
b. Froth Flotation
c. Magnetic Separation
d. Chemical Separation
Roasting or Calcination
Reduction of Mineral to the Metal
a. Electrolytic Reduction
b. Chemical Reduction (Smelting)
c. Auto-reduction(Smelting)
Refining
From the Paper
In this method, a Wilfley table is used .It is a sloping table and its top is corrugated or riffled in the direction of the slope. The crushed ore is then placed on the top of this table, which is always kept vibrating. "Then water is made to flow across the table at right angles to the top. The lighter gangue particles are thrown upwards at every jerk and carried across the table by the stream of water, while the heavier ore particles move towards the bottom of the table. Thus separation takes place when the ore reaches the bottom. This method is useful for dense ores like Cassiterite (SnO2).

"INVESTING IN PRECIOUS METALS: AN ANALYTICAL AND COMPARATIVE ASSESSMENT
Introduction
Over the past decade, precious metals have taken a back seat to securities as the preferred investment vehicle by the majority of investors. The slippage in preference among investors, however, does not necessarily mean that investing in precious metals is not a good strategy for some investors.
This research provides an analytical and comparative assessment of precious metals as an investment vehicle. This assessment covers four precious metals - gold, palladium, platinum, and silver. The presentation of the findings of the assessment is in three major sections, as follows: (1) a comparison of the performance of the four precious metals ..."

Abstract
This paper discusses the environmental and human health effects of heavy metal contamination. The paper examines the sources of the heavy metals, transport of the heavy metals and the solutions to heavy metal contamination.
From the Paper
"Heavy metals are one of the most common environment pollutants. They come from a wide range of sources. For example, in a recent study of heavy metal contamination in Sydney, R. Snowdon and G.F. Birch note, Soils across the entire Iron Cove catchment are enriched in Cu, Pb, and Zn, but are substantially elevated in the north-east part of area, probably due to the location of old houses, past industry, and the convergence of major roads and railway lines (Snowdon and Birch 336). From this statement it seems that heavy metals are released into the environment from a number of human activities."

Abstract
The paper introduces the research by explaining that with a greater understanding of biochemistry comes greater knowledge about the interactions between living cells and abiotic elements, especially metals. The paper examines the current movement in the field of medicine to link the fields of biochemistry and inorganic chemistry in order to achieve a greater understanding of abiotic stress. This increases our level of knowledge about the effects of chemical exposures. The paper details the goals of medicine to find out if there is a real connection between heavy metal exposure/toxicity and disease beyond that which has been traditionally believed. The paper quotes research that links cancer and even children's risk factor scores to high levels of toxic metals.
From the Paper
"In recent years there has also been a stress in alternative medicine to assess and treat heavy metal toxicity in patients with generalized symptoms and the allopathic medicine has made strides to find out if there is a real connection between heavy metal exposure/toxicity and disease beyond that which has been traditionally believed. Another goal in medicine is to create a better understanding of the importance of diagnostic tools currently used to assess heavy metal levels, one of which in the midst of great controversy being hair analysis, which according to modern medicine is an ineffective way to screen for heavy metal toxicity in the manner it is being performed in the alternative medical arena. (Frisch, and Schwartz) The most important stress has then been to create better ways to ensure reliability of diagnostic procedures among patients with known exposure to heavy metals so chelation therapies can be created that actually reduce the blood load for heavy metals."

Abstract
The paper discusses how the purpose of the film "Full Metal Jacket" is different than that of the film "Raging Bull." The paper explains that in "Full Metal Jacket" the creation of an atmosphere is essentially more important then the narrative or story itself, while in "Raging Bull" the narrative structure and the story of an individual's life is at the artistic center of concern. In this light, the paper highlights the differences between the films, such as the usage of background and support elements and different approaches to technical issues such as lighting, camera angles and editing.
Outline:
Introduction
Full Metal Jacket
Raging Bull
From the Paper
"An analysis of these two films reveals that there are obvious differences in terms of their usage of background and support elements, such as setting and decor, as well as different approaches to technical issues such as lighting and camera angles and editing. These aspects of cinematic art are inextricably related to the style of the director as well as to the aims and intentions of the film. In any successful film aspects such as setting and environment are artistically linked to the various thematic and ideological undercurrents in the film. Background and set for example can be as important as script and acting in conveying certain moment of insight and perception in a film like Full Metal Jacket, for example. Therefore various aspects such as scenic environment, decor and sound should be borne in mind. A comprehsive analysis of a film cannot neglect these aspects and they are often integral to the shape and narrative trajectory of the film as a whole."

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses the Dowling Flexible Metals Company case in which the Dowling company developed with relative rapidity from its beginnings in a small garage. The paper describes how they started out as a company fabricating dyes for making minor component metal parts for automobiles. When it was decided that diversification was necessary, so as not to be tied so closely to the automobile, the company started to expand into new markets with new metal products. The paper examines how the company now has problems that need to be addressed.
From the Paper
"The Dowling Flexible Metals Company developed with relative rapidity from its beginnings in a small garage. What started out as a company fabricating dies for making minor component metal parts for automobiles. When it was decided that diversification was necessary so as not to be tied so closely to the automobile, the company started to expand into new markets with new metal products. The company grew rapidly after that and in 1980 found itself with greater size, more debt, and a number of problems that had not been addressed during the period of growth. The immediate issue is to examine the company and to recommend how to make things run better."

Abstract
This paper investigates why the promotion and sales of anglo-rock and heavy metal are less in France than in the USA. The music industry, the marketing of music and the research methodology are fully explained. The author reports that the research found that the differences were because of cultural factors. In France, lyrics are more important than the music. Therefore, because the French do not necessarily speak English, they are not especially interested in music whose lyrics are not understood. The author stresses the importance of knowing cultural preferences and behavior in international marketing because cross-cultural promotion cannot be standardized. Many color graphs and tables are included with the paper.

Metal Detectors, 2004.
This paper discusses metal detectors, the mainstays of building security.

Abstract
This paper explains that, since 9/11, countries with a high level of terrorism, such as Israel, use metal detectors, which were formerly used mainly in prisons, but are now used in airports and other public buildings. The author reports that there are three types of metal detectors in general use today, including walk-through, hand-held, and extended arm types. The paper relates that several newer technologies, such as back-scatter X-ray, millimeter wave analysis, and terahertz wave technology, are in various phases of development and deployment to supplement the basic equipment that has traditionally relied on magnetic induction fields and their interaction with electrically conductive and magnetically permeable materials.
From the Paper
"Most metal detectors utilize an electromagnetic field generated by passing an electric current through a wire coil. In the case of walk-through metal detectors, the electromagnetic field is projected in the form of a wall between the borders formed by the equipment; hand-held devices project a circular field surrounding the length of the device. In the case of walk through detectors, subjects (and any potential targets) pass completely through the electromagnetic field, whereas hand-held devices are employed by passing them close enough to potential targets to come within the known dimensions of the magnetic field surrounding the device. Extended arm detectors function exactly the same as hand-held devices, except that their design allows them to be more easily deployed to bring their electromagnetic field closer to the ground for their specific use in detecting buried weapons or contraband."

From the Paper
"The researcher intends to conduct a qualitative study of the literature currently available with regard to the economy and the US dollar vs. the European euro. The intent will be to develop a well thought out and grounded theory that explains the exact relationship between the US dollar and the European market for metals. Specifically the researcher will attempt to determine what if any action is necessary to help boost the US economy and stimulate a more productive metal industry. Studies suggest that the metal industry has been in decline for a number of years. This study will attempt to determine what action need be taken if any to reverse this trend."

Abstract
This paper provides an analysis of Stanley Kubrick's film, "Full Metal Jacket," and discusses how this film can be understood with relation to the Game Theory. The paper analyzes three characters from the film and considers how their choices in the film illustrate the viability of game theory. Game theory is described here as a mathematical formula that asseses outcomes of situations based on people's choices and the author of this paper sees Kubrick's film as an example of how outcomes are effected by particular choices.

Abstract
This paper begins with a general overview of chemistry to familiarize the reader and describes how chelating ligands form complexes with metal ions. The chelating groups discussed are: Ionophores, British Anti-Lewisite, Cis-dichlorodiammine platinum (II) (Cisplatin?), and Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). The paper states that Chelation therapy will most likely perfect the removal of tumors without the need for radiation.
From the Paper
"Within the periodic table is found the basic building blocks of life. From the organic atoms like carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O) to the in-organics such as sodium (Na), calcium (Ca), and even gold (Au), it has been proven that both are vital to the survival of live. In the mid to late 1800?s, two men by the names of Mendeleev and Lothar Meyer began their work on the reoccurrence of certain characteristics of the known elements of the time (ref 1). It was not until some 15 years later that the periodic table, found in most every chemistry book published today, was accumulated into it?s easy to read format by Thomsen and Bohr (ref 1). Since then, many more steps have been made in classifying elements, such as metals, non-metals, and metalloids."

From the Paper
"The overall color scheme of "Full Metal Jacket" involves a shift toward the green in art direction and toward the blue in terms of lighting. The green is seen in the tinge of the walls of the barracks, in the uniforms, and in the choices made throughout the movie for the surroundings (the green of the foliage at Paris Island, what is left of the green in the war zone of Vietnam, the sickly cast to the war scenes, the green of military bases everywhere, and so on).
The blue shift in the light and the prevalence of green places a distance between viewer and action. These are cold colors, and the blue adds a sense of documentary to scenes like the opening where the soldiers are getting their haircuts. Blue is emphasized in the night scenes, with a blue filter adding an ominous and mysterious tinge to the action. Blue makes the inter..."
