Abstract
In this paper the author looks at various explosive disorders suffered by children and the symptoms that they demonstrate. In particular the author looks at intermittent explosive disorder, defiant disorder, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, conduct disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress syndrome, bipolar disorder and Tourette?s syndrome. The author moves on to discuss what the warning signals are and how adults can help child sufferers.
From the paper:
?Explosive behaviors in these children are hard for adults to understand. Many parents assume that the child is deliberately provoking them. On examination this view doesn?t hold up to scrutiny. It doesn?t seem likely that a child is thinking clearly when in the middle of a raging meltdown, and it seems unlikely that a child would choose to act in a way that makes both him and those he loves most extremely unhappy.?

Abstract
The following paper examines the events and consequences of the Vietnam War which cost Americans many lives. The writer focuses on the issue that was created as a result of the war, that of creating the need for someone or something to blame. This paper discusses the possibility that Lyndon B. Johnson was in fact the scapegoat.
From the Paper
"There have been few tragedies in history as serious and as hostile as the Vietnam War. Therefore it is critical to understand the underlying triggers which caused a solvable problem to escalate into a full blown catastrophe, if we are to avoid similar mistakes in the future. The causes of America's involvement in the war that 'wasn't really a war' are numerous and varied, but can be essentially pinpointed to the election of President Lyndon B. Johnson."

Abstract
This paper examines how everything the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) does is designed to keep the American public safe. The paper explains that ATF has always tackled the controversial issues such as alcohol and firearm control, smoking bans and explosives limitations. The paper looks at how the ATF has to balance its regulations in order to protect American citizens and businesses without infringing on rights. The paper then points out that the ATF needs to work on some areas, but in general, it is successfully serving and protecting the public.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives has been evolving since the late 1700s, when the first Congress enacted a tax on imported spirits to pay for debts incurred during the Revolutionary War. At that time, agents collected taxes through the Department of Treasury. In 1862, by Act of 1, Congress created the Office of Internal Revenue within the Treasury Department. This new office was responsible for collecting taxes on distilled spirits and tobacco products.
Congress added enforcement as a component of the ATF in 1863 when it authorized the addition of three detectives for the purpose of preventing, detecting and punishing tax evaders."

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, 2004.
This paper discusses the history and mission of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF).

Abstract
This paper explains that, although the original bureau is 200 years old, in 2003, the ATF was transferred from the Treasury Department to the Justice Department; its name was somewhat changed, with the word ?explosives? being added to make clear one of its major, long-standing fields of expertise. The author points out that the ATF forerunner agency performed a key role in the national movement to abolish the commercial sale of beer, wine, and whiskey under the 18th Amendment of the Constitution, which was approved in 1919. The paper stresses that the backbone of the ATF is the examiners who inspect records of firearms dealers, explosives businesses, and alcohol beverage producers;they substantiate inventories and work to make sure of product veracity.
From the Paper
"The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) has over the years been allocated a series of tasks that were not always clearly related, as suggested by its name, and different from the Internal Revenue Service and the Drug Enforcement Agency. This historic setback may have relieved to a substantial level when most of the ATF was moved form the Treasury Department to the Justice Department on January 24, 2003. The ATF was for many years a basic source of federal income, while the comparative significance of this role going after alcohol and tobacco excise taxes weakened with America?s espousal of the income tax. Recently, even the law enforcement part of this relatively small agency had endeavored to cover a great deal of ground. In the arousal of grave bombing events, expert ATF programs were established to give specialist help."

Abstract
This paper explores the truth behind the different theories that have been used to explain why our world is overpopulated: climatic change, the industrial revolution, medical advances, dietary improvements and the infamous Brown Rat theory.
From the Paper
"The world is overpopulated. This is a fact widely accepted by sociologists and the general population alike. However, overpopulation has not always been an issue. It therefore becomes necessary to ask: When did this happen? What caused it to happen? Was it a result of one or many factors? This paper addresses these questions and identify the factor (or factors) that have resulted in the population explosion. "

Abstract
This paper discusses the issue of increasing populations and depleting resources. The paper reviews the works of populationists, Stephen Moore and Anne Ehrlich, who present two different and contrasting viewpoints about this problem. The paper explains that while Moore presents a more optimistic and bright picture, Ehrlich offers a rather bleak picture. Facts are used to corroborate the respective viewpoints.
From the Paper
"There is again a mixed reaction to China?s population control policies. Moore opposses China?s ?one child policy? and consider it not only to be an unnecesary but also a flawed approach. He points out that the Chinese initiative has created a imbalance and the ?sex-selective abortion of female fetuses? has affected the female demographic ratio with an estimated 20 million Chinese girls missing. The author argues against the premise that China was literally forced to take such stern measures because of the scarcity of arable land to support uncontrolled population growth. Instead he advocates an open market economy and increase in capitalism as positive solution. Comparision is made with Hong Kong which left with no arable land and also having a population density which is 75 times that of China, enjoys a more vibrant economy and a well fed population. He voices his concerns against the population control programs promoted by groups such as ?Zero Population Growth?, ?Negative Population Growth? etc, and the funding they receive the government and billionaires."

Abstract
The following paper examines how India, a region that lags in social development, education and rights of women has one of the highest birth rates in the world. This paper argues that there is nothing like population control. The concept does not exist. The writer asserts that what exists is equality and empowerment in education, reproductive health and other areas as effective means of fighting the growth curve.
From the Paper
"The world has a population of six billion. India alone has a population of one billion, in spite of the fact that India was the first country in the world to have a population policy. This large population is causing alarm. India is in the midst of a demographic transition, with fertility rates definitely declining, though not as fast as was expected. Population growth is the reason for every environmental problem facing India today, and many of their economic and social dilemmas as well. India, with a current estimated population of one billion and a population growth rate of 2.15%, has specifically staggering population-related problems, as one-third of the total population are subject to live below the poverty line. In addition, India?s natural and environmental resources are shrinking. 53% of India?s total land area is prone to soil erosion; dense and closed forests have been declining considerably and widespread water scarcity and water pollution subsist."

Abstract
The paper provides a critical analysis of the relevant literature concerning traditional and alternative credentialing programs for new teachers. The paper includes a background and overview, a description of the respective approaches and a discussion of the current and future trends identified in the research. The paper identifies a number of useful methods for overcoming the existing constraints to alternative teacher credentialing programs. The paper discusses the growing need for new teachers that is accompanied by a lack of resources to recruit them and a lack of support and training once they are in the classroom.
Outline:
Background and Overview
Potential Impact of Inadequate Preparation for Classroom Teaching
Traditional and Alternatives Approaches to Teacher Preparation
Current Initiatives and Future Trends
Chapter Summary
From the Paper
"Just as complex problems require complex solutions, it just makes sense that desperate circumstances require desperate action. Therefore, the explosive growth in alternative credentialing programs for new teachers could be considered as being legitimate and justified responses to market conditions. In fact, as Rosenberg and Sindelar (2005) point out, "For decades, there simply have not been enough qualified teachers to address the educational needs of the growing numbers of students. Moreover, the traditional source of supply for classrooms, freshly minted graduates of college or university degree programs, has not met the growing demand for teachers" (p. 117)."

Abstract
This paper describes the nuclear explosions conducted by the U.S. Department of Defense on the Marshall Islands from June 30, 1946 until August 18, 1958. The paper looks at the damage caused by the testing, the media's involvement in exposing the damage and how the U.S. responded to legal actions brought against the U.S. government by Marshallese living on the islands at the time of the nuclear explosions.
From the Paper
"From June 30, 1946 until August 18, 1958, the United States Government conducted a total of 67 nuclear explosions off the Marshall Islands, "all of which were considered atmospheric" (Republic of the Marshall Islands 1). The most horrific of these blasts was the 'Bravo Shot,' conducted in the Bikini Atoll on March, 1954. This blast was as powerful as 1000 hydrogen bombs (1) and much more devastating than the 1945 Hiroshima blast. However, the full extent of the destruction was clouded by governmental reticence for years, due to Cold War defense secrecy."

Abstract
This paper discusses radiological dispersion devices (RDDs) and analyzes how easy they are to access and to construct. The paper then discusses which nations are likely to have access to RDDs. In addition, the paper analyzes the effects that can be expected for those who are exposed to an explosion of RDD and the damage that they cause in the form of gamma, beta and alpha emitters.
From the Paper
"One other nation that comes to mind is Iran. This country's harboring of terrorist organizations (just the sort of organizations that are most likely to utilize RDD weaponry) is commonly-known but what is arguably less-appreciated (at least by the general public) is its close historic relationship to the aforementioned Russia. To wit, Russia has historically made many contributions to Iran's nuclear weapons program and is generally perceived as a nation that enjoys a substantial diplomatic relationship with Iran (Orlov & Vinnikov, 2005). As a result, it is quite easy to see terrorist organizations residing within Iran - and looking for low-tech and cost-effective weapons to unleash upon the west - using Iranian contacts within Russia to secure RDDs. At the very least, radioactive material such as Strontium-90 can find its way within Iran's borders from Russia with troubling ease."

Abstract
This paper explains that the tragedy of the Sago Mining crisis, one of the worst mining-related disasters in United States history, goes beyond the deaths of the miners and includes a vast network of miscommunication and uncoordinated response, which were partially responsible for the wide-spread death caused by the explosion. The paper presents a case study of this crisis that includes an in-depth overview of the crisis timeline, with pre-crisis, crisis and post-crisis events, and an analysis of the crisis management plan and its implementations. The paper concludes that the crisis management failures were a lack of communication, especially underground, because of out-of-date technologies, rescue process plan and the rescue teams.

From the Paper
"Prior to the Sago Mine explosion, the Federal Mine Safety and Health Administration cited the Sago mine two hundred and eight separate times for regulation violations in 2005 alone. Out of these, ninety-six were considered to be significant and substantial violations. Further, the West Virginia Office of Miners' Health, Safety and Training issued 144 citations on Sago Mines in 2005, many of them for violations that were most likely factors in causing the accident (such as a failure to maintain control over methane and dust accumulation or fix shafts)."

Abstract
The writer of this paper explores the negative effects and consequences due to the recent population explosion which include: Overcrowding, hunger, pollution, deforestation, global warming, crime and the loss of nature's bio diversity. One of the biggest obstacles, due to the increase in the population, is the depletion of the world's fossil fuel resources. The writer stresses the need for stricter environmental guidelines as well as birth rate control regulations. This paper defines the earth's depleting fossil fuel as a broad term for three sources of energy: Petroleum, natural gas and coal. All three were formed millions of years ago during the age of dinosaurs, hence the name fossil fuels. The energy comes from decomposed plant and animal matter. Once these fuels are depleted they cannot be renewed. This paper examines the benefits to the environment in utilizing renewable energy as an alternative to the earth's dwindling fossil fuel reserves. The paper also details various environmentally sound strategies that would aid in preserving the earth's remaining resources.
From the Paper
"Fossil fuel is a broad term for three sources of energy: petroleum, natural gas, and coal. All three were formed millions of years ago during the age of dinosaurs-hence the name fossil fuels. The energy comes from decomposed plant and animal matter. Energy Quest, a major educational service on the World Wide Web describes the origin of fossil fuels: When plants and dinosaurs and other ancient creatures died, they decomposed and became buried, layer upon layer under the ground. It took millions of years to form these layers into a hard, black colored rock-like substance called coal; a thick liquid called oil or petroleum, and natural gas. Petroleum and natural gas are extracted from deep deposits below the Earth's surface."

Abstract
This paper examines the causes of eruptions and the difference between explosive and non-explosive eruptions. It also studies the effects of volcanic eruptions on people and the environment. It concludes with a discussion on recent eruptions in Hawaii and on the island of Montserrat.
From the Paper
"Volcanoes are mountains that are created by an accumulation of materials that erupt through vents. Most volcanoes are beneath the sea but the volcanoes that most people are aware of are above sea level. The Smithsonian Institution reports that there are 1511 active above-sea volcanoes during the past 10,000 years. Five hundred and thirty-nine of these have erupted at least once during recorded history. An average fifty-five above-sea volcanoes worldwide are active in any given year; about half of these are continuations of eruptions from previous years, and the rest are new.(?Volcano?) The purpose of this discussion is to examine why eruptions occur and the difference between explosive and non-explosive eruptions. We will also explore the effects of volcanic eruptions on people and the environment. Finally we will discuss recent eruptions in Hawaii and on the island of Montserrat."

Abstract
This paper examines how ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) is one of the most widely used and most promising of the methods available for the detection and identification of explosives today. It looks at how two independent principles and the foundations of this technique are that ions can be created at ambient pressure from radioactive materials and how these gas phase ions can be characterized rapidly for mobility in weak electric fields. Several diagrams are included with the paper.
Outline:
Introduction
How it Works
Instrumentation
Sample Introduction
Ion Formation
From the Paper
"The electric field is established via a voltage divider and a series of conducting rings stacked between the ion shutter and the detector. In the drift region, there is a drift gas at constant pressure, which may be between 1 Torr and atmospheric pressure depending on the configuration of the IMS instrument. The ions experience a number of collisions as they pass through the buffer gas. These collisions hinder the ions progress to the detector. Larger ions move slower through the drift tube due to greater collision cross sections causing more collisions. Smaller ions, on the other hand, move faster as their collision cross section is smaller and therefore they encounter fewer collisions. This explains how the separation via shape and size is possible."
