Abstract
This paper begins with an explanation of the four common methods of providing bidirectional communications between two devices and then explains the technique of transmitting multiple optical signals on a single optical fiber known as wavelength division multiplexing. The paper concludes with a comparison of single fiber transmission and dual fiber transmission and an explanation of the advantages of single fiber transmission.
From the Paper
"Duplexing methods determine the overall throughput that is shared between the two directions of transmission: downstream and upstream. The important property of a duplex method is its ability to achieve a good distribution of high data rates for all the loops in a cable binder. If the same frequency bands are used simultaneously for both upstream and downstream transmission in a cable binder, the available capacity will be severely affected."

Abstract
This paper relates that the importance of communicating the Gospel in missionary work cannot be overstated. The paper also points out that, without an effective way of communicating the Gospel, the targeted audience will never be converted. The paper then discusses the ways in which the Gospel can be communicated and the importance of selecting a method that suits the community that the missionary is in. The paper further describes the ways that media selection play a key role in the presentation of the Gospel and discusses the impact that globalization has had on missionary work.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Philosophy of Communication
Initial Considerations

Globalization
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Globalization is a current trend throughout the world that is having a large impact on missions. Where a missionary used to struggle to find things to relate to, a missionary can now enter remote areas of China and chat with teenage boys about the latest episode of The Simpsons thanks to the television. While globalization has many more negative impacts than positive ones, it seems, there are a few bright spots that can aide a missionary in his attempt to contextualize the Gospel or the media that he'll use to present it. In China, little kids swap Christmas cards without even realizing the meaning behind them; this presents an open door for a missionary to relate the Gospel to the child. Muslims, who are from a very exclusionary culture, are provided with access to pluralistic ideas through the television and the internet that might challenge their thinking enough to open them up to the Gospel ."

From the Paper
"Optical fibers are nothing but thin strands of highly purified glass that transmit data in the form of light. These individual glass strands have a diameter of around 120 micrometers and are bundled together as optical cables that can transmit data upto 50 Km without the need for repeaters. Each optic fiber can be divided into three distinct layers namely the innermost layer or the core, the cladding layer that immediately covers the core and the outermost buffer coating made of plastic that is designed to protect the fiber from weather and other external damages. While the core is the glass medium on which light travels the cladding layer is used to reflect the escaping light back into the core and thus minimize the optical signal loss. The lower refractive index of the cladding material facilitates reflection of light back into the core region. Thus by using total internal reflection, optical fibers can carry data in the form of light pulses over large distances with little loss."

Abstract
This paper looks at fiber optics, a technology that has been developing and improving the way the world communicates for more than two centuries. It examines its origins in the year 1790, when a French engineer named Claude Chappe invented a system for sending messages, and how Chappe's optical communication system incorporated the use of tall towers with a series of semaphores mounted on top of each tower. It also looks at its development over the years from its use by Alexander Graham Bell in his ?photophone? to the first optical telephone communication system created in 1977.
From the Paper
"William Wheeler?s contribution to fiber optics came during the same year as Alexander Graham Bell?s. His contribution was, ironically looked over during his time, just as Bell?s was. William Wheeler found a way to run pipes, which contained light through buildings and such that aided in the illumination of dark areas. He accomplished this by coating the tubes with a highly reflective substance that carried the light through the whole tube. His patented mechanism was over looked because around the same time Thomas Edison had invented the ?electric lamp? a.k.a. the light bulb. Just as Bell?s photophone, Wheeler?s mechanism wasn?t as practical as others."

"There is nothing in the world that gives us more power or confidence than having information. There are few things that we cannot do if we have the proper information to do it with. In addition, the ability to communicate that information is essential to the successful advancement of society. Information is the key to all foundational understanding and the ability to transmit information in a variety of ways allows us to expand our horizons, individually, societally and physically. Mankind has been working on ways to pass information since the beginning of time."

Abstract
This paper provides an explanation of the technology used in fiber optics, looks at its limitations and how some of these limitations are being addressed and solved, describes how fiber optic technology is evolving, and details the benefits of fiber optic technology.
From the Paper
"The transmission system for fiber optics consists of a fiber optic transmitter and receiver, and both are connected through fiber optic cables. These systems provide a lot of advantages over the systems which use copper or coaxial cables. The first of these is their ability to carry a lot more information than copper cables or coaxial cables and deliver the data with much greater accuracy. They can transmit data at much higher speeds and this can be done at even longer distances than coaxial cables. This property makes it an ideal medium for use for serial digital data. The fiber itself does not get affected by interference from practically all sources, including lightning. The cable does not conduct electricity. This helps it even if the cable comes into direct touch with high voltage electrical equipment and power lines. The cables cannot create ground loops. The fiber itself is made of glass and is thus chemical proof and does not corrode. (Introduction to Fiber Optics)"

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."

Abstract
Good communication is one of the most important features of a successful company. This paper shows that, as discussed in ?Communicating is Not Optional? by Angela Sinickas, President of Sinickas Communications, Inc., communication can mean the difference between profit and loss, between good management/employee relations and bad, and between a business having a positive or a negative public image.
From the Paper
"Angela Sinickas makes reference to a situation in which Blue Cross of California promoted a new program of guaranteed coverage. All the newspapers carried the story, and customer service workers at Blue Cross were deluged with calls about the new policy. Unfortunately, management forgot to inform customer service of the changes. As a result, Blue Cross?s image was seriously damaged. This communications debacle affected only one company, in one state. But, imagine if this had been an international blunder."

Abstract
This is a paper that researches the different forms of business communication, including the transmission of ideas and messages over great distances. The author discusses the role of both verbal and non-verbal communication in the workplace, including body language and how different interpretations of language can lead to misunderstandings in the business world. The tone one uses, either verbally or electronically is an intricate piece of the business puzzle and can make or break any deal. The author also details the importance of communicating clearly and concisely in the global world of business where often different dialects can cause unnecessary confusion.
From the Paper
"Upon hearing this, the employee may interpret this to mean he/she is not working hard enough and get upset. This is a misconception of non-verbal messages. As a result of this, people need to watch not only the words and phrases they use, but also the tone of their voice. An employee should consider the tone of their message, whether depending on who they are speaking to and when. Tone is present in all communication activities. Ultimately, the tone of a message is a reflection of the speaker and it does affect how the listener will perceive the message. Tone can sometimes be difficult to consider when it is presented over a technological medium. Unarguably, however, tone can be presented via writing an e-mail message, over the phone, or through a video conference. It is still possible to express tone while using a form of technology."

From the Paper
Heart disease, breast and colorectal cancer, and osteoporosis in postmenopausal women are the leading causes of death, disability, and frailty among older women of all races and socioeconomic backgrounds in the United States today (Bowen, Hunt, Kaplan et al. 1997:101). Further, a range of behavioral and lifestyle factors play a powerful role in each of these diseases, and behavioral interventions may be useful for their prevention. As noted above, after lung cancer, colorectal cancer is the second leading cancer killer in the United States Gaziano & Horowitz 2001) (other authorities, though, report colorectal cancer is third, after lung and breast cancer for women (Bowen, Hunt & Kaplan et al. 1997:114).
According to a recent report in the Journal of Environmental Health (2004), though, "Among white women, lung cancer is the second most common cancer, and colorectal is the third most common cancer. Among black and Asian/Pacific Islander women, colorectal cancer and lung cancer are the second and third most common cancers, respectively" ("U.S. Cancer Incidence: Prostate Cancer and Breast Cancer Are Most Common" 61). Interestingly, Rhode Island reported the highest incidence of colorectal cancer among men, and Alaska the highest incidence rate among women; by contrast, New Mexico reported the lowest incidence rate of colorectal cancer for both men and women in the United States (U.S. Cancer Incidence: Prostate Cancer and Breast Cancer Are Most Common" 61)."

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."
