Abstract
This document introduces and compares two separate organizations where one employs a total quality management program and one does not. General Electric is used to illustrate a total quality management program, Six Sigma, and Advanced Radiology are used to illustrate a company that does not employ any type of total quality management program.
From the Paper
"Any organization in any line of business requires a quality management program or some sort of quality program that is instituted from executive management down to the lowest level employee. While each particular function within an organization requires quality processes modeled after its own unique requirements, these individual quality processes should be designed and established based on the principles of the overall quality management program. While there are many different quality management programs, such as: total quality management (TQM), kaizen based programs, and Six Sigma, one feature unique to all of them is that they are, and should be, part of the strategic DNA of an organization and an integral part of the strategic planning process."

Abstract
This paper asserts that, although more humane than the often inefficient hangings that caused death by strangulation, the electric chair is far from painless and instantaneous. In addition, the paper discusses several social implications of the implementation of the electric chair. To support these hypotheses, the means of execution prior to the electric chair are examined, as is the history of the electric chair itself.
Outline
Introduction
Means of Execution Prior to the Electric Chair
History of Electric Chair
Is the Electric Chair a More Humane Method of Execution?
Social Implications of the Electric Chair
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Prior to 1890, most state laws allowed for capital punishment, typically by hanging. "Execution by hanging was a grim, hands-on business. (...) It took a strong stomach indeed to wrap a noose around the condemned man, then let him drop through a gallows trapdoor to choke and gasp and swing until he died" (Blackwell). Due to the inexperience and ignorance of many hangmen, hangings often produced horrifyingly slow, strangulations death, and grisly decapitations ("The History") as opposed to the quick, breaking of the neck that the process was supposed to incur."

Abstract
This paper discusses the history of the electric car and why the electric car should become our first choice of vehicle to use. It describes the importance of the electric car in terms of global warming, rising gasoline prices and America's dependency on foreign oil. The paper then describes how the hybrid car works and why it is a good compromise between the combustion engine and the electric car. The paper presents the writer's personal reflections on the issues raised.
From the Paper
"Global warming is all around us. Our glaciers are melting; there are more severe temperatures around the globe, not to mention natural disasters on a scale never seen before. There are several alternative sources of energy, from something as simple as harvesting the sun's energy, to something as complex as building a huge "exhaust system" out of our factories. The most damaging to our atmosphere is the combustion engine vehicle. Because we have the technology to make better cars, I made this the topic of my research paper. We, as a population, should do everything in our power to make sure that these dinosaurs of cars be put into extinction. They are literally killing our planet, and it is something that can be, and should be avoided. In the following paper, I will give facts to the testament of the electric car, and why it should be our new form of transportation."

Abstract
This paper explains that the rapidly changing healthcare environment requires various levels of nursing educational preparation, which involve advanced levels of competence. The author points out that the scope of practice becomes wider as advanced degrees create an impressive variety of practice settings. The paper describes many types of advanced nursing, which can be completed at a university or online. The author stresses that nurses have an ethical demand to pursue advanced practices because of the professional principle of beneficence, which refers to doing well and working in the best interests of the patient and because of the more salient principle of autonomy. The author summarizes that an advanced level of nursing practice maximizes the use of in-depth nursing knowledge and skill for meeting the needs of the individual patient, family and the community.
From the Paper
"The Bachelor of Science in Nursing is a four-year baccalaureate degree program for non-nurses which leads to RN licensure. The baccalaureate degree is the minimum requirement for entry into professional nursing practice. This requirement resulted from the American Nurses Association's (ANA's) position paper requesting the baccalaureate degree as the minimum preparation for practice. The basis for that degree was the observation by the ANA of significant changes in the practice of nursing, which included important theoretical formulations, scientific discoveries, technological advances, and the development of new treatments."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"These programs have proven very efficient at elevating GE's overall service quality metrics and this improvement is reflected in its ROI which is apparent through sales results by industry, division, and department where consolidated revenue rose from just over $134b in 2004 to more than $150b in 2005 (GE, 2005). For GE, it achieves remarkable growth results even from established businesses no longer thought of as growth industries because of its constant re-emphasis on service quality as a way to improve margins. This market success across all its core industries is directly attributable to its operating model based on Six Sigma as well as its corporate culture which emphasizes quality, performance, accountability, and, above all, metrics in every managerial role and position."

Abstract
This paper discusses the medical diagnostic field of radiology. The paper identifies the different methods available and elaborates on each one. Radiology is a diagnostic specialty that uses x-rays, ultrasound, radiographs, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, and other new technology forms. The paper examines the benefits of each of these methods of radiology.
From the Paper
"The diagnosis of disease in human patients is performed by the physician through medical or clinical imaging when the affected body part is not visible, or it is arrived at through a research-based understanding of the body processes (Wikipedia 2004). The physician infers the cause from the evident or visible tissue effect, that is, inversely. Radiology is a diagnostic specialty that uses x-rays, ultrasound, radiographs, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and other new technology forms. In the past, the physician performed imaging by simply feeling the affected body area in visualizing the condition of the invisible internal organs involved. This method was traditionally used in diagnosing conditions aneurysm, fracture, and enlarged internal organs, but the diagnosis was based on subjective interpretation and needed further tests to confirm it (Wikipedia)."

Abstract
This paper introduces, discusses, and analyzes the topic of the electric guitar. Specifically, it discusses the history of the invention of the electric guitar and its primary inventor/developer, Les Paul. The paper also looks at what his contributions as a designer and as a musician were and how the technical developments in electric guitars and amplification have affected the evolution of rock music.
From the Paper
"Guitars have existed in history for thousands of years. Related to lutes, (which had only two strings), most guitars had six strings, and were designed to be strummed or plucked. It was not until the 20th century that the acoustic, hollow-bodied guitar metamorphosized into the solid-body, electric model so known and loved today. Many people often credit Les Paul with designing the first viable electric guitar, but actually, many men contributed to the electric guitar's history and ultimate success."

From the Paper
"In 1876,Thomas Alva Edison, inventor of such groundbreaking technologies as the incandescent electric light bulb and jet engine, opened a new laboratory in Menlo Park, New Jersey. This new and better-equipped laboratory was the birthplace of his most famous invention- the incandescent electric lamp. By the year 1890 he had organized his various businesses into the Edison General Electric Company. However, with the expansion of its businesses it became increasingly clear that it was not feasible for the company to produce complete electrical installations relying solely on its own technology. Hence, in 1892, Edison General Electric Company merged with the Thomson-Houston Company (which was infact a conglomeration of many competitors of GE) and they combined to form the General Electric Company with its headquarters in Schenectady, New York, which became the largest electrical company in American industry."
