Abstract
This paper examines the effect that the closing of 'The Hanford Site,' the Hanford Nuclear Reactor Plant, has had on the community in terms of economy and the environment. The paper explains that the removal of many thousands of tons of radioactive dirt took place in Hanford and claims that it appears that environmental and economical successes have been achieved in spite of predictions suggesting otherwise.
From the Paper
"In 1969 there were problems at Hanford with the N-reactor causing rupturing and leaking of fuel rods. The situation was expediently handled and the contaminants buried in container beneath 50 feet of concrete, during the process tie gross beta radiation shot up more than sixty-times over what was considered to be safe. The problem with the disposal method was that clean up was difficult in gaining someone to perform it but finally the Department of Energy took on the job in 1980. Congress passed the LLWP Act of 1980 which is the Low-level Waste Policy Act which required removal of low-level radioactive waste from the sites being decommissioned. Approximately 1.1 million cubic feet of the low-level waste was removed during 1990 from the collective sites and sent to be permanently stored at the Nevada Test site of sent to commercial disposal sites."

Site-Specific Art, 2001.
An analysis of site-specificity in art, focusing on the concept of art that is specifically created for a particular site or space.
1,314 words (approx. 5.3 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 44.95

Abstract
This paper examines art that is produced for a specific site, thereby taking advantage of the unique qualities of that site. The paper provides various examples of works of site-specific art, such as, from the internet, video arena, land, interior, and other genres. The writer also discusses the issue of preserving this type of art.
From the Paper
"Site-specific art must therefore be commodified, due to the significance of its location. Commodification is the process in which a work of art is bought and sold as a commodity. Some artists believe that calling a work of art a commodity, or a unit of trade, is demeaning and reduces its artistic, aesthetic qualities. Site-specific art still retains these qualities, however, such as expression of the artist?s feelings."

From the Paper
"Although there is a concern for law suits, the quality of life of the patient and the trust between the community and the health care system in relation to wrong site surgeries, there must also be a concern for ethics (Kapp, 1998, p. 142). According to Kapp (1998), medical practitioners can create any number of excuses to justify why errors occur in the operating room, but it is the responsibility of all within the health care system to ensure that resolutions to the issue be discovered and implemented to ensure that mistakes are erased (p. 142). It is evident, therefore, that an effective solution must be developed that is ethically sound and that considers the needs of patients above all else."

Setting up an E-Commerce Site in Saudi Arabia, 2002.
A business plan and strategy formation for setting up an e-commerce site named "Bazaar" - a virtual shopping mall.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Part one of this analysis, the Product Concept, details the creation of an E-commerce site to be named ?Bazaar,? a name that was chosen because it has strong Middle East identification and because it captures the concept of the site as a wide-open shopping mall with a difference. Part two, The Market, divides the analysis into two main sections -- the events leading up to Saudi Arabia?s belated but active and focused entry into the Internet Age, and the current situation that draws on user surveys completed within the previous six months. These surveys show that the growth in Internet usage in Saudi Arabia is proceeding faster than predicted. In the competition section, particular emphasis is placed on the ISPs, since the success of an E-commerce site depends on choosing the right ISP. In the architecture section, the writer details the topography of the pages and provides a hierarchical division of the levels and the relations between the static and the dynamic pages. The technology section then emphasizes the type of connectivity and configuration will be used, including the justification for choosing to develop the site using Frame Relay Technology. In the strategy section of this analysis, the report presents a task breakdown of the individual structural components of the business group.

From the Paper
"Saudi Arabia has had an Internet connection for several years, although public access has only recently been allowed. The Kingdom also sponsors many Web pages, both commercial and government, and, until recently, those were all established outside of the country, mostly in Bahrain or the United Kingdom (?Internet to enter?, 1997).
The region?s first wide-area network, GulfNet, was created in 1985 by the King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology (KACST) and IBM. It was an SNA (Systems Network Architecture) network in a star configuration with the mainframe hub in Riyadh. Initially there were ten additional nodes in the Kingdom and three in Kuwait connected via 9.6 Kbps leased lines. International connectivity via a link to BITNET in the United States was established in 1987 (Mansuri & al-Zoman, 1996)."

Abstract
This paper analyzes a study done of the Glenrose Cannery Site in the 1970s. The various excavations at the site between 1969 and 1973 are discussed in detail, and the results are analysed and evaluated.
From the paper:
"The analysis of fish, pollen, shellfish, mammalian and avian remains and artifacts from the site were studied to find ?the origins of the densely populated culturally complex, maritime adaptation of the Pacific Northwest Coast?, and ?the origin of the Locarna Bach and Marpole phases in the last millenium B.C.? (Matson, 1976) Little is known about this and views range from Asiatio origins to local development. (Matson, 1976) ?Thus is was hoped that the investigation of the Glenrose midden would shed some light on the origins of the unique Northwest Coast pattern by detailing the subsistence strategies related to pre-Locarno material on the edge of the Fraser Delta.?

Argumentative Web Sites, 2002.
A review of two different websites that make different kinds of argumentative claims, one political, one commercial.
1,248 words (approx. 5.0 pages), 2 sources, APA, $ 42.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how a great deal of human communication is in the nature of argumentation and how in this day and age the ?speech? that is going on on Web sites is also in the nature of (rhetorical) argument. It examines two different websites that make argumentative claims that the author was inclined to reject to help to determine the strength and persuasiveness of those claims. The first site is the Jeb Bush gubernatorial re-elections site and it evaluates how election sites are in many ways the quintessence of argumentative speech because the stakes are so high and the second site is that of Pepsi site to see if the author could be swayed to drink Pepsi.
From the Paper
"In asking what would constitute a good web-based argument for this candidacy, the answer would be one that supplied enough substantive coverage of the governor in a sufficiently balanced way that I would want to vote for him if I lived in Florida. This means that while the rhetoric should be persuasive it should not seem forced ? or so positive that it seems false.
The rhetoric on this site lacks that sense of balance. For example: The homepage of the site has a number of different options, such as ?Women for Jeb?, ?Hispanics for Jeb?, ?Seniors for Jeb?. I find it hard to believe that people actually think of themselves in this way. The Web site?s categorization of people into convenient, poll-oriented demographics makes the campaign seem soulless and calculating, surely not the intention of the Bush advisors."

From the Paper
"The past several years have witnessed a dramatic slowdown and in many cases an actual reversal in manufacturing job growth in the United States. According to Don Sherman Grant II and Michael Wallace (1994), while the manufacturing job base grew by an average of 2.0 percent per year in the 1960s, it slowed to .5 percent in the 1970s, and dropped even further to -.8 percent during the 1980s. Toward the end of the 1980s, less than 15 percent of the nation's employed workers were employed in manufacturing industries while the country experienced the wrenching changes caused by a transition from a manufacturing to a service-based economy (Grant & Wallace, 1994). This shift is the most readily discernible indication of the alarming pattern of deindustrialization of the American economy, a systematic disinvestment in the nation's core manufacturing industries. A number of economists have cautioned policymakers that the erosion of the nation's manufacturing base will have a profound effect on the country's economy. The new service sector jobs have lower multiplier effects than the rapidly vanishing manufacturing sector jobs; this process, in turn, threatens the long-term dynamism of the United States economy."

Abstract
This paper discusses how a Web designer needs to understand how to help companies create, develop, and implement successful Internet strategies, as well as write computer HTML code and other custom programming scripts. It looks at how successful Internet Web design is a function of combining experience in Internet marketing, graphic design, and expertise in the latest Web-based technology. A successful Web site will be custom-tuned for the individual business and will take into consideration the clients' needs for Web sites, intranets and extranets for corporate clients, across a broad range of industries. It also examines how meeting the needs of clients is the top priority of a successful Web designer, not displaying their programming wizardry. As a Web site developer, a person must strive to accurately reflect the organization through online branding.
From the Paper
"Before building a web site, the site owner must determine the purpose of the site. Will it be a contact center for customers, or friend? Will it be a central focus of the company, or a personal, virtual scrap book for the family? Will the web site be interactive, inviting the participation of the visitor, or a static, electronic brochure? The first generations of web sites were predominantly the latter, static electronic version of printed materials. The visitors could discover information, and route email through the web site to company staff. Second generation websites added interactivity to the content. The visitors could request information, and have it immediately delivered. Web sites included purchase options for basic products."

The Brownfield Sites, 2005.
This paper discusses Brownfield sites in the U.K., a program for the reuse of property and for minimizing environmental damage.
3,170 words (approx. 12.7 pages), 8 sources, APA, $ 91.95

Abstract
This paper explains that a Brownfield site is any land or premises which has been used previously as a building site and is not currently fully in use and can be used again as part of an environmental policy plan. The author points out that such land may be derelict land, which requires the removal of chemical waste, derelict infrastructure or instability problems, before the land can be redeveloped. The paper relates that the Brownfield system has been successful because it has opened the way for most investors while still maintaining sufficient control to force a cleanup and to assure that housing is placed where housing is needed and business property where business property is needed, according to some centralized plan rather than on an ad hoc basis as was more common in the past.

From the Paper
"One of the areas that have been redeveloped in this fashion is at Stoke-on-Trent, and analysts have examined this site and reported on the brownfield process. R.M. Ball writes specifically about recent policy pronouncements on the UK built environment so as to reinforce the importance of infrastructure, sustainable use, and brownfield
development, and he focuses directly on the issue of vacant industrial premises, or brown buildings, in the local industrial property market. Ball argues that property development is both an economic and a social process, and in both areas, Ball sees the process as an interaction between "actors" in the development process in relation to structural forces that both constrain and facilitate actors as they seek to express and realize their interests."

Abstract
This paper addresses the need for on-site day care. The writer presents the positive impact that on-site day care provides for the company and its employees, while using several examples of successful ventures that are already in place and operating.
From the Paper
"When the women?s movement exploded in the 1960?s mothers began to enter the workforce in record numbers. Never before in the history of the nation had so many women gone to work outside of the home. This triggered a landslide shortage of daycare providers that has never fully recovered. As the woman?s work force continued to grow horror stories began to emerge concerning the care of children while moms were working. Some children were being abused, while others were simply being placed in crowded situations where they were not being nurture properly. Still others discovered the hard way what to little supervision could do in the way of accidents involving children. As the female work force became a way of life parents continued to struggle with the daycare issue. Who to have watch them, what to do if they became ill, how to work without worrying about the children were all questions that became common place(Schools, 1998)."

Supervised Injection Sites, 2008.
This paper explores the arguments for and against the drug policy of supervised injection sites (SIS).

Abstract
The paper discusses sanctioned supervised injection sites (SIS) in Canada where people may inject intravenous drugs under the supervision of trained medical staff, with clean syringes available for their use. The paper explores the reasoning behind this site and the ongoing arguments for and against its continuing operation. The paper supports the belief that drug use will continue and that at least users can be spared the harm inflicted by sharing non-sterile settings in a non-sanitary setting. The paper therefore concludes that the SIS is a sound, pragmatic drug policy that should be continued and developed further.
From the Paper
"In the case of SIS, the reasoning is that drug addicts are going to inject themselves with illegal drugs anyway, so why not make the actual process safer? Especially given that much of the health damage associated with intravenous drug use derives from factors other than the drugs. For example, non-sterile needles cause death through infection, and shared needles cause diseases and death by passing on Hepatitis C, AIDS, etc. As Ezard (2001) points out, the discovery that HIV transmission is linked to injectable drugs "arguably spearheaded the harm reduction movement for illicit drug use" (p. 208). Moreover, many drug deaths are due to overdoses, and those who accidentally overdose in a SIS will be given medical assistance more promptly, and are thus more likely to survive."
