From the Paper
"The use of cellular communications devices in the United States has become virtually ubiquitous and Americans have embraced this technology in a major way; an unfortunate concomitant of this explosive growth in cellular communications, though, has been the need for frequently unsightly communications towers that can be as tall as 250 feet. While many companies have sought environmentally friendly alternatives by disguising these structures, the need for them remains solidly in place. There were more than 57,000 radio transmission sites throughout the country, with an estimated 110,000 antennae already in place by the end of 2002 (Tuesley 887). This proliferation of communications towers is a fundamental function of the explosive demand for wireless service and new technologies. For instance, in his essay, "Cellular tower proliferation in the United States," Thomas A. Wikle (2002) reports that cellular telephone towers have been placed in a growing number of cities, suburbs, and towns of America. This author estimates that more than 128,000 cellular antennae would be installed across the United States by the end of 2005 (Wikle 44). Clearly, cellular companies (also known as cell or wireless service providers) are under an increasing amount of pressure to extend their networks' geographical boundaries. Forecasts in the late 1990s suggested that 100,000 cellular telephone towers would be in place by 2010; in fact, though, by the end of 2001 that total had already been exceeded (Wikle 44)."

J.R.R Tolkien and "The Two Towers", 2002.
A paper which examines what makes the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, especially the second book in his "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, "The Two Towers", such a remarkable piece of literature.
4,460 words (approx. 17.8 pages), 2 sources, MLA, $ 116.95

Abstract
The paper begins with an overview of the life of author J.R.R. Tolkien and questions how Tolkien?s life impacted on the "Lord of the Ring" trilogy. The features that make the book outstanding are discussed. The paper then considers how Tolkien's imaginary world applies to the modern world. Finally, the themes of the book are described. Each of these discussions are completed with a focus on the second book of Tolkien?s trilogy, "The Two Towers".
From the Paper
"The third influence worth noting is Tolkien?s experience in the war. Tolkien did not serve in the war for long, but did lose almost all of his friends in the war. It can be expected that such an event would impact on his writing. This can be seen, not in the writing style of the work, but in the themes. How power corrupts individuals is one of the themes of the book. This can be related to Tolkien?s own experience. He and his friends were sent to a war by those in power, where his friends died. Despite this being the decision of those in power, they were not the one?s doing the fighting. This is likely one of the underlying factors in Tolkien?s life that led him to incorporate the corruption of power into this works. The statement that the book makes about power will be discussed further in the themes section.

Power Struggle in "Barchester Towers", 2004.
Analysis of the power struggle between clergymen in Anthony Tollope's "Barchester Towers".

Abstract
This paper describes the struggle to be the one to wield power in a small Anglican diocese. Trollope's purpose is to show the human foibles and politics of the Church of England and how the emphasis of the Church has drifted from God, faith, and the religious guidance of the Church's congregation to politics and the power of the clergy. It explains how "Barchester Towers" does not deal with a power struggle for religious ideals. Rather, it depicts an ecclesiastical power struggle and the vain thirst for personal power among Barchester's churchmen.
From the Paper
"Anthony Trollope's Barchester Towers is concerned with social change in 19th century England. Trollope's purpose is to show the human foibles and politics of the Church of England and how the emphasis of the Church has drifted from God, faith, and the religious guidance of the Church's congregation to politics and the power of the clergy. In short, Barchester Towers does not deal with a power struggle for religious ideals. Rather, it depicts an ecclesiastical power struggle and the vain thirst for personal power among Barchester's churchmen. In this battle, several influential men of consequence endeavor to "rule the roast" (18) and to become Barchester's cock of the walk (142). Ironically, the bishop's willful wife Mrs. Proudie thwarts their ambitions. One situation in the novel that Trollope uses to illustrate the clergy's aspirations and their neglect of religious principles is the battle between Mrs. Proudie and her adversaries, Chaplain Slope and the Bishop of Barchester."

?The Spirits of the Towers?, 2002.
A study of the recent Gerald Manley Hopkins poem, ?The Spirits of the Towers?, which reflects on the September 11 tragedy in New York City.

Abstract
This paper analyzes the poem which reflects on the horror and destruction of the terrorist attack on New York?s Twin Towers. The paper describes this haiku poem's strong imagery of the attack and eloquent use of the symbols of American culture to represent the American spirit.
From the Paper
"The central theme is a search for meaning within the tragedy of September 11. The ?spirits of the towers? are not only the ghostly remembrances of the buildings themselves, but also the actual spirits of the many people who died there. In a larger sense, the ghosts of the people and of the buildings become part of the American spirit, in the same sense that we use the phrase ?the spirit of 76?."

Abstract
This paper discuses Replay Radio's product life cycle, channel management, an advertising plan and price, promotional and public relations strategies. The author points out that, during the launch phase, XM's marketing team should follow a skimming price strategy because of their competitive advantage and limited product availability. The paper relates that the pricing strategy for Replay Radio should be sales-oriented objective, which seeks some level of unit sales, dollar sales or share of market goal without referring to profit. The author recommends an initial promotion schedule starting the first of August so that the company can catch the height of sports, shopping and new releases for television shows and the music tour calendar. The paper suggests a public relation campaign by promoting technological sharing with the other satellite radio system Sirius, to assist in growing the industry market.
From the Paper
"The second phase is growth, during this phase of the product's life cycle the product tends to become more profitable and competitors tend to become more attracted to the market. Companies tend to start forming alliances, and more money is put into the advertising the product. Replay radio should be in mass production at this point of the life cycle and be marketed to manufacturers worldwide. The third phase is maturity; products that tend to survive the early phases normally spend the longest in this particular phase. Sales tend to grow at a decreasing rate then stabilize and price wars begin with the competition and promotion of the product becomes more widespread."

Abstract
The paper looks at community radio as a new way of providing communication development support to the people residing outside of the major cities in India. The paper analyzes the existing framework of community broadcasting in India with regard to historical background, legal and financial aspects, policy interventions and government and corporate interest. The writer explores the best possible practices for community radio to be used as a community participatory tool to ensure the participation of the underprivileged sectors of the society in designing, producing and then subsequent airing of radio programs based on local community issues, problems, needs and interests. In conclusion, the writer posits that the denial of information to the lower classes aggravates the poverty gap and that community radio could help bridge this gap.

From the Paper
"In contrast to the government efforts to bridge the digital divide and to take the advantages of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to the masses, the colonial and fossilized Indian Broadcasting laws continues to hold sway over the broadcasting arena. On the one hand, Judiciary has endorsed that 'airways are public property', while on the other, in practical realm, lines between public and private broadcasting still remain conveniently blurred. No doubt, that private radio has made an entry into the Indian broadcast arena, but community radio remains to find legitimacy by the law of the land."

Abstract
This paper relates that the satellite radio industry is in the very early stages with a predicted long, multi-year global growth curve. The author points out that Sirius has set the tone for the industry, being the first to offer commercial free programming on all its music channels and has larger selection of receivers, adapters and other products. XM has a cheaper subscription fee, at least for its basic plan, which offers much the same fare as its competitor. The paper concludes that Sirius and XM Satellite Radio companies have individual benefits, which will ensure their longevity in the satellite radio industry, and the companies are on a level playing field

From the Paper
"Just as many TV viewers have come to consider cable TV a life necessity, so too is satellite radio becoming a mainstream replacement for traditional AM/FM listening. Similar to cable, this service has to be paid for, but just as with cable, you get a lot more channels and edgier, more innovative programming. An additional benefit is that there is no loss of your favorite station as you travel across the state or country. As an added plus, satellite players show the artist and name of the song, which is definitely an incentive for those who like to know what they're listening to."

Abstract
This paper examines how, during the years from 1930-1960, radio became an increasingly popular form of entertainment for Americans. It looks at how technological changes helped spark the spectacular growth of radio and how in the 1930s radio programs were hugely varied and included a wide number of entertainment programs, as well as a number of hugely popular news programs. It explores how governmental intervention in radio began in 1934 with the creation of the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) and how, in the years from 1930 to 1960, radio gradually shifted its focus from variety-style entertainment programs to music programming, largely as a result of the appearance of television. It also discusses how radio today focuses largely on the music industry rather than the variety programs that were popular during the years 1930-1940, but still remains a hugely popular part of American culture.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"In the 1940s, FM became popular, as the FCC authorized broadcasting on 42-50MHZ. During the war, manufacturing and technology boom in radio, although home users were limited by wartime shortages. In 1945, the FCC changed the FM band to 88 to 108 megacycles. In 1946, selenium rectifiers began to replace vacuum tube rectifiers. By 1947 the size of radios were reduced, as miniature rectifiers, tubes, transformers and printed circuit boards became popular. The transistor was invented in 1947, and first introduced to the public in 1948 (A Brief History of Radio). "

Abstract
This paper discusses the model A670 cellular phone from Samsung and the history of cell phones in general. This paper reviews how cellular phone models are continuously getting more compact and lighter in weight. This paper also draws the attention to the dangers of using a cell phone.
From the Paper
"In this day and age, cell phones are everywhere. Even five or ten years ago, the cost and size of cell phones were prohibitive reasons for people not to constantly have their unit in use. But with the advent of affordable calling plans and tiny, lightweight cellular phones, these devices have become commonplace among all walks of life, all ages, and in any and all physical settings. One of the most popular and commonly seen cell phone models is Samsung's A670 phone. This phone is popular among users because of its inexpensive pricing, its small design, and the availability of extra features because of said popularity and volume. Yet, with the many positives and status quo nature of cell phones, and this model in particular, come some negatives. In the past years, researchers have linked cell phones not only to automotive fatalities, but to cancerous tumors, as well."

Abstract
This paper examines the current trend of people listening more frequently to conservative or "right wing" talk shows. It focuses on the shows of three hosts - John Carlson, Michael Savage and Rush Limbaugh and discusses how they have successfully adapted their conservative radio programs to compete with new forms of media.
From the Paper
"Imagine a view from the early 1920?s; a family huddled together in front of their brand new radio. The children are excitedly waiting for the familiar sounds of ?The Lone Ranger.? Mom and Dad sit back, enjoying not only the family time together, but their moments of quiet relaxation. Eighty years ago this was the image most Americans conjure in their minds when they pictured the early day of radio. Today, radio has changed dramatically. The word radio no longer can describe the genera?s housed under it. We have music radio, with pop, rock, country and jazz. Separate from musical radio is talk radio, which encompassed home and garden tips, health information, and, often, conservative opinion talk radio programs."

Abstract
This paper discusses the use of radio-diagnostic imagery instead of the more standard form of autopsy in forensic medicine. The paper examines the pros and cons of using images provided by machinery such as MRIs instead of the information provided by the more invasive autopsy procedure. The paper discusses the accuracy of radio-diagnostic imagery compared with its less technologically advanced counterpart in determining causes of death. The author concludes that while radio-diagnostic imaging can be useful in forensic medicine, it can not yet replace traditional autopsy.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"There has been an increase in the use of MRI in forensics in making a diagnosis when death involved either injury or disease. Stated to be one of the: "main criticisms of the use of MRI as an alternative to conventional autopsy is the lack of validation of this imaging technique." This is due to the mixed results that have been reported related to MRI post mortem examinations in the fields of neuropathology and paediatrics."
