Abstract
In B. Latour's "Give Me a Laboratory and I Will Raise the World" and G. Geison's "The Private Science of Louis Pasteur" readers are given a glimpse into the laboratory practices of one of the icons of modern biological science. The two works share a vision of laboratory practice as central to the scientific method and, moreover, consider that the popular distinction between "inside" (the laboratory) and outside (the socio-political world) is both arbitrary and inaccurate. However, as this paper will argue, the two works differ radically when it comes to perspective. Geison's book is iconoclastic in that it interrogates the mythmaking process that he perceives as integral to Pasteur's laboratory work. Latour's chapter, on the other hand, may be seen as iconic for its militant defense of Pasteur's personality and practice as models of laboratory science to be adhered to in the present day.

Abstract
This paper evaluates the primary components of a cytology laboratory. The author emphasizes the research personnel and the objectives sought with the research plan. The paper relates that a laboratory requires a team of individuals that work cooperatively to achieve a number of common goals, which necessitates the understanding of the organizational structure.
From the Paper
"In any research-based environment, there is a strong necessity to provide research personnel with the tools and the space that is necessary to conduct effective inquiries into their area of interest. Therefore, a laboratory is a critical component of the research atmosphere, as it offers scientists the opportunity to conduct various studies and experiments that will potentially lead to new and exciting discoveries. In the field of cytology, the laboratory is the key component of all cell-based research, and it is necessary to provide adequate equipment, supplies, heating and cooling apparatus, and space to conduct this research effectively. However, there is another significant component to the laboratory, and this requires key personnel, individuals that are strongly committed to the research being performed within this space. A team effort is essential to develop the strongest research plan, to conduct the proposed experiments, to identify results and to draw valid conclusions."

Abstract
The paper gives a brief outline of the philosophical roots of enquiry into the human mind and the shift to 'scientifically valid' experimentation advocated by enlightenment scholars such as Descartes. The paper explores whether the conditions in laboratory experiments are artificial and, if so, does this affect the validity of results when applied to real world conditions.
From the Paper
"As the study of the human mind shifted its focus from philosophical introspection to scientific enquiry problems of ?confounding variables? arose contaminating certain aspects of psychological experiments. This led researchers to a shift the experiments into the laboratory, resulting in increasingly artificial and controlled conditions. Problems encountered when applying results from the laboratory to ?real world? conditions are valid concerns that require consideration. In this essay I will give a brief outline of the history of the shift to laboratory-based experiments in psychology, examine the reasoning behind the increasingly controlled experimental conditions, discuss whether these conditions limit generalisability and consider the value of such experiments in defining aspects of human behaviour in ?real world? conditions."

Abstract
This paper attempts to briefly summarise the main points of Breen's paper and evaluate his metaphor of the classroom as an experimental laboratory in the light of the author's recent work with ELT programmes in government primary schools in S.E. Asia.
From the Paper
"Chinese culture deems the schoolteacher as all-important, the fountain of all knowledge & worthy of respect. School children stand when the teacher enters the classroom & bow when greeting them. Everything the teacher says is written down & chanting, drilling and dictation in EFL lessons are the order of the day. Large class sizes, (typically 38 - 45 students per class) conspire against inclusive learning or the teacher taking much notice of learning styles or attitudes."

Animals in Laboratory Experiments, 1991.
This paper argues, on moral grounds, against the use of animals in scientific studies.
1,350 words (approx. 5.4 pages), 8 sources, $ 47.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
From the Paper
"The use of animals in laboratory experiments is a controversial topic. Many people are opposed to vivisection, or medical experiments using living animals. These people feel that the suffering of lab animals is a moral issue similar to black slavery or the repression of women. Controversy exists, however, because there are also many people who feel that animal experiments are necessary for the prolonging of human life. This point of view has been expressed, for example, by the former Surgeon General C. Everett Koop. According to Koop, animal research has been responsible for increasing life expectancy in the United States from 52 years in the early 1900's to 72 years today. On this basis, many doctors and scientists are in favor of maintaining animal experimentation.
This paper will argue against this view, and ... "

From the Paper
"Social science, economic, corporate and business strategy, public and government policies all are considered to play a significant role in the success or failure of an organization at any location around the world. In the modern marketplace, no fixed or definitive strategy can be assumed to be most effective. What may be appropriate for one company in the same industry may not exactly work for another company. Contemporary management theories place great emphasis on these variables; consequently, marketing strategies also use many of these theories to understand and evaluate the market for the product and services of the organization."

Louis Pasteur, 2005.
This paper discusses the work of French scientist Louis Pasteur, who revolutionized the studies of chemistry and biology.
805 words (approx. 3.2 pages), 5 sources, APA, $ 28.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the implications and applications of Pasteur's work extend into differing areas including human health and medicine and the food industries. The author points out that Pasteur alone was responsible for boosting and saving many of France's most important and lucrative industrial sectors such as wine, silk and farm animals. The paper relates that Pasteur's findings on germs and vaccinations are still applied to human medical practices today; he was the first to demonstrate that injecting small amounts of a weakened strain of bacteria would render an organism immune from this bacteria's detrimental effects.
From the Paper
"Pasteur's first major discoveries related directly to France's wine industry. Though yeast was already known to be the precursor for fermentation processes, Pasteur developed a deeper understanding of the process of fermentation. For example, he noted that while yeast causes the primary fermentation of a substance into alcohol, unwanted germs and bacteria can cause the product to sour. Applying his research to both the wine and beer industries in France, Pasteur discovered that heating the products kills the germs and therefore prevents the formation of souring agents like lactic acid. His process, called pasteurization after the esteemed scientist, was quickly applied to milk. Pasteurization works especially on substances like wine, beer, and milk, which contain large quantities of sugars: When microorganisms invade those substances, they interact with the sugars to cause souring."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The research showed that Charles River Laboratories is a Massachusetts-based company that was founded in 1947 and competes on a global basis today. The company provides products that have been shown to contribute in significant ways to the development of new drugs, including research models and their associated services. The research also showed that the company is subject to regulatory oversight from a wide range of national and international agencies, but has managed to not only comply with these regulations but has managed to effect substantive changes to them to their advantage over the years as well. The company has enjoyed a healthy economic performance, offset in part by recent changes in its accounting practices as described further in their latest annual report, but the bottom line outlook for Charles River Laboratories remains positive because the biotechnology industry is likewise expected to grow in exponential terms in the years to come. In sum, Charles River Laboratories is well positioned to take advantage of this explosive growth in the biotechnology field, and barring any unforeseen innovations in computer modeling applications for this purpose, demand for their products will likely continue to increase for the foreseeable future."

Abbott Laboratories, 2008.
A financial ratio analysis for Abbott Laboratories.

Abstract
This paper examines the 2006 financial status of Abbott Laboratories based on an analysis of their liquidity, solvency, profitability and asset management ratios. These financial ratios show that Abbot has solid financial policies, despite a significant increase in short-term borrowings in 2006. The paper indicates that some of the ratios show that company profitability or asset utilization has decreased at Abbott from 2004 to 2006; however, this is most likely a short-term effect of the company's strategic reorganization to target its core business sectors and of the purchases and acquisitions that have not yet had the time to show their profitability. The paper includes formulas and chart.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Liquidity Ratios
Solvency Ratios
Profitability Ratios
Asset Management Ratios
Conclusions
From the Paper
"In our opinion, it is not something to be concerned about, since the current ratio figure in 2006 is still around the value of 1, showing that the company currently has no difficulties in covering its short-term liabilities. Nevertheless, this is something that needs to be kept under observation in the subsequent period of time, so as not to become uncontrolled. The company's policies of reducing debts show that this is a priority under observation for the company's management."
