"Potatoes are nutritious and versatile, providing an energy source from carbohydrates and providing protein and important vitamins B and C and minerals including potassium, copper and manganese.
Potatoes-Why eating the potatoes with the skin provides a substantial helping of fiber. The average American consumes many pounds of potatoes per year, and they are consumed in higher quantities than any other vegetable making them the leading source of vitamin C in the American diet. The only drawback is that most of them are not sold fresh..."

Abstract
This paper discusses the maintenance required for the upkeep of liquid storage tanks. The paper explains that these tanks need to be inspected, repaired, and tested prior to usage. In the U.S. for example, the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), along with the American Petroleum Institute (API), determine the guidelines by which tank farms have to be managed. The paper contends that fear of leaks and contamination of the ground water and the subsequent ground water, oil clean-up has resulted in the creation of extensive and detailed guidelines by which these tanks have to be maintained to prevent any failures.
From the Paper
"Ever since crude oil was first successfully drilled in the U.S. in Titusville, Pennsylvania, in 1859, the demand for oil has only been increasing over the years in countries all over the world. (Camden, 1883) Crude oil is not used in the extracted form; but it is refined to obtained products such as gasoline, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), naphtha, kerosene, gas-oil and fuel oil. Secondary products during the purification of crude oil are obtained are lubricants, asphalt, perfumes and insecticides. There are, approximately, more than 4,000 different petrochemical products obtained from refining of crude oil that have commercial value. All these products have to be stored for consumption. (DOE, 2000)"

Storage area networks are defined as a network storage infrastructure environment dedicated to assuring accessibility to data on a scalable, reliable IT infrastructure. The paper compares what industry leading experts maintain, relative to the strengths and weaknesses of these technologies. The paper explains that Internet Protocol-based networks need to show greater scalability and fault tolerance to be considered ready for enterprise-wide use.
Outline:
Introduction
Peer-to-Peer Technologies Literature Review
Storage Area Networking (SAN) Literature Review
From the Paper
"International Data Corporation (2003), Gartner Group (2005) and several other research organizations have validated the fact that peer-to-peer based storage architectures are critical for the growth of emerging enterprises. Accentuating this market requirement is the growth in compliance requirements for all publicly-traded companies in the U.S. as defined by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (2002). The combined effects of transparent access to data to enable market responsiveness, in essence the need for agility in their emerging growth markets on the one hand, and the need for compliance on the other is driving the adoption of peer-to-peer storage networking architectures."

A discussion regarding the necessity to limit email storage within a company.
1,596 words (approx. 6.4 pages), 4 sources, APA, $ 52.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper reviews and discusses the proposal of a company's finance and accounting department to impose an email storage quota. According to the paper, the proposal was made in an attempt to combat the extra costs of network administrators and backup storage devices. The paper further reports that an email storage quota would also increase the responsibility and awareness level of the employees who would have to manage their computerized communications.
From the Paper
"Aside from supporting a more efficient hardware system, an email storage limitation to 100 megabytes also supports a better quality of the Internet connection. The email quota limitation will force employees to reduce the number of emails sent to one email every 6 seconds. Furthermore, an electronic mailing limitation will offer a better control of the spam emails received and will oblige employees to delete them, instead of storing them, as in the case of unlimited emailing facilities. Also regarding the junk mail, a limitation offers the possibility of controlling whether the employees are sending spam mail towards customers, and if so, ending such actions. "

Abstract
This paper explores the changes incurred by the merger that created Hitachi Global Storage Technology. The paper describes the adverse effects the merger had on employees, including the initial layoffs and relocation for many remaining employees. The paper further describes skills that workers and management alike needed to develop to accommodate all of these changes including flexibility; patience; tolerance for ambiguity; tolerance for change; open-mindedness; patience; and resiliency.
From the Paper
"Hitachi Global Storage Technologies (HGST), a trans-national Hard Disk Drive business, is the result of a still-uneasy blending of two traditional organizational models, IBM and Hitachi (Vance, 2004; Taing, 2005), into a single, trans-globally formed, and thereby completely transformed organizational model. HGST today, the result of a 2003 merger between IBM's and Hitachi's Hard Disk Drive (HDD) facilities (Miyagi, 2002), has had some growing pains, as a separate and distinct organization because it has had to combine two very different organizational cultures: a quintessentially Japanese one (Hitachi) with a quintessentially American one (IBM), to form a whole new corporation (Hara, 2003; Letterman, 2004; Vance, 2004) "

Abstract
This paper looks at various factors in self-regulation and how different temperaments affect them. It cites several studies done in young children and how they are able to delay gratification for a greater reward, as an example of self-regulatory ability.
From the Paper
"The self-regulation of appetitive impulses has been studied mostly in pre-school children looking at their ability to forgo an immediate reward that is less attractive in return for a delayed reward that is more attractive to them. It has been shown that the children psychologically distance themselves from the hot quality of the reward taste of cookies by focusing on cool cognitive cues such as the shape of the cookies or by distracting thoughts. These authors hypothesized that thinking of rejection in terms of hot emotional responses would cause more hostility..."

Physiological Responses to Variations in Cold Pressor Temperatures, 2002.
A look at an experiment carried out on cardiovascular reactivity in relation to the use of the cold pressor.
1,345 words (approx. 5.4 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 45.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper analyzes an experiment of physiological reactivity in relation to different temperatures of the cold pressor. Three groups of subjects are compared using 15 people in each group. Each group experienced a different temperature of the cold pressor, specifically 0, 10 or 20 degrees Celsius. Physiological measurements taken were systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart period and pre-ejection period. The data was analyzed and compared between groups to determine differences in nervous system reactivity. The results showed a clearer understanding of cardiovascular reactivity in relation to the use of the cold pressor.
From the Paper
"Cold pressor techniques are used in psychophysiological research to induce pain and stimulate the sympathetic nervous system. The cold pressor as an experimental tool can be applied to the subject?s forehead or the subject?s foot or arm can be immersed in ice water, with each variation resulting in differing degrees of physiological response (Durel, et. al., 1993). The limb applications are considered the most reliable because the facial application may involve the dive reflex (Durel, et. al., 1993). For the purpose of this study, the arm immersion will be used."

From the Paper
"HDS' advantage may also come down to successfully convincing IT management that the HDS array system is better than IBM's storage virtualization controller (SVC). HDS has been ahead of EMC in virtualization, and EMC considers the first version of Invista a high-end product. However, IBM has had early success in mid-range land, claiming 1,000 customers for SVC. Virtualization gives HDS a mid-tier product that EMC won't have until the middle of next year at this price range. HDS' virtualization performance should be similar to (if not better than) IBM's. Overall, however, IBM's edge is in implementation with IFC, whereas HDS' edge may be in price and functionality. Again, using Pacific Capital Bancorp in California as a case study, citing its recent award as the winner of Storage Networking World's Best Practices in Storage Systems Implementation, could be used by IS management."

Nuclear Waste Storage, 2006.
A look at the pros and cons of a proposal to store nuclear waste in Nevada.
1,066 words (approx. 4.3 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 37.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper takes a look at a proposal to store nuclear waste in Yucca Mountain in Nevada. It examines the supposed advantages of such a proposal as well as its disadvantages and points out that, while the residents of Nevada may benefit economically from an arrangement with the federal government to bury nuclear waste in their state, the benefits would be negligible, especially in comparison to the potential health risks that such a proposal poses.
From the Paper
"The power of nuclear reactions was demonstrated in the most conclusive and drastic way possible in 1945, when the United States dropped atomic bombs on both Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan. But nuclear reactions can be harnessed for peaceful, no-military uses, as well. Namely, nuclear power can be used as a source of energy. One side effect of energy generation by nuclear fission is that waste is produced and this waste is itself radioactive. The storage of the radioactive waste is, therefore, a problem, and one, in fact, with both scientific and political aspects. One state which has been repeatedly mentioned as a place within which radioactive waste could be stored is Nevada. Storing nuclear waste in Nevada has both positive and negative aspects for the state's population. Although Nevada would receive many benefits from storing nuclear waste, in actuality it poses many possible threats to the people living there."

Nuclear Waste Storage, 1996.
Examines alternatives, safety, types of waste, regulations, costs, technology, reprocessing, natural & human hazards, examples.
3,825 words (approx. 15.3 pages), 6 sources, $ 135.95

From the Paper
"Although the nuclear waste storage problem has not yet reached crisis proportions, it is a chronic, complex issue that defies societal consensus, even within the scientific community. Each category of nuclear waste--high-level, low-level, and transuranic (TRU)--presents unique challenges for containment. All are potentially dangerous; at issue is the selection of the best options for long-term storage.
High-level nuclear waste is comprised of spent fuel from private sector and military reactors, as well as the liquids remaining from fuel processed for atomic weaponry. Used reactor fuel is considered intensely hot and irradiated. High-level nuclear wastes have long half-lives and are considered permanent hazards. (Half-life describes the amount of time required for 50 percent of a reactor fuel's original radioactivity to decay.)"

Abstract
Potatoes are the world's most widely grown vegetable. However, this status is being challenged by other carbohydrate staples around the world due to changing diets and quality perceptions. This paper examines the basic biology of the potato, agriculture and cultivation and market access.
From the Paper
"In order to achieve maximum yield potential with acceptable quality, it is important to select the most appropriate combinations of potato genotypes, environmental conditions and management practices. Maximum yield is not necessarily a desirable goal - the impact of achieving maximum yield on the tuber quality and marketability of the crop must be considered. Sometimes the factors influencing the quality of the tubers, conflict with those involved in maximising the yield. Conditions required to ensure a high yield include: a frost free growing season, warm days (>18oC) and cool nights, periods of low humidity to facilitate control of leaf disease and well drained soils. The canopy of the potato plant above the soil needs to be kept alive and functional for approximately 95 days after the start of tuber initiation. ie: growth needs to be maintained for 95 days so that young, photosynthetically active tissue is maintained."

Temperature in Natural Grasslands and Plant Biomass, 2005.
An analysis of average annual temperature and the biomass of organic material in natural grasslands.
1,000 words (approx. 4.0 pages), 3 sources, MLA, $ 35.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this paper, the author examines a study by W.K. Lauenroth as it is presented in "Fundamentals of Physical Geography: 2nd Edition." The author argues that average annual temperature, as a part of climate, is very important in relation to biomass of plant material.
From the Paper
"Lauenroth's study is important because it suggests that the average annual temperature can in fact play a deterministic role in influencing primary productivity in natural grasslands. Other "meteorological variables" come into play "such as rainfall, windliness and duration of sunshine" but temperature "is probably the most significant climatic factor in biological terms as all metabolic processes...are temperature dependent" (Ford 17). If the average annual temperature is too low (below approximately four degrees celsius) then, according to Lauenroth's study, the biomass of organic life is essentially zero tonnes per hectare in natural grasslands: this could be due to the fact that low temperatures are correlated with low amounts of sunlight and plants require sunlight to produce their own food."

Abstract
Vincent Van Gogh, born March 30, 1853, was a Dutch painter who began after the impressionist era. This paper discusses how Van Gogh's work is full of passion and his style very spontaneous. It explains that Van Gogh was the son of a Dutch Protestant pastor; therefore he was brought up in a very religious setting. It discusses how his life experience gave him the inspiration to paint and soon he was becoming well-known for his abilities. In 1885, Van Gogh painted what would be forever known as his first masterpiece. It shows how this painting, "The Potato Eaters", was his intentional attempt to establish his reputation in the painting world.
From the Paper
"Van Gogh began this painting in August of 1883 after studying for over five years in the art community. This was his hope of becoming a respected artist by not only other artists but also by art dealers. Soon he gave up after only completing a sketch of the piece because he was restless and realized that the project entailed more than he was able to produce. After spending more time studying the art of painting and proper technique, Van Gogh determined that he was now ready to return to his sketch and create the scene of peasant farmers at their meal. The Potato Eaters contains five figures that were painted in such a technique that they would appear real along with their feelings displayed for the viewer. "Dark and somber, sometimes crude, these early works evidence van Gogh's intense desire to express the misery and poverty of humanity as he saw it among the miners in Belgium" (Microsoft Encarta Encyclopedia 1). The Potato Eaters was Van Gogh's representation of reality during his time. After finishing several sketches, he set out to transfer his final sketch as an oil painting on canvas."
